I like the new head sculpt. I also like Sideswipe's mold, but I don't need another one. I do like that new head a lot, though. Dilemmas dilemmas.

Not to mention repaints provide a nice range for Radicons.
vslayerntx:
The head, being so thin and with those colors kinda remind me of wreck gar a bit
starscream-99:
The one repaint figure that I didn't want them to change the head they do.
Seeker24:
I gotta get this! I dont really mind the head.. but when i saw this at Bot Con i noticed it has blue windows. They look black in some of these pics but they are blue. Thats probably the only thing i dislike about it.
webz:
c'mon everyone, sing with me... "little red corvette! baby you're much too fast..."
Runamuck:
Wow....
I was going to get this for sure.....but if that is any indication of how Hasbro's will look, then I'm out. That color and tone of red looks nothing like the stock photo. Dull red For The Definite Loss.

The production sample at the BotCon Hasbro booth looked good -- not orangey:

Could someone post a better link to amazon.co.jp please? The link provided isn't the regular site, but some sort of "mobile(phone?" site link.
I want to preorder it but can't find it at the regular Japan Amazon site, you see.
Cheers!

There is another picture of Hasbro's prototype ROTF Deluxe Swerve at Botcon 2009:
Prime Aspect:
I think the new head fits better as a G1 Sideswipe homage than the movie head (which is cool in its own right as a different character) -- I've been passing on the movie deluze autobots in order to wait for the HA versions, but I may pick this up, which would force me to get the regular Sideswipe to be Sunstreaker. Maybe repainted gold instead of silver.

Hmmm.....I like the car mode too, but I really think it is unnecessary for him to be fondling it.
Brutus:
So, can't you take the Sideswipe movie head and put it on Swerve's body and make a more G1 red Sideswipe? (With a cool head?)
Deadend:
I'mma call him Magnum, and he reports to the Hawaii Branch Nest facility. =3
Obvious Prime:
I am going to buy him because according to his bio he's constantly tripping balls. And that's hilarious.
an2ni:
hasbro is notorious w/ repaints! come on! atleast they could have come out w/ a better head!!!!......besides i have sideswipe already why do i need a red one! hehehe!
Bgrngod:
This thread is kind of funny. It's something of a statement that everyone is bitching about how the red looks orange in the photos.
Didn't a certain movie maker say something about red being difficult to film, thus the blue flames on a major character? Hrm.
I bet it looks nice and red in person. Please, someone that has seen this figure in person prove me wrong/right.

Like I said before, he looked quite nice and non-orange in the Hasbro case at BotCon.
Meanwhile, he apparently decided to channel Speedbreaker, falling all over his own alt mode like he is in the picture above.
frilly toothpick:
easy pass for me.
