Toy Review - AA Sidearm Sideswipe

[LordCyrusOmega]

I already own 2 moulds of this sideswipe so not keen on a 3rd.

More interested in other characters that appeared in the movie that haven't appeared yet.

Overall a nice design though but come on hasbro; how bout some new moulds?

[SharkyMcShark]

This is a new mold entirely.

Anyway I picked one up today and it's really nice. The transformation is very good - complex but not frustrating. My only gripes are the red paint apps and the legs, which are very limited (they've got joints on them but they're resitricted by the faux piping and hydraulics).

The red will be fixed in the Japanese release, and the legs aren't that big a deal really.

Recomended.

Main reason I got "Sidearm Sideswipe" is that there is a likely chance this could be the last version (yes, i know this is Hasbro we a talking about here ) of Sideswipe that has a roof in Vehicle Mode ...
( same sort of reasoning why, i got "Premium Jazz" from the 07 movie line as, there was a very good chance he was not going to be in the Second Movie and i thought it was the best D. Class version he was going to get )

Anyway i got the Takara-Tomy Version "I considered it to be the best one, compared to the Hasbro version " and from my stand point the Takara-Tomy version is indeed the best one to get.



In case anyone asks yes , the feet are backwards in the Robot Mode pic....
The reason is that have noticed in this position, I can retract the "Front Toes (what becomes, the front toes after rotation of the feet) then make the rear toes higher so the wheels on both feet can spin .

I doubt anyone wants to see a separate thread for the TT version :P

I didn't like the red paint on the front of the hasbro version and too prefer the TT version.

i just wish it wasnt so expensive to get the TT versions :/
