Here is a picture of a MOSC ROTF BLUE SOUNDWAVE TRU EXCLUSIVE, it is on a regular soundwave card (the picture of soundwave on the back is not the blue soundwave but the original grey soundwave)
It's recommended you take this with a grain of salt, as it could be anything from a pre-production mistake, to an actual release seen in some part of the world.

I'm seeing twist ties around the hands and feet.

EDIT 1: Another reason I think it's fake is because I doubt Hasbro would take the only reason people are going to buy a $50 boxset and sell it individually.

I'm going with fake here...is it just me or did anyone else notice something that looks like condensation along the to[ and bottom of the blister. I also looked very closely at where the blister would adhere to the card and you can definitely see white where the blister was possibly cut loose from card. I also think I see sotch tape on the side of the card...totally going with fake here. Also agree that there would be a new name for the figure.

Not sure where you are seeing the supposed tape. I don't see it (of course the tape could still be there).
And guys, there is a precedent for this type of packaging. Look at the Japanese Universe versions of Onslaught, Powerglide and Silverbolt. They were repaints sold in packaging that looked like the original American versions. Why can't that be the case here? I'm just not so convinced it's a fake here.

Yeah, I saw that too and thought it could be fake. However, I checked some online pictures regarding the Soundwave figure. I've seen that same line before now. Heck, some bubbles can take quite a beating in stores. I don't think that white line proves a whole lot.
edit: My bad. Wrong pic.

The real Soundwave's head is already blue, but this is still a fake.

EDIT 1: Another reason I think it's fake is because I doubt Hasbro would take the only reason people are going to buy a $50 boxset and sell it individually.
But something that convinces me is that under the conversion level, it says "Advanced Conversion". This is not present on the Preview Wave's packaging. I know this, I kept it.

Then you should know that the front is the same on all cards, only the inserts are different Just show us the back already!

-_-. No. This packaging is slightly different. Granted, it could just be an entirely different figure's case or a genuine rerelease. But the little "Advanced Conversion" Statement isn't on the preview packaging!!!

Yep. And this would make that boxset pretty pointless.
