Sidearm Sideswipe

Hunts for Decepticon - Another cool Autobot from the movie, Revenge of The Fallen and Dark of the Moon. This one is the original Hasbro paint and differs from the Takara Tomy Sidearm Sideswipe. Both his vehicle mode and transformation mode is awesome; especially for a deluxe class model. But if you have the extra cash, you can always go for the Human Alliance package. But to me, this is an excellent (and come cheaps) model of Sideswipe.

Bio

Sideswipe was built to fight. He is sleek, fast, and accomplished in battle. Focusing on his enemies with absolute attention, his blades are a shining blur as he leaps through the air, twisting to avoid enemy fire. Converting to his vehicle to drive at blazing speed, he uses every trick in the book to get close to his opponent, and put his powerful swords to work.

Vehicle Mode (Non Weapon)

The vehicle mode looks so amazing. It is a reference to the Generation 1, Sideswipe. But I still prefer if it was only the silver painted Corvette Stingray Concept. Instead of a Lamborghini, his alternate mode is a Stingray. So disappointing. But nevertheless, it would not look that cool if he was anyway different than this movie version. You can see the paint job in front of the car and the windscreen is tinted red.

Vehicle Mode (Weapon Mode)

When the Autobot need a weapon upgrade; they contacted Q from MI-6 (just like Jame Bond did). Well, it works quite well with Sideswipe. The weapon mode looks amazing. Reminds me of 007 Aston Martin Vanquish. Actually, the weapons are the actual guns for Sideswipe and detachable easily.

Transformation Mode

To me Sideswipe is the only cool character in the movie. He does not talk too much but get the jobs done. In Dark of the Moon, he was given a lot of scene time and his action is amazing. Although his Cybertronian sword is not available in this model but his guns is totally awesome. Speed with double dose of carnage. The details in this model is also cool. There are details almost everywhere. From the Autobot insignia at the back to the chest and legs were highly detailed. My only complain was when rotating the rear. It is really a hassle because of its head was inside it. But if you get use to it. It won't be a problem anymore. If you love Sideswipe, then you should get this one.
