    I noticed mine is missing some paint on one of his eyes, would anyone happen to know a good paint to match it for a touch up?

    Finally opened up my piece after 1 week of owning him and here are my thoughts:

    1. The colour of this figure is really beautiful.
    2. Whoever said that this is the worst TF face is correct! LOL!
    3. Can anyone see the individual top row teeth on their figure? I can't see mine.
    4. Minor paint flaws on the one of the back panels of the vehicle mode. Its like an extra glob/slop of paint.

    As much as I dislike the face, I'm actually thinking of getting another piece as an extra - to display one in bot and vehicle mode.

    So then, what a bloody car.

    And what a bloody dust magnet too, hahahaha.

    This dude can't do a vanilla stance. However he's posed, he wants to fuck up your life.

    [​IMG]

    And he likes posing.

    Few spotty paint issues on one of the guns and feet, but the foot part is only visible during transformation and I'll live with the gun.

    The face. The dividing line for many. Personally, I love it. I love what it references and it's a lovely shot of personality into the arm of the MP line.

    Yaniger. Yaniger face.
    (And ridiculously glossy black paint)

    Goin' killin'. Don't wait up.

    Just a gorgeous figure. Can't decide if I'm gonna give him the neon green..

    got mine in today, one MINOR overspray on a taillight, but that's it. I'm fine with that as I'll fix it when i feel like it. but wow... he's amazing.

    This thing is just fantastic, but I'd still prefer that they had tampoed the Autobot logo into the hood. Right now in every photograph, the sticker boundary is just too obvious.

    Yeah I agree.

    Mine looks a bit better now I've put some pressure on it.
    But I reckon the smaller symbol wouldn't be as obvious around the edges as that big one.

    One thing I've noticed on this release is that the helmet 'vents' are newly sculpted and therefore symmetrical unlike on Lambor and Alert.

    Mine has been shipped. Now to find either a KO or a junker Sideswipe to swap faces.

    The more I see of this thing, the more I want it. I'm not sure if I'd put the stickers on it though - On one hand, I'd like to see it in it's full neon G2 glory, but on the other hand the clean version looks really nice

    Oh well, it's not much of an issue until (if/when) I have the thing in hand :lol

    Nice pictures dude! The last one is particularly nice to me! Don't give him the neon green...he looks too cheesy with them...although that's the charm of G2! LOL!

    Yeah, I wished they did that too or gave us water slide decals. But I understand why they didn't as it gives us the option of displaying the vehicle mode 'sticker-less'.

    IMO it would be cool as a display - to have regular Sideswipe in bot mode and Tiger Tracks and G2 in vehicle modes.

    I'm tempted too. If they gave him a regular face, he would be my all time fave TF figure...the colours on such a sleek vehicle makes the character even more bad ass. I hope we can see a red or black Sunstreaker one day.

    I really think this is the best of the MP cars. The superior mold of Lambor combined with the superior colors and paint job of Bluestreak. And the paint is SUPER glossy. Even after 20 minutes of peeling and replacing the sticker to center it, you can still see Soundwave reflected within Sideswipe's chest in my crappy cellphone pics.

    I love this guy. Fun transformation and great red/black combo. I've been playing with this MP the most in a while (I just have Red Alert, not the first MP Swipe. Awaiting the re issue)
