As part of our recent "rare toy" image gallery updates which have included  Bumblebee Silver Version and Megatron Gold Version we thought it was time to turn back the block and bring you another image gallery update of one of our rarer figures from the 1990s.  Generation 2 LazerCycle Soundwave.  For those that don't know, Soundwave was due to be released as a recoloured LazerCycles Road pig along side Lazer Cycle Jazz but the G2 toyline was cancelled.  No one is quite sure how many of these toys were produced, originally it was rumoured that there was only 15 of them, but that has since been disproved and it is generally considered that since carded versions were produced that a reasonable production run was actually made.  That being said, these figures are still pretty difficult to track down, perhaps as they are not as sort-after as the Stunticons and Protectobots who are arguably the most sort after of the unreleased Generation Two items.

4Chan.org/toy have posted more Transfo­rmers Dark of the Moon toys including two from a Yahoo Japan auction for a boxed Optimus Prime and two of what appears to be a custom Brawn figure.

­­­­

Over the last month DOTMToys has leaked around 40 images of the upcoming figures via variou websites including facebook, 4Chan, ACToys and his own forum. Below you will find most of the images leaked thus far as a handy round-up.

Update: Looking again at the Brawn figure it does look like a custom piece­

Deaths Head returns .. in his original form .. in Transformers Dark of the Moon!!!!   OK, maybe not.  The popular Bounty Hunter is however making a return in the Panini UK Issue 33 of Marvel Heroes, where he takes on The Hulk.

Here's what Simon Furman has to say.

The original Death’s Head is back — in a special story that pits him against none other than the Incredible Hulk! Issue #33 of Panini UK‘s Marvel Heroes comic features an amazing two-part clash between everyone’s favourite bounty hunter (um, freelance peacekeeping agent) and the jade giant. Part one is written by Ferg Handley and part two (the real head-to-head, as it were) by me, with art by the amazing Simon Williams. Marvel Heroes #33 is out (in the UK) on the 24th of March. Amazingly, this marks my first work on the original Death’s Head since the early 90s, when he guest-starred in the likes of She-Hulk, Marvel Comics Presents and Death’s Head. Don’t miss this special event and reserve your copy now!

1. TRANSFORMERS RESCUE BOTS

­Two auctions appeared earlier on eBay Australia for the Transformers Dark of the Moon Starscream and Crankcase / Dread figures.  The auctions include two imags of the toys in robot mode, albeit mistransformed.

Ours thanks go out to gojira72 for letting us know that he just spotted all four Wave 1 Reveal The Shield deluxe figures on sale in an ASDA store in Harrogate, North Yorkshire priced at £10.97 each.  As gojira72 himself asks "can anyone find the voyagers?"

DOTMToys has posted two images over on 4chan /toy/ of a new Human Alliance figure from Transformers: Dark of the Moon.  The figure has only been shown in vehicle mode, and a mis-transformed form at that but it j­oins the previous leaked "AWE Striker" figure as a smaller Human Alliance figure.
