For the fourth Super Collection Figure wave, Megatron's left arm was changed to feature Laserbeak perching on it.

TakaraTomy Staff Interview - Hisashi Yuki on Masterpiece: - So the idea was to ask the fans directly what they want first, then realise it as a product. Soundblaster came packaged with Buzzsaw, who now sported a new sticker which would reveal the weak spot of Fortress Maximus when placed behind Soundblaster's translucent red chest door, in the same manner that Tech Specs decoders worked. Soundwave comes with closed and open chest doors, and alternate arms depending on whether owners want him to be posing, pointing, opening his chest door, holding his own guns, or holding a gun-mode Megatron.The schedule came with it and I was stunned when I realised that I was only given 12 days, about 2 weeks. After a vicious beating from rival "businessmech" Thunderhoof's goons, Gnashteeth had Scorponok overload the D. As he climbed through the ship's maintenance tubes, he found his way to the ship's power core, wherein robotic arms loaded energon cubes into the core, and slammed into it, causing the warship to crash.

Laserbeak still sports his more orangey-red paint job, and comes with his weapons and his own cassette case. Soundwave began life as the Micro Change toy "Cassette Man", and went mostly unchanged when he was imported by Hasbro to become part of the Transformers toyline, save for exclusion of some accessories, and the removal of a molded "Cassette Man" logo and "MC-10" on his cassette door. The toy's press release identifies the tapes as Laserbeak, Ravage, and Ratbat, but since all three sport the sculpted details of the original Laserbeak toy and are colored solid red, gold, and orange, just who is meant to be who is unclear. Both the Autobots and Decepticons used energon cubes to regain energy they had lost in the heat of battle.Energon cubes were created via an empty cube-shaped, framework generated by Decepticons, most notably Soundwave, More than Meets the Eye, Part 1 Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1 Energon cubes seemed to be Decepticon technology going as far back as Cybertron's Golden Age, War Dawn as when the Autobots awoke in 1984, they seemed unaware of them, most notably Hound. Even standard cubes could become unstable if cut, which combined with an elevator could make for a handy bomb in tight quarters. The set included the tape case from his original Japanese release, but featured noticeably lighter orange stickers in tape mode. The transformation process was expected to require lots of folding of the parts to achieve it, and solving that problem became a very important task.
