Takara finally noticed Sideswipe's hair and started singing this song to him:

And why is he translucent? For that matter, why was Sideswipe chosen to have a second armor to begin with?

I can't remember the specific details off the top of my head, but I remember doing a compare and contrast when he was announced.

Aah, so as long as I tear off the poker chip he's basically the same thing? Been thinking of getting him since not only does the mold look fun but the new head and colours make it look so damn cool.

Yyyyyyyes and no?



The price on him fluctuates a lot, and I mean A LOT. He's 27 quid now but the next day he might be 30 or 21. Same goes for Slipstream, Nightbird and Rumble/Frenzy who I also have wishlisted.

Ugh, that price. Try to shop more!

If you want the girl trio, this could be a nice way to have them all one shot. Great store BTW.

I mean, the alt mode isn't particularly impressive, but still holy smokes.

Just for the painted sword alone, I'd like to have that figure, and I hate the character and the head. The Warrior class Power Surge Prime mold is a fantastic throwback to what TF's used to be.

Care to share more thoughts on that mold and why you feel that way? And do you feel that about the original mold as well or just the retool?

It has a formless, lump-like vehicle mode with body parts sticking out of it, and sh|t articulation in half of his body in robot mode, something smells of Armada to me

I assume you're talking about Prime; it's a tractor trailer, clear as day. There's maybe ONE joint missing from the arms, that would help but it's not THAT bad.
