Swerve is highly intelligent, though you wouldn't know it to watch him drive. His duties as a metallurgist and fabricator for the Autobots expose him to a lot of toxic chemicals, which his circuits have been constantly exposed to for years. He has trouble holding a straight line as a result. The other Autobots prefer to keep him far away from battle, since he aims about as well as he drives
Do the images rekindle your demand to purchase the figure or does it give you second thoughts? Join the discussion here in the forums before Swerve arrives in North America in August! For the original link to the post, proceed here.

HOWEVER, it is still an awesome figure and an outstanding paint job. If I HAD to choose only one between Sideswipe and Swerve (thank gawd I don't), it'd be Swerve.

I'm excited for this to come out!

Still, I will probably pick this up because I want a "Sideswipe" I can display with my other Sideswipes.

This may push me to attempt my first ever mod - maybe throw a bright metallic red on 'Swipe to give some G1 flavor, while keeping with 'Swipe's new headsculpt. If all goes well, a new Red Alert won't be far behind.

I'm more willing to wait for Sunstreaker.

RotF Deluxe Sideswipe's arms and torso are the base plastic colours. Its legs are the same except for a section of the upper thighs. From what I can make out, Swerve has painted upper arms, forearm sections, torso, the mech alive knee plate sliders, and upper thigh plates. The black on the legs and arms are base plastic but it has a dull sheen that reins in the shiny red paint of the car parts. My one criticism is that the forelegs are in a base plastic dull grey, which throws the otherwise cohesive visual texture of the robot mode. However, it's a relatively minor issue compared to the other things that RotF seems to do right in terms of paint apps. Once I get one, I'll just paint the forelegs to a silver to match the knee plates.

Is Sunstreaker actually a possibility? If he isn't, it could be a long wait. If there is a Sunstreaker repaint, I will certainly pick that up. I think the yellow might look pretty amazing on this mold.
