Got the Powerbot Sideswipe toy yesterday, and took a minute video of the Light and Sound features - because of it's (fake) Australian accent.
It took several attempts to get this uploaded, but it is finally up for your viewing pleasure.

And a couple of photos too (note the Canadian packaging).

Out now in stores (BigW and Kmart so far).
The aus-accent kinda threw me back. I don't really think it suits Sideswipe..
Did he have that voice in the movie? I cant remember.
His only line was "Damn, I'm good.", so it's not unreasonable.Quote:

Then again, the various Electronic Devastator toys have phrases, and that character didn't even say a word in the Movie...
well thats certainly different.....almost sounds like Jango Fett to me
Devastator has one line in the movie, his own name. Welker did it.
Lol, when he says "you... don't wanna mess with me" it reminds me of Kano from the Mortal Kombat film :p
Sideswipe also had dialogue in the Egypt battle. He got a lot more dialogue and screen time than poor Jolt!
Just you wait Jolt is going to be a major player in TF3:pQuote:

Okay...so I saw one of these in Target today and of course
pressed the talk button...And I nearly fell over laughing...
:eek:
I was waiting for him to say:
"By Crikey...look at the size of that Decepticon"
Or
"How about we head to the servo for a few brews"
Or even
"Throw another Shrimpticon on the Barbe"
Why does he sound like that? Whats the point?
:confused:
Everyone knows that if we get an Australian Transformer
in the live action films it will be a blue Ford ute that
always calls in sick for work and sit around drinking
copious amounts of motor oil...and his name will be
Gary...or Gazza to his mates.
