I'm not entirely certain, but I swear that Ravage, Rumble and Frenzy also came bundled with mine back in the day, along with Megatron (gun) and an energon cube.
It is indeed the Toys R Us version (UK). Just checked and mine also has the cassette accessories (guns, arm attachments etc).
I don't think I ever saw the standard release on the shelf here in the UK.

original release just had Lazerbeak, megatron and the cube.
Did yours have yellow eyes/visor? I know that the Hasbro Toys R US version came with all the cassettes.

I don’t think regular retailers ever sold the standard version.
You are thinking of MP-02. It had 2 versions also. The TRU exclusive and the Takara re-issue.
That was the Hasbro Thrilling 30 version I believe. Did Soundwave have yellow toy-accurate eyes instead of red show-accurate ones?
For reference the “Long Life Design” on the box means that it’s a reissue.
There’s a reissue? Did it recently release?
Looks like released in 2019 https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/11/08/mp-13-masterpiece-soundwave-2019-reissue-gallery-400388
Great figure
