    I guess I'll add to the fire and agrees that the price is a bit ridiculous. I'll wait for the inevitable "sale"

    Cheers man, there are a few things that could be better tho but if this ends up being stupidly priced I need me an Alt Sideswipe head pronto!

    Breakdown looks excellent, hopefully we'll hear about the U.S. release soon. As for MP Sideswipe, it's a neat idea but one I can skip. MP-13 is an instant buy if it's Soundwave or (less likely) Shockwave.

    I don't need an MP Spychanger, so I'll skip Sideswipe. But Breakdown is awesome.

    MP-12 Sideswipe being in scale with MP-10 Convoy is a very good sign. Now I'm debating whether or not to sell off my Henkei Sideswipe. As for MP-13, yeah, it's anyone's guess -- Soundwave, Sunstreaker, Shockwave? Who knows; without any accessories or weapons to better define the silhouette, we just won't know. I do hope whoever he is that it means we see Takara working more toward injecting better and better scale for a solidified MP line.

    Takara Breakdown and Knockout are looking great, as is Starscream. Will have to see them in person when I go revisit Japan before I decide to pick them up. Already have the Hasbro versions of KO and SS. Breakdown looks pretty boss and his micron may be worth picking up.

    Put in an order for AM Breakdown now that we've gotten some pictures and there's still no word about a Hasbro release. The Minicon looks neat, too.

    MP13's outline is a bit too vague for me to hazard a guess as to what it is, but I'm not too worked up about it anyway, as I'm not spending money to import it and a Hasbro release is likely a couple of years off.

    breakdown looks awesome. AM Knockout would be great except for that tumorous "engine block"/ micron port on his hood.

    Wait. Teasers don't include iconic weapons or accessories? If that's the case it looks like Soundwave but left shoulder throws that silhouette completely off.

    Did someone catalog the MP teaser pics?

    Logically one would wonder if they aren't going to assume a new numbering pattern based on what we've gotten thus far.

    MP-10: Autobot
    MP-11: Decepticon
    MP-12: Autobot
    MP-13 . . . ?

    I would bet it's Soundwave or Shockwave if the progression holds true. Or, how about something out of left field . . . a Tank Megatron?

    Sideswipe getting a masterpiece figure? Did anyone really ask for this?

    What... the... f...

    Interesting how they're gonna justify that. Starscream is bigger and comes with a crapload of accessories, but this guy? Does he include a Sunstreaker?

    mp12 looks surprisingly dull. All straight lines and boxes. Yawn.

    Breakdown looks awesome!
    Knock Out looks great too until you get to the hood and OH GOSH THOSE BUTT-UGLY MICRON PORTS.

    Breakdown looks awesome!! :thumb 

    Knockout's paint job looks much better in the Takara version. May consider getting this over the Hasbro version.

    Breakdowns Micron looks so good. Shame the US's version will have a giant, glowing hammer.

    Seeing Sideswipe's size makes me think not worth it.
