Quite possible.

Where's the concept art for Sideswipe?

As for BB, I just hope it's not the new FAB version. The car mode is quite big for that one and could maybe be mistaken for a Voyager.

Apologies- I don't have one on hand (it's on my home computer, it got DMCA'd off the main sites).

Does he have his dual swords though?

Re: ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe
 

I see what could be the beginning of a sword on the right arm, the image is cut though. And that's probably what it is since the packaging points it as one of the features.

Re: ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe
 

Are the shock absorbers just moulded on, or do they actually work? Do they have working springs in them? That would be awesome.

Heres the leaked concept art of sideswipe from awhile ago:

Just molded.

Cool. Yes, the toy seems to be quite close to that concept art... chest, roller feet, tires on the arms, head, hands, weapon (now I can see it), car parts hanging off the back, weirdly angled legs (like Starscream or Dropkick)... And now I think I understand the foot design of the toy: 2 fake wheel halves sandwiching the real wheel to make it look wider like on the concept art.

from venksta's pics i get a sick feeling that "sideswipe" is actually "jazz's"new form after his last one was torn in 2 pieces.some areas that make me think this are

1. the head is really similar to jazz except with eyes now instead of a visor.
2. silver/chrome color.
3. wheels as feet (which jazz had too when spike and the hottie first met the autobots in the alley.
4. overall sideswipe looks like an "upgraded"version of jazz

it's probably just me but i think this time around micheal bays pulling out all stops to mislead the public just so the movie surprises you that much more.i do think it's awesome that we got some info way ahead of time,now we just have to figure out if it's legit or misdirection.

Re: ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe
 

I remember the Jazz Solstice was spotted at one of the early scenes being filmed, along with the voice actor walking around the set. So theres a chance Jazz is in the new movie in some form atleast. :)

Re: ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe
 

I fail to see the resemblance to Jazz, myself - plus we know he has a different name.

Only similarity is that they're both silver cars.

Re: ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe
 

I think that was debunked as a false rumour sometime ago.
