I kinda hoped that this would use the Road Rage version of the mold if only so we could get a Deceptifemme in the MP line.

Still, that black paintjob looks GORGEOUS.

pretty cool.

actually I really like what they are doing here. I know its another character but it makes me want to have him stand in as Needlenose.

Incidentally, God Ginrai uses a westernized "goddo" (ゴッ) in his name because it's meant to be a play on Gojira (a.k.a. Godzilla) if you remove the correct syllables (Go* Gi*ra*).

What you may not know about Japanese is that kanji can have multiple readings, depending on factors like how the character is used, if it's standalone or in a compound. The kanji for "god" has two: kami standalone, or shin/jin in compounds. Needless to say, there are a lot of homophones in Japanese.

Ok, enough about that, back to Loud Pedal. Pretty surprised it uses the mouth plate of the original toy, but not so much at the body: 25 is the Tracks body after all, while 26 is the Road Rage type.

I was also thinking about the Needlenose connection.

I thought Needlenose was a grey jet? Or am I missing something?

I actually kinda think this guy looks better than Tracks...

In the comics, Tracks and Needlenose are brothers, and the Loudpedal head is very Needlenose-like. So the jump is just a minor stretch of the imagination, fully understanding the alt mode and colors aren't quite there.

*puts a fist on the open palm of her hand, Japan-style*

It's because of the head, isn't it? Both have a knight helmet look to them.

Just for clarify, this brotherhood between the two is specifically in the IDW comics, rather than all of them.

Hasbro did release legends size Prime "hyperspeed" Wheeljack in an homage to the Marlboor deco (to absolutely no ire of Phillip Morris, somehow).

Hyperspeed Wheeljack's red design didn't resemble Marlboro's red chevron. And it's altmode wasn't an exact match for the real world racecar that promoted Marlboro.

Ugh. Yeah. Definitely going to get this guy.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That actually seems pretty reasonable for him, considering he was an exclusive

But I think the implication was that it was based on the alternate paint scheme. I mean, I think it's more of a stretch to say they weren't homaging a diaclone than saying they were....

I re-read your comment and see what you were referring to so never mind

I'm not much on the Diaclone versions of MP, but I'm really digging this one. I will be finding a place in my collection for this one........

I've got the MC Blue Blaster, I was lucky enough to get one that has the radio cassette... but I've never put batteries in there to see if it works. I'll shoot you a heads up when I shoot a video of it.

Nothing new really.

Thanks to a new Ebay listing we have images for the box of the upcoming MP-25L Loudpedal. The box shown off here is in black and white, but it does show us the general standard layout for the Masterpiece boxes with the artwork for Loudpedal. Check out the images below and let us know what you think in the comments section. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries.

Hot. Very much like Tigertrack.

That's great! What time does the boat leave the dock?

It's gettin late, but there's still excitement in the Transformers world tonight. Earlier we reported on the first shots of TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-25L Loudpedal In Box images, and now he's been ripped out of that box! Have a look at him below in all his Diaclone/Lucky Draw inspired goodness below, and with a nice comparison to his fellow MP Stingrays. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

I wasn't that interested in Tracks or Road Rage, but I really want Loudpedal.

If Road Rage gets Prince's Little Red Corvette as her theme song,
Then Loudpedal gets this ...



Put the pedal to the metal and burn rubber on me!
