As much as I want a mp soundwave that silhouette just feels like shockwave to me.

Lambor looks good and I'm still happy with it as the next mp figure

Looking at his back, if you spun the car roof around, swapped the arms, turned the head around, you'd get MP Classic Sunstreaker.

After that, it is clearly a repaint. I can see the 'bumpy shoulder' being the arm canon.

It's one of Sideswipe's repaints like Red Alert or perhaps a retool into Sunstreaker (if they are cheap enough but most likely Red Alert or another repaint character such as Tiger Tracks.).

I agree with Tober. Sideswipe's bot mode doesn't look as impressive as I'd hoped for. The Lamborghini bonnet looks oversized as his chest and his shins look too bulky.
Size-wise I'm not sure if I should be glad that he is smaller and hence in scale with Optimus, Rodimus and Grimlock or whether I should be disappointed that he looks like he'll only be as big as a Binaltech.
The only thing that will really excite me from the masterpiece line now is if they make either Shockwave, Galvatron or Megatron. And even then i'll only be happy if they're sized the same as MP-10.

Might get the Lambor Twins, if only because getting a Henkei Streak and a Classics Sideswipe will probably work out about the same price these days.
Hope they're not too costly.

Am I one of the few to notice that these shots of MP-12 are merely production renders and what that means?
Rest easy people, there is plenty of time for revisions & tweaks as I'd be extremely surprised if what we are seeing here are indicative of the final completed product.

That silhouette doesn't have Sunstreaker's head, and the flaring at the bottom of the legs doesn't match a Lambor repaint...

Still looks most like Soundwave to me...

Dare we hope for Ironhide/Ratchet... but doesn't seem bulky enough.

The head looks to square for Ironhide or Ratchet.

Whoever it is they have a big chest, I must admit I do see a bit of Soundwave in the newer picture, but the repaint theory has merit too.

Not getting my hopes up either way.

Saw the asking pre-order price of $150 for MP-Sideswipe. I was about to hit the pre-order button right away but then after realizing the size - sheesh that is steep. Though the order says that the price may change, perhaps by like $15 but that's still steep. I wouldn't be surprised if they did like a MP-Sideswipe Version 2 that fixed all the problems with the 1st ala MP-Rodimus
