    It's hilarious and yet tragic at the same time.

    I fully agree and think its almost certain they will share the same mechanics with a different shell on top. Whether you take the toy or the cartoon as your starting point they complement each other. You're right about the Cliffy alt mode being super deformed in the cartoon but I suspect we will see a licensed altmode (non deformed) so that they complement Sideswipe and Wheeljack better in alt mode.

    Surprising all round. Interweb rage to follow....

    I thought I saw in the transcript somewhere that someone did ask. The response was that there is more MP news coming at SDCC.

    Not surprising. Hasbro seem to have mostly abandoned Botcon after they couldn't get their way with third party stuff.

    We did get a little information. We learned that Hasbro MP Soundwave (are we going to start calling it Hasbro MP-02?) will come with all the accessories Takara's came with. That's good to know.

    We also learned that Masterpiece Acid Storm looks kind of funky.

    They will...............at..................SDCC :D 

    I mean compare Botcon nerds vs. SDCC nerds. Way more nerds, way more coverage:lol 

    SDCC destroys Botcon in all angles as far as media and amount of people. So we get the big deals there and fan wankers at BotCon.

    It sucks, but I've resigned myself to it, like BotCon being in Cali all the time.............

    I know. I just didn't expect to hear anything beyond Acid Storm and Soundwave. Hasbro has no history of making announcements for the following year at Botcon.

    I'm not sure we're going to hear that much MP news at SDCC, either. But maybe....

    The green eyes are still cool. The digi-camo is just a mess though. Would've looked far better in a plain green colour scheme.

    My problem with Acid Storm is he isn't purple and black enough. :wink: 

    On a related note, do we think Acid Storm and Soundwave will be up for pre-order at TRU starting tomorrow? I keep checking TRU's website just in case its available.

    How much should we expect Hasbro Soundwave to go for?

    I'm fully expecting the same as TRU MP10. And, just like MP10, the price is pretty good value for money- probably even moreso than Prime. All five cassettes included, Megatron gun, cases....instabuy at £100 for me.

    Yeah, I'm guessing it starts at $120 and goes up to $150 eventually...but it could start at $150. I believe people who think this is going to cost $100 are dreaming.

    $120 USD is an amazing price. People that complain that that is too high should be ashamed of themselves.
