MP-12G G2 Sideswipe Exclusive Coin Images

I'm surprised how much the coins have become part of the Masterpiece collecting experience for me. I got one with MP9 but didn't get why I'd want it and just put it aside. But as more were released, at around MP12 I dug out all the others that I'd just tossed in a box and not looked at, and as more came out the coin is now part of what I expect or want to receive, just like the character card, even if the coin isn't a Takara thing. With a couple of figures, I got the coinless-Amazon exclusive then bought the coin separately so I could have the best of both worlds. I didn't realize MP10B had a coin at all since mine didn't come with one. So when I found out I was straight onto ebay to get one.
That said, it's a bit disappointing G2 Sideswipe's is so similar to the regular MP12. G2 wasn't subtle so it'd be nice if the coin was more loud and G2ish. Kind of understandable but still disappointing.

Really liking how the toy is called "G-2" Ver. instead of "G2" Ver.

Even though Japan never got G2 Sideswipe in either form.

That face sculpt is awesome!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Cyberpath, we have some more images of the upcoming G2 styled Masterpiece Sideswipe, featuring new weapons, headsculpt and paintjob - both courtesy of designer Shogo Hasui, who shows how he used the comics for his work! Check them out below.

It still looks so glorious..

Dammit. Caved.
