TRANSFORMERS Studio Series 29 Deluxe Class Dark of The Moon Sideswipe Action Figure

Product Information

Chris Mowry had planned for Barricade to appear and be turned into Sideways in Transformers: Alliance, but Hasbro rejected the idea. [6] He was made available the UK as a Sainsbury's exclusive, and in Australia and New Zealand as a Kmart exclusive. Junkion Scrapheap and Buzzworthy Bumblebee Ironhide both use the 86-24 number, the first time the same number has been used for different characters between the two lines. Got this one today, I have had all the versions of movie sideswipe, this one is pretty damn good. Jazz quality.

Sideways was a crew member aboard the Nemesis during its mission to scour the galaxy for a Star Harvester. He was apparently wounded when the Ark warped into their ship and damaged it, as he was heard calling out for the ship medic in the aftermath. Alongside the rest of the crew, Sideways then boarded the Longshot and pursued the Ark to Earth. Convergence chapter 1 Unite for the Universe I have nothing but praise to offer this magnificent action figure. Grindor is extremely accurate to how he appeared in the film. Attention to detail on the figure is amazing. The robot mode's articulation is outstanding; you can get him into all kinds of cool poses as you have him square off against whatever autobots dare try to take him on! Alt mode is similarly spectacular; for me the helicopter invokes much nostalgia due to its excellent accuracy and attention to detail. As for the transformation itself, complex but fun and unbelievably well engineered. I am absolutely blown away at how awesome this figure is. Definitely money well spent and I can safely say that I will be on the lookout for more studio series figures now that I know how well crafted they are! The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2 reveals that a Sideways paid a visit to the Animated universe; while inhabiting that universe, his body form bore minor similarities to Revenge of the Fallen Sideways, and he showed an interest in visiting Shanghai. The book only asserts this intention, not that he actually traveled there, nor does it specify which universe's Shanghai he meant—there is no unambiguous proof that such a jaunt was made and that the two Sidewayses are the same character. Author Jim Sorenson characterized the book as being meant to match the Animated series' penchant for "in-jokes and Easter Eggs", [4] suggesting that he might not have meant it to be taken seriously. Sorenson as Vector Prime later classified Sideways as a non-Singularity, noting the separate status of the numerous Sideways from the movieverse. While it has never been confirmed, the move to include 1986 characters in the Studio Series toyline after three years of continuous focus on the live-action films, was likely done to allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the film, without stepping on the toes of the Beast Wars 25th anniversary, which was celebrated as a part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy. Evidence suggesting this is the inclusion of some of the film's main characters ( Cyclonus, Rodimus Prime and Galvatron) being sold in the concurrently-ran Kingdom toyline and the shared design aesthetics of the toys between both lines.The design of Sideways's vehicle mode appears to be based off an Audi R8 tuned by APR, that was on display at the Michelin booth at SEMA 2007. First revealed at New York Toy Fair 2018, Transformers Generations: Studio Series (aka Transformers: Studio Series), acts as a celebration under the Generations banner of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It has to date also coincided with Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts, the sixth and seventh films in the live-action film series. He later collected some loose Energon around an airport in East Asia and a nuclear silo in the Sahara desert, and also assisted in reviving Megatron. Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots/Decepticons

The code names of many of the other figures, assuming they even had code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series Barricade from the Bumblebee movie toy line, with which the Studio Series shares its code names. This character article is a stub and is missing information on their video game appearances. You can help Transformers Wiki by expanding it.This version of Sideswipe is a Walmart-exclusive redeco of Sidearm Sideswipe. Featuring a new racing-themed deco, he is one of the most fanwank-filled mass released toys ever, featuring a small TransTech Autobot symbol on the rear fenders, an endorsement of " Lithonian Drivetrain" on the front fenders, another for " Maccadam's" on his trunk, one further logo that for " Sun bro", another ad for " Axalon Rattraps" (with the slogan "Safe. Humane. Yeah, right!" underneath), and finally the number 04, a nod to the original Sideswipe's Japanese ID number. Oh, and he's particularly blue and yellow. Like all Human Alliance figures, Sideswipe is designed to allow his accompanying human figure, in this case Robert Epps, to ride inside. That was his huge difference between him and every other autobot...he rolled around like he was on skates..in rotf with the sideways scene his feet were highlighted well. It's a huge part of sideswipe to see wheel feet....and this figure just does not at all.
