Cybertron Sideways (Random Review)

[@Phantom9252]

I want more Sideways, if only to make TFWiki cry.

[@DarkdustDragon]

"In WHAT dimension could this guy pass for an Autobot?!| ..."Shattered Glass???"

[@twilight_phantom2969]

beast machines

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

Alex Dalton Also RiD (2001); he reminds me a bit of Nightcruz (granted, toy only character that was actually a redecoed Vehicon).

[@SamuraiEchidna]

DarkdustDragon I said the same thing!

[@DaPopeANata]

DarkdustDragon Transtech maybe? Shattered Glass works too. They did repurpose one of this toy's remolds as Shattered Glass Scourge.

[@DarkdustDragon]

DaPopeANata Transtech works too, never would have thought of that.

[@duskbringer4583]

"Does he look like Autobot to you?" ...Dunno, does Jetfire?

[@ECtransformertoysOffical]

Maybe looks were deceiving with this guy I’ve seen an autobot look menacing

[@malusignatius]

A nice little feature of that Sideways model is the light piping in his head, it's possibly the most effective light piping I've seen in a Transformers toy. Pretty much any lighting behind him makes his visor glow malevolently.

[@alexmai8453]

While we're on the subject of Cybertron, what do you think about Cybertron Soundwave? I always thought he was cool looking.

[@LiamDyC]

"He's trippin' cuz he got served."

[@arnelanat3578]

​@@LiamDyCsoundwave roasting megatron after loosing is kinda crazy because most of the other transformers universe souundwave is very loyal

[@King-cp2by]

I remember when my uncle gave this figure to me as a kid and I thought it was the coolest thing ever to have a transformer that wasn't Autobot or Decpticon

[@MadDemon64]

I didn't see Prime Soundwave when I looked at his face. I saw Ultron.

[@lamaduckie932]

MadDemon64 yeah I see it his visor is like ultrons mouth

[@doomslayerprime9749]

I'm surprised that we didn't get a marvels Transformers crossover Ultron

[@AustinBitikofer]

Whoa, just realized with his wings in the same hand as a double blade he looks like Movie Sentinel Prime.... O.O

[@nemesisbloodryche22]

Okay seriously, I thought that in the show he used the Cyberkey to BECOME an Autobot

[@sonerec725]

is it just me or does his head look like classic ultron doing his best bat impression

[@BelleUmbra]

Finaly, TJ reviews one of the toys i owned as a kid and its NOT on plastic addict :D

[@LetsPlaysFTW1]

The description (with the whole "I'm TOTALLY on your side again!") reminded me of a scene from the Jungle Planet arc of Cybertron where the Autobots and Decepticons were playing Keep-Away with the Jungle Planet Key. Vector Prime went after Sideways, and Sideways basically went, "Dude, I'm a double agent, I'm totally working to destroy Megatron from the inside." Vector Prime basically went, "Oh, cool, thanks!" And finally, Sideways went, "haha lol you totally fell for that" and ran away cackling. It was a bizarre scene.

[@arnelanat3578]

I thought vector prime knew better since he travels through time and space

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

Actually, this was how it went down: After Sideways revealed his warping ability to Vector Prime, he switched to his Autobot symbol in order to trick the latter's Mini-Con Safeguard into leaving him alone before switching back to his Decepticon symbol to snatch what he thought was the box containing the Jungle Planet Key from Vector Prime. As sneaky as that play was, it was ultimately all for nothing, as the box that Sideways took from Vector Prime was a dud box that contained a rock.

[@jacob810]

That face looks a lot like Ultron. I know the mouth isn't a mouth, but the point still stands.

[@lamaduckie932]

Copper yeah it does look a lot like ultron

[@Godzillamikey1337]

Finally, a Transformer you reviewed that I owned. I used to love this guy, but I was about five and didn't know what his vehicle mode looked like. I don't know what happened to him, but his weapons do tend to show up in my Lego box sometimes

[@Fluffkitscripts]

Ah, I think I get it. Since he wears his gimmicks on his arm, he gets to maintain full articulation.

[@jaredjameson3707]

I love this design so much, especially dem legs tho 👀. Gives me animated vibes

[@Blarghasaur]

One of my favorite deluxes of all time! So glad you reviewed this guy. Love the character and his toys, but this one is easily the best he got. It's too bad he hasn't received much love in the toy or fiction department in the past decade.

[@carnut015]

His wing "bow" reminds me of Kamen Rider Chalice's blade/bow weapon that would later be evolved into the Sonic Arrow weapon in Kamen Rider Giam.

[@scififanc3940]

Awesome figure & review!

[@cyberdude4]

How about Cybertron Soundwave?

[@AustinBitikofer]

Or since he does repaints often in the Random Reviews he could do the Autobot Blaster repaint from th Cybertron Soundwave

[@hotdogfingerz9674]

he'd pass as an autobot in shattered glass

[@thedesucomplex4365]

I like this a bunch! I still have my copy in a storage bin somewhere, missing a hand and a blade. I really need to get him fixed up so I can have him standing proudly again.

[@DragonxFlutter]

DUUUUUUUUDE! I always wanted this as a kid!

[@mechanwhal6590]

I love how each version of Sideways looks completely different. He's not exactly about consistency.

[@bruhfeld9600]

I remember I had the Ratbat repaint of this guy when I was younger and always thought he was a weird version of Shockwave

[@TonyTama]

Atheon (Destiny) and Ultron ( Marvel comics version) had a child!!! awesome toy. Heading to an old toy shop today so hoping i may see him or other unique Transformers.

[@ripperman25]

His head is actually really similar to marvels Ultron, i cant stop seeing it now.

[@gyrrakavian]

"Kind of like a Batleth." Except it's arguably more functional than a Batleth. Not much more though, being that the giant blade is meant for one hand. The Klingon Mek'leth with a proper grip is MUCH more functional than either (wrapping a bit of leather around the metal handle doesn't count).

[@RKStrikerJK5]

I actually got this off my Unicron Trilogy shelves to play with for this video. :D He really is crazy-awesome.

[@AshelehsA]

"What dimension could this guy pass as an Autobot?" Shattered Glass.........

[@LordVanOskuro]

***** SG Ravage was adorable.

[@Eucep]

Will say, never looked at his face like that, those nubs on the head, thought those were intended as his eyes and down below a freaky mouth.

[@alexmadrid4062]

10:20 He could pass as a autobot from shattered class since their roles are reversed.

[@EmmanuelMarin07]

Great review! :D Remember how you reviewed Sky Lynx (the Predicon Rising one) ?Maybe you can review his buddy, Darksteel? Please? ^^"

[@Shadowechokat]

11:09 Actually, Sideways did shoot a laser from that shield. It was in the part where Sideways battles Optimus and Wingsaber.

[@tracytron7162]

The alt-mode kinda reminds me of ROTF The Fallen crossed with TFP Megatron

[@jakeberry9532]

my favorite transformer of all time. prime Soundwave makes a close second

[@ScarHydreigon87]

I loved this guy in the show

[@ecyor0]

Yeah, he didn't do the whole "double agent" thing well in Cybertron... "Hey guys, I'm totally an autobot. Psych! I stabbed you in the obliques with my sword! Laters ya schmucks, I'm off to be pals with the decepticons now!"

[@DrenobiumOrchid]

Would you consider reviewing Sideway's partner, Cybertron Soundwave?

[@allenusison3124]

So... Planet X is Unicron. Kinda like how Mr. X is Dr. Wily back in Mega Man.

[@WilliamAmbervein]

This was my favorite toy

[@NerdyTransformed]

I want the Ratbat repaint of this

[@DarkSilverHedgehog]

Extremely dumb question, but what happens if you insert the Cyber Key while in Vehicle MOde and the shield spike weapon thing is still recessed into the top of the stealth bomber?

[@KingKongaro]

always wish i could've gotten this guy....now i'll never be able to afford the bastard

[@tonamcbuna3935]

more Cybertron plz

[@LanceTheAutobot]

Okay this figure is going on my Bucket list :)

[@mrheroprimes]

this model was used for Transformers Botcon 2009 Scourge

[@wewyllenium]

Im sad. i cant find this toy anywhere. I kept passing up on the mold back then.

[@samuelmaly7717]

Sideways is the creator of leg day

[@duskbringer4583]

Cybertron Sideways was honestly... A bit better than Armada one. Also, I think reason his Cyber Key thing is a blade as well, as he tends to warp close and warp as fast away after hitting.. : I

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

HOLY!!! Damn! That's a beautiful figure!

[@companylovesmisery1463]

I too like this figure, engineering/ details/ design are all good- for the most part. Meh... I don't know. The inky shade of black, nice dark gold, shiny yet muted silver, and then... Circus Peanut orange blaring out from his forearms and especially his waist. It doesn't match the rest of his aesthetic to me. Still, I like the alien stealth vehicle look of the alt mode and the head sculpt of the robot mode.

[@theterrorofdeath8907]

Hey TJ do you think you do Transformers masterpiece week or month I would like you your opinion on several of figures one of your biggest fans Daniel

[@shaldurprime7154]

the wings have a similar shape, to transformers prime megatron's wings, and they also become part of the legs, same as megatron

[@creepergaming2920]

11:09 I thought the same thing

[@ChaseWD]

What is your po box I made you a custom and I don know where to send it

[@overload81]

why do you think the crossbow weapon makes no sense in vehiclemode?

[@thundercat2000ca]

I think I still have him...

[@periclod1877]

Did the bots from planet x later make foc toys?

[@scizorlord5126]

Peri clod Dammit, that's actually kinda funny.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Wait a minute, there is Unicron Trilogy, then there may be the Prime Trilogy?!?

[@AustinBitikofer]

Considering the 2015 Robots In Disguise show is a continuation of Prime, yes, seems they might go down that route. :)

[@slyder5597]

can you review cybertron unicron?

[@AoiKaze2000]

That transformation reminds me of something out of Macross or RoboTech... Does it have a Gerwalk mode? =D

[@AustinBitikofer]

It does ;)

[@XthegreatwhyX]

If this was bigger, i'd try to get one at any cost. Does anyone know if there's an oversized KO version of him?

[@AustinBitikofer]

Its harder to find oversized figures these days but who knows, there might be one somewhere

[@cubesolver64]

Can you do Cybertron Crosswise.

[@subjectdelta7210]

I miss my one. Broken

[@kevinvan210]

I thought HotShot was the most favorite deluxe

[@krimsonklaww611]

I think in vehicle mode, the gimmick is supposed to be a lazer bow.

[@hibikikujira6427]

In the show it actually just makes him faster so he can disappear and reappear.

[@sambutler953]

Hey TJ? I was reading some other comments and I was just thinking; In your opinion, which is worse? GPS or Potus Manus?

[@austincrisp9829]

I bet someone repainted this into Senator RatBat. If not, you know what to do.

[@TJOmega]

They don't have to, Hasbro released it as Ratbat.

[@austincrisp9829]

@@TJOmega Well then, I wonder how this figure would do as a Wingthing repaint.

[@marshyjoejack8049]

Loved this toy but looking at it from the outside the body proportions are off.

[@TheOneTrueGoose]

if you look at the small holes at the top of the head he kinda looks like a demonic ultron

[@SuperRockman30]

000 standing by complete ooops sorry wrong franchise

[@UrluckUR]

He has eyes. Note the two raised nubs above the translucent orange. It's not a visor, its his gaping, flaming, mouth. Or not. Maybe it is a visor. But try scrubbing that image out of your brain now.

[@minestrosityprime9682]

That all forgot

[@Nytrusdeathcyde]

while I like me how it looks... ign says 6.5 too much orange lol sorry I had to

[@DaPopeANata]

This might not be the best place to ask this, but considering it's relevant to one commenter here, is there a way to inform commenters that their questions are hard to answer when the reply function of their comment is apparently disabled? This is not the first time I've seen this happen. Are these people aware nobody can reply to them?

[@robertkenny1201]

He looks a little bit like Shockwave in my opinion.

[@SlurpeeTheUnholy]

I forget, have you already reviewed Cybertron Scourge? Far as I can tell, he's basically RiD Scourge done correctly.

[@TJOmega]

+Slurpee the Great Uh, Scourge in Cybertron was a dragon, not at all RID Scourge... and there's not even a Nemesis Prime in Cybertron so I'm not sure who you mean.

[@SlurpeeTheUnholy]

TJOmega Sorry, I meant RiD Bruticus.

[@DrenobiumOrchid]

technically there was, but it was essentially a repaint of LeoBreaker to match Megatron/Galvatron's color scheme.

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

Which is worse for a Transformer to have: Potus Manus Syndrome or Splitting Groin Syndrome?

[@ecyor0]

Buzzing Sign Diner Potus Manus. A split groin is generally unrecognisable as such.

[@DaPopeANata]

Wandering Bishop Plus split groin can lead to interesting and creative transformations, whereas Potus Manus is usually simply unfortunate and/or lazy design.

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

DaPopeANata True about what you said about the Potus Manus bit.

[@jonfoy6477]

Unicron disliked.

[@starsaber8969]

lets say second

[@Waynedejong1]

I don't know, now I kind of see eyes and a large gaping mouth...
