    Alternators don't fit in MP-10. Here's a quick comparison i did with Alternity Starscream, G1 Sideswipe & Henkei Sunstreaker.



    Almost the same size as Alternity Starscream then and thus probably 1/32 if anything.

    Thanks for that Kurdt.

    Still very keen on this, mainly because I'm a sucker for lamborghinis.

    Not sure I'm a massive fan of the shade of red - it's a bit orangey especially compared to the G1 version.

    EDIT: Although the pictures you posted in post 24 are a nicer shade of red.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    as everyones said, it's just way to small.. i don't care if it fits in mp-10's trailer or not.. (i'm not playing Knight Rider)
    still if its around 60 or 70. i might still buy it, or wait for a Hasbro version and get it on sale at TRU. (if mp hotrod is anything to go by) should come in at the $15 - $20 mark

    Wow! The cheapest I saw MP Rodimus get marked down to was $60! It initially retailed for $80 -- at least, that's how much I paid for at TRU.

    I don't think he's hinting at having bought MP Rodimus for $20 but rather that's how much MP Sideswipe should retail for given the size difference

    Oh right, I see. To be fair, I think this toy should be more complex than an average Deluxe -- so probably $40 is a fairer price. Alternities retailed for about $50-55, which I've always felt was too much (considering that Binaltechs retailed at that range). But given that alternities do retail at that level, $50-55 might be acceptable. The pre-order price is $68, and apparently you get the exclusive chrome piledrivers with it.

    I picked up HMP hotrod for 50 on sale at TRU(i thought that was insanely cheap!) then 2 weeks later he was discounted even further. this was only a few months ago

    and yeah, i was just thinking about the price diff between TMP Hotrod and HMP Hotrod and then applying it to Sideswipe. It will most likely not happen but....
