Before I jump into a consumption frenzy, I'm gonna wait and see what the plastics are. Lets's not Megatron/Rodimus/Skywarp ourselves again.

That is so awesome, the car and robot modes look brilliant and so I want one

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.

I wish you could rotate the backpack though, that would really complete the look.

...And? You don't need to follow a model to make a good toy.

The Lamborghini looks far Superior to the robot i'm gonna save my money for soundwave and his minions.

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

So you want the windshield backpack upside down?

Who? Me or BP?

All the windows look clear to me...

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.

Better illustration of comparative sizes, from http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... tos-9.html

Forget Prime and Generations..

I WANT MORE MASTERPIECE FIGURES!!

i absolutely LOVE that they're scaling these things properly.. and i LOVE the scale they chose.

it's SOOOO exciting that not only are we getting sideswipe and red alert.. but we're getting SOUNDWAVE too.. and all at around the same time!!

And they all look simply awesome. I want Sideswipe badly! Especially if they do a G2 redeco, it'd be perfect!

I shouldn't be surprised at his size, but damn, he's pretty puny by Masterpiece standards.

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

Front view of the car, you can see 'seats' through the window. I'm sure it's not much of an interior like the Alternators, more like the one on Rodimus, but it still looks somewhat like a car interior.
