Takara want to earn money,definitely will come out all the MP cassettes.

Is that how you see it? I thought Red Alert was trying his best to do an energon Princess Leia imitation.

One of the pic showing that Jap guy pressing the hood,am just assuming that it is the case but if it is not,i am sorry my bad but we shall see how the light up features going to function for Red Alert's head.
Renidragon
Wow. My wallet is going to seriously hurt if I start buying into the MP line… these look fantastic.
Shatterpoint
Those are actually bits of plastic you put on the horns to simulate his freakouts from that one episode of G1.
REMINATOR
Where is this info coming from or was it from the TTomy video interview? I saw the designer made some sort of gesture at the Red Alert body, but didn't understand Japanese, so I hope that's you are talking about. I prefer to see the actual light up feature than the plastic glob.
Stepper
By pressing the hood or the Autobot logo of Red Alert,the head will light up,that is cool man.

Haha…ask and you shall receive. This is a bit late but I wanted to say thanks.
Argh! If only I could have these three new MPs in hand now! Sideswipe was my first G1 Transformer from the Season 1 characters, but Sunstreaker was always my favorite 'bot and I never found him as a kid. I REALLY hope they design an accurate transformation, and appearance for Sideswipe's bro if they release him.

The only thing I'm not diggin with ravage is that he again has a static neck and head. I'd kill to of been able to put him in a pounce stance, but I don't think that would be close to possible with the way he's currently designed. But I could be wrong about him, too. And I'd welcome that, .

Hope they improve Ravage, he just looks off to me. Laserbeak and Rumble/Frenzy both look sick though.

I cannot wait for Soundwave and his minions to come out. They look amazing. I hope they eventually release all the cassettes. I want Slugfest, Overkill, Squawktalk & Beastbox in addition to Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Rumble, Frenzy & Ravage. Heck…I even want an Autoscout. I do have a feeling that Ratbat will be released with the eventual Soundblaster repaint.
I wonder if both Rumble and Frenzy will be released with the piledrivers. I know they both used them in the G1 cartoon.

Impessive he can even hold G1 tapes!
REMINATOR
Wow! Love Soundwave compartment tape deck where each tape gets push out by a single click, awesome!! As for the Laserbeak clinging onto Soundwave hand and shoulder, just give me the simple peg and groove connection, no fancy magnet. All in all, Laserbeak is unbelievable magnificient, Soundwave and Rumble are beautiful, while Ravage may need more work can't really tell much from the photo/video.

I don't know that it was a magnet. Seemed like his talons are the same width as the arms, and it looked like they slid one talon under a clip or something to attach to the shoulder. I only watched once though.
Yeah, sorry I didn't see that the other guy said they were magnetic. I didn't get that impression from the video.
Hotwire
Damn!!! Really wanting Sideswipe and Soundwave now!!!
Wyvern
Awwww shit…
I thought they were clipping Laserbeak onto some type of peg or something. Glad to see they're open to using magnets finally. This just keeps getting better and better.
deaculpa
^ they do it in the video.
Wyvern
What? When was that revealed??
Raiju
Very nice reveals. Shame that MP Shockwave was just a joke (or a tease? who knows) but I dig Soundwave's chest cavity gimmick of being able to cycle through each of the three cassette tapes for deployment with a touch of a button, and that Laserbeak's feet can stick to SW's forearms and shoulders via magnetic plates/bits. Laserbeak's engineering alone is off the hook!
deaculpa
grr. just want a good clean shot or frenzy and ravage.
