Cuz if it does I'm totally getting that car even if I have tomorgage my organs. So if I buy a stingray will it turn into a badass robot?

Do you think Hasbro missed a trick here? Simply rename the convertible to Sunstreaker and you have the second brother and re-establish rights to the name. It also means that you have the chance to issue the non-convertible as a Sideswipe later on. Or would he be a repaint? I only have the battle version of RotF Sideswipe (no swords) but it looks like this transformation is different for DotM. Is that the case?

It's funny how the cars keep changing when they're using concept ones.. People who accuse them of product placement should keep an eye on how many of those vehicles actually end up coming out, let alone within the affordability range of the movies' audience XD I liked the human alliance one, it was delightfully bulky..

(sans HA) I really hate the gray on the Dotm dlx as opposed to his usual silver. Hopefully we'll get a cool repaint. I have to recommend the sidearm mold, it's one of those molds that's fun to transform back and forth, everything locks into place & he doesnt fall over! There is going to be a racecar redeco later on in the Dotm line. I think it's a walmart exclusive. I also am a fan of the general sexiness of Sideswipe’s toys.

If you think so highly of them, then perhaps I'll end up getting this one. I do like how the arm blades look on this one (better than the previous ones, I mean). Unless the Human Alliance one is stands out as the best. Is this true? Never did end up getting any of Sideswipes toys, though I had planned on it.

The few small pics I had seen didn't bear out the differences. Looks like Tom (Peters) and his crew at the design center played around with the basic design, sprucing up a few things. =8^) Ah, good eye!
