[@LightningZetton]

I love sideswipe. I'm sad he's no longer being used. I pray TF ROTB will have sideswipe as a mix of G1 and his Bayverse counterpart. I've heard there was a autobot in the background of BB cybertron scene that had the same ears and blade as bayverse sideswipe

[@lex_rodriguez]

This figure got me back into Transformers. I was never able to afford the Takara version of Sidearm Sideswipe and when I could afford it, I had jumped off the Transformers wagon. . . Then one day I'm browsing through Target and find this guy on the shelf - based on how amazing he looked, I knew he'd be a hard figure to find for most collectors, so I snatched him instantly. Such a great figure and easily the best Sideswipe figure out there IMO!

[@inflatabledisplays1312]

Being a target exclusive he’s gonna be hard to get and he’s so good

[@axelgrease69]

Well he might be regular retail outside of US

[@uainjansun]

Ugh not target exclusives again

Don't you mean "damn he's good"

[@pigoman6566]

[@griffinkimball2454]

I haven't had any problems finding Target exclusives with the exception of Runabout. But I never found anything past Earthrise wave 1

[@D-Prime248]

the studio series dotm Sideswipe i think it's the better mold but for that version of the character, in my opinion the best rotf Sideswipe mold still is the sidearm Sideswipe

[@torturedkfpemployee883]

The backpack on the dotm one is way cleaner and fun to transform the rotf one is just parts sliding over parts

[@raitaylor]

I might buy this just to display him in vehicle form since I love it more than DOTM. Other than that things like more paint isn't enough to king this version. Not to mention every version of ROTF Sideswipe has an unappealing backpack making the robot suffer.

[@lostspriggan3618]

I'm glad they're releasing another sideswipe since scalper prices are insane

Sideswipe was one of my favorite characters from the Bay films, along with Dino, Ironhide (rip) and Jazz (also rip)

[@blairthandi7058]

The vehicle mode is absolutely gorgeous. My Wal-Mart in Canada finally got this today, and he was the last one on the shelf too. It is like he was waiting for me. Thank god I decided to take a trip to Wal-Mart after work, as everyone else grabbed him too.

[@cyberreatronprime]

This is the first time I'm gonna double dip on a figure because it's just that good. Sideswipe is one of my favourite characters in bayverse and with all these improvements it's one of my top priorities to get. Great review as always bro!

[@col.carlmonierevangelista2394]

Some people said that they have different face but I tried to custom my dotm SW they had the same now

[@pinkflare13]

To sum up my opinion: RotF has the better paint, but I like the DotM sculpt better. The backpack is more compact there and I always liked the convertible look better, which may not seem fair but that's just my opinion.

[@kingslayerx1716]

Same

[@jcrews8582]

I definitely agree regarding the ‘backpack’; it stores away better on the DOTM figure compared to the ROTF figure

Since we’re getting RotF figures that we’re missing, hopefully they do the same for DotM next year. If not, then some DotM remakes would be nice, like the Wreckers and Starscream.

[@katiepersons6575]

The backpack is a lot better on the old one. But it's a clean sweep for the new otherwise. These two and MPM ratchet/ KO have convinced me the difference between a cheap looking figure and a premium looking figure is the paint job.

Question: is it possible to remove the ROTF Swipes backpack and swap itfor the DOTM one, or are there transformation diffrences? cause it would be awsome if we could "upgrade" the DOTM look by swaping these for display As in when we want a DOTM Sideswipe we put the DOTM backpack/ alt-mode on and the same with ROTF I love the DOTM figure but this has better paint and can acctually roll so I'd like have the option of displaying it in both the DOTM and ROTF looks
