best integrated weapon ever, both modes are just gorgeous, and not as much of a shell-former as the rest of the rotf lot, imho one of the best transformers ever made
I actually like the bot mode of this figure.. I usually just pose him with his "skates" down. I like the tightness of his alt mode too.. Unlike Crap-Bee...
jetfire is what made revenge of the fallen good, without optimus they need SOMETHINGto keep the movie interesting,sideswipe i hav one complaint sure not being red is stupid,but WHY A CORVETTE??,no that's TRACKS' job
Great review! Just discorvered your reviews not too long ago, and I gotta say, probably some of the most entertaining I've evver seen. They have the best humor within', and all are ones that show your opinion, and that's what I enjoy with TF reviews :)
i don't know why but its just not STABLE and what mean by not STABLE is it looks cool, but if you drove it someone would throw a rock at you and call you a duche. also it dosen't look SNOW/RAIN/MUD/DIRT/CONSTRUCTION/BADRODES/BADDRIVER safe.
at least it rolls at all. ROTF sideways is a bugger to transform back into vehicle mode. he's got so much crap underneath him that once you transform him, he'll never roll again. his legs are crap as well. sweet red light piping though
I actually used to hate my ROTF Sideways figure because of the exact same reason (too much under-kibble).
After some manipulation, though, he actually folds up perfectly. The most important part is the arms, they can swivel further inwards above the elbow joint. Tuck them in well, and then he rolls just fine.
When you threw us that "product placement in G1" line, I thought you were going to pop to the infamous Pepsi Convoy with his giant paper cola bottle of advertising doom. Or would that be "advertiZing doom"? Hmm...
Ha ha, a honest opinion, a great figure with huge potential but it's like the designer got lazy on certain parts of the design...just like the movie! Later Thew-T.J.
i garuntee the film would have been better if the only new bots were jetfire,the twins,the fallen,and soundwave,ravage,and the original 6 constructicons
they could have left out arcee,wheelie,the other 10 constructicons,the pointless generics,sideswipe,and the insecticons.
then all the other bots would have gotten at least decent amounts of screen time
lol, nice review man, i like the flight mode u gave him, i think hes a thinker, he knows that lets sey he get shot so badly his leg is riped of in battle, he still has all the safe parts of his altmode on his back /whell minus a wheel)...but if somone trhew a grande there the altmode would be...less imprisive... dont put all your eggs in one basket? UNLESS THE BASKET IS A SWEET FRAKING ALTMODE MOHAHAHAHA
Woah, this guy is a bit of a handsome beast! And I think you're spot on concerning ROTF; it's effectively a shrieking, A.D.H.D suffering, educationally sub-normal eight year old who's had too many red Smarties washed down with speed-laced red bull, BUT...it's enormous, enormous fun. The only really big complaint I had about it was the length; it could've done with being an hour shorter. For all his flaws, this guy looks worth buying just for the pleasure of displaying him. 5*
It's a Corvette, and the "thing" on the back is a stingray. It has it on the sides of the car too. They ended up giving it the name "Stingray", so the car refelcts that. The real car actually has STINGRAY on the back, but for the sake of making it smooth and nice looking, they left it out on the toy.
i had to turn my speakers down for the scream. but anyway, great review. i really like the look of him. i'm sure the feet'll frustrate me when i get him.
"you could say that but then you could say, ARAGAGAARAGAGAHAHAGAGAHAGHHHHHHHHHHH!" VIDL, verily I doth laugh.

Both modes mode looks suspiciously like Garwack/Guardian mode. o3o
On another note, aren't most of the movies figures shell-formers to a degree? Why's poor Sideswipe get all the flack? :P
I love his shiny paint job. I just wish more than two figures in the line had gotten that treatment.

would you rather
see devastators balls or know where the fallen was hiding?
see ravage get his spine ripped out of him or get a better explanation of the matrix which really just involves more sam?
if they asked billions of people questions like this during the production the movie would still be the same.

Sidewipe is one of those figures I knew I had to get, when pictures of ROTF were being released.
Shame they didn't give him a bigger role in the movie.
