sideswipe

[@rellko3900]

Just letting you know, the guns on SS Sideswipe can fit under the roof in both modes, gives it a much cleaner look without doing the “extra exhausts then remove to transform” thing

[@publicprofilename4273]

I knew if the storage you're mentioning, but was like "huh? Well I like that!" When I saw his way, but still good for people to be aware of all options.

[@SilenthunterYT]

Like the backpack of sideswipe ss

[@thatonecollector1776]

Lost one of my guns for my sideswipe I'm really 😥

[@HollowBoy04]

I found that out after I removed the back kibble lol

[@grandmasteryoda6378]

I actually didn’t know of the exhaust method for months and kept in under his hood Bcs to me they looked like seats and made the inside more carlike

[@timcaplinger54]

The DOTM Sideswipe actually got me back into collecting Transformers, found it at a yard sale for cheap. I still think it's a decent transformer

[@Venom-lc7mk]

Even still, it was a disservice of him to use Dotm sideswipe as the comparison instread of Rotf Sideswipe, which is actually silver and shares more similarities with the SS sudeswipe

[@Yeenclave]

What we need now are action master figures of the Bayformer figures that never had alt modes such as The Fallen, Ravage, and Scorponok (probably some others like Shockwave but his studio series is really great)

[@alfianfahmi5430]

Basically just RED figure 😂🤣

[@abloodcorpse3318]

Just love Scorponok's alt mode of "Look, he's standing up now!"

[@mattslicer6765]

​@@abloodcorpse3318he got peets lol

[@Crelix_]

I feel this is a unfair comparison. You should’ve used the best versions of the old figure (battle blade bumblebee and sidearm sideswipe) instead of the worst bumblebee the the wrong sideswipe(I absolutely love the dotm sideswipe)

[@ThatToyGuy]

I used dotm sideswipe cause of the shared engineering, and I used rotf canon bee cause it was the first rotf bee (and battle blades is an hftd toy that I don't have)

[@MisterBurgerBeachball]

@That Toy Guy UHM ACKSHUALLY the first RotF Bumblebee was a direct repaint/retool of 07 Bee with a new head, cannon, and vehicle parts.

[@MisterBurgerBeachball]

Actually I feel a more fair comparison would be with the most "average" versions of each mold instead of the "best". With the vast amount of Bumblebee toys that hit the market back then, the Battle Blades mold was only used twice (the second time being a Japan-only thing in AoE). Whereas the Cannon Bee/07/RotF mold was used a LOT more, to the point of it even showing up in the DotM toyline.

[@Zeggladore]

In his defense, an "old vs. new" comparison between movie toys is a little more complicated compared to something like G1. While *that* had two distinct periods where Hasbro was rebooting practically every character with modern engineering (the late 2000's with Classics & Universe vs. the late 2010's via the Generations line), the movie toys never had that split apart from just comparing Studio Series to whatever toys of the characters existed before. I mean hell, have you *seen* how many Movie Bumblebees there are?

[@Jerome-dc9ey]

Funny story with the sideswipe toy: I buyed it on a Target, and then took the car to the hotel with my family. I was around 8 to 10 years old. What i dos not notice, was that the sideswipe actually fell down and got stuck on the wheel of the car. We rode from Orlando to Miami. And THAT MF STAYED ON THE RIM OF THE WHEEL ALL THE FCKIN WAY.

[@raphaeldagamer]

My issue with the doors on SS46 only came about by me physically removing the door (for whatever godforsaken reason I decided to do that), but the bigger issue was when the pin joint on his bumper snapped. That is irreparable.

[@simunlovrovic5456]

I remember when I had the original DOTM Sideswipe, he was one of my favourite figures ever

[@uainjansun]

Same

[@TheresNoPowers]

Unfair that you didn’t compare to the revenge of the fallen Sideswipe. That figure wasn’t nearly as bland as the DOTM figure and would’ve been a better comparison

[@alfianfahmi5430]

I hope they would retool the SS Sideswipe for Knightverse Arcee's Earth Mode. The profile, the way the feet have wheels, and seeing the possibility for tweaking Sideswipe's shoulder pads to be Arcee's back binders, it would be a bit of a bummer if they didn't do it.

[@ironclaw3000user]

I was thinking they could have used the sidearms sideswipe from HftD as the transformation could be retool to make the backpack issues most arcee have to be compressed into the torso. Tho I'm sure it'll only work if it's upscale, just like the recent Third party mold of the Sidearm Sideswipe from last year.

[@jonathand.4088]

[@T142Animations]

The way the ss74 chest work is amazing, yes, it has fake parts but as long as it makes the figure more accurate it's fine.

[@cesarcasti492]

The thing that wins me over on Cannon Bee is that it has a semblance of an interior. Like the sort of dashboard and seats were cool

[@ShockUzer]

I actually really like that the Studio Series are mostly on scale in robot mode, it's something that was missing from the original toys.

[@Optimusprime809]

Man, I really like the paintwork on the SS ROTF Sideswipe. I have the SS DOTM Sideswipe which had a lot of grey, so I've been customising him and he's looking really awesome now. But the figure itself is honestly perfect I think. The gun storage on the ROTF one is mainly a carry over from the DOTM one, where the exhausts wouldn't exist without the guns being stored there.

[@misaka-esper5818]

The front end of the car for the SS is a huge eye sore the way it's painted, I'm surprised most people are accepting towards it.

[@flatbxtch6141]

i assume not many people cared because no one was really interested in the ROTF version

[@davidm4566]

I just went to the store today and checked out the toys. SS Sideswipe that's on the market now is a glorified, beefy Legends/Core/Scout class. It looks like a dwarf with a tiny head LOL.

[@jaybeematthewbacarro9001]

The best way to put it for this comparison is the first 3 movies knew exactly what they were going for which the first 2 movies experiment with adding variety through different characters and variations on existing sculpts and when the 3rd movie came they down size the scaling yet it tries to find its footing through its gimmicks. Studio Series will definitely be considered as the line that manages to give us brand new sculpts for the movie characters but for people like me there will always be figures from the older movie lines that exist because it was what we had back then. I can agree with everyone here that the comparisons aren’t exactly fair but I do understand that you did whatever you can to make this video possible. I’m looking forward to more of these videos.

[@nedthecow]

I used to have the ROTF sideswipe and I personally love the mold

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

So about a week ago i got a deluxe class 2007 movie bumblebee for around 7 dollars. He's pretty rad. He's not screen accurate at all but his back is not just the roof folding and siting there.

[@Cdr2002]

There’s a Takara Lost Age version of the DOTM Sideswipe I think it looks slick and makes the wonky ass mold for him (and Jolt) actually work

[@superxavxii421]

Cannon Bee was one of my first transformers so I just can't hate him. He's lost and his parts are all over the place, but I loved it as a kid

[@glassjar7814]

The sideswipe from SS is really interesting. After watching reviews I’ve been tempted a few times to grab him when I’ve seen him in the wild. Only reason I haven’t is I won’t have anywhere on my shelves for him. I stuck with the Autobot team from only the first film (the only movie I can rewatch with the most limited cringe) I want to start a line up for the Decepticons from the first movie too but I’m in the process of buying more shelf space

[@thelonewolf2929]

You should get him. Sideswipe is one of the best autobots from the movies

[@multivewer]

I recently got a studio series bumblebee, Ironhide RC and wheel Jack and personally I think that series of who looks pretty good too it's got like the G1 aesthetic but also like live action realistic looking, a couple joints were a little loose on Ironhide and wheeljack but I was able to tighten those up a bit, the RC on the other hand has a little trouble with standing sometimes just because of the way her legs and feet are engineered

[@NovexusNui777]

As someone who had the original DOTM Sideswipe, I still think that figure is on par, but I do wish that Dino was either a heavy Sideswipe remold and retool, or a Bumblebee Remold and retool. I gave this same mindset for other characters, such as Topspin and Roadbuster. Roadbuster should've taken the oh Topspin's transformation scheme just re-engineered, and Topspin? They were better off giving the original deluxe a new movie accurate paint job, guns, and re-realesed it for Studio series, much like how the original DOTM Starscream was polished up for the toyline Edit: for another comparison think you can do the old DOTM wreckers vs. The new SS figures?

[@publicprofilename4273]

The wife got me the studio series Sideswipe yesterday. She did that because I told her that Sideswipe was my very first transformer when I was a kid. Obviously I was talking about the Lambo one, but the thought is awesome. I did tell her about the mix up, but also expressed how cool I thought it was that she'd been that thoughtful. I gotta confess here "certainly not in her presence lol" that I don't particularly care for the figure. All of the points you make about paint apps, and the rear panels being the chest, about the overall look in both modes, yes I agree completely with. Here's the biggest gripe of the couple I've got. Those very same chest/rear quarter panels... Yeah, I've popped at least one off every time I've transformed him, which isn't or 5 times. Have you popped one off and had to reattach it? For poos and fiddles, give it a try. Hint, a cannon is your friend throughout the adventure. Take breaks, and stay hydrated. It's quite a journey. The feet. I love the details in them. Apparently all 4 brake rotors and calipers end up on his ankles. I've already painted my silver with red calipers lol. But the I guess we'll call it heel spur? Doesn't stay in position well at all, and I find myself going to tweak a pose, only to have him fall over and go from a kickass stance, to epileptic seizure, in a half second. The arm blade don't hold the side of the car together well at all, and then the gaps. You, EmGo, myself, and every single other reviewer I've seen with the guy, CANNOT get rid of those gaps above the back wheels. I can come very close, but they're still blatantly obvious, and no sooner than I get them perfect. Pop, off comes the whole bottom side of the car.... DAMMIT!! Onto the good, which despite my agitation clearly present in the cons section, actually almost outweigh the cons. That finish! OMG! They managed a deep, beautiful, semigloss, true metallic silver on this little dude. Just stunning. The attention to detail? The suspension of the car, postponing in and out as you move the robot legs, the aforementioned rotor and calipers on the feet, when the heel spurs cooperate, despite having non brakes wheels for feet, he's still quite stable, and even considering the reverse oriented knees, very expressively poseable. The paint apps on all those gorgeous molded in details is lacking, but a plus for myself as I like doing my own anyways. So lack of paint is a bonus to me. Overall he's the only "bayberse" bot I own currently, but I'm going to display him alongside all my wfc, ss86, thrilling 30, and bumblebee ss figures. He looks a little out of place, but not so bad, somewhere close to b127 in bot mode, and especially when in alt mode alongside kingdom Tracks. I have a huge diorama I display my guys in, usually in a battle scene, and I've already gotten a killer still of him going between NBK Devistator's legs, slicing through his ankles, from underneath, so bad ass! I even managed to make it appear as though he's skating through. Wish I could share that here, oh well. Here's a link to my diorama for anyone wishing to see. Don't care about subs and likes, but I would love feedback.. Link in the reply comment. I can't cut this. Then copy the link to add back doofus lol.

[@insanenero2922]

Always hated my old cannon bumblebee figure, was young and didn't know there were other versions so this was my first bumblebee. The fact that it's only feature was the shoulder mounted cannons made this figure more boring. I'm so glad the HftD Bumblebee gave the mold more features and improves the mold itself.

[@Nanou2_]

SS sideswipe is honestly one of my favorite figures ever.

[@toybonniesfm]

i like the door transformation on canon bumblebee and the transformation between the bumblebees look pretty similar to me

[@ryangolden6448]

As a kid I had the concept camero bumblebee. I know that’s not the one shown here for the old toy but I miss that figure. I thought it was the coolest shit ever. Just seeing a old bumblebee toy reminded me of it

[@_V.Va_]

Honestly the weaker plastic doesn't bother me because I don't handle my figures like a monkey. Though I do get how the plastic of old feels better. Like my 2007 Leader Prime just FEELS GREAT.

[@awsomebobyt2954]

Somehow I didn't know about the weapon storage for SS Sideswipe in his alt mode. I recently had to put all my SS figures into a box to make room for more MP scale figures, and I just kinda tossed his guns into the box, with the mindset of "Eh, I'll find them later". Might have to dig them out now

[@kilowatonBluray]

You can actually store the guns inside the car for SS Sideswipe where his pegs are to store them in robot mode. It can be obnoxious to do though, and I’m pretty sure you cannot transform sideswipe with his guns on his back from robot to car; you have to put them in half way

[@CayeDaws]

In comparison to the original dotm one the new sideswipe is great. But in comparison to his original rotf, side arm, or hunt for the decepticons (the one I have) it's more debatables since the hftd one has the best color scheme and his transformation is actually fun

[@cruzperez7862]

one of the best and sincere opinions you have given, very good points on both sides and that not only talks about: "because the new ones are smaller and and and they use a lot of translucent plastic and and and and and and their plastic is bad and the ones from before are better

[@hassanrao470]

When you compared the robot modes… damn. I own both of the ss figures and I knew what the robot modes look like on the old figures but damn ss looks SOO much better. So cool how movie toys have evolved

[@spinnyboi5659]

If you want a better Bumblebee figure than the cannon version, battleblades Bumblebee is the way to go. He is super poseable, his joints and plastic are solid, his vehicle mode is more detailed with 0 panel lines and you can open the doors without leaving the back windows next to the doors themselves. Yes he is a bit lanky but only a bit and it's not like it's a problem when everything else is so amazing. He even has a flip out gun, axe and visor. It's such a good figure. In this case, yes cannon Bee has some posing problems, but I'll take that over tiny with clear plastic. Yes, the studio figure poses better and that's cool but plastic and transformation come first in my book and cannon Bee uses 0 faux parts so he wins, but to be fair it wasn't too hard a contest. Studio Sideswipe is an amazing figure but I still like the dark of the moon toy. It took me a while to do so but his seats are bigger to seat lego dudes, and yes the color is kinda ew, took me a while to get used to it as Sideswipe just getting old. Plastic is better too.

[@Zakerotd]

8:09 Bumblebee "Hi there" Lol Ok, I agree with you, the Studio series toys are obviously better, in details and proportions as you said. But yeah, I like the older ones too, and some older versions of Transformers toys are pretty good to me!

[@gojiformers6277]

that’s exactly what happened with mine studio series bumblebee

[@Tfbrave]

I used to own the 2007 movie landmine and I remember doing 2 minor mods to the figure: 1. I tightened the various ball-joints with super glue 2. I cut the 4 claw fingers so each one could move separately The action poses I could pull off with him were absolutely INSANE before I lost him

[@mecitreyd9533]

I'm sure that I had that sideswipe when I was a kid it was one of my favorite

[@quakywacky8048]

Really hoping SS does redos or new takes on the orignal characters once they finish with the canon cast. Like the ROTF Lockdown, Seaspray and Mindwipe are some of my favourite TF designs, a SS glow up of those figures would go so well with the Bumblebee movie characters

[@dippy_1999]

SS Breakaway is pretty much confirmed from multiple reliable sources on TFW2005 (Honestly a good site for TF fans), and depending on how he sells Hasbro might give updates to other Bayverse characters relegated to toys or comics.

[@corbingarrison7167]

[@bobthebusbuilder2478]

I think the dark of the moon sideswipe has better feet as they are supposed to be roller blades. Though the studio series would be perfect if the support went somewhere else in car mode to let it roll better and if the front of the car could fold up in robot mode.

It's sad the fact that I have a ROTF sideswipe, but I forgot it at my dad's house in Canada :(

[@meganura1559]

I honestly kinda prefer the gorilla arms on movie Bumblebee toys simply because they worked that way in the movie. He dident have the giant arm guards on the sides of his arms, they were on the back, and as such I find the modern studio series 2007-rotf bumblebee mold really weird (amongst other reasons). But it would be neat if the wrists had a swivel on the gorilla arm Bumblebees so it wouldn't look so weird all the time.

[@meganura1559]

The older bumblebee in this video sucks though, I know from experience. I think the best overall mold for movie bumblebee would be the nitro version, just if they dident go with the additional boosters and mechanical stuff.

[@sewing3049]

Sideswipes mech tech weapon I used to peg on to the arm of my TLK voyager Optimus, cause I thought it looked cool, but it broke on me. The side swipe scares me to transform as the hood is one that skinny arm thing and it’s made out of clear plastic. The SS bumblebee is one of my favorite Bees I’ve ever had

[@toybonniesfm]

i love interior so i don't care if the transformer sucks, it immediately gets 10 extra points jsut because of that for me

[@ron_ge]

I highly recommend HFTD Sideswipe, which is not as accurate as the new one, but definitely more refreshing with its engineering.

[@CayeDaws]

Man I love the colors of the hftd one. Looks better than his on screen model and his car mode with the stripes and red window is just sexy

[@spartanvenom5388]

I’d love to see Darksteel,Evac,and Smokescreen recolors of Sideswipe,Blackout/Grindor,and Jazz in the studio series.

[@TheAxelandx1]

Yeah no, those older figure suck, Either the og rotf Sideswipe (very similar engineering to the ss Sideswipe) or sidearm sideswipe would've been a better choice imo. As for the old Bumblebee in this video, that's probably one of the worst molds Bumblebee ever had, even the 2007 mold was better looking. I know you don't have them, but Dotm was a huge step down from the Amazing figures we've had previously. It's really unfair to use the budget cut version of Sideswipe for the comparison.

[@StealthBeeKid]

That studio series bumblebee kinda rubs me the wrong way, cause the paint is almost there, but they didn't paint the hood scoop and the grill properly, so it looks super duper weird. And in robot mode it still has a ton of faux parts that just sit there on the back making the robot feel unbalanced and claustrophobic, you can say the old toys had kibble and they didn't look the best but still, the absence of an entire hood peeking behind his head on them is a huge win

[@Brandongriffithmakesart]

Had the repaint of dotm swipe I believe his name is dark steel cool but sucky figure as for Bee I had a hold on the battle blade and nitro both are fantastic molds.
