Color Images of MP-12 Lambor / Sideswipe

WHOA!! ....................that is such an easy pass for me.

I'll wait for Sunstreaker

I'm not sure how I feel about this toy joining the ranks of "Masterpiece" Transformers. It does, however, feel like the perfect Transformers toy in a Transformers Classics line, similar to Mattel's Masters of the Universe Classics line. Give me one of these a month and I'd be one happy camper.

To each his own, but I love this figure. Not only is this Sideswipe, but it's Sideswipe the way I wished he was when I was a kid. The Lamborghini Countach was and is my favorite Supercar from the 80's, and Red was the color to have.

I have had Sideswipe and Red Alert MP's on pre-order since they were available. I still have my original G1's, and these are going to look sweet with them together.

Now don't get me wrong...If and when the make MP Sunstreaker, I will get him as well. This is an awesome TF fan year.

I don't know, i think it depends on the intricacy of the transformation. That's always how i looked at a MP figure. Accurate modes in both forms, to their original counterparts that is. Classics to me, are updates to those looks. Different, but having some obvious nods and such. I just hope he comes with some good accessories, such as a jetpack. Sideswipe NEEDS a jetpack

Looking closer though..his face looks derpy as hell LOL

Do something to fix those hollow, open lower legs & then i'll think about parting with my money. Good start though.

if it depends on the intricacy of transformation.. then MP01 wouldn't be a masterpiece figure at all.

this is what masterpiece is.. G1 cartoon accurate alt mode - G1 accurate robot mode. .. this figure accomplishes both.

my first thought when i saw this was "how can hasbro eF this up".. hasbro should give us this, exactly the way it is here and price it at $40.. it's easy, it makes sense, people want it.

and i agree, release one of the "deluxe" masterpiece figures once a month. .. or one every 2 months. whatever. just please get them here. while i absolutely love it, it's not in the ranks of prime, hot rod, megatron, the seekers, or grimlock which all made me run for takara's release. i guess we'll see.

you do understand that sunstreaker won't be made using this mold.. right?

Looks good, except for the hollow pieces on the bottom of the legs, also the wheels look hollow? It does seem a little more down market; based on first glance it seems to be less intricate than the alternators version and the previous larger batch of masterpieces.

Wow ...Just wow! The first masterpiece figure i'd concidering getting. Fantastic!
