Of note is that the European packaging does not market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. The toy is mostly blue and gray, with some gold, red, and silver paint details here and there. Part of a Walmart exclusive pack alongside Bumblebee and Rodimus, Cyberverse Soundwave is a redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Class Soundwave, with a new deco inspired by the Toys"R"Us exclusive Gathering at Nemesis gift set (see above), which in turn was heavily influenced by Generation 1 Soundwave. ![]() Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist).Bumblebee / Soundwave with Rodimus (Cyberverse 3-pack, 2011).Nope, definitely not a car in the third film.

Surprisingly, the package does not recognize his Cybertron jet mode, instead only acknowledging his satellite mode. Sadly, this promotion does not exist in Europe or Australia, but Recon Ravage was made available in the latter country as a Toys"R"Us exclusive.

The configuration for the satellite mode depicted in the toy's instructions is not the way Soundwave appears in the film, featuring a different angling for the panels on his shoulders. Soundwave features numerous red and gold paint applications which are very cleverly and subtly positioned around his body to replicate similarly-colored and -positioned details on the original Soundwave toy. Probably to avoid giving the toy a very obviously two-headed robot mode, the alternate face lacks any paint details, and has an unpainted blue visor. In his (rather stocky) robot mode, Soundwave has blue light piping in his visor, but it is disabled, having been painted over in red his other modes feature a second, armored version of his face, which is stored on the back of his robot mode. In all three modes, Soundwave features a spring-loaded missile launcher which fires a missile intended to resemble Ravage, in reference to the scene in the film in which he launches the feline fiend down to Earth. Part of the initial Movie Preview wave, Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave is a Triple Changer, transforming into a satellite and a Cybertronian jet, which are not exactly what could be described as "distinct" from one another.
