its been a long journey with my acceptance of HA sidey.

 

at first i thought his legs looked too stumpy and the back kibble was too much, but somehow over time and seeing more and more of him, i like him.

 

have him on order at the min with leader jetfire.

 

so im sold on him now ive always loved his movie design anyway, by far prob my fave in rotf, and he deserved a much bigger role.

 

im looking forward to HA skids, barricade and mudflap now though.

 

i was trying to think what other they had to play with and i can think of jolt with major lennox (but wondered because jolt isnt anything but a background character)

i would adore it if they can do a scaled version of ironhide with him instead.

then again if they did that they could put leo spitz with jolt.

 

and for the decepticons, sideways with alice (in either mode?)

 

Getting an Audi as a Transformer would be really nice... To bad it will never happen...

What are you talking about? Sideways (The one with an Audi alt-mode) Was among the first wave of ROTF Deluxes.

Also if you re watch side swipe in the china scene you will notice that his kibble in bot mode is huge! But somehow the kibble plays a roll in keeping him balanced as he is skating around in bot mode. The sides and doors move out in order for him to do quick things like dead center spins and move quickly around corners. Notice when he goes for a dead stop in front of sideways the whole front hood and door assembly flares out from his back.

Cool! If I get a chance to watch the movie again I'll have to pay closer attention to that. It sounds like the kibble could be used in different ways for different poses...

 

You don't have to re-watch the film again...there are better videos out there but this TV spot trailer featuring Sideswipe should give you a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about: Click Here!

He's most likely talking about a licensed Audi alt mode.

I am still wondering how Bay got away with Sideways transforming even for a split second...

Oh crap that explains it! why it was only a split second...and for that matter sideways never fought back...oh frak, you know I think if I was bay I would have used a different car all together, I'm mean why use a a car that obviously a manufacturer did not want related to violence...or Bay could have had the Audi logo removed all together, like the toy. I would have really liked to have seen a real version of the bot. Oh well...the first movie is still better!

by the way any word on a release date for the HA Sideswipe????And also any other word on wn or were getting more of these caracters???

Have to agree with sassyjessica about the legs. I didn't like them at first. But he has also been growing on me too. Can't wait to see a release date for Barricade more then anyone else from this line though.

 

And as for BB. I can't believe Hasbro has screwed the Americans so badly over this figure. He's everywhere in Spain at the moment. :shrug

You don't need a license to show a vehicle in a movie (really, can you imagine how expensive it would be to make a movie if you had to get permission and pay a fee for every car that appeared onscreen?) You do, however, need a license to produce a toy version of a particular vehicle. Bay could've shown Sideways' vehicle mode all he wanted without a problem, but Hasbro cannot legally make an accurate toy of the character without Audi's permission.

I heard some people already found him...
