Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am writing this review to note the discrepancy between the first issue RotF Sideswipe pictured here and the newer second run model that should arrive.
First the basics - the new issue version of Sideswipe appears to be functionally identical to the earlier version. And both toys are great transformer. The robot is well detailed and stable while the vehicle fits together nicely.
The transformation is very nice as well save for the initial moves going from car to robot. Those with mine were a little tricky IMHO but nothing that skilled hands couldn't overcome.
Now to the major difference - this version, "Strike Mission", has red plastic for the windshield and other glass pieces rather than the original blue. Personally I prefer the blue but as I received this as a gift recently, I am more happy to just have the figure. Also, there are other minor color differences but really it is the glass color change that is most apparent.
Lastly, this "toy", though easier to transform than the Bumblebee model, is still bordering on the acceptable for the listed age range. Durability and difficulty in transforming are questions for younger users to consider (or for parents/others debating this as a gift).
All in all though, a great Transformer for the right buyer.
Edit: It looks like Amazon finally got around to updating the picture. The red plastic in the new picture is indeed the color of the windshield.

Sideswipe is used to working alone, but he's enough of a team player to recognize that younger Autobots can benefit from his experience. What Mudflap thinks is a simple race is actually a training exercise. Sideswipe intends to put the young warrior through his paces, teaching him everything there is to know about offensive driving. Recreate exciting movie scenes or stage your own living room battles with this Autobat hero! In robot mode, this fierce fighter features deployable blade accessories and gearing that activates his shifting battle armor . When you're ready to send your Strike Mission Sideswipe figure chasing after his enemies, convert him to Corvette Stingray concept car vehicle mode and send him tearing through the streets!
