Fall of Cybertron Sideswipe

20140615_081706

Fall of Cybertron - I always have a knack to buy things first and review it later. This Sideswipe figure has been in my shelf for a year or more. Besides; I really enjoy buying Transformers and play it with rather than reviewing it. As soon as I removed the figure from its box; I never did try to transform it. But I do take a picture of it. Enough about me. Sideswipe did appeared in Fall of Cybertron but I think as a cameo. He is a playable characters in multi-player (I think). Honestly; he is not my first Sideswipe. My first would be the movie version. But I prefer him in red and have a proper feet (and not a wheel as leg). Here is my review of him.

Bio

20140615_081543

Sideswipe could have been a legend. Before the war, he was an up-and-comer sought after in half the racing circuits on Cybertron. But his reckless nature and win-at-all-costs attitude washed him out of every league he joined. He's with the Autobots for a chance at redemption, and a chance to bring back the Cybertron he remembers - Sources by TFU.info

Does Sideswipe looks anything like a Lamborghini? He does look a bit like the Lamborghini Veneno. A fat Veneno I guess. Anyway; Sideswipe shared the same mold as Fall of Cybertron Jazz. I do love that Hasbro remold a lot of the parts so that it differs from Jazz. I still dislike the fact that the rear is hollow. His big fraggin gun can be mounted on the right side of the vehicle.

I did mentioned that he share the same mold with Jazz. So his transformation is basically the same. I guess the issues that happened with Jazz were not improved with Sideswipe. His head area still shrunk deep to his chest. But I got to hand it to Hasbro as they did a good job with the head sculpt. He looks more G1 than his previous version. But he does look a bit feminine with his sexy lips. Now I will mentioned about the big fraggin gun. Although it is a nice touch and looks bad ass. But it is so freaking heavy that even this figure cannot handle it at most point. I have to be lucky and adjust it a few times just to get it right.

Conclusion

Sideswipe may be a remold and repaint but he looks differ by his own term. Love the big gun that can be used by other figure. Anyway; I still prefer the Masterpiece Sideswipe. That one is love at first sight. I never wanted to collect masterpiece again but MP Sideswipe really lures me in. Maybe I will review both MP-12 and MP-12G (and I miss out on Red Alert).

CW Powerglide

Combiner Wars - Finally a better looking Powerglide. I can't afford to buy the Classic 2.0 Powerglide; so this would be quite a nice value for your money. Basically, Powerglide is one of the G1 mini-bot (and how I wish that Beachcomber and Seaspray would be redesign). When Hasbro announce Powerglide as a legend class Combiner Wars figure; I was really excited. The new figure is the best looking Powerglide known and identical to his animation counterpart. And the best part; he transform himself into a powerful blaster for the combiners. Here is my review of him.

AoE Evolution Pack - Optimus Prime

Age of Extinction - Sorry for the late update. Been busy with life and collecting some masterpiece along the way. This double pack caught my eyes because of the classic/henkei mold. I already have the AoE Evasion Optimus (but never did review it); so here is my chance to review it all at once.

CW Bombshell

Combiner Wars - It is a bug world out there. Anyway; this is the second Insecticon that I bought. We are missing the last legend wave (Megatron, Starscream, Gears, Skrapnel, Tailgate, Swerve and Cosmos). Either it arrived a few or none at all (and selling like hot cake). I can't complain much but at least the new Combiner Wars line release Bombshell (and yet to see upcoming Huffer, Blackjack and Warpath). Here is my review of this great and simple figure.
