Deluxe Sideswipe Toy Gallery
The floodgate has opened; TF08.net has posted a bunch of pictures of the Deluxe class Transformers 2 toy for Sideswipe, one of which confirms (as if any doubt) of his Autobot status. Pretty darn good looking figure over all and solid looking vehicle mode. Below are a few pictures but bunch more (along with more Starscream) can be found here. Thanks to cypherXR for the link.

Cool!!
ReplyDeleteFreakin' sweet!
ReplyDeletethe concept art we saw last year was friggin sweet! looking forward to see this character in live action. one of the best tf designs ever
ReplyDeleteAwesome... whats the mechalive gimmick?
ReplyDeletei still doubt this is sideswipe. looks to futuristic for s/swipe. maybe they just want us to believe this is sideswipe. it looks more to wheeljack/hot rod personality.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had official confirmation of the name (or at least none that I've seen!), but I don't give a damn aht they call it, all I know is I WANT IT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTypo: What they call it...
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like we got a whole new lineup of TFs that can't stand up on their own with all them one-legged, wheeled feet! haha
ReplyDeleteAll in all, I do like the direction. It definitely breaks tradition and stakes out a new path of TFs we've never considered before.
He makes me think of Hot Rod... :)
ReplyDeleteIf thats deluxe sideswipe then this cant be deluxe must be voyager

Um, why? :P They look the same for me ;)

What would be the point for them to make us belive, that is Sideswipe? I mean... What would they gain by that? And, did the black pickup, and green hummer looked like Ironhide and Ratchet for you, when you first saw them?
Just my two cents :P

ReplyDeletedude this is the same toy as the last one
look closely, both of them are DELUXE

P.s. this guys looks really cool, i like the legs and the arms, but his gigantic back is kiling it all for me. i hope the back is removable
Hmm...the hood ornament - which is two racing flags and is present on all Corvette models - kind of reminds me of Hot Rod's flames. It wouldn't suprise me at all if this character ended up being Hot Rod, not Sideswipe.
ReplyDeletedeng! can't wait for this toys to hit the stores!......i'm saving for this sideswipe (if he is sideswipe) and the audi r8 toys!........
ReplyDeleteSpoilers:
ReplyDeleteThis is the best transformers design ever the only problems i see are:
1. Leg joints might not move well
2. The piece behind his head is bulky
3. There is less detail than the one in the link below.

Other than that a great toy design i say buy it!
My thoughts are that the bulk on his back is his jet pack as in g1. Although i reckon its gonna be used for propulsion instead of flight. The name 'Sideswipe' suggests something that moves and attacks quickly....very gundam-esq especially with the left sabre-looking arm.
ReplyDeleteAt last an Autobot that can kiss ass...
ReplyDeleteBADASS!!..HASBRO finally outdid themselves on this one..until TAKARA comes in and details it alot more..dun care though if this is sideswipe,wheeljack or even hotrod..main thing is i bet this guy will definitely shred some decepticreeps..
ReplyDeletegotta update my buy list..woohhoooo!!!
The Wheelfeet toy can stand on its own?!?!?
ReplyDeleteGasp.....
The Wheelfeet toy can stand on its own?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAnd why not? :P
I'm definetly gonna buy him. Look forward to see him in the Movie.
ReplyDeleteYeah he def is a bad ass... This is def the one I'd like to have the most out of the toys I've seen so far...
ReplyDeleteAlso how much does a toy like that cost? does anyone know?
At last an Autobot that can kiss ass...
ReplyDeleteWho ass will he kiss? :P
I'm almost certain this is Wheeljack. Look at his "crown" at the top of the head mold, very reminiscent of G1 Wheeljack's head.
ReplyDeleteFuckin' right; the Decepticons better watch out. That car design is one of the coolest I have ever seen; I hope they make it like the did with Bumblebee's camaro. I can't wait for him to fight and race the Decepticon Audi R8; now that is going to be some fast and furios shit.
ReplyDeleterecently learned that slash film had an interview with Micheal bay about transformer 2
ReplyDeletehttp://www.slashfilm.com/2009/02/10/michael-bay-says-transformers-2-will-be-bigger-and-darker/
Michael Bay Says Transformers 2 Will Be Bigger and Darker
Fantastic design in both car and robot. Yet another essential movie figure buy for me.
ReplyDeleteI realize the transformers are thousands (or longer) of years old in the story. But why do they have to make them look old and some of them act old? When I watch the movie, I see youthful type personalities in Bumblebee and Jazz. Then I look at the Decepticons and they also have a youthful feel (like humans in their 20-30's. When I look at Ironhide I picture him being around 40 and ratchet in his late 40's, especially when I hear their voices on screen. In Prime, I can picture him in his late 30's. When I look at sideswipes face, I almost see a geriatric old man who has misplaced his dentures. I hope in the movie they give this character a very youthful personality. Too me he looks old. Maybe its also the fact that his mode is a corvette. every person I see driving a corvette is usually in their mid 40's or older. its kind of like a midlife crisis kind of car. Personally, Im not a fan of corvettes. I'd much rather see him in a lamborghini mode, but I'm sure that cost is a factor here (not to mention a sponsorship).

2/10/2009 8:38 AM <--- any Decepticreep that he can lay his hands on. His scissors look sharp to me.
"I'm almost certain this is Wheeljack. Look at his "crown" at the top of the head mold, very reminiscent of G1 Wheeljack's head."
ReplyDeleteand ironhides cannons are remeniscent of his g1 form, and optimus bieng a peterbilt is exactly like how he was in G1
but i do get your point, he does have the same blades as wheel jack and g1 wheel jack also had wheels for feet
your forgeting wheeljack also had a mouth :D
ReplyDelete"i'm saving for this sideswipe (if he is sideswipe) and the audi r8 toys!........"
ReplyDeletehaha your poor
your forgeting wheeljack also had a mouth :D
ReplyDeleteNo he didn't...
In the top / left picture.
ReplyDeleteWho's shadow is that lurking to the left of him and the missle sticking into the picture.
Hmmmm......
I can't believe the trailer isn't leaked yet.
ReplyDeletethis guy is worse than Raptor/Fallen!
ReplyDeletehe's a silver snake/Falcor monstrosity
enough with the lizard/bionicle bots already!
his background will be aloof, impulsive, which gets his team in trouble but he makes up for it with his courage and determination...
give me a break!

Good eye i didnt spot that at first look. I suppose it is one of the other movie figure and if it is it will most likely make its way onto the net soon then again it may be the new Starscreams missile.

Friday the 13th is not aired until Friday 13th February. The only exceptance of this is a preview on the 11th February (Tommorow) So we can expect atleast a bit more news on the trailer tommorow. However bay said the trailer wouldnt be on the net until a week after the films release which means we may have to wait until Febraury 20th. The trailer should be leaked on or before next monday as the film will have been released.
it is starscream...
ReplyDelete"your forgeting wheeljack also had a mouth :D

It was sarcasm you retard
It was sarcasm you retard
ReplyDeleteIt was retarded sarcasm then, you retard.
very nice!
ReplyDeleteI like how the back of the car makes his chest instead of the front. I bet his transformation looks cool :D
ReplyDeleteI can see why so many ppl love this design ; it's a kind of G1/Movieverse compromise ; especially the robot mode. Reminds me more of Bluestreak than Sideswipe, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly not my fav and I dislike American cardesigns like this Chevvy, so...
can you say "The Richard Gere of car designs" !?
Replying to willbilly:
ReplyDeleteI agree the toy is cool. If he is a Deluxe class figure he is usualy £9.99 however with prices increasing the new deluxe figures are most likely £12.99.

ReplyDeleteit is starscream...
Scorpio says:
Thanks for confirming it. I was just a little unsure even though there are pictures of him with starscream i just wanted to check.
i have a feeling this will be a skating robot like bonecrusher but an autobot not decepticon, i can't wait for this babie to be in shops i want it soooooo baaaaaaad
