Beast wars:
No Takara, stop it right now. WTF do you think you're doing?
You paint all the Beast mode parts in metallic paint, while the robot parts are kept in mate unpainted plastic? The f**k?
Hasbro for me on those.

Though, the placements of the metallic paint on these two is inverse to what I was hoping for: Metallic green for both instead of the non-metallic green and the organic parts being metallic. Maybe I could get the Hasbro Waspinator and Frankenstein it with the Takara one to give the Takara one the Hasbro's yellow parts instead of gold, as well as the dark bug legs of the Hasbro version. But there's no fixing Rhinox since, even though it's not metallic, Takara Rhinox's green is more show-accurate than Hasbro Rhinox's green.

Sideswipe's face remold/snarl is magnificent!
Speaking of this, and his other remolded parts, shouldn't he technically be his own MP number?
Red Alert got the lightbar and a new face plate, and gets a new MP number. G2 Sideswipe has brand new guns, what appears to be a new face, and spiked shoulder tires. As a figure with distinct features (i.e. he's not a straight repaint), MP-12G seems a tad disrespectful.
And you never want to be disrespectful to a bot with big guns

But why does he have to come with Soundblaster? I really don't want to have to buy the same unchanged mold again (yeah, I see the tape door protrudes a little bit on this one, but Soundwave can already hold three cassettes so this really doesn't change much).
Hasbro, gave us a Ratbat two pack. Or pack him with a Masterpiece Starscream from the MP-11 mold. I'd buy that (they were briefly together during the Undercase Saga).

Wasn't there supposed to be an official Barrage ? The same small size as Chopshop as a legends gun ?

Takara, if you want a metallic beast mode, wait for a figure that turns into a beetle.

Have we seen in-hand images of both, or is this based purely on the "official" (photoshopped) images?

The only other insect one is Waspinator. *EDIT* We're also getting Shrapnel, with Reflector as the gun.

Honestly, I don't care if he's got his own number, I'm just happy we're getting him. I'm quite pleased I didn't pick up any of the earlier Lambo molds, it makes getting this guy a total no-brainer. XD

I want Soundblaster and Sideswipe, but the two Beast Wars figures look pretty awful with all the metallic paint. Who asked for Waspinator in his Transmetal colors!? Hasbro all the way on those two.

I'm super psyched about Sideswipe as well (not to mention Soundblaster), but I would like to know what logic there is to the numbering.
I guess since the should spike tires are removable, and he doesn't have the lightbar/shoulder remolds Red Alert has?
Whatever. Can't wait for him to get here.

Mp-g2 Sideswipe getting his own mp number doesn't even sound rite. Amongst all of this great toy news going around and you are focused on a repaint getting their own mp number. And how is he going to get his own mp number when mp20 and mp 21 have already been announced.
