ROTF Sideswipe Toy Info!



News Article by StuntPrime35-



Cybertron.ca has got some info on the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen toy, Sideswipe. He will be a Deluxe, and is indeed the silver Corvette seen on set. More in depth info:
-dual shock absorbers for lower legs
-unique feet: formed from the front portion of the car (right front side of the car on the left, left front side on the right), each foot appears to be either a tire split in 2 halves with a stabilizer (foot) sandwiched in between OR a tire sandwiched between 2 stabilizers (meaning he would have roller feet)... probably the 2nd option...
-2 pairs of struts linking the upper legs to the lower torso
-chest is formed from the rear section of the car (outer parts) with a black section in the middle (exposed when you lift up the middle rear section) with a silver Autobot symbol on the right (think Alt. Meister when you lift the hood)
-clear blue windshield hanging off the back
-wheels (near the elbows) and rear car sections (pointing forward) hanging off the arms
-hands: 1 thick thumb and 2 thick fingers (a bit like Blackout)
-head is bit a Megatron-esque, but different... hard to describe... has blue light piping
-middle rear section of the car is pointing up on the back in robot mode (like Trans Scanning Bumblebee) and you can see 4 exhaust pipes
-hood halves hanging off the back as wings (front pointing down)
-red/orangy tail lights
-clear headlights
-blue knees
-car has long and pointy rear view mirrors (probably rubber)
-small molded Corvette symbol on front of the hood

Also, ACToys has got a possible head shot of the figure!
Judging on how early it is, Sideswipe will probably be one of the first Deluxes to be released alongside 2009 Bumblebee and Jungle deco Wreckage.

Sounds like a very good figure. Can't wait to see the rest of him!
