    He\'s so much better!!!
    the paint is so much better than the awful looking DOTM one

    he shouldn\'t come with guns though since he didn\'t get those till DOTM

    still don\'t understand why they won\'t officially reveal them

    Deco is much better. I like the DotM alt mode a little more but probably we will see some partswap customs of the DotM parts on the better deco body. Should people who collect SS be concerned about the swirled plastic in the thighs?

    Looks as good as the dotm version. Glad they didn't remove the guns or cut back on paint. Might pick one up.

    It’s almost like most of revered YouTube reviewers didn’t start off on a similar note…

    I don't think "problem" is the right word.

    The story of Hasbro's "minor inconvenience" with seedy reviewers.

    Well, they're still "missing" in the sense that the headlight location isn't accurate to the RotF version of the concept car.

    I was thinking "apathy" or another synonym such as "indifference" or "unconcern".

    Man, Sideswipe really peaked with the Sidearm mold. Nothing has come close since. For anybody who missed that one, this is certainly better than the first SS offering, but there is nothing here that my sidearm mold doesn't do better.

    Shoulder location is one thing the new mold does better.

    I really dislike how wide-bodied Sidearm is, due to how his shoulders are inaccurately mounted outside the fenders, instead of beneath.

    Plus that mold doesn't have the blades.

    You're far from the only one bothered by it, but I must admit I don't understand why. Not trying to be snarky, I genuinely don't understand why it bothers people; the stakes here are so small and the dollar amounts (in terms of losses to Hasbro) so trivial, it doesn't seem worth worrying about. Mind elaborating?

    Definitely liking the colors on the ROTF more. I also like the hardtop version of the Vette. Didn’t think I’d need this one when my DOTM version is fine, but looks like I’ll be buying him and Jolt

    I see a lot of potential for improving the look of some of the parts on dorm sideswipe here

    That shot of both Sideswipe's in robot mode facing forward, I was showing it to a friend who likes Transformers and we almost spent half an hour trying to figure out which one was Dark of the Moon and which was ROTF. :lol
