Is Studio Series Finally Acknowledging The Games??? |  

Fun fact:the first to share the name "sideways" wasn't the armada character,it was an autobot double agent from the rid 2001 toyline,and rotf sideways was going to have a much bigger role,but due to his car mod license problems,it was cuted

The fact that everybot in the franchise that named sideways is literally the same character,make it even funnier and amazing, and honestly,I quite liked the design of rotf sideways, especially the similair robot mod to barricade,and how the wheels becomes his hands,rotf sideways is probably the biggest wasted potantinel character alongside dotm shockwave-prime breakdown etc...

I’d love a legacy Sideways that’s a combination of the Bay design with the Armada aesthetic. Like a car with the door wings and the hood chest, but purple with yellow accents. Sort of like how legacy bulkhead is part G1 part Prime part Animated.

It breaks my heart that Mercedes Soundwave couldn't get this kind of engineering effort to recapture his 2011 film essence, didn't even get his sonic guns. I loved that design just as much as Sideways back then.

The fact that the design is more based off of what we see in the ROTF game makes me happier. I don't care what people think, I think that game was a blast. It was part of my childhood, and you can't change that

If there is one Studio Series character from the WFC games I want, it would be a Titan Class FOC Bruticus

I personally love this Sideways figure because it reminds me of an old ROTF figure, that strange middle ground between being accurate and "not accurate"

I'm pretty fine with the alt mode, even though sometimes, getting to it is a bit of pain. What softens it is the fact that this figure has almost no backpack/kibble. Only the rear of the car. It's squished so perfectly together which makes me wish every transformer deluxe was like that, but I, at the same time, understand why it's not possible

I mean this figure isn't really the first ss figure we've gotten that has referenced the games when Dino had the same alt mode as the his appearance in the DOTM videogame. Besides that, great video overall and keep up the great work.

I'm very happy that sideways finally has a good toy the original rotf toy line was ok but it really wasn't that good as soon when studio series released sideways from the game design I was excited that were gonna get a decent sideways toy

That toy guy describing sideways: dies in 12 seconds Me describing sideways: that guy

Funny how I just got Sideways today and you dropped a video about him. Great review as always, and I do hope we can get Bayverse videogame characters in the future. (DOTM Warpath?)

one way to really stand him up the best is to have his feet be as up as possible to bump into the leg itself and bend the knees a bit to make it more proportional, it makes him a bit shorter tho

If rumors are true they will even with the Bayverse games by doing a Voyager ROTF Breakaway.

Every time a new character is released I get excited…and then I remember how long it takes for these Bay characters to come out, and how long this line has been around, and I start to fear we may not get the two dozen or so characters that this line has yet to touch.

#sidewaysdidnothingwrong

You've just hyped me up for more studio series stuff outside of the movies with the game concept. Really wanna see the movie comic characters get some shine

This figure made me want to go back and play the ROTF game on PC again, as I need some good reference for when I customise the figure. The game isn't the best, but can be fun. Just like this figure! I agree, the car mode is off, the back shouldn't just abruptly end, it should be more like the original figure. I do hope we get some game figures, that would be the next stage of the Studio Series' evolution!

If there was a studio series wfc/foc sub line here’s how it could go Wave 1 Deluxe class wfc bumblebee Deluxe class wfc jazz Deluxe class wfc barricade Deluxe class wfc cliffjumper Voyager class optimus prime wfc Voyager class megatron Leader class warpath( he was a bit bigger than optimus) Wave 2 Deluxe class breakdown Deluxe class brawl Deluxe class shockwave Deluxe class sideswipe Voyager class starscream Voyager class ironhide Wave 3 Deluxe class slipstream Deluxe class arcee Autobot soldier Decepticon soldier Voyager class jetfire Voyager class onslaught Leader class zeta prime

I would kill for a remold of ROTF Breakaway. I remember saving up and buying him at the store, then seeing his gameplay trailer for the tie in game on RU-vid. Hey remember when deluxes were $10?

Yes, Breakaway please, INDEED! Got him as a birthday gift back in Middle school and never thought I'd appreciate him as much as I do to this day. Loved his gameplay in ROTF xbox360.

He's literally that 1 meme from Aladdin Large enormous power in a Itty-bitty space

Thank you for actually saying weather I should buy it or not, a lot of peoples reviews dont say if the figure is worth it and it bugs me

I have the Red Cog figure/Weaponizer pack!!!

When I first saw this figure, I fell in love with it. I’ve wanted a studio series figure of this guy so bad, and it’s finally here. Also regarding the door wings, I think it’s actually accurate to the movie. If you pause when he runs through the building and right before he transforms back into car mode, his door wings seem to be in the same spot on the toy. I know the games and concept art show the other design with them being more in the middle, but I do think this is more accurate to the movie

Wish studio series or legacy could do some more game stuff, like the create a bot from the 2007 DS game, maybe with 4 figures covering the 4 body types and vehicle types, with stickers, and different color versions

In case if you are wondering why your wheels on the back is stiff, it’s because you pushed the fingers all the way out and is making contact with the wheels.

If they’re finally acknowledging game stuff I really want to see Warpath. A possible leak I saw said Breakaway and Stratosphere are happening, and I hope it was real.

Sideswipe: damn I'm good!

Sideways is the most appropriate character for a "Legacy" toy, with all his iterations being the same dimension hopper. I know his motorcycle mode is the most iconic, but I'd like his hypotetical Legacy toy to be a retool of Cogman (Headmaster two seater), and have Crosswise and Rook as Titan Master figures, in addition to a retooled Enigma of Combination as his standard head. His car would have the armada colors (maybe with some extra black to homage RID) but be as legally close as possible to an Audi R8 (for the 5th time). Either his forearm cannons or saw weapons would be fine as accessories

I’d love to see SS cover the more abstract stuff. Specifically the movie longhaul toy from 2007.

Just got mine yesterday, it turns out perfect without any loose join.

I would absolutely love a new WfC/FoC Prime if those leeks are true. That was my dream as a kid; my holy grail, but I could never get the WfC version and the FoC figure was nothing but loose ball joints and I didn't like it.

6:30 I shaved the smallest amount out of the ball socket inside edges in the feet with an exacto knife and then added clear coat to the sockets and now he's much more stable and has a slight ankle tilt that goes a long way

Does anyone else wish Hasbro could take their current engineering and like, REDUX the first few figures from Studio Series (Ratchet, Clunker/Beetle Bumblebee, Helicopter Shatter and Car Dropkick)?

looks pretty cool with sideswipe and yeah i remember his grenade launcher more from the ds games so nice reference

Dude.. if we could get a Studio Series Warpath from the DOTM video game, that would be incredible.

Dang didn’t realize Sid the sloth was a transformer

This figure doesn't look the best if I'm being honest. This review did make me want to get this figure. The transformation reminds me of SS barricade's

I love this figure, the backpack transformation is so satisfying to me also the gun I use on miner megatron for a pseudo tank turret and it look phenomenal Yk except for the hollow bit

I hope we see more game designs in studio series. Some of the drones in the 2007 movie tie in have really cool looks that I would love to see done

0:44 great shot of him>>>

The ball joints on my sideways’ feet are so unbelievably loose he’ll never stand

Funny that this mold is kinda like a retool of barricade, but it still works pretty well

I find this video now ironic because studio series started the War for Cybertron characters in studio series as a “gamer edition” lmao

I would like to see Warpath from the DOTM game turned into a studio series toy

1:21 yo is my man dunking rn?

i really really hope they take this mold and remake it into a better and more accurate barricade figure

I had to floor polish the feet (they weren't bad but not great) and the left shoulder, as you mentioned. That was really bad out of the box.

If you ar careful you can get the doors to fold behind the back panel, and it actually looks pretty clean. Bit of a hump but it does give him a nice bit of mass

I just tightened all his joints with glue. In fact, I really appreciate how easy it is to get to all his joints for fixes

I will say I’m fully expecting a KO company to upscale him to MPM size and make him more Audi R8 like

I laughed at when you put sideswipe kill sideways

I played the PS2/Wii RotF game when I was a kid and he was so cool. The game made him one of my favorites.

I'm glad I waited for reviews before getting this. I love Sideways' design and this almost looked like it could be a winner, but after seeing that transformation, I'm staying completely clear of it because the clear plastic will not survive more than a month under that kind of stress. That and the amount of ball joints is disappointing.

Why does the beat at the start of the video go off so hard?

Us:please give us a repaint of ironhide Them:heres a character that was only alive for 12 sec

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time

His head and the way the chest flips up reminds me of ss barricade

0:50 jit got the Jenna aka agirljennifer pose

The feet of the ROTF Sideways mold are tiny but you're supposed to have the legs from the hip downward folded back more for a more chicken leg style rather straight normal legs as seen with your figure with the side panels above the ankles folded to face the inside of the legs and the wheels themselves to be used as the heels

1 year later and we have a whole subline called “Gamer edition” My man was a prophet

I actually wish he'd come with his sniper rifle from the rotf game instead. Not only cause it's my favorite transformers game (besides FOC), but also because it's just cooler looking. I do like the figure, but I agree with you about the door wings being too far apart. It's the same for Dino and all the bumblebees in SS.

It would be extremely nice to see a new four for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron game cuz I've played through the old ones like 50 times

I honestly only got the figure because he actually had a character in the DS game's which were even better then the console games

Is it just me, or does ROTF Dead End's headsculpt look just like Roberto from Futurama? 3:04 for reference

3:25 The boi is just nervouseee give him some slack 😓😭

I remember the time I had the old OG ROTF line Sideways. The black one, I think it was. That thing was awesome. Oh wait, LITERALLY 1:50 LMFAO

This is the reason why Sideways was there for a short time. Trans Theories, a transformers theorist, said that he was there for product, saying that Scavenger was gonna live or something, then the company of sideways vehicle said no, so they change it, THEN they said they want him back in, so they made a short clip of him escaping, since that was the last animation they made for him.

Sideways looks really good

would love to see ROTF Dead End from this guy

I watched a transformers stop motion meme video where for Sideways 2 other toys talking and then they see Sideways then 1 of them asks Sideways "Why are you walking like a crab?" Sideways answers "My name is Sideways" this was from one of OptiBlue16 Stop Motion credit goes to him u could try put that into a new Using Transformers Toys By Their Literal Names

I love how it looks like a cybertronian Audi R8

I wish he was a key character in the movie

I hate how car licensing works, ferrari did this with mirage as well, Studio series is supposed to be affordable while being as screen accurate as possible, i like the robot mode though

Are we forgetting that Sideways also made his appearance in the Transformers 3D ride in Universal Studios?

Totally agree about Car mode, front looks like an R8, rear not at all so it looks weird. But if that car was real and say something like an "Audi R5" or whatever Hatchback concept, that would be really cool! But I can't call it an R8 at all, the old one which I have that mold too, it looks way more like one, just wish Audi wasn't so stingy about their cars.

SS Dino has some components from the DOTM game

This is what the studio series Barricade should’ve been like

There are rumors that hasbro will make more ingame characters such as stratosphere and warpath from dotm, breakaway from rotf.

Wasn't sideways originally going to be barricade but they scrapped the idea

All units, be advised, we need Transformers: The Game Shockwave in Studio Series.

I seriously hope we get a Studio Series DotM Warpath

Yes more game characters for the Studio Series line. I need me a SS DOTM Warpath

you also can see that gun in movie previs so...

I love the fact that many people thought Sideways was Barricade is funny

Mine didn’t come with a manual so I had to watch a video 😢 and the legs for me were really hard to do

I would love to see the drones from the 2007 movie game to return in studio series

The car doesn't sit well with me, but man does the robot look great and I wasn't expecting that

Loose feet huh, so, you could say, he's prone to going *Sideways* * Dives off stage face first into the floor *

Since mpm jazz got his split in half gimmick then sideways should get his split in half gimmick as well if not then I gon bee madd. This figure does seem very nice, rather tempted by this and hot rod

omg thats a nice toy and sheesh it compacts at the underside of the car mode i love when transformers are almost kibble free on the underside of their vehicle modes and when its also nice and compact and not just a hollow mess also how dare you not put the toy sideways at least once

Hi if you had a ss jazz can you review him if you dont have him it's ok. I'm a big fan of your reviews

His vehicle mode almost looks like a Ford Focus-- ALMOST. As for the rear wheels, adjust his finger-joints. Chances are that there's friction.

Just a quick FYI this video seems to have been recorded at the wrong angle.

i would love if studio series made breakaway, or even warpath

studio series deluxe Breakaway when?

It’s the ps3 Rotf game I have it and playing as sideways is hella cool

Walmart had this guy packed with arcee and man I kiiiiiinda love him

If they do start making figures from the movie games we need DOTM Warpath
