Actually, MP-10 on does supposed to have in-scale robot modes. And if you look on any G1 character scale sheet with optimus Prime and an Autobot car, the cars are almost always up to Optimus' waist. So Sideswipe is in-scale with Op in bot mode.

Edit:

I've had a good look at the little red chap, and i quite like him. the $140 price tag doesn't offend me as much as some others who post here. I choose not to compare him not with fellow MP's, just as a stand alone piece.
If you compare him with MP10, then yes, the $140 is a tad high. However, if you compare him to say a Henkei Ghost Starscream at $100, Stepper at $120 or the soon to be released Artfire at $150, then to me, he doesn't seem all that over priced.

I see your point but Ghost Starscream, Stepper, and Artfire are all exclusives. The latter two required buying $20 Japanese magazines and submitting coupons to be used for them. MP Sideswipe is not an exclusive.

It was just a case of *insert 3 TF's and prices here* kind of thing. Now with the $100 price point established, it's even easier to make comparisons. But you all get my drift anyway
