    We knew this? When did we know that MP 14 was going to be Red Alert?

    Well we didn't know Laserbeak was included until now, but I thought it was already announced that MP-12A was going to be Red Alert?

    At least, I hope so!

    Well see that's the thing. I think most of us were under the impression that Red Alert was going to be released as MP12A as a repaint of Sideswipe. But now it looks like he has been announced as the next actual MP release as MP14, much like how Skywarp and Thundercracker were both MP06 and MP07. Lame. I was hoping for an entirely new mold for MP14.

    I think a lot of us were hyped at the news of hearing an announcement of MP14 coz we were anticipating a new mold. But at the same time, I'm not surprised.

    I thought that Red Alert would be MP-12A and that MP-14 would be a completely new mould, hence the hype around it the last few days. However that Facebook post says that Red Alert is MP-14.

    15800 Yen, with just one cassette?
    MP10 was only 30000 yen-odd more than that.

    Unless Soundwave is packing some amazing gimmicks I'm gonna have to pass on him at that price.

    TakTom releases one cassette with MP Soundwave. Third party comp will release like 20. The former should have at least announced plans to release all cassettes to try to put off the latter from making unofficial releases.

    Yeh I think most of us were thinking that. I seriously hope that's not the case
