And I love the little raging bull badge.so cool!
I'm getting this just to leave in alt mode.
When I think about the current prices for a Henkei Streak and a Classics Sideswipe...
You win this round TakaraTomy.
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.
