I don't think I have ever more been more impressed with Laserbeak or Rumble as toys. Soundwave looks fantastic as well. Ravage, man he seems to be difficult to get, "just right". I like what I see so far though. I gladly made a preorder this morning. Kabaya Fort Max is tempting me as well.

I'm sure with Ravage posed properly, he'll look really cool. Soundwave is easily going to be one of the best masterpieces to date.

Is it just me or does the Jet Vehicon look like a flying car? I was actually hoping for a sweet jet mode, due to the car vehicon being pretty decent.

I love the fact that it looks like a car (pretty much does in the show too). Makes me think a bit of 'The Fifth Element'. I need it in my collection.

Also, I'm loving the MP line more with every new reveal.

Argh, Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime/whatever. I want it, but will never afford it.
MP Soundwave gets better and better. Seriously impressed with everything about him. I didn't expect the Energon cube to attach to his chest, that's pretty awesome. The minions are looking really great too. Maybe Ravage less so, but he could be posed better.
Jet Vehicon has a bit too much purple, but I still want it. I really hope Hasbro makes all these Japanese reveals happen here also.
Terrorcon Bumblebee, eh... I wish that was an indication that they're killing him off on the show, but alas I'm sure they'd never do that. :p

I can't tell if you guys are joking around, and I say this as an old dude but...you do know that back in the day tape decks were also radios right? A lot of the time anyway.

True, but Soundwave isn't a tapedeck either. He is (and always was) a microcassette recorder, so technically he shouldn't have any AM/FM (or MP3) capabilities (unless of course they made him into a modern voice recorder which uses no cassettes and instead records digitally).
Anyway, it amazes me at just how much Has/Tak appear to be actually LISTENING to the fans these days.
The Club seems to be getting their act together, and is offering some sweet figures as their exclusives from what I've seen so far (must have BIG BLUE CONVOY!!!) and now these MP's that are just soooooo perfectly G1 (starting with MP10 and now these). It's an awesome time to be a Transformers collector. I was getting worried when my passion for Prime was dying down and feared there'd be nothing more that I wanted to collect, then Takara pulls the rabbit (Soundwave) out of their hat and I'm hooked again.
If things keep going this way, Takara is going to be getting a lot of my money over the next few years and I'm going to have quite an MP collection.
I want that clear purple Bumblebee to go with my clear purple Cliffjumper too, so I hope BBTS carries him (I am such a sucker for clear purple plastic).

FUCK YES! G1 compatability! Hopefully the tapes can fit inside G1 SW too (in all likelyhood they will).
Loving the tapes. Ravage shows potential (it doesn't look transformed right and it's only a prototype). It's a shame those Energon cubes are an Amazon exclucive. I mean, I wouldn't pose him making cubes, but even so.

Awww yeah I'm so glad I chose not to get Hasbro's RID Megatron. This one looks so awesome in every way! Vehicon's alt mode is not bad but his bot mode looks perfect anyone's army. It would be cool if some 3rd (I'm thinking Dr. Wu) would come out with a new head for this new Terrorcon and not just another BB.

Although it's an awesome deco, using it as a zombie version of Bumblebee seems really strange.

Wow, Soundwave looks like he's everything most of us have ever asked for. And I'm calling it now: SDCC'13 Exclusive Masterpiece Soundwave. The timing would be right and Hasbro knows, just like the SDCC'11 Grimlock, this release will bring in the fans in hordes.

No, that's Takara trolling those who saw the Soundwave shadow and believed it was Shockwave, because it looked "nothing" like Soundwave.
Not just that, he is now 1000 times larger than Optimus Prime!

It happened at the beginning of the MP13 presentation, since nobody was supposed to know which character it was. They showed an image of Shockwave and then showed Soundwave next. It was a gag by the TT staff, according to these people. So it's not a Photoshop job. The image is still at http://twitpic.com/9x0s5x (Snakas twitter)
It could be Takara being like "hey, let's give them a hint about the next MP" or "let's make this funny and show them something we'll never do".
Somebody at the above forum said that when it happened, the crowd was like "ok, ok... we already know it's Soundwave" and moved on. It was clearly a joke, but you never know.
Also the TT staff mentioned again that they want to do combiners. But we already knew that.

I liked the video. I also like his revolver chest action for the three tapes.
They also mentioned that there is some type of mechanism so that Laserbeak can stay perched on his arm or shoulder, that's pretty cool too.
Note: just checked it again, when you look at the picture with Lazerbeak on his shoulder, you can see that he has a plastic piece on the outside of his left wrist on which you can hook Laserbeaks claws, and his shoulders work in a similar way. Laserbeaks' claws can hook into the shoulder so he won't fall off.

Oh sweet, Fort Max's parts ARE NOT blind packed, they state on the package which one is which. This means that for anyone who preordered a case (like me), they will more than likely get one full set.
I'm curious though, with each box being the same size, it now really makes no sense for a case of these things to contain five units, as preorders have stated, I'm hoping this is an error, and they will have two full sets a case... I wanna repaint one either into Grand Max, or Brave Max.
Soundwave being the size of MP-10 and MP-11 puts him PERFECTLY in scale with all the non-Convoy Version 1 and Megatron Masterpieces, (speaking of which, rescaled MP Megatron, get on it, TakaraTomy) I am indeed looking forward to this Soundwave, and am especially happy with his G1 tape compatibility. Setting aside a little money each payday for this badass.
All in all, this is great news!

So MP Sideswipe is Alternators/Binaltech-sized.
I hope that means his price is adjusted accordingly.

I absolutely love the chest gimmick. A real big huge step up from the Soundblaster chest we've been seeing in all the reissues over the past decade, and totally unnecessary, so it's nice to see it. The original G1 tapes fitting in there is great news, because it means that even if I can't find the cash for MP13, or it sells out and is never reissued (and I could see an early sell-out being very likely, although I'd be surprised if they didn't milk this til demand runs out) at least I'll be able to stick them in the original SW.
The tapes are great. Am particularly impressed that Laserbeak's weapons are part of the tape mode. I suspect they've probably managed the same with Ravage, but can't see Frumble and Renzy's piledrivers being anything other than extra pieces. Not that I'm bothered, those little guys look fan-bloody-tastic. Wasn't sure on Ravage at first, but seeing it in the video, instead of pics, it looks like it'll be fine once painted. Really hope we get Ravage, Frenzy and Rumble, and maybe even Buzzsaw (or a 3rd tape mold, if they're really generous) in a single set of Cassetticons. Will settle for the main 3 (with 'Beak coming with SW of course) for a lower price though.
Oh, and Lambor looks okay. Kinda off my radar now though since I really want SW and his wee gang.
Also, re: the Arms Micron toys, it's nice to see a pic of the Dark Matter Calibur with the other toys. It's a big beast of a sword, innit?

it is.
He's about half the price of Soundwave, IIRC. Maybe $80 in yer fancy pants Merican moneys.

After seeing the video, Soundwave is the only must buy from this year. That thing is amazing. Waist articulation, double jointed elbows so he can push his own eject button, the way the tapes appear inside him, Energon cubes, Laserbeak. This will be the definitive G1 Soundwave, nothing after could be an improvement from what I have seen.

I think im the only one here who thinks the coolest reveals were the fleeting shots of Prime ironhide and thundertron's toys. Also, MP Soundwave? YES.
