I'd love a G1 Sideswipe paintjob.
That new head is ugly. | |

#28 | | Vehicon Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 574 Location: Ohhhh Canada! Collection Count: 260, counting Minicons and Bootlegs. | Why so much hate for the head? Seriously, it's lines and styling are a thousand times nicer than Sideswipes's hideous head sculpt that looks like a robot cat head that was microwaved. ('Swipe isn't actually that bad, I just feel the need to balance the scales.)
Can't wait for this guy to start showing up in stores. I've been patiently passing over Sideswipe for the past three weeks because I'm short on cash and would rather have the red (any color, actual) over the grey/silver combo.  | |

I hope he's painted a deeper red instead of orange red plastic like Alt Side Swipe has. I already have 2 silver Sideswipes just so I can repaint the head for the red one. My extra silver one has a Jazz head on it Quote:

Swerve will be released by Hasbro and Takara.
Hasbro Swerve will be a mass market release.
Takara Swerve will be an Amazon Japan exclusive.
Both will have the new head.
The only "exclusive" is his Japanese market release via Amazon. That means he will not be available at regular Japanese stores. | You can take what Nevermore says as pretty much fact, he's the resident no-it-all when it comes to figure release dates and patterns
Plus this figure was found with a stock picture on the US Walmart website about 2 months ago then removed.
