Product Description

Product Description
Sideswipe is a natural-born fighter. He's had little formal training in the arts of war, yet he has an instintive nature that makes him one of the most dangerous warriors among the Autobots. He is not as self-centered or cold blooded as his brother Sunstreaker, but the two are nonetheless close. When they fight side by side, they are truly a force to be reckoned with.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, January 30, 2009

He looks fantastic in car mode, and rolls great too, but the transformation is a little tricky, and it will take you several times to figure out how to get it back to a car from a robot. I think I got one not made very well. When you turn him into a robot, the car top rotates to bring his head up (a nice feature), but mine won't go up vertical all the way. A friend of mine's kid has it, and I transformed it the identical way and it worked, letting me know mine just be not made very well. Additionally, his arms are super flimsy and won't stay up, and his chest tends to sag down low if you actually play with him, making him appear fairly rag doll-ish. His gun won't stay up in the hole for the shoulder cannon, so all-around I feel I got a little gypped.
Because he's so complicated, so fussy in robot form, my kids keep him as a car most of the time, which, again, looks super cool.
Try a different character from this line first that's way sturdier, like Starscream or Hound. Unless you just need the cool red sports car...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Brothers are Back!Part 1: Sideswipe, January 24, 2009

The Autobot brothers have always been two of my favorite Transformers characters,and here they are back in new bodies.Sideswipe is probably my favorite of the two so I'll start with him.Sideswipe has a beautiful car mode that looks like a Lambourghini,his choice of form back in Generation 1.The transformation is cool and not too complex.A neat and subtle nod to G1 is the only difference between him and his brother is his head,and the fact that his chest is reversed so that Sunstreaker has the car top for his chest,while Sideswipe has the car front for his chest.He only comes with one gun,which can be held in his hand or mounted on a hole on his shoulder for his classic rocket launcher which is how I usually display him with Universe Tankor's gun in his hand.He is an outstanding figure that has excellent articulation and detail.I highly recommend him.
