    yeah I mean I like the idea of having Cybertron and Earth versions of characters and in the case of some like Starscream where are the two versions are very distinct I really liked. But some of the Siege molds like Sideswipe and Mirage were obviously just Earth vehicles with a few “alien” characteristics tapped on. If they actually had more distinct Cybertronian modes then I wouldn’t have mind buying both versions. As is, I can’t justify springing for these new versions.

    Lucky me, I pre-ordered on Amazon for 44.99 before they hiked the price up to $52.99!

    Begrudgingly placed a pre-order on Amazon. Not thrilled that Skywarp is missing his swords and the price hike, but I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.

    Sideswipe looks very good, although I’ll probably stick with my modded-up Siege one. I gave him the white knees, so I’m glad to see it done on an official figure. Shame about the lack of spoiler, but thats nothing Nonnef can’t fix (again!)

    Hey guys, I'm only in this for Sideswipe. If anyone wants to split my order and buy BW Skywarp off me, feel free to PM me.

    Can see this set being a pain to find in six months time for retail price so got it locked in at Pulse UK.

    No idea who this version of Skywarp is meant to be, but Sideswipe looks great!

    Hasbro are gonna get me for Red Alert now as well aren’t they. :rolleyes:

    Conveniently no back views or indications that a spoiler can be mounted.

    I remember mentioning a few months back that if people wanted Earth Sideswipe so bad to just buy the Siege toy because the figure transforms into a very earth looking Lamborghini despite the setting. A few people disagreed with me. Yet, when you look at this figure, there are very minor differences from the Siege version. All they did was add a black bumper and remove the tacky vents off the back. That’s it.

    1. No Magnaboss? That's sad, but expected
    2. Anyone else find it weird that in bot mode Skywarp has 2 eagle heads right next to each other?

    So excited to have an Earth Sideswipe to go with my Sunstreaker.

    Now I need a Sunstreaker with matching yellow paint/plastic to go with my Earth Sideswipe. To everything turn, turn, turn...

    It's Amazon. This is the scummy thing the like to do these days. Although I have to admit I usually see it on smaller priced items. You know $10 lego sets getting pumped to $15 and the like. I do recall them charging $8 for $5 Mega Construx heroes figs. Call them out on it as an error and you'll get the "wink wink" it's an error from them.

    This is a cool looking set.

    Like the clean look on Sideswipe. Appreciate that he has both the shoulder cannon and hand blaster.

    Skywarp's head is great (reminds me of the anime as well as TCC Armada Skywarp's). Like the extra colors in robot mode.

    Skywarp looks pretty damn good, not going to lie. Still want Nightprowler more. Sideswipe on the other hand seems pretty weak. Only the hood of the car stands out as any different. Car mode still seems Cybertronian by the standards set in Siege. And for Amazon's current price, can't justify it.

    I am really liking the Sideswipe, very cool that he is actually bright white, not that off white color that the Siege one was.
