New Images of Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe Toy

He's definitely in the movie, it's just a matter of confirming the name. It's about 90% that he's Sideswipe. Safe money is that it is.

ok car mode until i see some bot pictures ill post response but until then ill wait.

So for the repaint, do they go with red for a G1 Sideswipe, or blue for Tracks? Place your bets!

Good point. I suppose the real bet has to be on whether they go for a fourth repaint and do Sunstreaker. You can't have Sideswipe without Sunstreaker...

True.

We'll probably end up with 5 colors:
1 Silver (movie release)
2 Red (G1 Sideswipe or Red Tracks)
3 Blue (Tracks)
4 Yellow (Sunstreaker)
5 Black? (Black tracks- Euro?)

I thought there were no forseeable plans for a Drift figure?


Anyways, which fig is that bigger car next to Sideswipe? It looks like an alternator. If it is, that looks like Rumble from the top. If that is Rumble, most likely it's custom painted right? and wouldn't that drop the credibility a bit whether or not this is legit?

here's a top view of Alternator Rumble

if it's not custom painted and both of these figs are legit then this might mean a Binaltech version of Rumble/Frenzy?

Wouldn't that be G2 Sideswipe?

Anyway, the car mode looks really nice. I might just pick him up.

Nah you knwow it will be "Stealth Sideswipe" or "Super Secret Night Mission Action Sideswipe"

Good Point.
So lets see then:
1 Silver (movie release)
2 Red: Volcano Lava Surge Sideswipe
3 Blue: Sea Trench Hydro Attack Sideswipe
4 Yellow: Egyptian Dessert Sunburst Power Sideswipe
5 Black: Super Secret Night Mission Action Sideswipe

I'm not so sure that we are going to see the Sunstreaker repaint treatment for this Movie-verse figure. That got away with it for the Classics/Universe series with Ironhide and Ratchet and they Produced the Sideswipe/Sunstreaker repaints but the movie line is a different creature. With Sunstreaker being one of the original G1 group, a simple re-paint for the ROTF movie line would effectively take a core character off the market for the 3rd movie. (Pissed me off when they did it with Cliffjumper and I know some others weren't too happy as well.) I don't know how much core material the writers are willing to do away with or let Hasbro yank out from under them. Personally, I think it would be doing the character a great disservice. I still purchased the Cliffjumper toy just because the 08 Camaro is such an awsome Alt. mode compared to Cliff and Bee's originals, but I think Sunstreaker deserves his own distinct vehicle mode. If only Lamborghini or Ferrari would go for the whole liscensing aspect that would be cool but I think we are just going to have to hope/look for something else hot and sleek from within the GM family.
Ooohhh, hey! Maybe if they toned down the vain,pretty-boy image and focused more on his ruthless side we could get a new Dodge Charger figure for the 3rd movie. He could still be vain but he would also be bad-ass enough looking to warrant thrashing some 'Con for getting dirt on his finish. He'd also still be plenty fast and watching him and Sideswipe race down a freeway side-by-side would be a cool tribute to the classic rivalry of Sleek and Sporty - vs - Raw Detroit Muscle. Sibling rivalry taken to the next level.

Give me time. I'll find a suitable alt. mode for him. He's got too much attitude to NOT have a shot in the 3rd movie. Hell, Wheelie's in ROTF! Where's the justice in that?
