MP-12 Lambor / Sideswipe

Almost fresh off Cybertron Con 2012 in Singapore, Takara Tomy's next Masterpiece is Sideswipe! Nope, not that sleek-silver Corvette Stingray Concept that the younger generation have come to relate to, (no) thanks to Michael Bay's recent movies, but the original one — the Lamborghini Countach, G1 version. Yes kids, the REAL Sideswipe. My generation's Sideswipe.

If the news isn't reason for G1 fans to rejoice, or make them come back to the Masterpiece line, then I don't know what will.

If TakTomy can make it as seamless as Starscream's F-15 Eagle alt-mode, I'm definitely down for at least one piece.

On the same note, just think of all the repaints MP-12 could spin off:

1. Sunstreaker
2. Red Alert
3. Clamp Down
4. Deep Cover
5. Tigertrack
6. Breakdown
7. Punch/Counter-punch
8. Free Wheeler
9. Laster
10. Flame/Motorvator

The list is literally a bevy of Lamborghini alt-mode goodness!

If there's one more wish that I could make for this release, it's to include a proper amount of die-cast for MP-12 and its variants.
