Check out official images of the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece Acid Storm set for release by Hasbro later this year. This is a redeco of the Masterpiece Starscream mold, referencing a character in Transformers lore built upon a brief appearance of alternate colored Cybertronian jets known as “the Rainmakers” in the episode of the original G1 cartoon “Divide and Conquer”. Masterpiece Acid Storm will make his first appearance in the US, as of now there is no Japanese version available.

Ha! Just picked up 2 MP Soundwaves from my local Toys R US. Me and the wife got their at 5AM but no one else showed up until 0950, ten minutes prior to opening??? Meaning I wasted a lot of time…. I could have showed up at 0900 and still have been able to pick him up. Funny thing is, there were only 2 of them and me and the wife got both

I didn't "hear it" anywhere, its logic. They're not going to release Soundwave in May and Acid Storm in June. Normal sales patterns indicate the big money item will be out for Christmas, and there's no logical reason to think Acid Storm wouldn't come out in the same time frame that TC did (late summer after SDCC).
And next year, I'd expect another seeker out in the summer, and Takara's next "big" MP for Christmas.
fake
I hope not. When was MP OP revealed last year?

While this is a logical deduction, its certainly not confirmed.

Where did you hear that?
If that's true I've got 3 words for Hasbro Masterpiece Soundwave,
This Year's Turboman!

Loving the 5 cassettes

Acid Storm will be out in the summer (July/August, just after SDCC), and Soundwave will come out in November (as the big Christmas item for this year).
Just like last year.

I just hope I can find soundwave, I hope the release in not in July. I never had any problem finding Prime (first week of sighting).
Stepper
Hopefully it will come with all the cassettes

Sorry if I missed it here but has anyone heard about a date for these releases stateside?
Incepticon
Wow, how did I miss that? I must of been overly confident for a couple minutes thinking I'd actually find this thing in a store as, you know, expected.
Won't be making the same mistake with Soundwave.
