Entertainment Earth has listed the new pre-order for Black version of Human Alliance Sideswipe with Mikaela.
This version of Sideswipe is spotted with black colour repaint, especially in the vehicle mode. However, in the robot mode it is not entirely black.
The human sidekick - Mikaela is also a new figure.

This set is scheduled to be released in September 2010.

Got the original so pass. Also, why do I want to say "ooohhh yeah! snap into a slimjim!" when I look at that Mikaela?

You know, considering this is the same company that makes GI Joe figures and Star Wars figures and any number in the past of human type figures... you'd "think" they'd have more experience in this area :???:

Lovely alt mode, severely retarded bot mode. I might pick this up if Taktom fix this, though.

Very unnecessary recolor.

They could have gone with red and done Swerve like the Deluxe version and at least had a new character.

Face is fugly, gold plastic is fugly, human is fugly.
The car mode and the black is good though. :roll:

I will need it. Sounds like if it is findable, it will probably get to clearance at some point.

It's sad and funny at the same time, that Hasbro doesn't know how to properly transform its own toys. HA Sideswipe is not a horrible figure as it looks here. Not great, but know horrible either. In this redeco they could've used less silver thought. Black with silver accents might have looked better IMHO.

Screw these damned repaints Hasbro. Just do your damned jobs and get HA Mudflap distributed properly!

Forgive my smartassiness, but isn't Mudflap more or less a repaint?

Yeah, yeah...it's more than just a repaint, but close enough to be a smartass about it.

I was really hoping the HA line would be safe from repaints... :-(

Win, win, win, super win! Man black looks so sweet. Dont really like the brown on his ankles in bot mode but he wont be in bot mode. Now if they did a G1 repaint for H.A. Jazz my life would be complete.

You can't do that. I've got the trademark on that on this site...

Don't know why they didn't use this color scheme for the deluxe pistoleer Sideswipe and just made a completely different human alliance character with this one.

laughing like I just got shot with Joker Venom, it's that funny that they think lots of people will pay money for that.

That's because a lot of people will. Just like the cash cow Bumblebee. How many BBs do we really need before we've had enough?

ah well, I suppose, whatever floats their boat. I personally would only buy that thing if it came with a free hour with the real Megan Fox, and even then I'd see if there was anything better on offer. (okay, that last part was a lie)

I can see being put off when you think the repaint looks better than the first release and you don't want to buy the mold again, but outside of that, who cares? If you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em...problem solved.

Pass on this. They need to put Mudflap in this line. I still need him. I don't care if he is repainted as "tuner Mudflap" or w/e.. just put him in the HFTD HA line.

Also Sideways and Jolt would be cool...

Re: Black Human Alliance Sideswipe & Mikaela (1118287)
Posted by farbeyondmetal on August 27th, 2010 @ 2:52pm CDT

that is awful.
a completely irrelevant and unnecessary repaint, especially when people are paying 50 dollars plus on the secondary market for mudflap, one of the least popular characters in the film.
repaint that one and get him properly distributed.
:BOOM:

Re: Black Human Alliance Sideswipe & Mikaela (1118294)
Posted by Baha08 on August 27th, 2010 @ 3:17pm CDT

They should had made a Human Alliance Sideways and Jolt instead. I mean you only really have Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Skids, Mudflap, Jazz, Jolt for Autobot cars and Barricade, and Sideways for Decepticon cars and that's a good 8 Human Alliance figures and 8 humans (Toss Leo for Jolt and Alice for Sideways) and boom you got a perfexct number of bots until TF3

Although I already own the Mikaela figure, I may consider buying this, since I don't own this mold. Current count of HA figures: 2. Names; Bumblebee w/ Sam, and Skidz w/ Mikaela. That's right, only own 2 HA figures. :lol:

I can't find barricade and the twins are kinda dumb to me, but they are nice, just do t like the character. I have the first bb and sideswipe an intend on getting jazz soon, or his eventual G1 repaint. So yeah, w for me as of now as well.

Not digging the bot mode. The human characters all get stored, so new mold Mikaela means less than nothing to me. I understand the need for repaints in any line they do but this is a pass for me. I could get behind a red repaint here, not this though.

Posted by Blurrz on August 27th, 2010 @ 7:05pm CDT

I wish he was alot more black in robot mode, but I for one - really love the character of Sideswipe. And I never picked up the original, so this one's for me. And I love Black repaints

We went 6 molds before the first repaint. Be happy.

That's just horrendous. Gotta adapt man - Mudflap is overstocked in Canada buddy. Send out a call in the forums or something.

The worst HA figure.. so lets make more of him! Oh yeah, that works.

Seriously? Like really and truly? OK, here it is then! Any Canadians here willing to buy and ship me a HA Mudflap? I'll pay for shipping and the toy plus 10% for gas!

I only got the barricade/frenzy set and that was on a chance encounter... and considering I also have the "first encounters" barricade set.. Im good for this area

I'm a major RotF Sideswipe lover, but I think this toy kinda sucks. Way too much kibble and not enough articulation. The Black kinda looks dull too. A definite pass for me.

Yeah, my area had a whole slew of them. Now that well seems to have dried up and we have tons of Jazzs now. Not digging the prices here though, $40 - $50 is a bit too steep for me to really buy these guys. I would totally dig Jolt though, I don't think the deluxe mold does his design justice.
