Designer Shogo Hasui has tweeted that Takara will be releasing more information about their upcoming Masterpiece figures MP-12 Lambor/Sideswipe and MP-13 Soundwave at this year's Tokyo Toy Show. The tweet also includes the new teaser image of MP-12 Lambor/Sideswipe mirrored below. Even bigger news, they will also be revealing the identity of MP-14!

The International Tokyo Toy Show takes place June 14th through June 17th, 2012.

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.

Ravage, Eject! Operation, silence the dissident!

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

If only we had a "like" button.

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

The MP news lately has been off the charts! Let's recap:

Hasbro MP-10 complete with trailer

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

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.

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

Sadly there is probably a lot of truth to your list.

Mp-14 is either megatron v2 or ultra Magnus v2 with trailer that turns into his armor

Wow imagine a devy where each robot is the size of a masterpiece that would be amazing

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

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.

Looks like TT has been paying attention to 3rd Parties...nice new teaser pic...of something we've already seen the prototype of.

Putting my money on SW's cassettes for MP-14. Probably have an A and B similar to SS/RA.

I would love to see both. I want megatron mainly for it's pistol mode, and Takara has hinted alot at a MP-10 + Magnus Armour. So I'll love to get a proper Magnus for once too.

Yes I've been hearing about the Magnus armor from a good source and it it happens I think a tear might come to my eye lol. And I want a Meg's v2 so he will be in scale with the rest of the mp. I have mp-05 and he just towers over every one and the arm cannon is to big for his body so he is in need of a remake

MP-14 Cassette army, Megatron v2 or Galvatron.

I would die happy with this.
