There likely won't be a Masterpiece Jazz, at least not one that turns into a licensed Porsche, as the company said that they don't want their car brand to be associated with Transformers because of how violent it is.
I use to have G1 Inferno, cool transformer. I also had G1 Snarl. He was my Favourite Dinobot. They need to do the Constructicons. That would be wicked cool.
you can pre-order it from the website so when they have it they'll send it straight to you, so it's not out of stock when you order after it comes out. But as of now it's not out yet. You with me?
Unfortunately, our initial allocation of this figure which is already en route to us has been sold out. We have secured some additional units, but the price was higher than the original batch. As such, we had to increase the sale price, However, the price increase is less than half the increase in cost to us. We will continue to look for additional sources at a lower price, and if we can secure them and return to the original price, the price guarantee will be in effect.
Mp Prowl and Smokescreen are coming out in June. Along with a Yellow repaint of Sideswipe. TigerTracks. I guess we'll get Clamp down and Deep Cover as well.
Great figure I love that they included the head bit to recreate the nervious paranoid Red Alert. That attention to detail is why I will track down and purchase this guy. Thank you for the great review Paul.
Dope review dude, I really didnt notice all those subtle differences in the pics. Good eye man. Yeah, def a niche character, think I'll pass even at the low 75 dollar price. Just got Sideswipe as a gift. Love what Takara's doing e capturing cartoon likeness.
I LOVE Red Alert, he was my first G1 and will always be my fave. He does have a bit of mixed up animation vs g1 look. The original Animation had white thighs where as G1 toy had red thighs, but as you said Animation had Red head where G1 toy had a black one. MP14 is basically a nice mix of the 2 looks.
Dude I hope so too..... BUT I wouldn't get my hopes up - just yet. Hasbro, or rather Takara, doesn't appear to be making molds that they can use only once.
the red head thing happened in henkei as well, henkei red alert had a red head, and then years later hasbro gave us a black headed red alert. i really found that bit odd, as well as in this instance.
I went from not being interested in the figure to preferring him to Sideswipe. Then again, due to the wider chest the mold has, it really feels that it was intended for Red Alert, despite SIdeswipe being released first.
Optibotimus, Henkei Red Alert had a red head as the Hasbro version had a black head. Nearly every classicsverse figure was given a G1 accurate paint scheme over Hasbro. Astrotrain, Red Alert, Galvatron, Cyclonus, and so on. That is how they got their rep as being G1 cartoon accurate vs toy accuracy. It seems at random at times, but Takara does tend to favor G1 accuracy over Hasbro. MP 10 was much more subtle than Red Alert's paint scheme.
If Takara can make a MP Sunstreaker, that would be awesome and complete the "Lamborghini" trio. Hopefully, Takara will make more iconic characters like Bumblebee, Hound, Mirage, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Ratchet and such. But Takara really needs to make more Dinobots. They made Grimlock and they have to make Swoop, Sludge, Snarl and Slag. Takara, listen to us, the fans. Please do that for us. What do you think, Paul?
hey im pretty confused... can u explain to me how Kapow toys works? I want the transformers fall of cybertron grimlock and I heard it hasent come out yet. but on the website it says its in stock....please explain..
I wanna see MP Triplechangers. They did Classics and Generations Astrotrain and Tankor aka Octane, but they didn't do Blitzwing. Ironhide and Ratchet. Jazz Mirage Hound Shockwave And of course, your favourite Autobot Paul; Wheeljack.
***** hey Optibotimus, how long does it usually take for Masterpiece figures like MP-14 Red Alert and MP-17 to arrive at your doorstep from BigBadToyStore?
@optibotimus I thought mp-10 was based on the cartoon with the silver roller and dark blue. The hasbro is bright blue with a blue roller. I forgot about pre mp-08 masterpieces because I don't own them, and they do disprove my rubbish fact in a major way. Rodimus prime by Takara is very cartoon acurate with black boots. The Hasbro one is G1 toy colour. I'm off to investigate *investigates*
Although weirdly Lamborghini got licensed no probs, but as Lamborghini are owned by Audi, and Audi are in essence owned by VW! Kinda makes them not wanting their company associated with warring robots rather redundant!
@optibotimus I was just trying to be informative. You seemed to think Takara go with the G1 toy and you found it strange that they went with the animation on this one. But Takara always go with the animation. I'm gping to take my fact back if you don't appreciate it lok
The Transformers episode was titled "Auto Berserk" when Red Alert's logic chips were damaged by a Decepticon attack.
Sure thing is; WE NEED A MP JAZZ!!! Its long overdue!
thanks for the review, I'll get him thanks to you!
In reference at the 10:40 mark, the episode is called "Auto Beserk".
I am hoping for a MP Mirage or Jazz.
lwc888 yeah
lwc888 jazz already out but I agree for mirage
Arssh Bajpai There is no official MP Jazz.
There likely won't be a Masterpiece Jazz, at least not one that turns into a licensed Porsche, as the company said that they don't want their car brand to be associated with Transformers because of how violent it is.
Both not out
I use to have G1 Inferno, cool transformer.
I also had G1 Snarl.
He was my Favourite Dinobot.
They need to do the Constructicons.
That would be wicked cool.

Great review. I can't wait to get mine. And thanks for showing the door trick I was wondering if that could be done
Absolutely. If the USPS will ship there, we will too!

Thanks to your review of this guy I went and got my own I really do like the way the legs transformed
Dope review dude, I really didnt notice all those subtle differences in the pics. Good eye man. Yeah, def a niche character, think I'll pass even at the low 75 dollar price. Just got Sideswipe as a gift. Love what Takara's doing e capturing cartoon likeness.
Hehe "redheaded version".
Maybe that's why he's so crazy!
How has there not been an MP Bumblebee?
red alert and starscream tried to steal a tank that could evaporate anything
I actually hope the bring out all of the g1 cast in masterpiece
I LOVE Red Alert, he was my first G1 and will always be my fave.
He does have a bit of mixed up animation vs g1 look. The original Animation had white thighs where as G1 toy had red thighs, but as you said Animation had Red head where G1 toy had a black one. MP14 is basically a nice mix of the 2 looks.
you could have red alert in vehicle mode with the cannon on his lights to act as like a water cannon to put out the fires
Dude I hope so too..... BUT I wouldn't get my hopes up - just yet. Hasbro, or rather Takara, doesn't appear to be making molds that they can use only once.

Why do you want too remove the light bar.
i think the episode was called circut trouble
great review Paul... when u gonna tell us the great news that u posted on FB? =D
Oh shit I remember that episode too! Much more clearly than a lot of other G1 episodes.
Episode was called The Immobilizer
Optibotimus, Henkei Red Alert had a red head as the Hasbro version had a black head. Nearly every classicsverse figure was given a G1 accurate paint scheme over Hasbro. Astrotrain, Red Alert, Galvatron, Cyclonus, and so on. That is how they got their rep as being G1 cartoon accurate vs toy accuracy.
It seems at random at times, but Takara does tend to favor G1 accuracy over Hasbro. MP 10 was much more subtle than Red Alert's paint scheme.
Really He is released before MP-13 Soundwave which is delayed.
Since Red Alert is released before Soundwave (MP-13).
Do you think they will use the mould again for Sunstreaker?
If Takara can make a MP Sunstreaker, that would be awesome and complete the "Lamborghini" trio. Hopefully, Takara will make more iconic characters like Bumblebee, Hound, Mirage, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Ratchet and such. But Takara really needs to make more Dinobots. They made Grimlock and they have to make Swoop, Sludge, Snarl and Slag. Takara, listen to us, the fans. Please do that for us. What do you think, Paul?
hey im pretty confused... can u explain to me how Kapow toys works? I want the transformers fall of cybertron grimlock and I heard it hasent come out yet. but on the website it says its in stock....please explain..
if licensed, there would be mp bee or goldbug right?
Awesome review, dude. Now I'm gonna re-watch the DRSMOOV parody dub "Autobot Alert".
Are they in scale with the master piece seekers??
when does soundwave get released
why does his head open
Oh, that's great! Of course, do what what you want to do. We aren't gonna nag you to keep going, regardless of how fun your channel is. ^_^
@optibotimus I think the episode that the sparks are referencing was the episode with the Immobilizer.
I wish they would release masterpiece soundwave sometime soon
is soundwave getting a us release
i really hope mp-13 gets a us release
I wanna see MP Triplechangers.
They did Classics and Generations Astrotrain and Tankor aka Octane, but they didn't do Blitzwing.
Ironhide and Ratchet.
Jazz
Mirage
Hound
Shockwave
And of course, your favourite Autobot Paul; Wheeljack.
Still wanting to see a MP Warpath or Powerglide.
3:55 thank you
3:55
As long as they are making autobot cars that they can get two molds out of, how about Trailbreaker? I'd love to see it.
Why does it say $81 on the captured prey site?
Perfect as usual man
***** hey Optibotimus, how long does it usually take for Masterpiece figures like MP-14 Red Alert and MP-17 to arrive at your doorstep from BigBadToyStore?
how many of these are repaints?
I wonder if hasbro is going to release this and MP Soundwave here.
Now you need a Masterpiece Inferno to go with him.
Great review man, and thank u for the promo code!!!
He was my frist g1 figure
witch mold would you think of picking up first
Red Alert's cartoon model was based on the G1 toy. :)
The way those electric things are made make red alert look like hehas headphones or earmuffs
well there is one coming up...lambor mold? not sure... optibotimus?
I actually remember watching that episode on teleton retor
Takara is always based off the cartoon colours. It's Hasbro that use the G1 toy colours
one quick question,man,where can I get that good price?
fantastic review my friend
where is MP soundwave?
Since they announced Inferno coming out this November, I ant find him anywhere lol.
Confirmed Masterpiece Toys: Mp-19 Smokescrean, Mp-20 Wheeljack, Mp-21 Bumblebee, Mp-22 NEW Ultra Magnus, Mp-13b Soundblaster with Ratbat. That's all are know.
the episode is called "Auto-Berserk"
I'm starting to believe that G1 sideswipe toy was a redo of red alert now...
Loved that episode
his legs where white in the cartoon right?
So basically Red Alert's cartoon was identical to the toy (sans head color) and Sideswipe not so much
I'm going to miss your reviews, man. Only a few more planned, huh?
@optibotimus I thought mp-10 was based on the cartoon with the silver roller and dark blue. The hasbro is bright blue with a blue roller. I forgot about pre mp-08 masterpieces because I don't own them, and they do disprove my rubbish fact in a major way. Rodimus prime by Takara is very cartoon acurate with black boots. The Hasbro one is G1 toy colour. I'm off to investigate *investigates*
Was the episode 34 title called auto berserk
Although weirdly Lamborghini got licensed no probs, but as Lamborghini are owned by Audi, and Audi are in essence owned by VW! Kinda makes them not wanting their company associated with warring robots rather redundant!
I hope they make masterpeice smokescreen
i think takara should do more of the dinobots we got grimlock wheres the rest?
top noch review! keep it up!
Actually I think Micheal Bay also vetoed the Bug because it wasn't very bad*ss (pardon the censorship I'm uncomfortable with using swears)
It was a giant cannon they tried to steal.
Autobeserk is the name of the episode.
I remember that episode
RED UH-LURT! WOO WOO WOO!
The first time I've ever heard of Red Alert is when I watched the Transformers Cybertron series
thank you
Masterpiece warpath anf powerglide = classics dude
hope we get Sunstreaker
@optibotimus I was just trying to be informative. You seemed to think Takara go with the G1 toy and you found it strange that they went with the animation on this one. But Takara always go with the animation. I'm gping to take my fact back if you don't appreciate it lok
I like the Red Alert character more than sideswipe so I'll try to pick this guy up.
Autobot Berserk is the episode
Auto Berserk was the episode he went haywire....
i agree
just had dejavu that you review though figures before funny huh
It was the megavator
Love red alert
Please don't stop reviewing DX
ya thanks @BrowserBen
Cool fig!
great review sir and call me crazy, but I think Red Alert is a much better looking figure.
I can loosely translate poor spelling/grammar, he means "why does he have a shorter name than the original?"
