Strange i've always liked the outcast characters like Buzzsaw and Reflector.
Fingers crossed the next MP will be Reflector or Shockwave (w/Ratbat)

The addition of the minions is a cool concept, but it's been done before. I think giving them all new bodies and transformations would spice up interest and bring in more business. At it's current state, given the price, it's not worth the commitment in my humble opinion. Why can't it be a Masterpiece sized version of Soundwave in an alternate mode that resembles a satelitte? That was fresh and drove the market in a new direction!

IIRC, the Masterpiece line was started as an homage to the G1 designs, as sort of a commemorative line. The idea is to update on the original G1 toys with today's toy-making technology.

A masterpiece Reflector would be a great piece, unfortunately the character is not popular enough for the masterpiece treatment. I wonder if it would actually sell.

Yep and that's the reality of it Hasbro haven't really ever cared for the character would TakaraTomy think the same (i doubt it). The expenditure alone is too high 3 big figures all with different workings (ok two would be the same just reversed).
But hey i can hope!

It seems to have quietly faded away, there hasn't been any news since it's last redesign was shown.

And it is true that nobody was really expecting Sideswipe, so that does throw a door open to unexpected characters. That said, I think Takara will likely focus on a few more cars to fill out the Sideswipe-scale figures. Back to topic, December, get here, Soundwave, get onto my shelf.

Are you thinking of Perceptor? Reflector is a camara.
