Pre-Order up for Masterpiece MP-12+ Lambor (Cartoon-accurate Sideswipe)

What a stupid, pointless release from Takara.

I think this is good news for fans that missed out on MP-12 the first time.

I still think it's a great mold, but don't understand why Takara didn't redo his face now. It can't be that expensive? He was handsomer in the cartoon. Maybe if they had at least shaved the soul patch.

I thought the same thing.

I think it's unnecessary, but he does look slightly better (in bot mode anyways). The important thing to take away from this is that the MP+ line is continuing so we might see a anime accurate Wheeljack someday...

OH SNAP, I JUST NOTICED THAT!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I can see where they are coming from with this reissue. As Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are brothers in the cartoon, they probably wanted this "new" Sideswipe to come out at about the same time as Sunstreaker as to improve the selling of it.

They retool faces for the Legends line why not for the even more luxurious MP line?

This guy gets it.


Anyway, here's a picture of them together that someone shot from the catalog..

Make up your mind please! I have a hotline to Takara and will get them to work on your whimsical desire to fabricate a new mastermold to allow for the option to partsform Lambor's chest for "silly" cartoon proportions.

You have the tin can with string phone too?

Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, we have some new stock photos from Takara of their upcoming minor cartoon-accurate redeco of MP-12 Lambor - otherwise known as Sideswipe. Check out the four images of MP-12+ below; showing off a few poses, his vehicle mode and standing with his bro and tell us what you think in the forums!

Already have the Original MP-12, so I will pass. I will be picking up Masterpiece Sunstreaker to put on the shelf next to him though.
