Nice Costumr Bidoofdude, especially for a two week effort, looks like there are more and more skilled Cosplayers on this board of late. (I'm looking at you Yukitora ;) )

Hmm... I used to have Hasbro reissue Soundwave, and the one in your photo looks different. I got rid of my Hasbro Soundwave after I got Encore Soundwave, but I did take comparison photos before I offloaded it...
L-R: G1 Soundwave, Encore Soundwave, Hasbro reissue Soundwave

When I compare this with your photo, differences include:
+ yours has a richer gold chrome colour (more like the other Soundwaves) whereas Hasbro Soundwave's gold chrome is more 'pale'
+ The arrow on the chest door is unpainted on Hasbro reissue Soundwave, yet it's painted gold chrome on yours (and the other Soundwaves)
+ As a repaint of Soundblaster, Hasbro reissue Soundwave's chest door has the "tech detail" moulded into the top left (Soundwave's right) side, same as Soundblaster, whereas the one in your photo lacks this.
As you can see in the comparison photos, Hasbro reish Soundwave's chest door sticks out like a sore thumb, because it is the double-cassette holding door. I can't tell if yours is like that or not because it's a front on photo - but if you look at the middle photo above you can see how Hasbro reish Soundwave's door really does stick out whereas G1 and Encore are perfectly flat.
Here's a comparison between G1 Soundwave, Hasbro reissue Soundwave and Soundblaster - it shows a more close up look of the chest doors too.

Was your toy mint in sealed box or loose in unsealed box?
Isn't there also another reissue that has a flat chest?

No, mine has all the features you listed for hasbro version. It's the spare warehouse find that bbts found. It says 2012 hasbro so they might have given them more. The difference, I think, is the lighting.
Maybe it's a slight repaint by Hasbro, since it says 2012 Hasbro on it? Idk, I just got it MISB, from BBTS.

It's also weird that the only one with double tape door is Soundblaster and classics Wave. Mine has double door. So this is really confusing. Variant??!?!? I HAVE NO CLUE! Has ar ubsign on the arm, decepticon logo on the door. has those marking indent techy thingos on the top right and left. That's all I can see. Oh yeah, came with Ravage and Laserbeak (shortened boosters) and two cassette cases.
Has anyone else here got the Classics Soundwave that BBTS and TFsource have put up in the past month? I think it might be different.
I got these two Generations. The redone Seekers are awesome.
