Entertainment Earth has listed the new pre-order for Black version of Human Alliance Sideswipe with Mikaela.
This version of Sideswipe is spotted with black colour repaint, especially in the vehicle mode. However, in the robot mode it is not entirely black.
The human sidekick - Mikaela is also a new figure.

This set is scheduled to be released in September 2010.

Got the original so pass. Also, why do I want to say "ooohhh yeah! snap into a slimjim!" when I look at that Mikaela?

You know, considering this is the same company that makes GI Joe figures and Star Wars figures and any number in the past of human type figures... you'd "think" they'd have more experience in this area :???:

Lovely alt mode, severely retarded bot mode. I might pick this up if Taktom fix this, though.

Very unnecessary recolor.

They could have gone with red and done Swerve like the Deluxe version and at least had a new character.

Face is fugly, gold plastic is fugly, human is fugly.
The car mode and the black is good though. :roll:

I will need it. Sounds like if it is findable, it will probably get to clearance at some point.

It's sad and funny at the same time, that Hasbro doesn't know how to properly transform its own toys. HA Sideswipe is not a horrible figure as it looks here. Not great, but know horrible either. In this redeco they could've used less silver thought. Black with silver accents might have looked better IMHO.

Screw these damned repaints Hasbro. Just do your damned jobs and get HA Mudflap distributed properly!

Forgive my smartassiness, but isn't Mudflap more or less a repaint?

Yeah, yeah...it's more than just a repaint, but close enough to be a smartass about it.

I was really hoping the HA line would be safe from repaints... :-(

Win, win, win, super win! Man black looks so sweet. Dont really like the brown on his ankles in bot mode but he wont be in bot mode. Now if they did a G1 repaint for H.A. Jazz my life would be complete.

You can't do that. I've got the trademark on that on this site...

Quoted for truth. Still haven't managed to find one of them #-o

Don't know why they didn't use this color scheme for the deluxe pistoleer Sideswipe and just made a completely different human alliance character with this one.

Precisely what I was thinking. Honestly though, we shouldn't have expected anything different.

laughing like I just got shot with Joker Venom, it's that funny that they think lots of people will pay money for that.

That's because a lot of people will. Just like the cash cow Bumblebee. How many BBs do we really need before we've had enough?

ah well, I suppose, whatever floats their boat. I personally would only buy that thing if it came with a free hour with the real Megan Fox, and even then I'd see if there was anything better on offer. (okay, that last part was a lie)

I can see being put off when you think the repaint looks better than the first release and you don't want to buy the mold again, but outside of that, who cares? If you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em...problem solved.

by **Tyrannotaur** » Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:07 pm

Pass on this. They need to put Mudflap in this line. I still need him. I don't care if he is repainted as "tuner Mudflap" or w/e.. just put him in the HFTD HA line.

Also Sideways and Jolt would be cool...

by **farbeyondmetal** » Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:52 pm

that is awful.
a completely irrelevant and unnecessary repaint, especially when people are paying 50 dollars plus on the secondary market for mudflap, one of the least popular characters in the film.
repaint that one and get him properly distributed.
:BOOM:
