G2 Sideswipe basically has a "reversed" colour scheme from G1 Sideswipe, i.e.: what was red is black and what was black is red. Although the red is brighter than G1 Sideswipe, I agree that it is a really nice repaint and my favourite of all the repainted G1 moulds in G2.

He looked really cool in G2 fiction too, especially the way that they decked him out with all his "commando" accessories like bandoliers, spiked tyres etc. They should make a G2 Universe/Henkei Sideswipe as a limited exclusive.

IMO Laser Prime was the best Optimus Prime mould ever made until 2007's Leader Class movie Prime. And even then, judging Laser Prime in context of 1995 I'd say that toy is easily on par with movie and ROTF Leader Primes for the relative standards of 1995, 2007 and 2009.
