QC: Sideswipe?

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

Wha? What, because he's primarily black with red detailing? It's the exact opposite of his G1 colour scheme, and until you brought it up, I never made the connection at all. Besides, he's a Lamborghini, not a Volkswagon. Hell, if anybody's an SSmobile, it's Red Bumblebee.

Yeah, Hitler drove a VW, but Hitler wasn't *in* the SS! G2Swipe is a Schutzstaffeln pogrom vehicle, not a posh officer's runaround.

The door's a dead giveaway!

lulz hotlinking. But I copypasted because I'm intelligent, thus I saw.

See, I always picture G2 Sideswipe as unstickered because...well, that's what I saw in pics of him initially, years back, so.

I picked him up today, and had no problems with him out of package.

Okay, done. In fact, OVERdone. It's super-tight, now. Oh, well. Better than it was. :roll:

You clearly put too much. But it's not like you can't make it loose again.

A buddy of mine got a headless Sideswipe. He was.....angry.

One of my Sunstreakers has the popping off arm problems.

It's all good. My only fear is that the screw is going to get twisted loose, but I can always re-tighten it if that happens. Not like I'm going to perpetually spin the door around or anything.
