PS : On side note, I guess that would make MP-12 the simplest MP so far now instead of Grimlock xD.

That said, I've already pre-ordered him.

IMO he's still more complex than Grimlock.

Yup, a few mistranformations. I'm not seeing the interior you're referencing. Which pic?

I sure hope so. That massive hollow roof would have received complaints even on a deluxe toy.

That's the whole point to the Masterpieces (or, one of them). To be as show-accurate to the cartoon models as humanly possible.BeastProwl wrote:Sabrblade wrote:but G1 Sideswipe's animation model had his windshield where it is on this toy.BeastProwl wrote:I wish you could rotate the backpack though, that would really complete the look.

So you want the windshield backpack upside down?

From comparing images of MP Sideswipe and Red Alert with MP-10 to reality, it looks like they will be just a hair taller than their Classics counterparts in robot mode. It does look like the car mode will be a bit longer and flatter than the Classics version (I don't know how this compares to the relative size and proportions of the Countach to the Diablo).
Edit: Crappy phonecam shot:
compare to
They will be comparable in size to current "Voyagers', perhaps.

Not sure about the Diablo, but according to Wikipedia, the Countach is actually smaller than the Gallardo.

I WANT MORE MASTERPIECE FIGURES!!
i absolutely LOVE that they're scaling these things properly.. and i LOVE the scale they chose.
it's SOOOO exciting that not only are we getting sideswipe and red alert.. but we're getting SOUNDWAVE too.. and all at around the same time!!

And they all look simply awesome. I want Sideswipe badly! Especially if they do a G2 redeco, it'd be perfect!

Front view of the car, you can see 'seats' through the window. I'm sure it's not much of an interior like the Alternators, more like the one on Rodimus, but it still looks somewhat like a car interior.
