Transformer's Story
There have been other incarnations of the story based totally on different toy lines during the 2000s. The first was the androids in Disguise series, followed by 3 shows that consist of the "Unicron Trilogy" ( composed from Armada, Energon, and Cybertron ). A live film was also released in 2007 and a sequel has after that been released in 2009, again distinct from prior incarnations, while the Transformers Animated series merged ideas from the G1 story-arc and the 2007 realtime film.Transformers : G1, includes both the animated television series The Transformers action figures and the Marvel Comics comic-book series of the same name, which is further split into japanese & Brit spin-offs. Sequels followed, like the Generation 2 comic & Beast Wars television series which became its own mini-universe. Generation one characters underwent 2 reboots with Dreamwave in 2002 and IDW Publishing in 2006.
This figure is fantastic
Firstly, the sculpt of this figure is fantastic, both in auto mode and in robot mode. Though he does not look very like the Sideswipe I grew up with, I would not change this figure's appearance in any way. He's very graceful looking in robot mode, and just has a great design, all the way from his head sculpt to the arms and legs.
Sideswipe is one of the hip new autobots
who will appear in the Vengeance of the Fallen movie. According to the packaging he likes close combat and is a foil expert. For children : this bloke is a sweet ride. He is a silver Corvette idea with blue windows and is maybe one of the sportiest autos in the line. He transforms reasonably simply but has tons of small bits and parts that move and come apart and go together.Due to this he does not appear quite as sturdy to me as some of the others. His foils are one of the coolest "mech-alive" features I have seen yet though and he has a pretty cool looking robot form. I suspect he would thwart younger children but most youngsters will like both the car and robot forms. For adults : This guy is still a sweet ride. I even need to drive him around and make engine noises. He's painted silver rather than just molded in a certain color and this makes him pop visually. The downside is that over time I see this painting chipping round the edges and rubbing off on corners. Another down side is usually because his is an involved alteration and he is such a bright color there are plenty of plain seam lines. His alteration isn't hard but it is complicated with many pieces of the body of the auto that move and swivel and break apart. He feels a bit fragile but up to this point has proved sturdy. Still, if somebody went a little nuts on him he'd break straightforward. Once in robot mode he looks pretty cool with a swish head, his shoulders that are the rear fenders of the automobile and two neat points of articulation action. He has pistons and sliding knee covers in his legs that move as you bend it at the knee and he has 4 hydraulic rods connecting his leg to his body that slide up and down as you move his legs. The rods are a soft material so they will not snap. That is all pretty neat. He does have a bit too a lot of the auto stuck onto his back though to look fully streamlined.
