We all knew this was coming. Supposedly, he can hold three tapes in his chest, and he comes with a new tape – Ratbat. Hard to say if this will see American shores. Hasbro has shown they’re willing to release multiple versions of Masterpiece toys, and it’s not like Soundblaster is foreign to our country anymore (see the Fall of Cybertron release). Will it be released here with Ratbat at a lower price than Masterpiece Soundwave?
