    Soundwave is welcome. not sure how much I want Acid Storm, but I see that name and think those who reacted to Thundercracker's shelfwarming-ness ain't seen nothin' yet! :) 

    If these come out close to the same time, like Optimus & Thundercracker did last year, I'm betting on a repeat situation, with Soundwave being the "good-effin' luck finding it" one, and Acid Storm being the "want one? want twelve? NO PROBLEM!" one.

    Acid Storm is such an obscure character that it makes it appealing to get. I would like to see a backstory to this guy.

    I'll pass on Acid Storm I think. Same reason as I'm passing on Tigertrack - not an original G1 cast member.

    (but for some reason I bit on Sunstorm... go figure...)

    Wow, Acid Storm? I can't wait. I love having a bigger Decepticon army than Autobots. I'm curious what the deco will be on him.

    That was quick for Soundwave! And Acid Storm? I'm in! I can't wait for these. Then hopefully we get all the cars Takara is putting out as well.

    I tend to prefer the look of TT releases over Hasbro, but I'd be willing to go Hasbro on obscure characters. Only if it comes to TRU Canada though, I'll keep my eyes open.

    Does sound like Hasbro isn't interested in redoing the MP Seekers. Not sure if this is a good thing or not...

    Dang. It's looking less and less likely that we'll see the new MP mold used for Starscream. Ah well, cool for all the Acid Storm fans :)

    acid storm will have to have a really nice deco for me to want it. my original mp-3 serves the acid storm slot rather nicely.

    though I am a sucker for the mp-11 mold. I think that mold can hold any paintjob and still look good. I'd probably even buy a am thundercracker deco of it :lol 

    so we'll see how it goes. hopefully they do something unique for it.

    Been searching for an Igear Acid Storm since it was released.

    The quest ends with this news.

    Hopefully some dirt on Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet will be coming in the future.

    Never enough Masterpiece seekers for the collection.

    This is probably the worst news for the line. Acid Storm will not sell well except to the most dedicated collector and the line will be considered a flop.
