I really am loving Acid Storm90% I'm going to get him, the colours and patterns they used are AMAZING. Soundwave....... 100% ill be getting him especially that he gets 5 cassettes with him. I'm just kind of upset about the yellow visor, I just prefer red.

It says that they're digital mockups so it could still turn out to be red *fingers crossed for you ILikeSoundwave*
In all honesty I don't mind the yellow visor. I do prefer the cartoon-accurate red though because I like to think of a Masterpiece as the ultimate iteration of the cartoon character, not of the original toy.

Acid storm looks great! Must get.
The green on Acid Storm is really intense! I really like it though
I also wonder whether Rumble and Frenzy will have their guns since they aren't pictured....
Both bought. Acidstorm is great, and another Soundwave is never enough![]()
These are both looking fantastic and are bought on sight. I'm impressed with Acid Storm more than I thought I would be too, and I like the green eyes.
Awesome! All the tapes are there. Although heavily photoshopped, seems like Soundwave will be identical or pretty close to the Tomy release aside from the eyes (which I prefer as yellow).
Acidstorm looks very crap but it could be the photoshop green.
I think the yellow visor is a GREAT idea!It makes the toy more accurate to the original G1 toy, comic book, story books (virtually every G1 medium other than the cartoon!) colours, and also makes it distinct from the TakaraTOMY version in a meaningful way.
This isn't the first time a Hasbro MP has leaned toward toy and/or comic accuracy over TakTOM's show-likeness, others have been:
+ Grimlock -- crown over brain scanner/butler-set
+ Skywarp -- more toy-accurate colours (including yellow eyes (G1 Seekers have yellow (stickered) eyes))
+ Rodimus -- more toy-accurate colours
Is your eye colour preference worth paying up to $200 (at full RRP) extra to get the TakaraTOMY version?You could always repaint the visor yourself if it really bugs you that much.
