Be nice see a proper MP Bee, the alternity is ok if a little big and a different car type just wouldn't be the same so maybe there won't be one, but we can always hope.

 

One will simply not be enough of that Soundwave.

 

Ha - no kidding!  

Yeah I agree but Alternity Bee is the best we've got IMHO. A proper VW one would be the stuff of dreams but can't see it. That 3rd party classics re-shell didn't look bad but an official Has/Tak one is the holy grail. Really want a proper Cliffjumper too - a Porsche version of Cliffjumper is also right up there ( and equally unlikely)  

 

Main downsides I see to the art feather Bee is it looks taller than alternity Bee and it has those great big block hands and massive door panels on the arm but going on how much I like the PP05 van bros I'd like IGear give them a shot.

 

I MUST have that Soundwave! In fact, I must agree with McSoundwave! Even I can't believe I'm saying this, but...I think I need both the Takara AND inevitable Hasbro versions of this!

 

That's what we all said with Breakdown, and look where that's going. 

Come on Hasbro, don't miss this opportunity to please us.

damn Takara for making my hobby so addicting

 

^LOL

 

So, Lambo is owned by both Audi & Volkswagon?? I'm confused  

 

VW owns Audi, Audi owns Lambo. Thus, VW owns Lambo.

 

^If that's the case, does Lambo need permission now to license its own products out, or does it still act independent?? Wasn't Porsche owned by VW as well?

 

Shut up and take my money!!

That Soundwave is amazing! <3

 

Yeah all good points - it doesn't look 'right' somehow.

This!

They can still make independent decisions and the licensing is still independent. Porsche is complicated but yes effectively VW now own them:

BBC News - Volkswagen agrees to buy rest of Porsche for $5.6bn

 

The perfect collection. IMO at least.

 

Has it been confirmed that the standard release of Soundwave will come with a Energon cube or is it just the Amazon.jp exclusive?

 

Standard one comes with one cube, amazon.jp comes with three.

 

Just The Japanese Amazon Exclusive will come with the multiple Energon Cubes.

 

Awesome, thanks. I will be happy with just the one.

 

They only did Red Alert because his original toy was a repaint of Sideswipe. He isn't a character who would have got his own new mold on his own merits. Even if he was, his vehicle mode is too close to Sideswipe's (originally being the same mold) to warrant doing him as a seperate mold.

I would like a Masterpiece Bumblebee to have his vehicle mode based on a real Volkswagen and to be in scale with Sideswipe's regardless of what this does for the two's robot mode heights. A Masterpiece toy should not look like an oversized penny racer.

 

Red Alert look better than i expected
