    Looks better than both Swipe and Red Alert, IMO. I dunno why, the yellow really works for this mold.

    Yellow will work with pretty much any sports car.

    I sure do hope this means we'll get a Hasbro release of MP Sideswipe after Soundwave and Acid Storm...

    Why? Because of this figure's upcoming release, TakaraTOMY may still have the Lamborghini licencing.

    He was never an eHOBBY exclusive, but a Figure King exclusive.

    The new one might be available on eHOBBY as the Tokyo Toy Show exclusives end up on there.

    I was hoping to see black tiger stripes painted on this instead of a plain yellow lamborghini, but oh well. That was a pipe dream, anyways.

    It might, or it might be that Takara always had the right to release a certain number of Tigertrack figures and that the loss of the license only stops them from producing additional figures after their first run.

    Black tiger stripes on this yellow Lambo will be too ugly in my opinion,pure plain yellow on this car look just good enough.

    TakaraTOMY might, but we don't know if Hasbro is going to pay to license the Lamborghini mold for international release or not, it may simply cost too much.

    Maybe if they sell enough Soundwaves they'll consider it, I personally think they just wanted to fast track the release of Soundwave for this year as well as get another repaint round out of the MP11 seeker mold before releasing any of the licensed car Autobots.

    I suspect the Autobot insignia was made a sticker this time around so that collectors could make him either Transformers-accurate or Diaclone-accurate. Or perhaps Lamborghini didn't like the way Sideswipe's giant symbol looked on his hood, and this is Takara's attempt to placate them. Either way, I'm fine with no hood-symbol. As someone else said, it differentiates him from Sideswipe.

    Ok, so I went through the 52 pages of naked dolls on her Flickr account to no avail, so I sent her an email asking if she had any bot mode pics we could see...this was her response:

    "hi there
    well,it's weekend. so we will do it on Monday.
    But it's the same mode as Mp12.
    Thanks

    Lena"

    Attached to the email were 100 pics of naked dolls...
    I am expecting Chris Hansen to come walking into my cave at any moment now...

    FYI even his G1 Ehobby version is just a repaint of the original Sideswipe mould, hence the same thing done here for MP Tigertrack.
