I noticed his Takara DOTM deluxe Sideswipe is painted silver :-?

Hydrodive Bumblebee was released a year ago.

I didn't keep track, and thought it was permanently canceled. title & post edited to draw attention to the most relevant DOTM pics.

The Takara Prime looks better as more images get posted with its release drawing closer. I'm glad I chose not to get voyager Prime when I had thoughts of getting it...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Yet the final version is unpainted like the Hasbro one.

Backfire makes an awesome weapon. I've got him attached to Sentinel Prime's arm, with his blade being held in the hand of that same arm. It's a wicked combination. And it adds some weight to his front, making it easier to balance him. Add a few MechTech weapons to his shoulders and he's a bad-ass.

Exactly right. I was never so enraged when I took time off work so I could rush down to get him early from the shop when my pre-order arrived, dying to see his 'silver' paintjob, only to find that it was the same prototype crap job on the Hasbro version.

thanks for sharing, awesome pics. feel better than ever about these HA basics. Won't be putting them into weapon mode for larger figs, but there's already plenty of play options for them.
