DOTM Movie Exclusive Sideswipe: Thew's Awesome Transformers Reviews #104

[EchidonaMicHog]

DOTM Sideswipe horrible? Darksteel is eyeing your neck...

[Thongchannel3]

you are damn crazy ~ but i like it ~ wuuuuuuu

[dylandior123]

"Computer, enhance image!" hehe :-p

[durge12]

ahh, top heavy. 3 months late but the joke is got :)

[Sonicfan1396]

the 04 is a reference to the japanese g1 number designation of sideswipe.

[RoixLazuli]

Dammit Thew, I had no interest in this figure at all until you reviewed it. I bought him today at wal-mart and got him out of the package and you're right, He is awesome. The colors are surprisingly nice too.

[MrOptimus1984]

04 was his g1 id number.

[razorblademask]

Good review, but I'm totally waiting for the black and green retool of it.



[turbinethunder191]

Why am i so addicted to these videos, Thew must be controlling my mind with the power of awesome!!!! :~0

[Aerros1]

Rotate his feet 180. They still work with the toe and heel out but you can fold his toe all the way back to create the wheelie foot illusion. He can actually stand like that too. I believe it was intended even though its not on instructions. Love this mold.

[CYBERNOK]

I know whot that red Simbol is. It's the autobots Simbol from the transtech

[cannonfodder4000]

3:09

Haven't played the game yet have you Thew? <=D, Steal Force is kinda neat, except when it's like, three Starscreams or Breakaways strafing around you, then it gets annoying. <=c

[darrandy]

You sold me with this review. I picked him up today at my local Walmart for $9.88.

[MopGunZ93]

THEWTHEWTHEW!!

[BusterBrenton]

Wish I could like Sideswipe.

[gargoyle666]

Yeah he's Sunstreaker as far as I'm concerned too. Though I do like the idea that Sideswipe joined the X-Men.

[Crankcase1979]

You so damn right man! DotM Sideswipe looks very cheap with his colours and stuff. I started to hate "Plasbro" for this whole cheapy Toyline, cause you can see it more than in the last Toylines that it is made in China. No good Colours, poor plastic quality... *puke* This Nascar Sideswipe is much butter cause he's a repaint from HftD. I had him too until monday. I selled him in Ebay. Need Money for TFC Hercules Combiners.^^

and btw. I LOVE your ironic Style in your Reviews! A+++

[bg0883]

COMPUTER! Enhance image.......oh, wait nvm......

[javajim777]

lol at the bananna man colors! Those guns are a bit lame, if only for that horrible light blue color. You could always buy a can of spray paint and spruce 'em up with a new color one afternoon outside.

[PyjamaPrime]

i did a head, light piping and gun swap with the original Sidearm Sideswipe and i'm gonna make him a "Classics" Skram

[SoulOfTheRedeemer]

Oh man that stealth force mode at 3:12 is pretty awesome, I should do that with mine!

[waspshot23]

lol! top heavy!

[Majinhero]

...why does he have the Beast Mashines Maximal logo?

[grimwolf100]

@Majinhero one of the few easter eggs.

[Davadino]

More yellow and less blue and this truly would be sunstreaker, and it would make me want it even more.

[Eucep]

My advice, take a bit of paint and a brush and time for some gun alteration.

[tehpaws]

His guns are Allspark powered! And...that's about it. I have the original deco of this figure so I'm very hard pressed to care about double-dipping. xD Still a great vid as always.

[Maxzilla99]

Did you know you can rotate his feet around and fold the claw things back so it looks like he has his wheel feet!

[839ricky]

lol at the end "il see you later"

[JediJennifer]

oh it's swedish...swipe... xD

[luminaflare]

Don't know if this has been mentioned here yet but the guns have a flip out bit, no idea what they're supposed to be but they flip out and look cool.

[vh2k]

Gee, I wonder which faction he belongs to...

[waspshot23]

my sidearm sideswipe broke, maybe I'll replace him with this x-men costume one

[Redler13]

I thought the guns looked like they were smoothie flavor.

[Witchenboy13]

I do call him Sunstreaker. :p

Oh, his guns have 1 joint for improving the pistol shape.

[brickonator]

Whoa I just got this day yesterday. Also you can flip down a part of the guns to reveal ammo clips, I guess... not sure what they're supposed to be.

[thewhitehandnerd]

its been called memorial sideswipe and i got it before the movie came out so i was panicing over the thought the sideswipe would die but he didnt so its all good :D

[dylandior123]

The car mode looks really cool.

The robot mode he looks like a bodybuilder with the big muscles but small head and genitalia.

[rave1X]

Computer! Enhance image!

[ObakeOnna]

This video somehow showed up as "watched" on my front page, which caused me to ignore it until now. I'm not sure what's going on. Is one of my cats a secret fan who watches your videos while I'm away? I didn't even know cats liked transformers. Or maybe they just like you.

[daiatlas2010]

why do people keep forgettting the transtech autobot logo

first time it gets put on a toy and nobody knows what it is

[starscreamer20]

The new Sideswipe is actually a great mold , even if the color is less to be desired. Why base it off a terrible picture? It is the same grey as deluxe Starscream...

[viraticwars]

Got the Bumblebee racecar and he is pretty good. He's no Busterblade Bee, but he is okay.

[jon3pnt0]

i just want him red

[CaptainRufus]

Dammit. Now I want this toy and wish to consider it Nightbeat for Classics just because he looks cool and stylish enough to be a superspy. Some paint wash here and there and it would do nicely I think. I just have to forget this comment by the next time I go grocery shopping.

[Segaman19]

Another top-notch review, sir!!!

[manganiaco]

Tiny nog nog

[izoleo12]

Happy birthday to me! Literally.

[dylandior123]

Happy birthday.

:)

[bbeve29296]

brilliant as ever dude!

[bigdonkey14]

baby nog nog is the name of my new kids metal band.

[MEIDOco]

You can also fit in Mech Tech weapons as well as Recon Ironhide's guns into his hands thanks to his design :3

[sifimatt12345]

04 is a nod to his japanese ID number: 04

[adamgnome2]

Wait....is that a Transtech Autobot insignia? What's the reason for this?

[5434644]

hey thew the wheels for the feet in robot mode can be turned inwards and if you fold back the front toes/toe he can stand while looking a lot like the wheel feet in the movie.

[TFaddict86]

PS......Nog Nog!!

[TFaddict86]

(Sigh)....Dammit Thew....{ puts on shoes & shirt, grabs keys....goes straight to local Wal-Mart to find this toy....}

[RiderManX0]

Do the colours remind anyone else of a reverse Wolverine?

[WafflesMgee]

When you mentioned Bananaman, I smiled.

[durge12]

happy with all 3 deluxe sideswipe molds. the new one has a giant brick mechteck weapon which is laughable yet awesome and the lack of roof means a little less kibble on his back. but yeah the paint job...... still, sidearm is a cool mold but happy enough with the original to not bother tracking down the original. until i fork out for sentinel im about done with what dotm stuff that has thus far been released. waiting on air raid and guzzle though. and soundwave

[LoranCehack]

I haven't picked him up yet, but I was planning on using him as Bluestreak, going by the Speed Stars toy as inspiration.

[8bitPikachu]

i hate this mold

i have the first release of the toy with that starwars-y logo on the hood so i don't know if it has been inproved at all.

Mine knees scrape aganst the ground so it can roll, he always has to squat to stand, but MOST IMPORTANT his head scrapes as you transform it and because its painted half his face was chip off just in the first couple transforms.

but whats cool is that his guns fit into warforcybertron cliffjumpers hands, which make that even cooler

[javajunkie1961]

Why is it every time you review even the most pointless repaints that I wouldn't look twice at I immediately want it?

[MurderRouge]

What? Did someone use an obscure Homestarrunner joke as the name of their metal band? Wasn't Killingyouguy Strong Mad in Dangeresque?

[mindzombie]

The 04 is a reference to him being on the Ark in G1

[skyfire21]

@mindzombie Actually it's a reference to his G1 toys Japanese id number, according to tfwiki.

[mindzombie]

@skyfire21 ok. I knew it was something along those lines. Thanks

[Eviltot]

Should be red. :D

[hensolo10]

"BANANAMAN?" i never thought i would hear that reference ina toy review but well done.. is there any way to drop a PINFOLD or DANGERMOUSE reference? great vid will have to hunt this bastard down

[yugitashi]

I'm using him as my movieverse Bluestreak.

[RangerRiderDude]

awesome as usual, Thew!



[Wolfydsw]

I was about to lay into it about the piddly guns but you got it covered :D

Id have got him if he had an actual mechtech!

[BackslideDan]

Wait, that back logo... IS THAT THE TRANSTECH AUTOBOT LOGO?!?!

[ZeltraxMillenium]

@BackslideDan

Yes, it is, BackSlideDan.

[AMZOD]

You can totally fold away the front foot holder up bits to make it look like he's standing on just his wheels. And he still stands! Good form, Sideswipe.

[stomoman]

>Sideswipe has 04 on it

>Review #104

I c what u did there.

But do you?

[Shin27ecstasy]

Baaalljoint!

[Hucklebubba]

Racer Sideswipe is amazement!

[IXRollOutIX]

HEY, STFU! The new Sideswipe mold is BADASS. Lackin' a wee bit of paint, but it's an epic toy.

[AXL753productions]

oh my god, transtech Autobot symbol...YESSS!

[mattr75]

Nifty.

[bullettoothdenny]

hey thew, what was the name of the transformers site you were trying to promote to us a few videos back?

[hobbitninja]

@bullettoothdenny You mean the Transforming block?

[GokaiSilver]

l love the Dandy, :P and the Beano, nice reference xD

[Freddery]

FUCK YER BANANA MAN
