I remember having a G1 sideswipe toy as a kid and I had no idea that it was an old toy, I just thought it was a cool figure since I couldn’t really distinguish the difference between older and newer figures as a 4 year old.

[@blakesfilms2005]

Legend has it that Bumblebee is still waiting for the surprise

[@georgejcox9241]

I am SOOO shocked at that news.

[@ProcyonDei]

:(

[@treytheeeehman5514]

“Happy sparkday to bee. Happy sparkday to bee”

[@CoolZack94]

I wonder if bumblebee ever got his party

[@georgejcox9241]

Some how I don't think so.

[@karma8961]

I felt bad for him so much

[@nogame.metakethrone.3007]

Your whole perspective on Sideswipe changes when you find out his original voice actor was Handy Smurf. And Scraper.

[@darthdmc]

Michael Bell did a load of G1 characters - Swoop, Scrapper, Prowl, Sideswipe, and Brainstorm, etc.

[@aaronbaker5887]

Michael Bell is the voice actor who played Sideswipe.

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

He was also Duke on G.I Joe!

[@georgejcox9241]

I think he one of the G1's that look's like his G1 cartoon look.

Him and Jazz

[@georgejcox9241]

@@silhouettoofaman2935 Have A look at his review from last week I think ?

[@frankforttheorangee2produc110]

I always thought the g1 toys transformations and robot modes were a little bit clockwise,, the bad kind of clockwise

[@georgejcox9241]

@@frankforttheorangee2produc110 I don't know what you mean sorry.

[@ratbat1072]

The season 2 characters are more accurate

[@mwo79]

Omg, is Sideswipe the only Autobot Prime likes? And I’m not counting Omega, Prime is afraid of a Omega, thus gives him respect.

[@shoken4421]

Well like is a strong word. i think he likes any bot that he feels can protect his pizza bagels.

[@Fenris30]

Prime and Sideswipe are of two minds. It's a Red guy thing...You wouldn't understand.

[@shoken4421]

@@Fenris30 riiiight like prime didnt ask redbull to watch a human China factory knowing his alt mode is a bull 😳

[@epicphantom589]

But then why did Prime throw him all those times?

[@ThomasJH268]

Sideswipe was my first Transformer EVER. I thought Lamborghinis were so cool to look at

[@JoybuzzerX]

He was my first transformer.

[@jayakalyani9603]

Mine was bumblebee

[@backtothefutureman1]

Mine was cannonball from Transformers Cybertron.

[@ronnyclayton194]

Mine was shockwave or grapple,cant remember for sure been 35yrs I was only 5.

[@khubbert5998]

Mine as well

[@foxgamer1737]

Mine was old g1 optimus primal.

[@GhostRider-870]

Got him for Christmas 1984. My first TRANSFORMER!!😍

[@FOCS27]

Great review as always! Please keep the Friday G1 Fun Days going, I always wait for this time of the week to see which one you do next. 😊

[@RedX_100]

Earlier this year I went to a toy show and found this guy in a Ziploc baggy with a complete sticker sheet. I missed my chance on it...

[@SovereignKnight74]

Thank you for this channel. You bring nostalgia, humor and entertainment. This ol' Boomer appreciates it! As a kid I only owned G1 Prime, Tracks,G1 Bumblebee,Jump Starter Topspin and Target Master Sure Shot. Those are all long gone. In 2004 I saw Masterpiece Prime, MP-01 and I thought that was the end of it. It's still sealed in an unopened box. I tried to get my hands on a G1 Jetfire. I wanted one of those for a long time. Sadly, I can not find a decent condition one worth buying. In 2015 I found Leader Class Jetfire. He reminded me allot of G1. I made sure I picked up the Takara non red chrome version. Then a couple years later I added Generations Cliffjumper to the mix. (G1 Head) I had to pick him up because I'm a huge fan of the Dodge Challenger. This year I pulled the trigger on Siege Jetfire. I could not resist. His G1 cartoon look is undeniable. Now I've been bitten by the "Siege" bug and I can't stop adding Siege figures to my new collection. It reminds me so much of the G1 days. They are the closest we'll ever get to a modern take on G1. Only problem for me is, It's getting really expensive. I buy all my figures in pairs so they can be displayed in robot and alt mode. I'm a little late to the "Siege" game and I am having to pay higher than retail prices. :( Omega Supreme is a tall order, especially if I want two of them. I'll have to pass. Certain "Siege" figures I can't touch. To buy two of them would be crazy expensive. Take Astrotrain and Shockwave for example. Oh well. I'll get as many of them as I can. I won't bother with the "Earthrise" line as I find it more interesting to have them in their Cybertronian forms. All the G1 stuff was Earth based so I'll start over with "Siege". Wonder where the hell Siege Bumblebee and Cliffjumper is at? Not even a Siege Wheeljack yet...

[@TurboSax]

For this figure, I'd swipe right.

[@kabelguy70]

Hey Emgo, did you know that Sideswipe and Sunstreaker originally had opposite molds?

[@YeaMits]

and that’s how tigertrack and Spinout were made

[@Thunderwing88]

Rest in peace Denny O’Neil, good sir. Namer of Optimus Prime. So, do you recall what version you have? Since yours has no rub symbol and a firing missile. My newest one is the 2001 e-Hobby with rubsign/firing missile.

[@rockys201]

I live for those awesome skits at the very end, lol

[@robertomarin978]

Hey! That was mean to Bumblebee! How dare you stump the poor kid on his own Spark day?! It's cruel. It's heartless. It's despicable! I WANT MORE!!!!

[@Georgeiscool2]

I found him and a g1 jetfire at my grandmother's when we cleaned her house out

[@Huevito847]

Some say that bumblebee is still waiting for them to jump and yell surprise

[@grantman5148]

And two sideswipes in one week!

[@georgejcox9241]

New and old nice.

[@vpotter2010]

EmGo... please make a video showing us your repair techniques for fixing TF issues such as loose ports, stress marks, etc. Perhaps "EmGo's ER"

[@chrisropherhendricks6090]

He was one of my first. I got him for xmas with hound, wheeljack, and soundwave.

[@grantman5148]

I love G1 Friday’s emgo

[@twistederror]

Lets call it emgo's G1day

[@stevenrichardson1838]

Happy Sparkday, Bumblebee.

[@shawn6860]

Happy G1 Friday ALL! Hope you are reasonably safe and happy.

[@ejhproductions1]

That’s ok Emgo. We all have empty containers of antibacterial wipes right now...

[@rip_megatron1016]

Coolest video ever let mascot do a g1 review I would love to see it

[@Mad-Trauma]

I can always appreciate how simple these G1 bots are.

[@kirakingu7993]

Dude your gaming channel was awesome bring it back so many people are waiting

[@emgo316]

It’s done. I don’t have time for it, that’s why I stopped. Sorry

[@alphatrion100]

Still have this. One of my favorites

[@ronnyclayton194]

Never seen this one as a kid but he looks great for a g1 1984 figure,most of them looked nothing like their animated charachters in robot form.

[@kkierantransformers1]

Late Comment but, this week has Been pretty much a Sideswipe week, First the Upgrade Kit of Siege Sideswipe, Then the T-Beast Sideswipe Generation Toys put out, and now G1 Sideswipe

[@jesse-roseartufel3441]

I just have to say thank you. My son is 5 yrs old and has autism. If you know anything about autism you know it's common for them to have an extreem and often life absorbing obsession. My sons is transformers and your videos. He's not so much into the cartoons but the actual transformation and joints etc. He also loves your funny skits. I never see him so engaged as when he's watching your videos. So thank you. He's gifted and and builds his own out of Lego, that actually transform!!!! I'm glad he has your videos, that aren't aimed at toddler but adult level and yet are perfectly safe for him to watch. I'm sure gus is your biggest fan, he's been watching your videos since he was 2 and now he will be 6 on the 30th of this month. When asked what he wants to do for his birthday he says, watch your videos all day. And I'm to buy him your merch? Lol Thank you again, all the way from Melbourne Australia. Your amazing.

[@emgo316]

Thank you very much! Tell your son I said hi 😃👍

[@jesse-roseartufel3441]

And you reply has made his day!!!!

[@lgz2006]

It looks so glorious...😍

[@RHM087]

My G1 Sideswipe happens to be the Commemorative Series VIII one (which was apparently tricky to find); the big differences are his eyes are painted blue, his missile launcher doesn't fire, and the Lamborghini logo is replaced by a star and "COUNTACH" with a silver plate. Also, it has a rubsign on the right bottom of the hood piece, right next to the head in vehicle mode. For some reason, I never knew about the double hinge on his window...

[@Freddyfan1428]

"... I can wait..." *Keeps waiting and waiting...* Although speaking of waiting... any ideas if we'll get more "Mascot Reviews" vids? Not that anyone's ever getting tired of you, EmGo, I'm just wondering if you'll be giving the little guy a chance to host a full video again! Thanks for giving us these blasts from the past! My nostalgia haz a happy! :-D

[@emgo316]

Mascot reviews happen when the inspiration strikes. Can’t force it.

[@Freddyfan1428]

@@emgo316 Sounds good to me. Looking forward to your next review (and the return of the BLOOOOOOOOSH! ;-) )

This was always my favourite g1 transformers

[@icyhugs]

G1 Sideswipe, still the MOST HANDSOME Autobot toy

[@gpgp01]

The robot mode is like a supplement for whom wanted to buy both car and robot toys but was allowed just one.

[@SuperThunderbrain]

Ah, the Lamborghini Countach. I love this alt mode.

[@bahiyakurdi]

It’s like you’re obsessed with sideswipe

[@FakeJake5843]

The transformers reviews are my favorite

[@daverage4729]

G1 Sideswipe...This guy was the first Transformer I 'ever' wanted, yet never got (damn you local toy stores!) Still, I got the Siege version...over 30 years later and he looks great. Better later than never! ;)

[@NinAmuro57]

Sideswipe is hands down one of the best G1 toys in my opinion.

[@decepticonleadermegatron5239]

Sideswipe was my first Siege Netflix transformer

[@grantman5148]

Am I the only one who watches the whole thing plus the end skit?

Those are funny by the way(spark day is a good one emgo)

Me too

[@georgejcox9241]

I do. That why I watch his reviews. And Mascots reviews too.

i feel so bad for bee

Awww poor bee at the end

[@KnightsRealm98]

Sad. No rub symbol. No annoying the trolls and entertaining the rest of us (well, me at least) by rubbing it incessantly. There is nothing left to live for.... Seriously though, this one looks surprisingly good for a G1 figure.

What is the least ridiculous look g1 toy

My little brother has that G1 Sideswipe complete figure.

[@sentairider3545]

Hey emgo I have three questions for you 1. why do you always say gunmetal. 2.why do you always say the rider can but instead using that you get the daikaiser instead. 3.on your just transformed videos you can point out where there's problems in the transformation.

[@emgo316]

1. Gunmetal is a color 2. The rider can has more character 3. Any problems in the transformation are blatantly obvious

[@jbrecken]

Could that old G1 weapon bloosh?
