ROTF Sideswipe Toy Revealed

Postby DevastaTTor » Mon Feb 09, 2009 7:39 am

Yizhi521 and the TF02.net boards also bring us our first look at the upcoming ROTF Sideswipe toys. Although it's just an image of the alt. mode, it appears that it's already metallic to begin with, a big step ahead of many of the first release figures from the first movie. To see the image, click the link below:

looks cool. i hope he has the manual like for the fallen figure so we can confirm it is in fact sideswipe. he's my favorite character and i don't want to get my hopes up of him being in the movie if there's even the slightest chance of it being false.

He's definitely in the movie, it's just a matter of confirming the name. It's about 90% that he's Sideswipe. Safe money is that it is.

That is one beautiful piece of work! The split rear window is awsome (just like the "original") and every picture I have seen of this vehicle in RL makes me drool. I can't wait to see more pics. of this toy and to actually get my hands on one. Good Job Chevy and way to go Hasbro/Takara.

Now there's 3 deluxe class figures on my "Absolutely Must Own" list.
Movie Soundwave, Drift and Movie Sideswipe. Added to the others from the last few months, this list could be quite huge (and my wallet quite dry) by summers end.

So for the repaint, do they go with red for a G1 Sideswipe, or blue for Tracks? Place your bets!

Good point. I suppose the real bet has to be on whether they go for a fourth repaint and do Sunstreaker. You can't have Sideswipe without Sunstreaker...

Target will have the exclusive red G1 Sideswipe repaint and then later in the season we'll see the blue Movie Tracks version released at Wal-Mart!(along with 3 other figures) How's that for fine-tuning a bet! And I'll drop down a Target Scout Class for the both of you if I blow this one. B-)

True.

We'll probably end up with 5 colors:
1 Silver (movie release)
2 Red (G1 Sideswipe or Red Tracks)
3 Blue (Tracks)
4 Yellow (Sunstreaker)
5 Black? (Black tracks- Euro?)

Anyways, which fig is that bigger car next to Sideswipe? It looks like an alternator. If it is, that looks like Rumble from the top. If that is Rumble, most likely it's custom painted right? and wouldn't that drop the credibility a bit whether or not this is legit?

here's a top view of Alternator Rumble

if it's not custom painted and both of these figs are legit then this might mean a Binaltech version of Rumble/Frenzy?

Hasbro Australia says "No", Chris Ryall of IDW reportedly says it is still a go. I'm of the foolish notion that if I wish/hope hard enough, Chris will be right and I'll have a chance of getting this figure. Either way, this Sideswipe figure will be enough to keep me happy until I find out for certain which way the "Drift" issue is going to go. I'm loving this design. This is the one Movie figure so far that has me in awe and I have not even seen clear pics of his robot mode or other views of the car mode yet.

Good Point.
So lets see then:
1 Silver (movie release)
2 Red: Volcano Lava Surge Sideswipe
3 Blue: Sea Trench Hydro Attack Sideswipe
4 Yellow: Egyptian Dessert Sunburst Power Sideswipe
5 Black: Super Secret Night Mission Action Sideswipe

That other car is Alternator Camshaft:

1 Silver (movie release)
2 Red (G1 Sideswipe or Red Tracks)
3 Blue (Tracks)
4 Yellow (Sunstreaker)
5 Black? (Black tracks- Euro?)


I'm not so sure that we are going to see the Sunstreaker repaint treatment for this Movie-verse figure. That got away with it for the Classics/Universe series with Ironhide and Ratchet and they Produced the Sideswipe/Sunstreaker repaints but the movie line is a different creature. With Sunstreaker being one of the original G1 group, a simple re-paint for the ROTF movie line would effectively take a core character off the market for the 3rd movie. (Pissed me off when they did it with Cliffjumper and I know some others weren't too happy as well.) I don't know how much core material the writers are willing to do away with or let Hasbro yank out from under them. Personally, I think it would be doing the character a great disservice. I still purchased the Cliffjumper toy just because the 08 Camaro is such an awsome Alt. mode compared to Cliff and Bee's originals, but I think Sunstreaker deserves his own distinct vehicle mode. If only Lamborghini or Ferrari would go for the whole liscensing aspect that would be cool but I think we are just going to have to hope/look for something else hot and sleek from within the GM family.
Ooohhh, hey! Maybe if they toned down the vain,pretty-boy image and focused more on his ruthless side we could get a new Dodge Charger figure for the 3rd movie. He could still be vain but he would also be bad-ass enough looking to warrant thrashing some 'Con for getting dirt on his finish. He'd also still be plenty fast and watching him and Sideswipe race down a freeway side-by-side would be a cool tribute to the classic rivalry of Sleek and Sporty - vs - Raw Detroit Muscle. Sibling rivalry taken to the next level. :grin:

I can't see Sunny ever going for something as crude as a muscle car. Dude's all about looks and precision. Sure, he'll kick your afterburners, but he'll look good doing it. So I guess he wouldn't fit in with the Movie aesthetic at all. :P

Give me time. I'll find a suitable alt. mode for him. He's got too much attitude to NOT have a shot in the 3rd movie. Hell, Wheelie's in ROTF! Where's the justice in that? :P

Seeing as Audi is part of VW, and VW owns Lamborghini, maybe getting Lambo twins for TF3 isn't totally impossible.
