    I like the sound of that. Glow in the dark translucent digital camouflage would suit me fine! Then I would just need an MP Icestorm to round out my big 9.

    MP-11 Starscream, Soundwave and Sideswipe are still higher priority for me as far as U.S. releases go. I still have my doubts about whether this is real info though. Wait and see.

    igear can make her out of the more feminine mp-3 mold,that i might buy from them, but the mp-11 mold does away with the feminine hips, legs, and stomach area

    As neat as Acid Storm is... that's is questionable saleswise... I mean outside Starscream... the Seeker redecos seem to wind up as hard sales for stores after the initial collector's rush.

    MP Soundwave being released by Hasbro is great news though. More accessible price range... similar paint apps... also probably a half year or so away... so yea... might be able to snag him.

    I'm glad to hear Soundwave has a chance for a Hasbro release, it would be far more affordable, and it could mean that the cassettes also are released as well!

    I'm thrilled to hear about Acid Storm! A massive bright green jet?! Sign me up please! :D

    Feminine≠Female. She needs a proper female mold if and when she ever hits the MP line.

    It would be like if Strika was repainted from a bulky male truckformer. They deserve better IMO.

    Lately, I've been sorta bored and sick of collecting Transformers.

    But these and the recently revealed FOC Springer and Astrotrain have peaked my interest.

    pass on any seekers. i'm guessing soundwave will include the cassettes or come with one that hasn't been announced yet like ratbat.

    US or Australia, who cares - shipping is the same to Europe. What I care about is that Soundwave will cost probably 70-80$, and not 200$ like the Japanese one.
    Makes you wonder how much Takara is cashing in on the same toys...

    I wonder if Acid Storm will have the same "camo" paint as the Classics toy, or will he be G1-toon-accurate?

    If Soundwave comes with 3-4 cassettes, I'm betting $100. Look at the price of TC. That equals the price of SW. Then the cassettes equal the price of Prime's trailer.

    That's awesome... Why aren't we getting a release of Starscream before the obscure characters like Acidstorm.

    Good things come to those who wait. A $70-$100 Soundwave sounds splendid! Acidstorm sounds like a possible grab....

    Lol, I'm probably the only person on here that was really liking the idea of Acidstorm being in the MP line and out of nowhere here he is and, now I'm excited (in a WTF?! kind of way)!

    What they need to do is stick Sunstorm in with these two as TRU exclusive, because I'm not trying to pay $180. for that guy.

    Then I say fuck the cassettes. Release SW just by himself w/Lazerbeak at the same price point as TC. And then sell the rest of the cassettes later on packaged together in nice box too.

    Not everyone can, or wants, to pay $100 a pop for Hasbro MPs. That'd be an awesome way of killing the line.

    LOL, totally not a good example dude. Considering a lot of people never even saw one. And that it was Optimus. But hey, want a $100 Acid Storm? Be my guest :lol

    It'll probably be only $70, fwiw.
