The thumbnail for this post is very misleading. I thought it was supposed to be a pic of MP-14 and nearly exploded in rage that it wasn't Soundwave. Then I read the post and realized it's actually Lambor. A lot of people aren't going to see that though.

I realized that after I posted it, and have already updated the headline. BTW, Soundwave in MP-13. We won't know the identity of MP-14 until the show.

Its really annoying when people don't read. Why would MP-14 be Soundwave?

Because Takara decided to instead skip "13" because it's bad luck?

Since they're announcing MP-14 so soon, could it be either a Sunstreaker mold or Soundwave's cassettes? They;re making my head spin 8-}

Then they would have skipped 4 and 9 too, as those numbers are bad luck in Asia. :lol:

I understand 4... Which is pronounced "si", meaning "death" in Chinese. As for 9... I've never heard of it as a bad number.

Oh wait. Rodimus is MP-09. His arm broke. :BANG_HEAD:

MP-14 through 19 Devastator, I know it would never happen…but one can wish!
A Galvatron or Cyclonus would rock!

I would assume if it were SoundBlaster it would be titled MP-13B......hmmmm let's see so we went two Autobots MP-09 Rodimus....MP-10 Optimus...... two Decepticons MP-11 Starscream MP-11S Sunstorm........two Autobots MP-12 Sideswipe MP12A-Red Alert.....MP-13 Soundwave.......so this next one says that it would be a Decepticon :BOWDOWN:

MP-13A SoundBlaster....but somehow I don't think so, maybe............I would like to see GALVATRON!!!!!!!!!!! :KREMZEEK:

That's quite a generalization.

Asia is the biggest continent (if you go by geology, Europe is merely a large peninsula of it) with a great many cultures. What's lucky or unlucky in one culture may not be in another. For example, in Vietnam, the number 9 is considered lucky.
