Just saw that on another site like 2 secs ago and came back here and saw the thread!

Isn't MP10 quite a bit shorter than MP01? Is he MP Rodimus size?. That would make MP Sideswipe something like Voyager size?

It says that TakaraTOMY will be making an announcement about the newest Masterpiece (MP-13) at Tokyo Toy Show 2012, 16~17/6. The article also confirms that MP Lambor (Sideswipe) will be transforming into a Lamborghini Countach.

I don't really mind that Sideswipe would be smaller, just as long as its reflected in a cheaper price point. But judging from the image he looks to be alot shorter than Prime, and this might make his car mode to small, but hopefully not.

Don't know who MP13 is, but Im not thinking its Soundwave. Great if it was.

Looks a little bulky to be SW and is missing the shoulder cannon. However I can't think of anyone else it could be. Putting the shoulder cannon on him would be a dead give away.

In an interview with the current Engineer of the Masterpiece line (Graciously translated by SydneyY over at TFW2005), Shogo Hasui states that (Moving forward) the MP line of figures will all be in scale with each other as a further focusing of the MP line; Now whether he was referring to the Alt or Bot mode I'm not sure, but given the past 2 instances (MP9 & MP10) I'd say he's leaning towards Bot mode myself.

Oh, and I don't see that silhouette as being Soundwave - Looks more like Hound to me.

This has now got me excited after a lil' break from buying any Transformers at all this year so far. Good. Just means I have more money for these. I think we all knew Soundwave (if it is him) would come eventually, so for me Sideswipe is a unexpected pleasant surprise.

I see Shockwave tbh.
The ears may be a little bit smaller, but you can just tell that the chest is massive.
One of the only TFs whose torso is that big is Shockwave (that I can think of).
Plus, the shoulders are somewhat fitting.

Hate to say it, but...the silhouette there doesn't look that different from Lambor. Could easily be Sunstreaker.
Still, it's not specific enough to really tell.
