Got this figure today and this is NOT a remould. This is a completely new mould much to my surprise. So its not just replacing the blades with guns at all.

The alt mode is identical but totally different seam lines. It uses the premium silver paint all over and has clear red windows and a nice red paint app for the front. There's two hatches that flap open so you can clip both guns onto it.

The conversion is one of the most astonishing engineering I've seen. It's not too complex but is so wonderfully done, with a lot of unexpected folds and panels ending up where you wouldn't expect them to. This was the first time I realized this was completely a new mould for the character.

The bot mode is proportioned perfectly and the feet on this mould is a lot better than the original Sideswipe mould. The head sculpt is amazingly detailed and also for the rest of the details on the chest, legs and arms. The rubbery crotch hoses are still present and some new ones placed behind the knee. The chest/torso is very nicely proportioned and a lot less back kibble seeing this mould has the front of the car wrapping around the forearms as kibble. The guns are very nice accessories with both having swing out handles and able to be held into Sideswipes hands. The arms tend to look slightly short, but could just be the kibble around that makes them look stumpy. The legs are still tricky to pose due to the chicken walker design not allowing for much knee articulation.

Another winner in the latest line of deluxes and I must truly hand it to the engineers for getting to such great conversions that truly feel next gen.

I will post pics later with comparisons with the original Sideswipe mould.
