    Such an awesome statue! Sideswipe has such a fantastic design and it's cool to see it done so well.

    That's silly. Personally I think they work way better than the random nonsense the Bots and Cons have in the movies...and no, I'm not even close to a G1ner. Honestly, they don't look like they're the same race nor look like they come from the same planet. Cons are evil, drooling animals with sharp teeth, 2 to 6 or 8 eyes and the same raspy voices, while bots are all bipedal with either dog faces or piano key teeth...

    Just really odd random lost designs.

    Sideswipe has a cool design but it was crime to make him entirely colorless. He looks unfinished. That's not really a fault of Prime1 though.

    I tend to agree :lolol  I was being totally sarcastic with that comment because it's unfortunately a sentiment I've seen shared on this forum. I'm also not a 'geewunner' but I've still been called one numerous times.

    In the Sunbow cartoon the good guys have blue eyes and the bad guys have red, the movies went a step further and made the good guys comparatively more humanoid with blue eyes and made all the bad guys look like insectoid, feral monsters with red eyes. Obviously there's some exceptions to that rule but it's still a very noticeable trend.

    If there was a clear in-story reason for this (like perhaps similar to Animated the "Autobots" were built for labor and the Decepticons were built as weapons / planet conquerors) but it's very clearly just "make the good guys look human and the bad guys look like spoopy aliens". Maybe an indication indicating how little faith the people making the movies had in the general audience so they wanted to make sure both sides could be easily distinguished? And even then most non-TF fans I've spoken too about the movies couldn't name or even distinguish most of the characters besides ones like Optimus, Bumblebee or Megatron.

    Prime 1 always does a good job regardless of the quality of the material they're given to work with.

    Bruh, this looks awesome, but I\'m not a fan of statues, however, Studio Series really nailed the robot mode mold. I\'m hoping that MPM ROTF will come, and that MPM Sideswipe (an imrpoved and scaled up up SS Sideswipe) Will be a thing (Even if it means being able to take off the kibble of the MPM)

    Hmm, rent and groceries or a super overpriced non-transforming statue :peoples: 
    Sorry Prime1, I'll wait for the inevitable MPM BaySwipe.

    I need to stumble upon thousands of dollars of disposable income so I can get me some Prime 1 statues.

    Oh well, at least I get to gawk at pictures of their impeccable attention to detail.
