    Did anyone get to confirm whether Acid Storm is MP01?

    I am loving the new masterpiece boxes. Acid Storm and Soundwave will be bought on sight due to the boxes alone. The old tough plastic ones really annoy me :(

    Since I never got Grimmy, that Platinum edition looks to be the way to go.

    Same here, I hope Hasbro does away with the damn twisties as well. The Takara ones are so much easier to remove and return.

    I wish the pictures were a bit clearer. Acid Storm's release date looks like 08/13 but I really can't tell.

    Huh. That gold plastic and Soundwave's black faceplate really don't look very good... I was one of the few looking forward to the figure, too.

    I might get it still if it's reasonably priced, but not for the premium this is definitely going to be going for.

    I also can't tell if Acid Storm is MP-01. How silly if it was!

    Platinum set is boring with boring sauce. All this time and still no gray Vortex? The closest to a G1 Vortex is...G2 Vortex! Glad I got an awesome deal on the Takara set because it is clearly the definitive one.

    Acid Storm?

    Why not MP Soundwave?

    I'm sure everyone wants to see that more than Acid Storm.

    Front Page says "Botcon 2013 Dealer Room Pics - MP Acid Storm, Linking Park Soundwave".
    Guessing that's "Linkin".

    Man, when BotCon's happening, errors creep in easily.

    EDIT: fixed, apparently.

    Thanks, whomever fixed that! I want to jump through the screen whenever Tformers does their typical "Micheal" spelling mistake, so I'm always pleased to see TFW2005 pay attention to the details.

    So that's just the SDCC deco on Bruticus then? Cool; glad to see people will be able to get it for a reasonable price a year later, and the SDCC guys get to keep their spiffy awesome packaging as the exclusive feature.

    Me too. Still disappointed that it's not full chrome gold but I'd consider it whenever the price is revealed.

    That Linkin Park Soundwave shouldve been the MP-13 mold. I wouldve bought that in a heartbeat! G1 SW is a pass.
