All the Autobots are shown with their English names and Japanese transliterations, all correct except Sideswipe, which is consistently written as "Side Wipe".
An earlier name? It appears three times, so surely can't be a mistake.

It does look simplier than the larger MP's but not overly simple. The legs look a little complicated.

Also, is it due in OCT or DEC?
TFsource and the eBay sellers all say OCT, where BBTS says DEC.

I wonder if they'll do that for the inevitable Thundercracker and Skywarp repaints.

Sideswipe is October, Soundwave and Red Alert are December. The BBTS date could be when they are getting their shipment, idk.

So I guess he is officially a maybe, as I am reinventing my want/wish list.

It's written as Sideswipe in the photos. The second "s" is there, with the possibly hardest to spot it is in the scale pic.

I meant the katakana. Every other character has their name written correctly. Sideswipe seems to be the exception. On the two model sheets and the scale sheet, it is サイドワイプ. Side Wipe.
I just don't figure them spelling it wrong three times. But maybe they did - it comes down to whether or not these sheets are reference for the animators alone, or indicative of official Takara names. Who knows, maybe they just preferred Wipe over Swipe.

Ahhh... Okay. Thanks for the informative correction. Hmmm...
And honestly, Mindwipe is Wipe. And coincidentally, Blot is rumored to be known as Butt there. Which makes me wonder why those two do not have a two-pack reissue.

That would be something. Together, they are a mighty force to be reckoned with.

So you are implying that they are both Spielberg and Bay?
Oh... And what I do find to be ironic is that they did not check upon that. Because you'd think that after their Alternity versions of "Ultla Magnus" and "Dai Atras" (as spelled in "Engrish"), they'd have made sure that there were no name-based errors in either language.
