Takara Tomy - Human Alliance Sideswipe Pt.1 (ROTF)








I couldn't stop taking pictures on this car after taking it out of the box. I like the "butterfly doors" of the car and the Corvette symbol on the front hood. There is a disc brake inside each of the wheels and that is pretty cool. The bad thing is difficult to put "Sergeant Epps" in the car. And, I don't like the human figure as it has a pair of long legs. Overall, Sideswipe looks very nice in Corvette Stingray Concept Mode and it's a must have figure in my collection.

Hi deSMOnd,

I like HA Sideswipe for his sleeker car mode with less "lines" on him. I look forward to see him transformed into robot mode in your next post :D

desmond said...

Cowboy75 - Great that you have this figure too..

desmond said...

Jason - Yes, agree with you. Sideswipe looks better in car mode. I think the problem is the "backpack" behind Sideswipe when in robot mode. But overall Sideswipe looks cool and his head is awesome!!

desmond said...

Yes Juliana, HA Sideswipe body in car mode is less panel lines when comparing to deluxe class Sideswipe. I think the reason is HA Sideswipe is bigger in size and we don't need to open or fold so many panels for transformation. Small folded parts are able to hide inside the car body and thus we see less panel lines on the body.

yeah, the only main problem is the bulky and kibble backpack. most successed-made human alliance figures is SKIDS! i love that. car mode and robot mode is AWESOME!!

desmond said...

Ya Jason, agree with you. HA Skids is pretty cool in both modes. Not forgetting HA Bumblebee :)
