Takara Tomy - Sideswipe Pt.2 (ROTF)








This is my favourite Autobot so far. Sideswipe is a robot with wheel-based feet and deployable blades on his arms. I think Sideswipe has an advantage using his blades when having close battle tactics. The head sculpt and chest part of this figure look very nice to me. Anyway, you may see Sideswipe in Corvette Stingray Concept Mode here and its transformation via Peaugh's video here.

Cool, your Sideswipe stands on his toes! Mine stands on his heels :P

This is 1 Deluxe ROTF toy that looks so good in both vehicle and robot modes. That's why he's so popular with both collectors and kids! :)

Between him and ROTF Preview Deluxe Bumblebee, I still pick the latter cos Sideswipe in robot mode has a lot of 'loose parts' that 'fall out of place' when you handle him, like the thruster piece behind his head, the 'bonnet wings' and the mid-body section :P

The robot mode win hands down over the vehicle mode IMHO. :) Nice! Still I will wait for premium and OFFer prices with discount much much later. LOL

Juliana, my Sideswipe is fine. And not very loose for all the joints. So far so good..I guess I am lucky afterall :P

Leon, I think Hasbro will repaint most of the deluxe figures and release them in the near future. "Waiting" Strategy for the premium series is a right choice..

I am liking this more and more, especially the robot mode. I really like the "Blades" on his arms.

Yes Jcee, I like the blades on his arms and its head (a bit like Gundam) too. This one is worth buying as it looks awesome in both vehicle and robot modes..Go grab it!!
