When I think about the current prices for a Henkei Streak and a Classics Sideswipe...
You win this round TakaraTomy.

I'm getting this just to leave in alt mode.

Erm... why don't you just get a regular Lamborghini Countach toy or model kit if you're just gonna leave it in alt mode? T'would be cheaper/easier.

What's the scale on this? Looks roughly Alternator sized from what I've seen.

Alternators don't fit in MP-10. Here's a quick comparison i did with Alternity Starscream, G1 Sideswipe & Henkei Sunstreaker.



Almost the same size as Alternity Starscream then and thus probably 1/32 if anything.

Closer to Classics/Alternity 1/32.

Wow! Much smaller than expected!

It may as well be Alternity than Masterpiece!

I can't wait for the day where the new MP size is Legends class!

This is now officially over-priced.

Because then it wouldn't be Sideswipe I think this is potential work desk material and get Red Alert for home.

Beautiful! Love it! Yeah, he's small. But I'm really digging this new direction the MP line has gone.

This is my TF Classics line!

Hmm.. so it really is not much bigger than Classics scale.

However, besides the size, this is exactly what I want from a figure. One that looks exactly like G1 Sideswipe but merged with the cartoon Sideswipe and with better articulation.

I was more than happy with Classics Sideswipe before, but MP Swipe just looks so much better! The extra engineering will justify the increased price to me - and I'm sure when Hasbro release it it will be much cheaper. The Takara version is about $80, so I'm guessing about $50 in the US, loosely based on MP-10 (wasn't that about $250, whereas Hasbro's is expected to be about $100?).

Anyway, if they are using this smaller size, but with this awesome looking accuracy & engineering, then I hope they can release a figure every 2 months or so.

It better come with some diecast.

Thanks for that Kurdt.

Still very keen on this, mainly because I'm a sucker for lamborghinis.

Not sure I'm a massive fan of the shade of red - it's a bit orangey especially compared to the G1 version.

EDIT: Although the pictures you posted in post 24 are a nicer shade of red.

as everyones said, it's just way to small.. i don't care if it fits in mp-10's trailer or not.. (i'm not playing Knight Rider)
still if its around 60 or 70. i might still buy it, or wait for a Hasbro version and get it on sale at TRU. (if mp hotrod is anything to go by) should come in at the $15 - $20 mark
