How odd; those are the Side Swipe and Daytonus moulds. If these are genuine, then why would they be sealed onto High Beam's card?

AH, these molds are crap, but the sheer rarity makes them so sweet!

I love the lack if variation on the cards. Did they make it past testing? I can't recall if G2 started flaking on backing cards.

More than likely they are sales samples.

I wonder if this guy knew what he had? He doesn't say anything other than the carded name. Bet he is shocked at the price.

The 1st one is obviously the Daytonus mold, but the second one is NOT the Sideswipe mold. It looks like a C5 Corvette? Is that what it is? If so, that hasn't been released before to my knowledge.

That is the side swipe mold. The only thing is that the front looks more rounded. The back is the same as is the doors.

I do not think he knew what he had but I am sure that he knows now. Just waiting to see what they end at. I would bid on them but those black marked numbers at the bottom of the cards really irks me.

They look uncannily like AFX slot cars...

Ack. I was thinking G2 Gobots Sideswipe (one word) not the RiD Spychanger Side Swipe (two words). You guys are correct.

Oh if I had the money, they would so be mine.

Yeah, seller is totally obvlious. Selling some other generic G2 gobot cards in other auctions. I love the one on the right. "Vinny's Pizza." Hmm... I wonder what the "in joke" is behind that?

Side Swipe is a Pro Stock version of the mid 1990's Camaro. The taillights look Corvette-ish, but the front end tells the tale.

Apparently to poorly-named "Daytonus" mold isn't selling as well as the hard-to-see-his-face Side Swipe mold. I wonder if the first version has that same hood-won't-fold-down-right problem as the RiD 1st edition. (The RiD Tiny Tins version doesn't have this screw-up.)

That's just sick... I think I'll go puke. I hope one day I have hundreds of dollars to be able to blow on a 3 inch long transformer.

Can't wait until the inevitable G2 Motormaster or Hotspot finally arrives on Ebay.

The bidding frenzy will be unprecedented.
