A recent eBay auction listing has revealed that an upcoming Transformers Hunt for the Decepticons exclusive pack will belong to Target stores.

Sideways Sneek Attack features the ill fated Decepticon in the beginning of Revenge of the Fallen sporting a new paint scheme featuring battle damage similar to the "slicing" he fell victim to at the hands of Sideswipe. The pack also includes the Arcee trio with Chromia and Elita-1.

The auction only gives us a look at the front of the package without any more details on the set. More information on this set and all things Transformers will be coming your way as soon as it becomes available.

The cross-sell on the "Ravage Infiltration" set fetures this. So far I think I am correct in saying that set has only been seen in Euro packaging at Sainsburys stores in the UK, I wonder if this one will be released here too?

Anyone want to buy my Sideways figure from this set?

by **OptiMagnus** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 4:26 pm

Ihope this sees the US. I've wanted scale figures of all three Arcee sisters and a more movie-accurate Sideways. This will complete my ROTF collection if I get all of the other movie figs soon.

Not to mention the true colour of Elita-1!

Oh yes. It's coming!

Very nice. I don't yet own Sideways (I do own Dead End who shares the mold though) so I may very well get this version and I like the Arcee trio there too.

So does this version of Sideways split in half?

:grin:

Should just call these re-paints in a box, sadly im tempted to buy it. Any word on price? If its around $20 it would be a good deal but if its $25 or more its a pass.

Yes ive been so excited for this set, along with the megatron and constructicons set. Cant wait til it hits target. :BOOM:

Unfortunately, no. :sad:

Well, at least it looks like it does. That's a plus!

So who wants my motorcycles? I'll just through them out if no one wants them. Or i would love to just get Sideways on his own. He looks great!

Well, I think it's nice to see a battle damage repaint that's more than just black paint applications for once. I wonder how much of the damage will be visible in the actual robot mode. It would be cool though, if he had a headsculpt similar to the T-1000 figure with the split head!

Looks like I'll have an extra Arcee...

Most excellent. Verily, I too will have an extra Legends Arcee. And this will be my third Deluxe Sideways, you'd think it was a great mold or something.

I do!

No come on, look at it, it's sweet! This is by far the best battle damage we've ever seen. Macgyver hooks Prime should have been painted like this instead of... black spraypaint splotches. At least it's got some detail and looks like they actually tried rather than just putting some stupid marks on it.

I'm sure someone could mod this to break in half. An x-acto razor saw would be a good start, then just fill in the empty parts with styrene and add nub things to hold the halves together. First place at Botcon 2011 art show for sure.

If it's of any help, it's "sister-set", the aforementioned "Ravage Infiltration" was £27 here in the UK. Hasbro always parice as $1(USD)=£1(GBP), so I reckon you are looking at $25-$27.

I thought the purple motorcycle of the Fembots was Flareup, not Elita-1, which still has yet to be released as stated some months ago.

umm sorry can't help it, but it's "SNEAK" not "SNEEK". :-B

You're a bit behind. Elita-1 was first solicited as Flareup, and has been released as a repaint of Chromia. We can only assume the third mold was nixed.

Battle damage paint apps....Hasbro's wprst creation ever. And Sideways does not have a black two-tone paint job in the movie. He is all chrome with a black tint when light hits the paint.

I am interested in the sisters however. are these legends class ??? They are too small to be deluxe. But they look too detailed to be legends. They dont look like happy meal toys.
