He's got that meh face. The face is surprisingly detailed. I didn't really give him a good look until I saw the picture posted here. I activated the noise button pulling him out of the box and it caught me off guard.

Look at his tiny little hand holes. Is he supposed to hold deluxe scaled weapons? :-?

Yeah, the 5mm compatibility help enhance play value by allowing this or any 5mm compatible figure to hold just about any Transformers weapon accessory in this day and age. 8)

YouTube Reviewer, MitchSantona, has this up already. Bumblebee is a typical young-dude leader, with catchphrases, car-revving noises, & a short rock-TF-theme, light-up eyes/forehead crest, & only shoulder rotation for articulation. He's a huge, cheaply-made, unnecessarily expensive, hollow, mess, that some people will just love.

I myself would never buy this, especially at full price, but as someone who bought super-sized Playskool Rescue Heroes Epic Optimus Prime (at clearance for $9.00, to display my Bot-Shots,G1 Robot Heroes, & Kre-Ons) I can't totally hate this. But sheesh, for it to not even have Legends-level articulation for $50?

You may be right. I watched Mitch's review and was impressed with the amount of paint apps. Super Bee is not my thing, but the size strangely draws me to it.

Like maybe make an ottoman from him or something.

To be fair he has them on the back of his hands as well which he can use to hold guns in a less silly fashion. I like to use Combiner Wars Prime's guns with him.

I think this Bumblebee is meant to fit in with oversized figures made in different lines/companies. They should still give Bee some decent shoulders and elbows at least

Courtesy of Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 we have another video review for the latest Transformers: Robots in Disguise Warrior class wave: Sideswipe, the teenage swordsbot! Check out the video embedded below for the wavemate of Jazz, and find out your fellow collector's thoughts on the toy - does it pass the bar?

Well, Hasbro can't win them all. Sideswipe has a great looking car mode, two tone paint and all, unfortunately that's where the compliments end. While the transformation is interesting, a flaw in the design prevents the torso from coming together properly and staying together, making posing the upper half of the figure impossible. Perhaps the inevitable repaint will somehow magically stay together, but I'm not holding out hope.

That's a real shame about Sideswipe, I was really jazzed for this wave. I still feel that Sideswipe looks good in alt mode. It really is a very cool looking car with some neat vent like detailing on the rear. To me the whole line looks good in alt mode. Maybe I can pick him up on sale?

Yeah I do not like the arms or upper area around the head.

I also found the legs a pain in the butt to transform and figure out.

I'm willing to bet he doesn't have him transformed right, considering Hasbro's instructions for the warriors suck. I'll bet there is more to those panels that fold into his back.

I really wish it was the case. The problem with Sideswipe is that the plastic use for his shoulders are very soft so when you attach it to the chest...it will pop off as soon as you touch it. If you have RID Drift, imagine the plastic use for Drift sword but softer and that how some of the plastic feels on Sideswipe. Also, in alt mode, his chest piece drags on the ground so u can't even roll him either smh. He jus feels like a toy I got from the dollar store. Highly disappointed with him.

I was thinking about that so I made sure to go over the figure carefully. Things do peg together but they don't hold. Also those panels next to the head have to be there, rotating them down really pushes the arms out, and up locks the shoulders.

While I fully agree, the idea of fixing toys is more of a recent one sadly. I never had to fix any of my toys when I was younger.

You're absolutely 100% correct. If I had a toy and it broke 9 time out of 10 it was because I was stupid. Depending on the damage most vintage Transformers can be fixed if you know what you're doing. I'm not sure if I can say that about figures released more recently.

I found him yesterday, and I agree with the general sentiment. Car mode is REALLY nice (and the pale kanji makes it look like the car is intentionally bi-coloured rather than paint and plastic being off from one another) but his robot mode doesn't want to quite hold together. It's not as bad as say, Blitzwing; you can move his arms around a bit without his upper body coming apart, but if you try to get any dynamic poses you will be pegging him back together. It just seems as if the designer underestimated how deep the connector pegs would need to be due to the soft oily plastic used.

In short he's a quite reasonable figure to get at retail value, especially if you're trying to get all onscreen characters but don't go mad hunting him down.

Sideswipe can work with a little effort.

First, make sure the chest plate is securely fastened against his sternum.
Second, gently slide the shoulders into place and make sure the tiny pegs are actually sitting in the tiny holes. (This is the hardest part.)
Finally, push the hood piece up against the fenders/collar and it'll force the shoulders to lock in and he becomes poseable.

If you bump the hood loose, however, the whole thing comes apart. (Terrible design.) It also gives him tremendous backpack.

AB32 your optimism is always appreciated. :D
I am sad to hear he is kind of a turd. Probably wont stop me from getting him. I'm a sucker like that.
I will say, I picked up Legion Swipe the other day. He's real fun. If your into that kinda thing. He has really nice leg and feet articulation.(again, for a Legion.)

Yeah I discovered using the backpack works like you said. I find it interesting that thus far the toys of the non main cast have tended to be better. Drift? Phenomenal. Jazz? Perfect.

I think Bumblebee has a nice balance, but he's got some issues, sure.

Grimlock seems to be nice and solid, just wish he had a weapon of some kind.

Shellformery she may be, but I genuinely like transforming Strongarm back and forth. She poses well, too.

Steeljaw makes for a nice villain with that beast mode and poseable tail, but yeah, he's kind of weak in that wave.

Optimus? Don't own. Can't comment.

Drift? Much like Bumblebee, well balanced, but has a nice range of motion. Just wish his legs weren't hollow.

Jazz? SOLID. Fantastic figure!

Sideswipe? Visually appealing, if you transform him a certain way, he works. In anything else, he's kind of a pain. His transformation is too complex for a kids line, his vehicle mode looks kinda ugly, honestly and he can't hold his sword to save his life.

It's like he's an afterthought and they said "Meh, do it."

Sideswipe can hold the sword quite well, the trick is to not push it all the way in, yeah I know that sounds weird.

Huh...I see the notch on the handle now. The thumb rests right in it, yeah. Weird design choice. He's more for posing, than for playing. Jazz, on the other hand, does both.

I was also looking forward to him. Hopefully Hasbro or takara will correct this in later releases. I wont buy him till he is on deep discount simply to not be disappointed in my purchase. The transformation looks great though!

Still can't tell if these are Deluxe or Voyager class robot height toys? :???:

If Fracture is a Voyager class robot, Then i'll buy it. Like the design and colors. Hover bike is very original.

Don't like the Drift design or colors. regardless of size i'm not interested. Robot doesn't seem too articulated. Robot Sculpt and colors remind me of a Power Rangers Zord toy.

The minicons do look interesting in sculpt and gimmick but not very articulated.

Yeah, the minicons definitely look better than the actual deployers themselves. I hope I can get all the minicons individually and not have to buy the bigger two packs to complete the mystery figure you can make with all the clear plastic accessories.

Also, I dont think these are deluxes or voyagers, these are more akin to the megas of the beast war era (like Inferno and Polarclaw).

Also, stop bashing that kid, he's cute and not that creepy (it's the older kids that creep me out). Kudos to him landing this modelling gig and being paid more than any of us for an hour of his time (when he gets work, of course).

And lastly, while sideswipe may not be great, there is a whole bunch of paint and clear plastic usage, reminding me of the previous RID (2001) figures (in a good way). Someone said that Takara's Groove couldnt have been made by Hasbro due to using clear plastic in the deluxe class. Well, with Sideswipe here, I don't think that specific part of the argument holds water anymore.

The deployers look good but I'm disappointed that Drift and Fracture don't come with weapons for themselves.

Not trying to be a wisenhiemer, but one could argue that their deployers ARE their weapons. That said, I agree. Whats Drift without his swords?

These seem smaller than I remember seeing at Toy Fair. Actually kind of relieved, because then they wont take up as much realestate on the shelf.

I was also looking forward to him. Hopefully Hasbro or takara will correct this in later releases. I wont buy him till he is on deep discount simply to not be disappointed in my purchase. The transformation looks great though!


My gripes are he has 5 different shades of red on him, his hair scrapes along the floor and his arms don't peg together well I am glad I am having Jazz my Brother can have Shite swipe. Sorry that was harsh

If Fracture is a Voyager class robot, Then i'll buy it. Like the design and colors. Hover bike is very original.

Don't like the Drift design or colors. regardless of size i'm not interested. Robot doesn't seem too articulated. Robot Sculpt and colors remind me of a Power Rangers Zord toy.

The minicons do look interesting in sculpt and gimmick but not very articulated.



Also, stop bashing that kid, he's cute and not that creepy (it's the older kids that creep me out). Kudos to him landing this modelling gig and being paid more than any of us for an hour of his time (when he gets work, of course).



:shock: Please if your going to post this, clarify that I didn't say it. Others might think it was me bashing the kid.

I didn't bash this kid.

Think it might have been best to quote and reply to others who bashed the kid. ;)
