Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

OMG, already?! Looks amazing. Really looking forward to this. Interesting, they still seem to have done a reasonable facsimile of an interior! I'm glad the windows are actually clear, initial pics made it seem as if they were painted black.

The more the pics are coming out, the more I think that I'm buying a Lamborghini that just happens to be a Transformer.

Meh easy pass. Looks too simple in bot mode. While I do agree that the alt mode is pure win but the bot mode is not that interesting. Cant wait for MP-13 Soundwave to be release in December
.
PS : On side note, I guess that would make MP-12 the simplest MP so far now instead of Grimlock xD.

This being a Masterpiece, they could have made the back kibble more compact, and used clear plastic for the tail lights.
That said, I've already pre-ordered him.

I'm pretty sure that back kibble is mistransformed. We've seen pictures with the side windows far more compact. I think he forgot to hinge the windows inward once more.
IMO he's still more complex than Grimlock.

Yup, a few mistranformations. I'm not seeing the interior you're referencing. Which pic?

I sure hope so. That massive hollow roof would have received complaints even on a deluxe toy.

That's the whole point to the Masterpieces (or, one of them). To be as show-accurate to the cartoon models as humanly possible.

From comparing images of MP Sideswipe and Red Alert with MP-10 to reality, it looks like they will be just a hair taller than their Classics counterparts in robot mode. It does look like the car mode will be a bit longer and flatter than the Classics version (I don't know how this compares to the relative size and proportions of the Countach to the Diablo).
Edit: Crappy phonecam shot:
compare to
They will be comparable in size to
current "Voyagers', perhaps.

Not sure about the Diablo, but according to Wikipedia, the Countach is actually smaller than the Gallardo.
