Following up on the sheer number of toy reveals that happened yesterday at Singapore’s Cybertron Con 2012, it has been revealed at the Takara panel that the next Masterpiece toy will be none other than Lambor (Sideswipe). It is unknown at this time what the release date or price will be for this upcoming release, we will be sure to keep you posted when the news is available.
Thanks to the Singaporean Transformers Facebook group for providing the photo.

Both my Sideswipe and Red Alert are flawless, I really doubt that there are THAT many defects, so you shouldn't really worry.

I hope the second batch of preorders might be different? How bad is this paint issue

I just got my Masterpiece Sideswipe in the mail today, and I have to say that I lucked out in terms of paint apps..It looks pretty good to some of the ones I have seen people post pictures of and review on You Tube….whew!

Hopefully the Hasbro version could come with it as an exclusive accessory.

I'd say the "chances" have incereased immensely.

Is there a chance that there will be a Master Piece "Bluestreak", "Prowl" and "Smokescreen"? If Takara doesn't do it I'm pretty sure some 3rd party company will make them.

The engineering for Sideswipe sure look impressive,it sure is G1 enough & the Lambor car just make it sweeter.

I was never a big stickler about scale, more about engineering and articulation, but if there was a scale I would like them to follow, I'm good with cartoon robot scale. Yeah Grimlock is still Prime height, but that's something I can live with considering how much I like the Grimlock we have.
Sideswipe seems perfect to me- it's like classics but… more classic.

The wiki says Floro did it for whatever that's worth.

All I've ever wanted was bot mode cartoon scale 'accuracy', so needless to say, I am more than pleased with that very thing being the new focus of Takara with this reborn Masterpiece line. They said around the release of MP-10 that they were going to (now) focus on maintaining bot mode cartoon scale accuracy, and what we've seen with MP-10 thru MP-13, they've absolutely nailed it to a tee. Assuming we get a quasi complete line of characters, it's going to make the releases of bigger guys like Ironhide & Trailbreaker that much more interesting. The only thing that could possibly make this line more perfect (for me) would be the re-release of Grimlock (and the other Dinobots) at a scale about an inch or so taller than MP-10 and a Skyfire that is as large as MP-01. Beyond that, as long as they continue what they're doing with MP-12/14 sized Autobot characters, I have no complaints whatsoever that some of the alt modes may look out of whack next to each other.

All I can say is YES I just hope its not really expensive. I want this for sure and hope to get this next year when I can afford it.

Wasn't it Takashi Kunihiro? Pretty sure it was. He designed Hot Rod and later Rodimus.

I'm pretty sure he was designed by Floro Dery, a Filipino.
