Also I would've liked to see a bit of black somewhere on the shoulders/upper torso area; it's rather bland up there. -VELOXIRAPTOR-

He is missing some serious detail in robot mode, but a couple hours with a paintbrush and he'll be sick as hell

i didn't want a dark red anyway.
will agree that something color wise is missing from him in bot mode.
not thrilled that his Blades are just red. some detailing woulda been nice there. maybe a black outline on the blades or maybe a contrasting shade of red in there?
still, gonna have to get this one.
thanks for the great pics and review. Quote: |

Hell, reverse the red and black on this one and have it be Sideswipe in G2 colors and I will buy another. | I don't know... I'm thinking that if they were going for a straight up G1 Sideswipe deco, there would be a lot more white on the limbs.
After all, G1 Sideswipe's primary colors were red and white.  | |

Maybe instead of the Ice Cream Twins and Blazemaster I'll get him. I wasn't really excited about those anyway. Vengeance of Bumblebee Transformers Comic | 2010 Transformers Cartoon Fan Fiction | |

I just got my hands on one today and he literally keeps losing his head. I went so far as to disassemble the torso and head to see if the socket simply wasn't latching on correctly, but no such luck.
