Masterpiece MP-12A and MP-13 identities revealed
It's a crazy world we live in, as the identities for two Transformers Masterpiece figures made by Takara have been revealed in quick succession! While the Masterpiece line is nearing a decade old, Takara has yet to have a dozen molds released under it's belt. The identity of MP-12 was released earlier, as the Lamborghini Transformer, Sideswipe. Now it has been revealed that his repaint/variant will be MP-12A, Red Alert, a medic Transformer who also took the shape of Lamborghini in the original 80's cartoon. The MP-12 is the smallest and least expensive Masterpiece made, at $100 US, and has been speculated to be the size of a Voyager class figure. Lastly we said there were two identity reveals - MP-13 has been revealed to be the fan favorite character, Soundwave. Soundwave has had many reincarnations over the years in different universes and toy lines. Will the Masterpiece version finally put an end to it and crown itself king? Only time will tell!
