Getting the proper soundwave is gonna be a bitch, I caved and got the year of the goat for $129, and myers had him on sale for $99 around christmas time which was a bitch, all I can suggest is mandarake for him but its mostly sound blaster's with ratbat (exclusive to this black repaint), shame the hasbro mp soundwave is the most expensive one (but it did come all the cassettes, much like the YOTG one).
Starscream was a bit easier for me, got the recent hasbro one for about $140 from toys r us but we had very limited numbers, better off ringing around, though the mold has some issues and the fittings on mine are fucked.
If you want the takara (japanese one) there is one on ebay for $250 (first result), no flight stand like the hasbro BUT you get a spiffy crown and cape, and this guy selling the asia reissue so it comes with a collector coin if you're into that sorta thing.
Do avoid mp megatron, aside from being kinda shitty looking he's technically illegal as he counts as a replica firearm, I just got lucky with mine, some states allow him but you need a gun license and gun locker.
I find going on ebay for the hasbro ones to be a safe bet cost wise though they may not hold a candle to the more pricy takara ones.
Also mp shockwave is still up for pre-order, try hlj, amiami or
premiumcollectables.com.au for him and others where available.
