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

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).

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.

Generation Windblade

30 th Generation - Meet the official fan-made Transformers; Windblade. According to tfwiki.net ; she was officially revealed at the 2013 SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con) after running a few polls from fan. What I love about Windblade was she is the first Autobot female that I ever bought (Yes, I bought Airachnid from TFPrime). I think I forgot that I bought Arcee from TFPrime but sold it before I could ever review or displayed it (in this case, that does not count). Well, I really like her appearance and here is my review of her figure.
