Toy-Wave.com has it in stock btw, but they force you to buy it with HA Bumblebee for a whopping 90 usd before shipping.

Insanity. Nuff said.

I don't know. I still think he's a bit bulky. Like he's been working out or something with his big shoulders and thighs.

Honestly the review is too long. I don't have an eight minute attention span:D

I don't know why, I have a high-speed connection, but recently, all the HD reviews are choppy as hell when I watch them on YT, they're for the most part unwatchable. Anyone else is having that problem?

Cheers!

total skip. The whole figure looks bloated. The Deluxe version is much more accurate.

IMO this figure is many steps below the deluxe... I am not impressed. Hollow arms, bulky, bloated... ugh..

Sideswipe is FAT! BB is the 2nd best toy in the line, IMO. But this sideswipe looks.... aweful! So does Skids (Door wings!! GAH!) So I will wait for pics of Barricade, and hope they don't screw him up. Oh well, at $50 a piece, I just saved $100. unless they make Skids doors wrap around his legs, and make a Mudflap (I refuse to buy one without the other!).

Still a 'meh' toy to me.

Back kibble : tumor-esque.
Squat thighs: thunderous.
Wheels for feet: infuriating.

Epps figure doesn't say "Bring the rain!" as much as HA-BB's Sam figure says "No no no no no no no no!!!".

DLX Sideways has as much back kibble imo. The figure being smaller, the backpack just looks... smaller.

Of course, DLX Sideswipe is also about 1/3 the price of this guy.

You know what considering how awesome HA BB is it's worth every penny, I would rather have the best then settle for the rest.

Golden Age has him in stock so I ordered one :D

Hmmm... I only see them selling the pair, not just Sideswipe...

It's not aesthetically pleasing with all the bulk. I really like the scissors swords on the deluxe and the poseable wings, which the HA unfortunately lacks.

I so wanted to like this figure. Like people have mentioned. He looks fat, like he's had too much good energon and his face reflects that. It is too happy looking, almost satisfied like he's had a good brew and is ready to sit down to see a good game.... sigh. I'm going to pass on this one. I was so ready to shell out for it too.

Looks like it was a clerical error, Kyle emailed me this morning about it. So not in stock before August.

I have the same problem at home, though not at work. The difference? At work I have a multi-core machine while at home I don't.

HA Sideswipe doesn't look as nice to me as the deluxe version. The deluxe is significantly cheaper, too. Too much backpack kibble.
