Is Sideswipe... shiny?

Someone probly buffed him up for the photo session.

Why did whoever taking the pics partially censor the scan ring?

Probably to keep people from scanning these pics.

I wouldn't see why, they only stay unlocked for a day... Probably a request from Hasbro, or simply keeping it safe

For those curious, the stylised 速 on Sideswipe's chest means "quick".

Takara's going to have give Jazz quite an effort to make me interested in his mold. Sideswipe however, looks awesome. Hasbro usually lacks head/tail light paint apps but this time they're present, so I'm curious to see how they could improve him

Funny what happens when the person taking pictures has a little imagination with poses

sideswipe looks great I just hate that head design
not to keen on Jazz all that white makes him look a little on the cheap side

I could see Takara making Sideswipe a much brighter shade of red like his look in the show.

Glad to see Jazz can hold his lance like that.
Sideswipe's feet are cool.

Still looking great the RID line has been very solid so far IMO. I wonder why Sideswipe is so magenta though. Maybe it's just the camera

Dat stare....

I have accepted my new overlord, JAZZ

I've said it before, I'll say it again. When I see these two, they're bought on sight. Gorgeous figures. Absolutely FABULOUS!

I like the sideswipe mold. I really dont care about these animated style renditions of the characters, but I am very interested in who funpub might eventually use the RID molds to homage.

Jazz desperately needs his Visor. That 1000 yard stare is just unnerving. Sideswipe looks very nice in his Anime, ninja, robot design and you cannot go wrong when Anime, Ninja and Robot are used in the same sentence like that.

He does seem to be rocking the Japanese delinquent pompadour style.

Crappy show?


Aside from the first two episodes and the Springload one this show is pretty good.




Better then most of Prime (aside from like 7 episodes mostly thinking of Smokescreen's debut episode)




Why do think its crappy?



(Edit just notice I've been promoted to Gestalt team leader huh)

Jazz look cheap as hell. I have bad FOC flashbacks... Let's see if Takara can save him.

On the other hand, Sideswipe look ultra SEXY! He'll be bought on sight.

I think he just needs some reprolabel stickers and he will look better.




And also a visor but since Jazz barley uses it in the actual show I can somewhat understand why they gave him no visor but regardless its still stupid.

No way in hell will I buy Repros for the RiD deluxes. They already cost 20$+tx and it will cost me another 20$ just for the labels. No way. I do buy Repros, but only for figures that are worth it, like CW Megatron. Why buy Hasbro+Repros when the Takara with premium paint aps cost around 20-25$ shipped?

Just compare the Bumblebees and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm just saying that Repros could fix it.



Not telling you to buy them.

I just replied to buy something that is not broken from the start. Why pay double for Hasbro, when you can have Takara perfection from the get-go for half the price?

I thought Sideswipe's signature thing was having those serrated protrusions on his forearms. Why couldn't the manufacturers incorporate that somehow? This just makes him look like TF Prime Cliffjumper.
