Honestly this is the only DOTM figure/toy I am even remotely interested. Now having said that, I've probably just jinxed myself and will never ever find him. *sigh*

I'm really impressed with this figure. One of my favourites in the line easily. It's a very innovative figure in terms of it's transformation. I think there's a lot of uniqueness about the way the arms fold back to be the symmetric sides of the helicopter, the wings lock in to the alt mode and the detail in the legs that push out the white leg pads. Really adds different layers to him which once combined with the unique wings and goldish transparent shoulders, it's visually strong and a lot of fun.
My only problem was QC. I have gone through x3 of him to get the right one which wasn't QC riddled. My principal QC issues have been:
- shoulders are floppy and slouch down way too easily, reducing his buff look and making him look quite sad.
- legs too easily do the splits
Grab two DOTM Sideswipe's guns and double up on his weapon, and you have one gorgeously armed bot that no one wants to mess with. Absolute winner from the line

Did you buy a 2nd Sideswipe? I want to avoid that if at all possible. Hasbro should sell a mechtech weapon pack
