it's no longer too loose. the tab snaps in place rather nicely. it's getting it out that is sometimes tricky.

Hell, reverse the red and black on this one and have it be Sideswipe in G2 colors and I will buy another.
when they redecoed jazz in G1 colors they didn't change his name, but for swerve the reason was just to keep the name "swerve" for another day. i wish they used a different mold for it though and just named this one sideswipe as well.

His head reminds me of Magneto. My real point is, the head is okay but could've been better had it not been so "round or squarish". Perhaps some horns would've made it nicer.

As for the colours, ugh.. It's not entirely bad, but I wish the middle part of his robot mode chest were black in colour. At least it contrasts the overload of red IMO. I mean, take a look at Sideswipe. The middle of his chest is grey in colour, which contrasts the rest of his light silver/grey colours. So, why not?

Overall, I'm not getting him for now. But since i like red (and this red is still passable), and I like the mold, I MAY consider getting him and paint the middle portion black

Good point about keeping the name Swerve for reuse later and the G1 Jazz redeco.

This is a bigtime PASS for me.......I got a second SS and repainted it into g-1 coloring. And mine looks a ton better than this. The head sculpt reminds me of Starscream.

That mold looks real good in red. I'll definitely be picking one up.
