RID Sideswipe is up for pre order on HTS.



I know he's gotten some bad reviews, but I figured I would share anyway.

I saw him today at a random TRU and he does look really good in person. I didn't pick him up because of the negative press though. I do like his look (except the spikey hair) I'll wait for a sale and leave him in alt mode.

I did however pick up Jazz.

He has bad reviews? That statement just made me realize I don't really watch any 'tubers anymore

Either way, that sucks. I was looking forward to Swipe. I ain't shook thought!

With exception of his hair I think he looks great and I dig his alt mode. I believe it was Chuck who said he doesn't stay together well in robot mode when moving his arms around.

He does have a neat way to store his sword on his back too. I was disappointed to hear he is all fiddly though. Well if the price is right, money talks.

Why the hell aren't we getting any new waves or toys yet? (Apart from Warrior Class Sideswipe ect...& then some bloody repaints of figures we've already had!) coz i've watched nearly all(bar the final episode....still waiting for that one) of season 1...& there's lots of characters in those episodes that we haven't heard of the toy release for yet...like Filch, Springload, Nightscream, Groundpounder, Quillfire, Bisk, Chop Shop, Octopunch, Terrashock, Ped, Hammerstrike, Malodor, Vertebreak, Headlock and Razorpaw.

There are 26 episodes in season 1. 20 have come out, so six still remain.

Ah right, sorry, my bad, thought there were only 21, but enough episodes have passed that there should be MORE toy releases of those characters featured in them by now! & we're still stuck with the same bloody figures that are by now just shelfwarming, they need to get their finger out & release more new ones! coz let's face it....we're now into June....& we still haven't even got the minicon deployers yet! as seen at the Toyfair, so let's hope new figures start arriving soon.

Ok another example....take Bisk for instance.....now he was featured in a very early episode.....and most of the robots(bar maybe one or two...including Bisk) have been released in toy form! so why the hell wasn't Bisk released along with the other figures that were? at the time.

Yeah, your videos are in serious need of views. Have you tried to do some advertizing? I heard a 30 seconds spot on the Super Bowl does wonder!

I gots a very thread hijacky question for ya. Have you ever considered leaving out the transformation in your video reviews or is there a demand for them?

I ask because I saw a little talk about either watching them or skipping them on the CW thread. I've made mention of it myself on the Devastator thread. I personally feel that it spoils/ruins the fun/surprise. Some people use them as instructions and some people feel the same way as I do. I still watch the videos to see both modes and I want general impressions.

It's just something that has came up recently and I was curious what you thought or the feedback you get.

Before anyone answers, I created a thread here.

Is Hasbro assigning the most inept person on staff to design the transformation "instructions" for the warrior figures?


Also, probably unintended 5mm holes on Super Bumblebee:

Holy cow that's a huge bee! How big is he in comparison to Metroplex and combiner wars?

About 5 inches shorter. Here are a few more pics of him if you are curious:

I've seen him a few times in person; impressively large. The sheer size just kinda makes you want one.

I want to say as tall as that monster Rescue Bots OP.

Sorry Chuck! There came a time when I kept tabs on lots of reviewers (but hadn't seen your videos though), but got annoyed with all but two (Thew & Vangelus) because they were heavily influenced by 3P products and were just commercials to me. I'm once again subscribed to pretty much everyone (for news purposes) but still don't really watch anything. Lately it just seems like a time thing

Indeed it does! even though like Chomp & Stop Grimlock.....it's just yet another giant One Step!

Bee is a 3 step, that's like 3 times as good, right? He could also double as a skateboard or romba.

I'd buy a transforming Roomba.

Ah right my mistake, but they're both huge in their own right

If he goes on sale, I'll pick him up for my oldest son. The youngest already has that giant Rescue Bots Optimus.

Has 3 step Steeljaw been reviewed before this?

He hasn't been reviewed yet and still remains unreviewed. I wouldn't count that 3 line blogpost which spends more time talking about the character on the show than the actual toy. If you find a video review please send the link to the contact page accessed from the link in my signature.

That thing looks hideous.

I'm thinking he looks pretty good. In ways he has better paint apps and he face seems a little more show accurate.

He caught my eye in person.
