 | | | Movie Sideswipe Toy Info and Possible Headshot | | Posted on 01-05-2009 at 02:12 PM by fosterlager | Cybertron.ca's Pascal has shared a description of the upcoming deluxe Sideswipe here. Sideswipe is the silver Corvette seen on the ROTF movie set. From the sounds of it, Pascal has a preview of the toy but as yet has not shared any photos.
Also, a cgi headshot of an Autobot matching Pascal's description of Sideswipe has been found as an avatar image halfway down this thread on ACtoys, and our own S250 just updated his own avatar here at TFW2005 with a differently-cropped version of the same image! Check it out at left!

I'm pretty sure that leaked CGI of Sideswipe is the first movie design I haven't said, "WTF?" when I initially looked at it.
Roook:
I don't think that's a CGI head. Looking at the autobot symbol and the kibble behind it, that looks like a closeup shot of the toy.
It also doesn't quite match the concept art also posted, but is close enough that I think we are seeing the movie version and the toy version. The explanation posted does say he has 4 exhaust type things sticking up the back, and I think you can see those behind the head on the close up avatar shot.
The movie concept art does not have those, so it's probably something that only appears on the toy. But the coloring and face are exact.

Exactly, that's not CGI ladies and gents rather a toy's head shot. CGI would look much much better than that, compare that to head shots from the first movie.
mattjy:
Looks like Tigatron!

Guess some people can't tell the difference o.O

Also, what did the punctuation keys do to make you shun them so? Quote:

We haven't actually seen the whole title of the movie yet. It's really Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and I Can't Get Up.
Skylock:
I like it, one of the few heads design that looks simple. Looks like this would make for a good repiant.
megatronkicksas: 
I do see it

punctuations? what are those? LOL naw I just type up responses fast inbetween calls(work in I.T.)
But as far as the 1st movie toys go most of them in my eyes were junk and poor representaions(I personally hated all the molds) of what we had in the movie, from the picture of leader prime and the detailed info we have on sideswipe they are trying harder it get a more accurate toy.
knook:
Quoting has failed on this page, edit your posts people please
and the head is definitely not CGI
Mega-con:
My comment was about the actual CGI picture that was removed by Hasbro, not the head shot in the second post.
example:
As far as I can tell it pretty much matches the leaked design.
Me like it Darth Rodimus:
please be Arcee or Starscream next, after that Ratchet and Ironhide, then I will be completely satisfied with this line one hundred and ten percent.
Novatron:
I love Sideswipe (but I still want his bro) and this new one is looking cool in allot of ways!!
Optimus747:
I hope whoever leaked the Optimus pic onto 4chan will leak this pic, too.
Maybe then yizhi will realize that I didn't leak the OP pic and let me back into the VIP forum. Zress Tayasu:
hopefully people will keep "leaking" stuff from his precious "VIP" section untill he has no one left to use it, and realizes how lame it is  just share the pics and party hearty, I say.

The head is the same, that's the one shown and its as Pascal described it so you're wrong
Infil:
That's the Centennial Corvette. The R8 is a different bot.

Isn't even the right color for it, as I remember it was mostly white. Also, MisfitRobot, you might want to take the picture out of your post. Hasbro requested it to be taken down from the boards not too long after it was first leaked.
The more I look at the toy picture there, the more detail I can see in it, so I retract my FAB theory. Though it's inevitable that this bot will at one point get a FAB. I can also see the Deluxe mold getting at least two repaints. One in red and one in yellow. I'll probably get the first release and the yellow release. Though this is the one bot I'm a bit wary of getting the first release of, as I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually got a Premium version of him in a more metalic Silver. Kinda like Jazz in the first movies toy line. The others I'm not worried about at all. Especially Prime, as he looks good enough as-is.
cheetorBWORG:
StuntPrime, that is the Centennial Corvette Concept bot, so you're wrong.
MythofBlackout:
The headsculpt looks really cool. I can't wait to see the whole thing.
At the rate things have been leaking lately I would be surprised if we've seen most of the cast by the end of the month.
Optimatron:
Is anyone else reminded of Beast Wars Rampage when they look at this face? I swear it looks like Rampage's head imo, yet Silver.

Thundercrackah:
Ooo, must see more of Sideswipe's toy, looking sweet thus far. Thank god Universe is going on hiatus, I'm getting the feeling I'll be spending a lot on ROTF figs.
Rattrap587:
WOW... Another Bayformer beauty... Couldn´t be MORE hideous?!?!?
MEGAMAN X FAN:
does anyone think The source might just be mixing up the voyager animated Bumblebee with movie Bumblebee.

by the description is this who everyone is saying is going to be sideswipe in the new movie?
and just so everyone knows this is the centennial.
the chest on the above bot matches up perfectly with the rear end of the centennial. i'm hopping this is sideswipe for the movie, i love the design Bumblethumper: Quote:

My source also mentionned another toy described as "green air", probably meaning a green plane. Or a chopper. No size class mentionned.
| Voyager Bumblebee?
I would've preferred Scout class myself. Though it might be interesting if it's similar in scale and design to Alternators.
That I could dig.

Bumblethumper:
yeah, I thought that too. When I read it I had the same WTF reaction I got when I read the Animated voyager Bumblebee listing.

| Sounds like it could work... Hopefully he has a filp up/down battle mask this time. Quote: |

I saw the concept art long ago and had my fingers crossed.
looks like Ironhide is now my second favorite Bayformer mold now!

You know, I do like this design, I really do. What I'm not sure about, is if I like it as Sideswipe. I think, for me, it will really come down to who is playing his voice.
Something else I noticed, Optimus Prime will have two swords, Sideswipe here will have two swords, and Jolt will have two electro-whips. I wonder if dual-wielding weapons is also going to be a theme of the next film, or if it's just a co-incidence.
Slimaximus:
If anything based on the cgi we got of Sideswipe wheel feet and 2 swords I say he is going to be a badass ninja

That's actually a rather nice looking head sculpt. I'm not sure what they ment by "looks kind of like Megatron, but not." I actually think it looks much better then Megatron's head design...Maybe because it's silver, they thought it looked Megatrony?...I donno. *shrug*
Personally it actually reminded me more of Ironhide just a bit.
I look forward to seeing the rest of the toy, though. The concept art shows those cool blade weapons on his arms, and I want to see how well they were able to work that into the toy.

If there is a sides shouldn't there be a sunny?

IMHO its one of the most sophisticated toy-designs like for now... so many hidden features, gimmicks and cool design transformation squashed into a Deluxe toy? Sideswipe = WIN. cheetorBWORG: Quote:

Poho:
I love how StuntPrime hasn't shown his face since he was called out on that statement. Poor guy.
Also, you really should take down those photos. Hasbro will get angry. Seriously.
cheetorBWORG:
Poho: They haven't done anything about the Optimus Prime toy leak.
