Review: Human Alliance Sideswipe Figure

[splendic]

I still can't believe these guys are $30 bucks!! I'd definitely buy them for $20 and maybe even $25 but not $30!!

 

Alternators were only $20 and way superior to these.

 

Agreed.

 

At first I thought the added Human Alliance figure (which nobody really gives a crap about) was included as some kind of scam just to raise the price.

 

But the added time spent having to design the weapons and interior for the human fig makes it seem like it wouldn't be worth it, no?

 

That being said, The Alt modes look pretty solid so far, and I'll likely pick up the Barricade one, because the Saleen Mustang police car was sick, and it'll be nice to have a more detailed figure of that character.

Fixed.

 

Not fixed... I take Binaltech/Alternator over HA any day...

just to let you all know, that bar holding his back kibble does indeed lock into place beneath his head, there is a square-ish peg on the "beam" that pegs in rather firmly between SS's arms. it really helps hold everything together and his back kibble looks not nearly as bad as it would seem.

 

 

 

apologies for the blurr :)

To each his/her own...

 

I'm with you. I just never got into the Binaltech/Alternator line. I can work around Swiper's backpack. The only thing truly holding him down is the human portion of the human alliance concept.

 

Epps just looks silly.

 

But so far, HA is manna from heaven, and Swiper's only crime is that he's not quite HA 'Bee.

I was pissed when I noticed how much I paid for HA Bumblebee when I got home from the movies. After transforming him a few times, I think he's worth it. I just wish his seats folded up against his arm instead of just the headrest on the passenger seat. I'm not big on Barricade, but Ironhide would be perfect and... Jazz, I said it! I liked his head sculpt. And Binaltech were like 50.00 when they first came out, less durable, and had too much kibble and restrictions due to the steering gimmick. I like transformers because I like robots, not because I like cars.

Since HA is all plastic you should compare them to Alternators... They were 20 dollars... But I dont want to hate on HA since its what keeping me interested in ROTF...
