ROTF Sideswipe toy info

General Tekno · 01-05-2009, 12:12 PM

Pascal over at Cybertron.ca has gotten some information on one of the upcoming ROTF figures - deluxe Sideswipe (the Corvette we saw concept art of). No pictures, but just a description:

That's the name of the silver Corvette, right?

Another beauty. Some of the features:

-dual shock absorbers for lower legs
-unique feet: formed from the front portion of the car (right front side of the car on the left, left front side on the right), each foot appears to be either a tire split in 2 halves with a stabilizer (foot) sandwiched in between OR a tire sandwiched between 2 stabilizers (meaning he would have roller feet)... probably the 2nd option...
-2 pairs of struts linking the upper legs to the lower torso
-chest is formed from the rear section of the car (outer parts) with a black section in the middle (exposed when you lift up the middle rear section) with a silver Autobot symbol on the right (think Alt. Meister when you lift the hood)
-clear blue windshield hanging off the back
-wheels (near the elbows) and rear car sections (pointing forward) hanging off the arms
-hands: 1 thick thumb and 2 thick fingers (a bit like Blackout)
-head is bit a Megatron-esque, but different... hard to describe... has blue light piping
-middle rear section of the car is pointing up on the back in robot mode (like Trans Scanning Bumblebee) and you can see 4 exhaust pipes
-hood halves hanging off the back as wings (front pointing down)
-red/orangy tail lights
-clear headlights
-blue knees
-car has long and pointy rear view mirrors (probably rubber)
-small molded Corvette symbol on front of the hood

ROTF Sideswipe toy info

in this thread he says a "megatron-ish head"...this is it, no?

looks like an elf with a super pointy chin.

General Tekno · 01-05-2009, 12:22 PM

Well, I guess it's Megatronish in that it looks like it has the same basic shape. Face is different but the shape is similar.

I think Sideswipe has to be one of the bots I'm most looking forward to seeing in the movie besides devestator can't wait to start seeing some pics roll out of all of them

Someone wanna combine mine and General Tekno's threads? Thanks.

Damn that sounds nice especially: "-chest is formed from the rear section of the car (outer parts) with a black section in the middle (exposed when you lift up the middle rear section) with a silver Autobot symbol on the right (think Alt. Meister when you lift the hood)"

Too bad he aint a voyager.

Looking forward to these especially Devs

A bit more ROTF toy info from his source:

Quote:

I heard a newer version of Bumblebee is coming up, possibly a Voyager, which would be odd. When I asked if it was the same as the retooled DLX CC BB revealed a few weeks ago, he said no, different toy. My source also mentionned another toy described as "green air", probably meaning a green plane. Or a chopper. No size class mentionned.
