After the recent unveiling of the upcoming release of Masterpiece MP-12 Sideswipe, Takara has surprisingly stated the following in their toy panel at Cybertron Con '12 in Singapore. They are seriously looking into the possibility of these two releases in the near future

• Masterpiece MP-?? Soundwave
• Reissue Fortress Maximus

Will they happen? Only time will tell.

Keep it at Seibertron.com for your latest Transformers happenings around the world.

Come on TT ... you know you have to do Fort Max!

Re-issue Fort Max!!!!!

*Faints*

Takara, make it so, and make it fast!!!

So, they are looking into MP Soundwave? I wonder why they put that out? oh yeah, Acoustic Wave is due out soon. They are saying that to stop people buying it but at the same time they may decide not to release it. So, our choice is a. Wait for TakaraTomy to to confirm it either way or b. Get Acoustic Wave which is 100% confirmed. Sorry Takara, I need pics of a Masterpiece Soundwave (prototype would suffice) before I don't buy Acoustic Wave.

Encore Fort Max, while awesome, would require you to sell your first born to ship at a reasonable price.

The only way Takara will stop people buying Acoustic Wave is to confirm that MP Soundwave is on its way, otherwise AW might be just too tempting.

They've actually had MPSW on the drawing board for quite some time. The last thing HasTak need to worry about are third parties releasing coinciding figures, when it comes down to it - the sheer number of people are going to be buying into a Masterpiece figure rather than a third party equivalent.

I've always had a passing interest in fort max, though the price never agreed with me. Maybe now I should just start saving up, so when if it happens, just get it.

If it has been on the drawing board why are they only now saying they are looking into it? The best way to halt Acoustic Wave, which is nearly on the shelves, is to show MP Soundwave right now. Looking in to making it is like saying "sure we might make it now or we will release one in 20 years but it is coming". The people who want a Masterpiece Soundwave and have wanted one since MP01 first appeared may not wait for an unconfirmed release and go the third party route. I want a Masterpiece Soundwave and I will get the first one that appears on the market. However, the beauty of Transformers is two (or more) display modes. What is the harm in getting both, should they actually make an official one.

While it's rather coincidental that they release this information publically at this time, I've known about this for a good half year. And not just know about it's existance, but what it's going to come with. I'll vouch for the fact that if you are a little bit patient with HasTak, you're going to be happier.

No offence intended, as I wouldn't call you a liar but I will believe it when I see it, see it being the appropriate word. All the cassettes packaged with him would be a high selling point and make me pass on AW.
