Hasbro Masterpiece Acid Storm mid-2013

I think camo could look good as silly as it is. I hope they don't give it a gradient though, because I think that looks tacky on the current MP Sunstorm.

Exactly my thoughts dude, something akin (Or a little better) to the Classicsverse figure would be sweet IMO.

They may as well get as much as they can from the mold. As you can see, many like this, yet some don't. All collectors are different.

That's iGear's not-"Acid Storm". You can tell because it's the old seeker mould, but with the leg mod already done.

Further source: old TFW2005 posting.

Comparing their not-Starscream and not-Thundercracker to the MP-11 counterparts, the official Acid Storm would probably have better colours.

I wonder why the global fan-sites are so negative and sceptical. Do they get a lot of people posting up fake news?
Or are they just oblivious of anything outside of their sphere of influence...

You'd think that if they took 30 seconds to look at the source of the info (about Acid Storm and Soundwave), they'd see that it is from a well established source of reliable info (here and on TFW2005). Instead, Seibertron has posted it up as a "rumour" and to "take it with a grain of salt", while TFW has quite a few people disputing it as legitimate just because we've had three Japanese Masterpiece toys here, or because they can't believe it is possible that a non-American has obtained the info first.

I rarely post there, but do it to make sure that the fans themselves get the correct info from the beginning... instead of having to fix it up later, being lost hundreds of posts later.

@waxpython - well.... they've yet to do the conehead seekers!

but at least they're doing it with autobots too now, sideswipe, red alert, tigertrack, sunstreaker? and then prowl, smokescreen and bluestreak

and the reason why? a new guy took over the MP designing role and decided he wanted to enforce scale a better design and accessories which made the toy more of a "Masterpiece"

which was why MP-10 had roller included and then spike but unfortunately Huffer couldn't be budgeted in.

MP-11 got the coronation set

MP-12 got shoulder missile, piledrivers

MP-13 storage for 3 cassettes and eject function, energon cube, display panel on the chest and hand scanner.

MP-14 head sparks

so yeah, I have MP-03 & 04 and am of the opinion that MP-10 & 11 are better than their originals.

but yes, the amount of money poured into collecting this line is pretty steep. but no, they don't expect you to buy each and every seeker but they probably want you to.
