Comments: Sideswipe can be summed up in one word....Awesome!! His race car design is amazing and robot form also has a sharp flavor to it. Recommended!!
He has a gorgeous red color scheme in vehicular mode with a touch of
black here and there. I was always impressed with the look of the car!
The transformations are reasonably moderate but are always fun to perform. He's made very well and definitely is a "stand out"
piece. In robot form you can place his shoulder launcher via the snaps. Looks great with accessories all attached. He has tons of missiles.
You can't go wrong with this piece!! Excellent color and design! Recolored black in the
Generation 2 line!
Sideswipe is nearly the equal of his twin brother Sunstreaker, in the combat arts, but less cold-blooded. Relishes a fight to the finish with an opponent. Uses underhanded tactics when absolutely necessary. Arms act as powerful pile drivers. Flies for up to 2 minutes with rocket backpack. Fires flares visible for 18 miles. Rash actions often lead to injuries to himself. Takes them all in stride.
