I would think that since Takara did the 2pack cassettes following Soundwave, they'd probably do the same for Soundblaster?
You provide a Hope-raisingly good point there dude! :eek::DQuote:

Who's to say they haven't already designed the other cassettes, or are in the process of, and they're just sitting on them?Quote:

A lack of Western media presence didn't stop Hasbro from releasing their verison of reissue Stepper (Ricochet), Alternators Ricochet and Generations Sky Shadow (Blackshadow). :o Although the latter two were never released in Australia. :/
Having said that, I could understand Hasbro's hesitance in releasing MP Soundblaster. The character is much more obscure in the West, and also a lot of people who already have MP Soundwave won't want to get it again. It could work as a limited exclusive... not sure if it'd work as a regular store release toy though.
That might end up being the case :); From what I've heard there's been quite a bit of scalping going on with Hasbro's Soundwave, so perhaps this could be a reprieve? :o - But then if the scalpers were separating the Cassettes from Soundwave and selling it all separately :mad:, having Ratbat would likely only exacerbate the situation I suppose... :(Quote:

I wouldn't count on Soundblaster getting a Hasbro release. Black Convoy and Sunstorm didn't.
waste of opportunity? Well its Hasbro's call.
