Should i get...

Rotf Sideswipe or Rotf Brawn? They're both awesome but I think I might get sideswipe...not sure yet.

Opinions?

Thanks to all in advance.

I'll go with the majority and say get Brawn. Sideswipe transformation is a bit of a hassle and not stable with the wheel feet (the "supports" are no help at all). Sidearm Sideswipe seems to be a better choice, but I wish they'd gone with the blue instead of red.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Since I collected the Human Alliance figures which include a Sideswipe, I didn't bother with the deluxe. Brawn I did pick up and he's pretty darn cool. I would suggest him.

I'd also say Brawn. Or if you really want a Sideswipe like Rabbit said go for Side Arm Sideswipe. Better transformation, more stable robot mode, and the same awesome looking car mode.

If only they had painted him blue, he would have been a great ROTF Tracks. But alas, they gave him the Rebel Alliance deco instead. Though I guess he'll look nice with the Crossovers Luke SkyWalker I have, and he might just fit inside.

Looks like I'm the miniority, but I say get Sideswipe. It is the only RotF figure I thought was worth having, and it isn't bad at all. I agree because of his feet it can be tricky to pose him, but not impossible, but the character and his blades are cool, and he reminds me of BW Depthcharge. You may consider the new version, although it is not screen accurate or doesn't have the blades, I head they were making improvements on the mold for greater stability.

As much as I've seen from Brawn, he is a shellformer.

I like Brawn far more than I though I would, since his back kibble is a little more gangly than I normally like. From the front and sides he looks like a bad mo-fo. The transformation is nifty also. I very good toy.

The new Sideswipe mold looks cheap and bad to me compared to the first version. I would like to attach the new style feet to the old mold.

I'd say Brawn.

Sideswipe's fine, but I kind of wish I'd never transformed him from alt mode. For some reason, the back of the car(where his head hides under) doesn't want to lock in place and so his alt mode looks like he's driving around with the trunk open.
