Video Review of the Takara MP-14; Masterpiece Alert (aka Red Alert)

[@Chosenhorse2]

The Transformers episode was titled "Auto Berserk" when Red Alert's logic chips were damaged by a Decepticon attack.

[@Deathscythetransform]

Sure thing is; WE NEED A MP JAZZ!!! Its long overdue! thanks for the review, I'll get him thanks to you!

[@lwc888]

I am hoping for a MP Mirage or Jazz.

[@louisthibaudeau99]

lwc888 yeah

[@magikal_oz9872]

lwc888 jazz already out but I agree for mirage

[@muisverriet]

Arssh Bajpai There is no official MP Jazz.

[@breenotcheese746]

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.

[@aaronlycan3860]

Both not out

[@RingoLoadagain]

Hehe "redheaded version". Maybe that's why he's so crazy!

[@ShartimusPrime]

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.

[@ThirdOfJune4444]

In reference at the 10:40 mark, the episode is called "Auto Beserk".

[@aussieguy6908]

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.

[@M1NDxBEND3R]

How has there not been an MP Bumblebee?

[@TurboGaming2099]

red alert and starscream tried to steal a tank that could evaporate anything

[@IrishKyokushin]

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.

[@Magikknight76]

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.

[@orsonchristian5555]

Absolutely. If the USPS will ship there, we will too!

[@BrowserBen]

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?

[@orsonchristian5555]

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.

[@JayGeter]

Great review. I can't wait to get mine. And thanks for showing the door trick I was wondering if that could be done

[@TahaRahman786]

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..

[@bills1981]

Thanks to your review of this guy I went and got my own I really do like the way the legs transformed

[@Lord_Mideon]

I actually hope the bring out all of the g1 cast in masterpiece

[@303Concepts]

***** 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?

[@TEKKspark]

Do you think they will use the mould again for Sunstreaker?

[@razorquake46]

i think the episode was called circut trouble

[@7171schocker]

@optibotimus I think the episode that the sparks are referencing was the episode with the Immobilizer.

[@Slashercon]

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.

[@heirofthedog1]

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.

[@Micthed1c]

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.

[@icrapmypantsify]

Are they in scale with the master piece seekers??

[@jaredgilbertcaberos5964]

if licensed, there would be mp bee or goldbug right?

[@TheoMenswar]

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. ^_^

[@Megatronus1711]

witch mold would you think of picking up first

[@burningsirius]

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.

[@TFSuperSentaiFan1995]

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?

[@RingoLoadagain]

Oh shit I remember that episode too! Much more clearly than a lot of other G1 episodes.

[@levis_corner]

how many of these are repaints?

[@JlsOwner]

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

[@Chosenhorse2]

Now you need a Masterpiece Inferno to go with him.

[@petergreen1994]

one quick question,man,where can I get that good price?

[@steve2275]

3:55 thank you

[@jasonmichael1109]

3:55

[@unlimited02]

great review Paul... when u gonna tell us the great news that u posted on FB? =D

[@MorphumaxPrime]

Since they announced Inferno coming out this November, I ant find him anywhere lol.

[@trence5]

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.

[@1984sideswipe]

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.

[@Pixarprime10]

when does soundwave get released

[@SpiderusPrime]

Since Red Alert is released before Soundwave (MP-13).

[@86Timewarp]

Why does it say $81 on the captured prey site?

[@keaneho2705]

Was the episode 34 title called auto berserk

[@TechWizard28]

I'm starting to believe that G1 sideswipe toy was a redo of red alert now...

[@bendundidit]

Still wanting to see a MP Warpath or Powerglide.

[@mjcrow36]

I wonder if hasbro is going to release this and MP Soundwave here.

[@edoggz20111]

Why do you want too remove the light bar.

[@Dbobcol]

I wish they would release masterpiece soundwave sometime soon

[@Pixarprime10]

is soundwave getting a us release

[@Henk_20000]

He was my frist g1 figure

[@areasevenpro]

Awesome review, dude. Now I'm gonna re-watch the DRSMOOV parody dub "Autobot Alert".

[@TheoMenswar]

I'm going to miss your reviews, man. Only a few more planned, huh?

[@Lord_Mideon]

Episode was called The Immobilizer

[@aussieguy6908]

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.

[@chrisr291]

Red Alert's cartoon model was based on the G1 toy. :)

[@yahoo290]

well there is one coming up...lambor mold? not sure... optibotimus?

[@megatron2171]

where is MP soundwave?

[@jaredgilbertcaberos5964]

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.

[@chubbzltz]

Great review man, and thank u for the promo code!!!

[@Echo_Reyes]

The way those electric things are made make red alert look like hehas headphones or earmuffs

[@SpiderusPrime]

Really He is released before MP-13 Soundwave which is delayed.

[@CarnageCreations]

fantastic review my friend

[@Armagetz]

Perfect as usual man

[@lucasmedia1]

I actually remember watching that episode on teleton retor

[@NealosONE]

Takara is always based off the cartoon colours. It's Hasbro that use the G1 toy colours

[@Pixarprime10]

i really hope mp-13 gets a us release

[@mechtech324]

the episode is called "Auto-Berserk"

[@heirofthedog1]

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!

[@OptimusPhillip]

So basically Red Alert's cartoon was identical to the toy (sans head color) and Sideswipe not so much

[@Znistus]

his legs where white in the cartoon right?

[@danieljarrell8617]

Loved that episode

[@NealosONE]

@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*

[@Pixarprime10]

why does his head open

[@OptimusPhillip]

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)

[@svik71]

The first time I've ever heard of Red Alert is when I watched the Transformers Cybertron series

[@GojiGamera87]

It was a giant cannon they tried to steal.

[@robots1]

Autobeserk is the name of the episode.

[@primusvsunicron1]

RED UH-LURT! WOO WOO WOO!

[@weaponx22001]

i think takara should do more of the dinobots we got grimlock wheres the rest?

[@AvengingTragedy69]

great review sir and call me crazy, but I think Red Alert is a much better looking figure.

[@TheSonicfan91]

I remember that episode

[@NealosONE]

@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

[@samuraiprime100]

I hope they make masterpeice smokescreen

[@Pixarprime10]

top noch review! keep it up!

[@mikelnator]

Cool fig!

[@trence5]

thank you

[@ProjectxDurge]

I like the Red Alert character more than sideswipe so I'll try to pick this guy up.

[@zyenull]

which is on my birthday!

[@svik71]

Sunstreaker should be a Masterpiece too

[@trackmastertomy1590]

he is a masterpiece he is the same number but with a B at the end!

[@jmiles718]

Adalbert Buchaniec it's a KO

[@TFIta369]

+Adalbert “Trackmastertomy1590” Buchaniec Isn't that the repaint Tigertrack?

[@unsaltedsalt8208]

+Adalbert “Trackmastertomy1590” Buchaniec it looks nothing like him in robot mode

[@randomusprime2475]

+TFIta369 it is

[@godfireprime]

Autobot Berserk is the episode

[@Babytronians]

Please don't stop reviewing DX

[@shadowfall1976]

Auto Berserk was the episode he went haywire....

[@Primejohn1]

[@Fushigidane143]

[@MoneyBags76]

[@Lord_Mideon]
