New Masterpiece MP12

[LordCyrusOmega]

Best news I've had all year. Love Sideswipe so a definate buy.

[Robzy]

This is just brilliant news!! Definitely WILL buy Sideswipe!!

All this news is awesome (Sideswipe, and possibly Soundwave. And Fort Max).

[VGMStudios]

GASP! You mean its not going to be another Convoy or Starscreem variant?!
SHOCKING!
LOL!

Very cool. Looking forward to it and all the other repaints of it!

VGM out...

[VERT]

Never would have guessed. But I love Sideswipe so this is great news

[Deonasis]

Very cool looking! Here is a full body pic -> RobotKingdom | Facebook

Ah looks sweet! Really cool announcement; especially since I wasn't expecting anything for awhile with Sunstorm on the way.

Hoping to see this mould only go as far as a Red Alert... and maybe a Breakdown for loopy (but that would probably leave a lot of Menasor related questions open for fanboy speculation)

Come onnnn $99 pricetag!

I agree with Dirge - there's no way that is going to be retooled into anything decently-resembling Sunstreaker in robot mode, although they might stick a supercharger engine and a new head on it, recolour it yellow and call it Sunstreaker anyway. Although I'd prefer it if they just did a straight yellow recolour and call it Tigertrack or Spin-Out. They generally recolour Masterpieces into the ground, so G2 Sideswipe (fingers crossed for a bandolier accessory) would be awesome. Red Alert is inevitable. Deep Cover and Clampdown would be sound choices. Breakdown is likely. Laster and Deadwheeler would be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Finally my interest in the MP line has been re-ignited after the dissappointments from my point of view of the last few announcements.

[SharkyMcShark]

Possibly similar to the Classics mold in that there are some bits that could be swapped in and out for a Sunstreaker release?

Anyway I was sure we'd get Galvatron next

That's basically what we are saying. I believe that they will make this into Sunstreaker regardless of the original character differences. I would prefer a proper Sunstreaker but I don't think they would produce a whole new mold of basically the same car with a few accessories.

I am still unsure how they will handle licensing. I thought Lamborghini was a little bit sensitive.
