But if you look at Sabrblades post, it shows the shorter mp prime with an alternator, and that matches up pretty much the exact same as the picture of Sideswipe, and what looks to be the same mp prime.

Was working on my post before you posted :P

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion that he is about Alternator Smokescreen size, if ever so slightly shorter, and less girth.

Sideswipe is looking better and better but I'm gonna wait for an official pricing before jumping on him. If it comes in under $80 I'll buy it, if not, I'll wait for a Hasbro release.

As for the silhouette, if it is Soundwave, they really should show it and put an end to the third party toy.

Though, a downside to him being Voyager sized means that he cannot fit into MP-10's trailer. :|

Hm, oh well.

True. It seems that the scale will be pretty arbitrary then. Does Rodimus look too big compared to MP-10 in vehicle mode?

I concur that MP-13 is probably Soundwave, if you look above the right shoulder of the silhouette you can see what looks like his launcher thingy. That would be awesome.

My gut reaction to the prototype images of MP-12 is that "It's awfully blocky.". I know that is accurate to the design but seeing as MP-10 was moving towards a more dynamic bot mode for an animated stylized look, MP-12 seems to be going back a step towards MP-01's blocky goodness.

I like MP-12 as it looks in the photos. I'm just wondering how its aesthetics would match up with MP-10's in bot mode.

Looking at this MP-12 design, it seems to be a sort of halfway compromise between the character models of both Sideswipe and Red Alert, so as to make it work for both. It's a little more boxy than Sideswipe, while also not quite as boxy as Red Alert.

I guess I am done buying MP's now. The figure looks great. But, I am not going to spend $160 on a figure that is (at best) the same size as an Alternator. If they decide to do a domestic release of it I will think about it. Otherwise I just can't justify that price.
Weird request here. If anyone has an extra Classics Skywarp or Dirge missile please PM me. I need one.

Although it is nice to have a Side Swipe type of Transformer for an MP slot,I would much rather have gone Ironhide,Ratchet,Prowl,Cliffjumper and maybe Hound before this "Lambor". That is in terms of average ranking Transformers. In terms of huge leaders/first lieutenants like Soundwave,Ultra Magnus(Not ANOTHER freaking repaint!!!!)and Galvatron,the sizable MP-10 scale works for that figure. Now after this Transformer for the MP line is done,I want Takara and Hasbro to finally get around to doing the more requested Transformers and maybe the first MP Citybot.
