Sure, there isn't a good human to pair him with but who really cares? All I want is a larger version of him! |

Join Date: May 2003 Posts: 665 Location: I am elsewhere Collection Count: 300 plus | I wonder if Hasbro put Sideswipe in a boxed set if it will have the slight-improvements that seem to be evident in Swerve - or indeed on the new slight recolor they are doing for the NEST line of Sideswipe will that have those slight improvements (tightening him up mainly).
I've avoided opening my Sideswipe on the off chance a latter reissue might have better build quality....
as so many people complain about the build quality of sideswipe I can only infer it's not occasional but indemic flaws on the wave 1 toy release of Sideswipe.
Anyway I got Swerve and his appauling feet and inability to stand up put me off worrying to much about the original anyway. |

And I have to say I really like him better than SS. The concept Corvette just looks really sharp in red. And after reading this thread and finding out there were QC issues with SS, I think I made the right call because my Swerve is flawless. No loose head, nothing.
Stands pretty stable too. I just rotate his feet until his "toes" can't go up any further against his legs. And I don't know if it helps or not, but I noticed his "heels" can be folded inward behind the wheels. In an age desperate for a hero, comes a man...
Strong, lightning fast, and unyielding in his fight for good... |
