Dear God, that Lego head looks BETTER than the regular Spike head.

When I saw all that yellow through the dome in the thumbnail, for just a few seconds, I actually thought some error had made Spike blonde, giving us a Marvel-accurate Spike Witwicky head. Now that one potential easy repaint will probably get me to army-build even more with that exo-suit than I was already planning. Here's hoping it peg-warms as bad as Shockwave and Ravage have in most of my local WalMarts.

Hell of an improvement indeed with that Lego head!

Only thing about it is that Marvel Spike never had an exosuit. However, if they replaced the exosuit with a headmaster body, which in turn can actually turn into Cerebros's head, that would be neat. Even if that head can't actually attach to a body. Or if they want to take liberties, have the body turn straight into Fort Max's head. I think it would be small enough to fit a Commander Class Marvel version of Maximus. And of course Zarak and Scorponok wouldn't be far behind. A pipe dream, I know.Bumblevivisector wrote:When I saw all that yellow through the dome in the thumbnail, for just a few seconds, I actually thought some error had made Spike blonde, giving us a Marvel-accurate Spike Witwicky head.

I'm surprised he is showing up already, all of my stores are well stocked with Cores, but they aren't moving yet surprisingly

That doesn't surprise me. The SS cores are of two characters that spent a total of 15 seconds on the screen and only those familiar with G1 would even be aware of.

Fair thought.

Possible Sideways leak. If this is real, I am very excited for him. He seems to be mistransformed, but glad it looks to be his own mold.
Also, that Overload repaint is awesome like usual with you.

Thanks!
Thank you!
So I was in a discussion about Sideways earlier today, here’s some notes from that:
- He is slightly mistransformed, the chest portion with the headlights looks like it can rotate up to be more screen accurate.
- His window wings might be able to slide more centrally, it looks like they’re on sliders.
- His gun is actually based on his gun in the PS2/Wii game!
I think Sideways looks awesome, I can’t wait to get it!
Also, I asked Sam Smith on Instagram about what the reissue of AOE High Octane Bee in Buzzworthy meant for a potential future new mold:

A new image in Discord popped up showing what fans believe to be Transformers Studio Series Sideways. We knew the figure was coming but there was no clue on the robot mode, especially since we never get a good look at it in the film. It appears to be a fully new mold which is intriguing for a character with such short screen time. He did appear in the video games though and his weapon seems based on his PS2 appearance. Now it could be that this toy is to legit, especially since it seems to have rather simplistic engineering for some joints. We'll see. Here are some points brought up on our boards:
- He is slightly mistransformed, the chest portion with the headlights looks like it can rotate up to be more screen accurate.
- His window wings might be able to slide more centrally, it looks like they’re on sliders.
- His gun is actually based on his gun in the PS2/Wii game!

He honestly looks really good to me, at least for a to-scale SS figure to bulk up the movie 'Con ranks. It at least doesn't look as much as a string bean like the past deluxe (to me, that is.)
I'll definitely pick him up, always nice getting more car transformers.

I'm glad I did too, my first one broke after being transformed/combined a few times, the joint that allows the arms to swing outwards from vehicle mode just completely snapped inside

What a weird choice. There was a 360/PS3 version of the ROTF game that I'm certain sold better than the Wii/PS2 version, and Sideways appears in that like he was in the movie (licensed Audi car mode even), WITHOUT a giant arm cannon (I think he had a smaller gun "transform" onto his wrist). Seems like an odd thing to include, given how few people would get the reference.
Rest of the figure looks nice, though. Two-tone and even appears to have the silver stripes down the middle. Hard to tell if that's an Audi logo on the chest, of COURSE there's a shine RIGHT THERE, so hopefully this is actually licensed and we get a fully accurate vehicle mode (the car mode got more screen time than the bot, in this case
).

I will be cautiously optimistic of this actually being a Licensed 2008 Audi R8.
Even the original toy wasn't actually licensed, and we all know how restrictive VW and its associated brands (Porsche, Audi etc...i) have been with their licensing.
I think it will likely just be a somewhat R8 looking car without the Quattro rings.

Sideways’ CG model actually reuses several parts from Barricade, particularly in the legs.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Repaint. Especially Seeker molds.
