It's fantastic to see Breakdown is still in the pipeline for definite. I imagine Knockout may be the second Arms Micron figure I'd prefer over RiD, again simply because of the paint. MP-12 is an excellent size compared to MP-10, but doubt I'll bite. I don't imagine myself getting an MP Soundwave either. That'll depend on whatever kind of cassette-bot support he gets.

They said he was gonna be the size of a bineltech or altinator so he can fit in primes trailer. And idk if I wanna get this guy right away because if hasbro releases him he's gonna be hella cheap. Look at mp 10 same thing and $150 cheaper

WHAT? C'MON GUYS!
MP-13 Looks like a Papa Smurf-former

hhahahahahahaha just kidding, I think it looks more like Sunstreaker or even red-alert.

I really wish everyone would stop hoping for Sunstreaker to be a mere Sideswipe repaint. He deserves his own mold.

Can an Alternator fit in MP-10? I think MP-10 trailer is a bit too small. The Alternators fit into MP-01

MP-10 trailer can only fit Alternity/deluxe, guys. Alternators/Binaltechs are totally out of the question. Lambor, if in scale, would just be an overpriced Alternity figure.

Sorry, but Alternity figures aren't nearly as detailed or as G1 accurate.

I'm mainly refering to the size, as well as anticipating possible simpler design choices for MP-12, considering the scale

Also, new pic (3D render), with clearer silhouette for MP-13.

I was gonna complain about the hood back, but then I remembered... it's cartoon accurate.

Edit: Also, looks like that silhouette is confirmed for a back view. IMO, it has to be Soundwave.

YES YES YES YES! Sunstreaker and his unique transformation design has a special page in the history of Transformers and in some regards, more significant than SS or RA.

I will say that is a steep price for a figure that might hit 7" inches tall. I will be forced to wait on a price drop from online retailers OR an American release. The Soundwa... I mean MP - 13, is finally revealed just a short while after Fanstoys is terminated.... interesting.

Fantoys isn't putting theirs out any more and I thought the same thing. Fantoys was gonna release an mp soundwave and hasbro and Takara are tired of 3rd party so the put one out to crush the competition.

Now if only Hasbro would make a retail G1-style Devastator.

Just for a BETTER look at MP 12:

I wish anyone would put out different combiners than devy and bruticus I know tfc is doing superion but I want menasor computron and who ever is made by the protector bots I forget what they are called they were emergencie vehicles and a motorcycle. At the moment I have 3 devys I don't need or want anymore lol

Breakdown looks awesome! I can't wait for it to be released in the U.S. If it does at all.

You know, with MP-12's scale, a MP Menasor doesn't sound impossible at all, since it's 4 cars and a truck.

I didn't even think of that I reall hope customizers can come up with something

Hello Soundwave?

Not sure how you thought MP-13 to be soundwave, because that totally looks like another Lambor mold.

I'm with you. It looks like a shot taken from a different angle to me. Nothing about it says Soundwave to me. I am intrigued by the new direction Masterpiece is going.

Comparing the MP13 silhouette with 3rd party SW, I can say that is Soundwave.



(pictures was used for comparison only)

Sideswipes chest should fold at the sides a bit the chest looks too square and flat it looks out of place compared to the rest of his body.

A better version of the MP-12 Lambor image has surfaced on ACToys! This version is clearer and shows the figure from the back and in vehicle mode. The MP-13 teaser is present as well. Check it out below.

So awesome with that countach alt mode... mmmm
Would have helped if they allowed the back part to rotate 180 in robot mode.

It's not bad comparison the only thing that throws me off is the shoulder cannon .

That image settles it. He's definitely at least Voyager-sized.

I thought Lamborghini didn't want their cars being war toys? Guessing this will make it impossible for Hasbro to bring it to the states.

Also, notice the apparent size comparison with MP-10. Looks like the MP line is getting down scaled.

Im not bothered by the scale issue. I'd be quite happy for all the MP line to be as tall as MP01 Prime.

I know that being smaller it will be cheaper but I like the idea of MP figures towering over pretty much every other figure from every other line.

So long as its as good as it can be ( preferably with die cast parts, mmmm shiny ) I'll be happy though.
