And Takara Collection #17 is... (okay, it appears it's actually #18 now)
And Takara Collection #17 is...
Well, according to Amazon Japan, it's Soundblaster.
Yes, it appears the 1987 remold of Soundwave will get the next reissue treatment...
And for those wondering: NO, PREDAKING IS NOT #17. He's not part of Takara's "Collection" line, just like God Ginrai wasn't.
And before I forget it: Thanks to 2005 for the original reporting.

There was no "Headmasters Soundwave". The Headmasters version was Soundblaster, which the initial post is referring to.

Doubtful, given that the #10 reissue was a retool of Soundblaster. At a guess, the original mould simply doesn't exist any more.Originally posted by Ultimate Weapon
Bah, what next the reissue of the 1984 Soundwave!?:rolleyes:

Quoth Ultimate Weapon:
It all depends on which cassette is packaged with him. Hopefully Takara will break away from tradition and gives something other than Laserbeak. Soundwave without cassettes sucks.
Bigbot.com's 10/13/04 entry claims it's Buzzsaw w/ Fortress Maximus sticker.
Edit ~ Never mind. They changed it.

From kae_ae at 2005:
once and for all, the reissue soundwave was not based on the original soundwave, nor soundblaster.
it was based on the running change soundwave, which improved the tape deck cover mechanism (with exposed hinges, and also allowed for later cassettes which were slightly thicker) and carried thru for soundblaster.

Didn't I already link this in my initial post?

Say what now?
Takara's original Soundwave was packed with Rumble. The VSY (was it Y?) version came with Frenzy. Soundblaster came with Buzzsaw, as did Hasbro's Soundwave.
The Collection version was the first Soundwave to be packed with Laserbeak. So how does "something other than Laserbeak" constitute a break from tradition?

OOO maybe Soundblaster will come with Ravage. I'm pretty sure Ravage hasn't been packed together with a cassette player yet.
As for Soundblaster, he looks cool. I'd buy him. I could pose him and my Soundwave in a Wonder Twins pose. WONDER TWINS POWERS ACTIVATE!!!

He probably meant the mold for Laserbeak, as Buzzsaw was just a recolored version (or Laserbeak was a recolor of Buzzsaw, whatever).
Something different from a bird would be nice, is probably what he meant.

From Paladin If he comes with Ravage, I'd definitely buy him.
Wait I am being sold off with a Transformer.... NO!
Sorry had to add some humor and as long as we are still getting Predaking I don't really care about a bigger Soundwave.
The bunnies, they give me knowledge it is neat.

About 6 months ago I started a thread to discuss the likelihood of seeing Stepper, Artfire, and/or Soundblaster reissues. The majority opinion wasn't very optimistic. I can't believe we've got Stepper out, and now Soundblaster is in the works. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's a great time to be a fan.*
