The-Arker has just posted some pictures of the new Human Alliance Sideswipe with Sgt. Epps figure. The pictures show a blurred box front and the figure’s full bio:
When Sideswipe arrived on Earth, he was a raw, untrained fighter, used to battling alone and outnumbered. He was teamed with Epps so the tech sargeant could whif him into shape as an effective member of the strike team led by Ironhide. The two have become good friends. In combat, Epps’ combat-hardened instincts direct the speed and cunning of Sideswipe with devastating effectiveness.As with the Human Alliance Bumblebee and Sam bundle, Epps rides on Sideswipe’s shoulder and can man a cannon in that position. Sideswipe’s spinning arm blade gimmick and Corvette Stingray Concept mode are also shown.

Spinning blades? In what way do they spin, they're swords I thought.
Now if they what to do a Human Eslavement Barricade or Sideways with spinning buzzsaw hands I'd be totally up for that.
Buying this guy regardless, porportions are a bit off but I likes me the size, the gimmicks and the scissor doors!

Well, you should know that a picture automatically adds tens pounds to the subject(s) in said pictures.
But yeah, need more pics before deciding.

Someone needs to get their hands on this guy soon; I'm hoping this is just a very unflattering photo and that he's not nearly as squat and topheavy as it makes him out to be.

In the military, people are referred to by their last names, so Epps in this case is, well you get the idea.
Shizuka
You and me both.

Cool.
Anyway, I like this, but I like the Deluxe version better. I'll still pick it up, though.

a f**ker

… I think I'll get the deluxe version.

I think he looks a little bulkier because the photo was not taken straight on but angled from the top perhaps? And I think those other photos are blurred because they are actual scenes from the movie and they don't want to spoil anyone?
frilly toothpick
i agree.

He looks too bulky.
Although it could just be from the angle of the photo

Meh, I like H.A. BB but the Deluxe Sideswipe is better than this.
Moroni Prime
Because we all know that Epps is a stinky, stinky boy. Somebody might want to fix that on the frontpage, we don't want to suggest that Tyrese Gibson doesn't bathe, now do we?

i disagree, the press release thingy had a HA BB in it and argos has the code for them in the database and it works if you type it in

The Deluxe toy is a lot better, IMO. Much sleeker and not so…squashed.
Sentinel Pax
I kinda hope the figure just looks squashed to fit both alt mode and bot mode on the back. I know that isn't very likely at all…but I can dream, damn you!
ODarkThirty
I'm surprised that they didn't apply the motion blur filter to all the photos. They left the photo of the back of the box alone.
Not too sure if I want this version of Sideswipe. He loses that, as Sol Fury put it, "fast moving, sleek sword fighter" design in robot mode. I think the deluxe toy captured that look better.
Epps is a real surname.

My thoughts exactly when I saw the pics.

so how much are these again?
