    Closer to Classics/Alternity 1/32.

    Which brings us to where we are today...

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
