Additional MP-12 Lambor, MP-13 Soundwave, & MP-14 Red Alert Images

I can't wait to see color images of Red Alert. The paint jobs of Sideswipe and Soundwave look fantastic, so I expect Red Alert to look great too.

Starting to look real good. Ive been trying to stay away from the MP line. But these are very tempting. Especially Soundwave. And I forsee a Sunstreaker coming too since the twins are never seperated. Plus the Sunstreaker version of the Countach wouldnt require licensing. If we get a red Diaclone repaint of MP Sunstreaker Im buying it.

While I can agree that they might make an MP Sunstreaker, the statement that "the twins are never separated" isn't entirely true.

There's been:

• Action Master Sideswipe, but no Action Master Sunstreaker
• G2 Sideswipe, but no G2 Sunstreaker
• G2 Go-Bot Sideswipe, but no G2 Go-Bots Sunstreaker
• Collector's Edition Lambor, but no Collector's Edition Sunstreaker
• TF: Collection Lambor, but no TF: Collection Sunstreaker
• Smallest Transformers Lambor, but no Smallest Transformers Sunstreaker
• Commemorative Series Side Swipe, but no Commemorative Series Sunstreaker
• BotCon 2010 Timelines Sideswipe, but no BotCon 2010 Sunsteaker

Sideswipe's simply had more toys released than Sunstreaker.

If we discount the fact G1 Sunstreaker mold is lot or broken, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker only missed eachother on 5 occasions, with G2 Sunstreaker stranded in planning as a repaint of G1 Sideswipe.

The thing I wonder about MP soundwave is will he come with all the cassettes, just Laserbeak and the other's will be in a set, Or MP soundwave and MP soundblaster will have their own sets of cassettes, if they do MP soundblaster

I am really digging Red Alert, but it will be instant buy if he has a working siren with sound / lights.

Sideswipe's alt mode is a thing of beauty! Can't wait.

I hope so too.

Just curious, why wouldn't Takara need to require licensing?

I think because Sunstreaker isn't a true Countach LP 500S, but a customised one with an exposed engine and larger spoiler.

I never knew that. Interesting. Does that affect licensing? If Takara wanted to put the Lamborghini symbol on it, they would still need licensing I believe.

i suspect.. if we get red alert in the US.. he'll most likely have a black bucket, rather than the toon accurate red head (like i'm certain the takara version will have)

that totally sucks. now i'm going to have to go ahead and pick up the takara versions. it's a shame. clearly these figures are meant to be toon accurate not G1 toy accurate. it's amusing.. takara came up with these toys and what not.. and hasbro creates the cartoon.. yet with the MP's takara gives them the US toon accurate schemes, and hasbro mucks everything up and goes for G1 toy accuracy. i'm getting sick of it. why can't we just get the exact same damn thing?

i mean.. hell, even hasbro's MP10 is a little different than takaras. i've preferred every single takara release over the hasbro versions. especially when it comes to both primes, hot rod, and grimlock. it really makes me angry. i just don't understand it.. are they changing it a little in hopes that people who buy the takara versions are going to want to get theirs too? .. or do they change shit just to change it? i suspect they want takara customers to purchase their inferior looking versions.

it'd be nice if they'd just get their heads out of their asses and release the same damn thing at the same damn time.

oh well, rant over. sorry.
