    They look to be on ball joints at the very least.

    Sideswipe is....okay. Wish he was more silver then this. I will pick him up but I'd like a more silver finish.

    As sideswipe is one of my favorite characters its great that are getting both this and the seige version.

    I'm pretty sure these photos are very washed out and poorly lit.
    You can see from the reflection off of the back assembly that this will have way more color in hand than in the photo.

    I really dont think it'll look as drastic as these particular photos let on.

    So much for the clean wheel feet of Sidearm SS - and there goes my love for this mold. 

    Still, I may grab it on a bad day...

    Look at the size of the pins. It appears to be pretty small.

    Oh. The swords partsform. Okay. I guess that makes sense. Not a huge fan of that but whatever.

    Some really good ideas hampered by too much kibble. The transformation for the back half of the car is great, then it gets to the hood and headlights that have nowhere good to go, and that mucks it all up. A shame.

    Feels like a good template for a potential MPM, assuming they can use the higher budget to handle the kibble better.

    (Also, I find it kind of funny that the DOTM car had painted rims and an unpainted body, while this one has unpainted rims and a painted body.)

    Personally, I think this shows that despite the panel lines - Sidearm Sideswipe had the right idea about the transformation.

    I like how the backpack is handled in the video. I also like that the weapons have a place in the alt mode, but does anyone know if it can store them in bot mode?

    I want to get one & almost want to get a second to repaint as a movieverse Roadrage.
