Titanium Soundblaster

Cancellation and unreleased toys

Titanium Series began full of ambition, pulling characters from all over the franchise, utilising the talents of fan favourite artist Don Figueroa, and bringing die-cast to Western Transformers fans for the first time since the 80s. As time went on, the realities of producing such a line proved too expensive and retailers lost interest, causing many products in both ranges to slip through the cracks.

Both of these toys were exhibited by Hasbro in the upcoming product display at BotCon 2007. As per the Cybertron Heroes checklist, Soundblaster was intended for Wave 9 alongside Prowl, and Primal Prime was intended for Wave 10 with Grimlock. These plans were reflected by the cross-sells on the packaging for Prowl and Grimlock when they were finally released as Toys"R"Us exclusives in 2008, their boxes having evidently been finalised before the Titanium Series was cancelled.

A planned redeco of Titanium Soundwave in his black and red Soundblaster colors, this toy would have come with a new Titanium version of Ravage instead of Laserbeak. Although displayed at BotCon 2007, Soundblaster was ultimately canceled along with many other solicited 6" Cybertron Heroes, but this did not stop him from appearing as a cross-sell on the packaging for Titanium Prowl in late 2008 (which claimed he would have been "also available" as of November 2008), as Hasbro was unwilling to spend the resources on altering the packaging for these already-complete products.
