That face is what does it for me. It's priceless!

I bought an extra Tigertrack to solve a problem with my original one and I've got an extra G2 Lambor. I might do a face swap so that everyone can see what he looks like that way (plus use the G1 Autobot logos instead).

I'll post pics when my extra Tigertrack arrives!

And yet the odds of this ever being released here are just about zero. If not because of Hasbro not wanting to go through all the paperwork, then because they just don't give a crap about this somewhat obscure reference.

I'm really on the edge of buying this, but I've never payed import costs on an MP before and I'm really hesitant to do it.

Where are you located? Here in the states?

That's the whole point of this figure. G2 Sideswipe looked that crazy in the comic, and this is as crazily accurate as you can get to that source material. The face is iconic, for this release.

Nice photos as always! As I was going through them I was thinking "he should throw YOTH Optimus in here".....I'm loving him in hand. Is it me, or could 12G be blacker, like he seems to appear in the box art?

I felt the same. So I did this:

Heading for a quiet weekend of relax, or just have some time to kill? Check out Seibertron.com's latest Masterpiece figure gallery: Takara Tomy MP-14 Red Alert! Sharing the same mold as MP-12 Lambor (Sideswipe), MP-12G G-2 Lambor and MP-12T Tigertrack, Red Alert sports the appropriate white and red deco, shoulder cannon, gun, a slightly new head mold and includes blue plastic spark attachments for the head's antennas, to recreate scenes from the G1 episode Auto Berserk - as well as transforming into the officially licensed Lamborghini Countach model. As usual, click on any of the images below for the full gallery!

...Yes.

We recently uploaded a whole bunch of Soundwave galleries from Transformers: Animated and Generations, but are you ready for the main dish? Take a look below at the official Seibertron.com galleries for the Hasbro release of the Transformers Masterpiece MP-02 Soundwave, featuring a yellow visor (as opposed to the Takara red version), a boombox alternate mode and including a Megatron gun and energon chest cube accessory, and all the cassette minions friends: Laserbeak, Rumble, Ravage, Frenzy and Buzzsaw. As usual, click on any of the images for the full gallery.

Transformers Masterpiece Frenzy




Transformers Masterpiece Laserbeak




Transformers Masterpiece Buzzsaw




Transformers Masterpiece Ravage

The Hasbro version of Masterpiece Soundwave looks to kind and cuddly. However, the Takara Soundwave looks evil and menacing.

red visor makes soundblaster look much cooler, gona get the Takara version
