'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.

==Product Lines==
===Champion (Classic) Class===
Designed as easy to build entry-level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its box. In March 2025, the lineup has been (largely) rebranded to ''Champion Class''.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation. A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]], featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

Wave 7 introduced additional standard points of articulation, ditching the figure stands.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

''New characters are in italics.''

New molds are in bold.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their faction symbol blocks activates their light features, so vigorous shaking is not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants.

The lineup also features some vehicles distributed that are designed to combine into a gestalt using an accessory set distributed through ''Blokees Club'' on WeChat.

:Released in the first-year assortment of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Autobot Cars]], Sideswipe transforms into a New [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Lamborghini Countach|Countach LP500S]]. His shoulder-mounted missile launcher can fire one of three included white missiles... in theory, as the springs were severely weakened for the US release [[for safety reasons]].

:He was re-released in 1985, with a [[rubsign]] added to his passenger-side door. He was also released in Japan this year, with the rubsign and his launcher spring-strength restored.

:When Hasbro released the original ''Transformers'' toys in continental [[Europe]] through its then recently acquired subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, several toys, such as the Autobot Cars, were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for [[Joustra]]'s version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line that was acquired by Hasbro as part of an agreement with Joustra and put into MB-branded ''Transformers'' packaging. For some reason, the [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Sunstreaker toy]] (sporting its yellow Hasbro ''Transformers'' colors due to being produced during the ''Diaclone''/''Transformers'' transitional period) was released in packaging intended for his brother Sideswipe, an entirely different sculpt. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy. It's currently unknown whether the actual Sideswipe toy was ever sold in MB "Sideswipe" packaging at all, although considering the origin of the MB-branded Autobot Cars, it's very unlikely for this to be the case.<ref name="mbsunswipe">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ "MB Transformers: Part 6"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

:This toy was originally released in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]: Car Robots'' line with minimal differences (mainly a lack of Autobot symbols), thus the small slot under he car canopy for a pilot figure the ''Transformers'' release didn't come with. This mold was also used to make [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Red Alert]], [[Clampdown (G1)#Toys|Clampdown]], [[Deep Cover#Toys|Deep Cover]], and [[Tigertrack#Toys|Tigertrack]].

:Released only in [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European]] (and certain Australian) markets the year after ''The Transformers'' ended in the US, [[Action Master]] Sideswipe is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure that combines elements from both his original toy and his [[Character model|animation model]]. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

:He comes with the [[Action Master partner|partner]]-unit [[Vanguard]], which forms a backpack and battle helmet for Sideswipe, and complements Sideswipe's color scheme quite well.

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, Sideswipe's original toy had his colors re-arranged to a black car mode with red and white robot parts, plus new [[neon]] green "racing" decals were added to the mix. His original rocket launcher was removed, and replaced with a large spring-loaded launcher that could be hand-held or mounted on his [[retool]]ed car mode roof.

: The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but is a new tooling based on the launcher that came with 1991 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] figure. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Jazz]] and [[Onslaught (G1)#Generation 2|Onslaught]].

: This toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Sideswipe (G2)|next-generation namesake youth]] in IDW Publishing's comics.

:*''Accessories'': Presumably gun, missile launcher, 1 missile

: Over the years, a mock-up of a second ''Generation 2'' redeco of the original Sideswipe toy has surfaced. Acquired and photographed by ''Transformers'' rarities-hunter [[Maziar Shahsafdari]], the find joins the ranks of the similarly unmade ''Generation 2'' [[Sandstorm (G2)#Toys|Sandstorm]] and [[Mirage (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|pink and green Mirage]] mock-ups. [[Package art]] for this Lamborghini figure published in the [[2014]] hardcover book ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' revealed that it would have had decals of a sunrise/sunset on the vehicle mode hood and doors.

: It is unknown if this figure would have been released as a new character or a recurring one. The previous set of ''Diaclone''-based Autobot cars in ''Generation 2'' as well as Hasbro's general pattern with 1995 trademarks certainly suggest that this toy would have been named "Sideswipe", but insufficient ''Generation 2'' documentation has surfaced to confirm this theory.

: Given that the previous G2 Sideswipe toy was released with two fellow ''Diaclone''-based wavemates, this figure would presumably have been released alongside [[Mirage (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|Mirage]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|Jazz]].

:One of several [[exclusive]]s to [[OTFCC 2003]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Sideswipe is a [[redeco]] of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Prowl (RID)#Toys|Prowl]] mold, once again transforming into a Lamborghini Diablo. A pair of add-on thrusters become arm-mounted launchers for robot mode; each one being a pressure-launch missile launcher.

:The part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a red [[sticker]] rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]]. The police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare. Prowl's sirens allow him to use a jetpack in robot mode, so there's an irony in leaving that feature out since jetpacks are a trademark of Sideswipe.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and the ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Generation 1 Sunstreaker]].

{{note|While the toy's name was spelled "Sideswipe" (one word) on its own packaging, the cross-sell on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack spelled it "Side Swipe" (two words) instead.

{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Pat Lee]] (packaging artist)}}

:The second ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy released, Side Swipe's [[alternate mode]] is a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Dodge Viper .28Chrysler.29|Dodge Viper]] (identified as an SRT-10 model by the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version) featuring opening doors, a detailed interior, and a hood that opens to reveal an engine bay holding a replica Viper V-10 engine. The vehicle mode also features movable steering and [[rubber tires]] with [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] wheels. His removable engine becomes a blaster.

:The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' Side Swipe and Takara's ''Binaltech'' "Lambor" releases is that the ''Binaltech'' version has die-cast metal parts for most of the car's outer body shell, with the exception of the rear end (the "backpack" [[kibble]] in robot mode), and the entire red exterior of the car is fully painted, unlike the ''Alternators'' version's flat red plastic. Furthermore, the ''Alternators'' version sports additional "blackwash" [[paint operation]]s on his chest the ''Binaltech'' version lacks.

:The Dodge Viper sculpt was originally designed to be a new body for [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] after the first attempt to secure the Corvette license had fallen through. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper mold was slightly redesigned, was given a new head sculpt and released as Sideswipe (or "Side Swipe") instead. This explains why, unlike most of the early Alternators toys, Side Swipe's robot mode bears little resemblance to his G1 self. The most noticeable redesign from the "Tracks" design was the vehicle mode's doors being moved from the "backpack" kibble (where they would have resembled the G1 Tracks toy's wings) to the sides of the arms, thus being the most obvious visual cue taken from the G1 Sideswipe toy. The doors are, however, still splayed out to the sides in the ''Alternators'' version's [[package art]] and can be moved to match Tracks's wing configuration, which implies that the redesign may have been done before the switch from Tracks to Sideswipe was made.

:This sculpt was [[retool]]ed to make [[Dead End (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Dead End]], who was then [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Alternators|Sunstreaker]] (although the retool was originally done with Sunstreaker in mind).

**''Accessories:'' "Laser gun", rocket launcher, 3 rockets
{{toydesigner|[[Pat Lee]] (packaging artist)}}

:The version of Generation 1 Sideswipe previously released as part of Takara's "Transformers Collection" series, albeit with its spring-loaded launcher de-sprung [[for safety reasons]], was reissued by [[Hasbro]] under the modified name "Side Swipe" as part of their [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] VIII, one of the last American reissues. However, because [[Toys"R"Us]], who had carried the Commemorative Series as an [[exclusive]] line up until that point, had abruptly decided to discontinue the line, Side Swipe was only released in very low quantities in the United States; in fact, his availability at TRU was considered a myth for many years. The unsold stock was made available a year later through [[KB Toys]] stores and outlets, at half the original price. The figure ''was'', however, available at Toys"R"Us stores in Australia and Canada in 2004 in average quantities.

:In 2012, several Commemorative Series figures, among them Side Swipe, were re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets, in slightly altered packaging. Unlike most of the other figures from this batch, Side Swipe retained the "Commemorative Series VIII" label on his box; however, the background color of the "choking hazard" safety warning label was changed from red to black, the Hasbro logo was updated to the then-current version, and the "+" after the "Ages 5+" recommendation was increased in size. Oddly, even though Hasbro had started spelling the name of toys of the character as "Sideswipe" again in 2008, this release still rendered the name as "Side Swipe".

*'''Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''
**''Accessories:'' "Flare Launcher", engine supercharger intakes
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Part of the third wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxe Class toys, Sideswipe is a retool/[[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]], transforming into a modified {{w|Lamborghini Gallardo}}. Though the car is mostly based upon the Gallardo, to avoid legal problems, it also features modified headlights and elements taken from other cars—most of them are taken from other Lamborghini models, such as a rear end that is basically a cross between a {{w|Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago}} and a {{w|Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo}}; however, the split side windows and the ridges on the door vents are based on a {{w|McLaren F1}}. He also comes with the same roof-mounted engine supercharger accessory as Sunstreaker. Hasbro's early plans for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had the two as straight redecos of each other, only differing in their head sculpts besides their colors—namely, Sunstreaker would have just been Sideswipe in yellow with a different head. It was [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Hisashi Yuki]] who suggested an alternate transformation by turning the upper body by 180 degrees (and swapping the hands to accommodate the different upper body orientation), thus providing more individual robot mode looks for the two characters that resemble their respective ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' designs more.<ref name="generations2009">Interview with Hisashi Yuki in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Vol. 1]]'', [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/223379-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-2009-vol-1-translation.html English translation] at TFW2005.</ref>

:[[File:SunstreakerSideswipeSDCC2007.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|''Universe'' [[Tigertrack]]. Fortunately, this didn't happen.]]
:Hasbro also originally intended the [[alternate mode]]'s supercharger to split into two halves which would then become the handgun and a spring-loaded shoulder launcher for the robot mode. On the final toy, the Flare Launcher (a redeco of Sunstreaker's Electron Pulse Blaster) can be combined with the removable supercharger engine accessory by wrapping the intakes around the gun and mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders to simulate Sideswipe's Generation 1 missile launcher. Of course, this leaves him without a hand-held weapon. The engine can also be mounted on Sideswipe's back as his [[Jet pack|rocket pack]]. Most of this is not shown in the [[instructions]], which only instruct the owner of the toy to put the gun in his hand and attach the supercharger to his back.

:Even worse, Sideswipe's instruction line art is recycled from Sunstreaker's instructions and therefore incorrectly gives him Sunstreaker's transformation and head, despite the [[stock photography|stock photo]] depicted on top of the instructions showing him with the hood as the chest and the correct Sideswipe head.<ref>[http://hasbro.com/common/instruct/83685.pdf Official Universe Sideswipe instructions PDF file on Hasbro.com]</ref> Unfortunately, the stock photo Hasbro provided to online retailers retains this incorrect transformation, and [[:File:UniSideswipeStockPhoto.jpg|throws in some additional mistakes as well]]. Oy.

:The Sunstreaker/Sideswipe sculpt was also retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Punch (G1)#Timelines|Punch]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Timelines|''Generation 2'' Breakdown]], and [[Breakdown (G1)#G1TimelinesBreakdown|Generation 1 Breakdown]], as well as ''[[Henkei!

Henkei!|Alert]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Generations|Red Alert]].

:The Japanese version of ''Universe'' Sideswipe has [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] silver on his flare launcher and his spoiler, but does not come with the supercharger engine/[[Jet pack|rocket pack]] accessory that Henkei Sunstreaker and ''Universe'' Sunstreaker/Sideswipe included. This was a willful decision meant to differentiate further between him and Sunstreaker.<ref name="generations2009"/>

:He also has correct, personalized [[instructions]] that aren't just Sunstreaker's. Like Sunstreaker, the Japanese version's roof paint is a much closer match to the red colored plastic. The Japanese version also features a glossier black paint and the white has a yellow tint compared to the white plastic used for Hasbro version.

**''Accessories'': Gun/tailpipe, engine supercharger intakes

:A ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-style redeco of ''Universe'' Sideswipe, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Sideswipe is pre-molded in new colors, which was unprecedented for the BotCon customization class exclusive (and apparently came as a surprise to [[Fun Publications]]). During the class, the mold was assembled, painted and stickered by the enrollees. Between the two classes, there were 52 participants.

:The exact brands and colors of paints utilized to paint this figure were:

:-Polly Scale #F414296 Stainless Steel (face and hub caps)
:-Polly Scale #F505020 Red RLM23 (this color is discontinued from the manufacturer)
:-Model Master Acryl #4769 Flat White (base coat under RLM 23 on hood)
:-Model Master Acryl #4768 Flat Black (tires)
:-Model Master Acryl #4721 Insignia Yellow (side markers)
:-Model Master Acryl #4637 Semi-Gloss Clear
:-Model Master Acryl #4609 British Crimson (tail lights)
:-Model Master Acryl #4746 Medium Gray (base coat under RLM 23 on upper arms, under Stainless Steel on face and hubcaps)
:-Vallejo #72023 Electric Blue (gun tip)

:In regards to the plastic mold changes, white remains white, but like the original ''Generation 2'' figure, the red and black colors are swapped. Clear green replaces the clear plastic used for the window and thighs.

:This figure uses the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Generations|Red Alert]] version of the mold, which includes two screw holes in the canopy (rather than one like ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert or none like all other versions of this mold). The samples [[Shawn D. Tessmann|Shawn Tessmann]] had on display used the original version of the mold, and lacked the screw holes. Despite the mold change, the lightbar was not included. These holes replace the slots used to mount the rocket pack in robot mode. The rocket pack can still be mounted on the gun in robot mode and in car mode though. As an unintended result of having empty screw holes over the rocket pack sockets, Sideswipe can now mount his gun inside either screw hole on the roof of his car mode.

:The unassembled figure was also given out to those who volunteered at BotCon 2010.

**''Kreons'': Sideswipe, [[Sideswipe's driver|Driver]]
**''Accessories'': Rifle

:''[[Kre-O]]'' Sideswipe can be built in either robot or G1-inspired car mode. His head sculpt is heavily based on [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Sideswipe]]'s head design, but as a first for a Sideswipe toy with a primarily red body, the head is ''not'' colored black, but ''red'' like the ''Generation 2''-inspired BotCon 2010 customization class version's head ([[#Timelines|see above]]). He comes with two [[Kreon]]s: a Sideswipe based on the Generation 1 character and a generic driver.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, his stock photography shows a different robot mode construction than the final product. The most noticeable examples are his lower legs which have a much less awkward construction in the stock photos than the final product. Whether this is the photographer taking creative liberty or if the set design changed is unknown. The stock photography also depicts the set as including the [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]] Kreon in place of Sideswipe.

:This set was also available in a [[Costco]]-exclusive two-pack with the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Kre-O|Megatron]] kit, which was basically just the two packages shrinkwrapped together.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, flare gun, two pile drivers (A), two pile drivers (B, Amazon.co.jp only)
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Lambor transforms into a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]], and even features a Lamborghini-supervised paint scheme, such as glossy red [[Paint operation|paint]] covering the ''entirety'' of his vehicle mode panels and robot shoulders, as well as various bits of black detailing to make it accurate to the real-life vehicle. Standing at around 6¼ inches (or 15.5 centimetres) from head to toe in robot mode, he is also in [[scale]] with MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Lambor lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.

[[File:MP-13 Lambor full color.jpg|left|thumb|The Amazon version's additional <s>cake slicers</s> <s>screwdrivers</s> pile drivers.]]
: For accessories, he comes with his hand-held flare gun, and his non-firing missile launcher, which is jointed at the peg to allow it to pivot up and down, and can mount on either shoulder in robot mode. His launcher and gun can be combined and mounted on a self-covering peg-hole on his vehicle roof/robot back. He also comes with a pair of pile drivers, which can snap onto the ends of his forearms when either hand is flipped in, and are based on the blunt arm pistons he uses in "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]". He is also compatible with the rocket pack included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th|MP-44 Convoy]], as it belonged to Sideswipe in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]], one additionally gets a different [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] pair of pile drivers, which are based on the jackhammer-like pistons he uses in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector's coin is included instead. Both the coin and its wheel-shaped package identify him as Sideswipe instead of Lambor. In Malaysia, Lambor included both the additional Amazon.co.jp pile drivers and the coin. A reissue of the figure in September 2015 came with a different coin, coming in a package shaped like Sideswipe's chest/front hood.<ref>http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/24/masterpiece-lambor-hasbro-asia-reissue-collectors-coin-300240</ref>

:This mold was redecoed and retooled to make MP-14 [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Alert]]. Lambor's version of the mold, with Alert's face, was then redecoed into MP-12T [[Tigertrack#Masterpiece|Tigertrack]].

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Like the original [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Sideswipe toy]], ''Masterpiece'' Lambor G-2 Ver. features mostly a straight-up swap of his red and black plastic and paint colors, resulting in a black body with red trim. His windows have been changed from translucent black to translucent red, his helmet is painted red, and he features a new, [[Derek Yaniger|Yaniger]]-licious snarling face with separately-painted [[Teeth|pearly whites]]. He comes with a [[sticker]] sheet that duplicates the original G2 toy's deco, as well as two comic-accurate ''Generaton 2'' Autobot symbol stickers of varying sizes. While the majority of the red car parts on the original Masterpiece figure are now black, portions of the robot mode that were previously red remain red. These areas include the back of his legs as well as portions of his torso.

:Instead of his original weapons, Lambor comes with new accessories based on the weapons he wielded in the Marvel G2 comic. These include a handheld machine gun and grenade launcher, a pair of articulated, non-rolling spiked wheels that can mount on his shoulders, and a sword, all of which can combine and mount onto his roof. Sadly, he does ''not'' come with a bandolier to properly carry that sword on his back, which means the sword just kind-of loosely stows there according to the [[instructions]].

:If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a recolor of MP-12 Lambor's collector's coin is included. Among other minor differences, the coin is now colored silver, and its wheel-shaped package now features a ''Generation 2'' Autobot symbol at the back in place of a Generation 1-type symbol.

His arms and feet remain a very light blue / off-white color to replicate the distinction in color his [[character model]] featured between the original toy's white plastic and vac-metallic silver parts. The Autobot symbol on his chest is larger. He now has MP-14 Alert's face in place of the original MP-12's face.

:He comes with three sets of pile drivers, the two from the original MP-12, plus the third set originally included with [[Clampdown (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Clampdown]], redecoed in grey, which is based on their appearance in "[[S.O.S.

The intended deco sheets for the two figures were revealed by the unofficial [[Pete Sinclair|Pete]]'s Robot Convention on Facebook in 2020, but later taken down at the request of Hasbro.

{{note|The Aligned Sideswipe toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Sideswipe in multiple continuities.}}
: Part of the third wave of 2012 [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Jazz (WFC)#Generations|Jazz]], featuring a mostly new vehicle shell, as well as having a new robot head and weapon. His massive "battle cannon" is modeled after a [[Path Blaster]] from ''Fall of Cybertron'', features [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]s for the handle and on its side, has a spinning, [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratcheting]] drum, and can extend its barrel. In an undocumented feature, the blaster can mount at an angle onto his vehicle rear, with the back of the blaster sliding into the spoiler. He features 5 mm ports for his hands, on his forearms/rear vehicle sides, and on his vehicle roof.

: In [[robot mode]], he features a case of [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux parts]]: The centers of his feet are fake wheels (attached to the legs via ratchet joints) that are hidden in the rear section of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], while his real vehicle mode wheels end up on the sides of his chest (partially obscured by panels) and on his forearms.

: His [[stock photography]] depicts him with blue eyes, but the final product leaves his eyes the same black/dark gray color as his head. ''Creepy.''

: The TakaraTomy version of the figure features a metallic red paint job on the entirety of the car and several other extensive detailing changes. The most notable of these include the metallic red paint, War for Cybertron style Autobot lighting effects all throughout the figure, maroon paint surrounding his striping, silver striping instead of white in car mode, metallic gray legs instead of white, and blue painted eyes instead of cold dead unpainted clear gray eyes. The TakaraTomy version also features the smaller pistol included with Jazz that was omitted from the Hasbro release.

: The new shell parts involved in the conversion from Jazz have a design flaw. Similar to Jazz, Sideswipe's back consists of two parts connected via hinge joint that are intended to lock into place by pegging into the pelvis. Unlike Jazz however, Sideswipe's back parts do not swivel far enough to be capable of latching onto the pelvis, leaving the instructions impossible and his robot mode unstable.

: Unsurprisingly, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Sideswipe was used for several depictions of Generation 1 Sideswipe. The TakaraTomy deco [[Sideswipe (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appeared]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series. This toy also serves as a rough stand-in for Sideswipe's body in "Season 1" of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series.<ref>[[Sideswipe (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sideswipe]] was redesigned by [[Andrew Griffith]] in [[The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|''Robots in Disguise'' #1]] based on [[:File:WFC Sideswipe.jpg|the game render]] from ''War for Cybertron'' and ''Fall of Cybertron''.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Sideswipe transforms from robot to Cybertronian car and back. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-10 Photo-Pulser Proton Launcher", and the "W-5 Gyro Blaster" (which inspired a similar accessory for ''Siege'' [[Six-Gun#Generations|Sixgun]] and [[Cromar#Generations|Cromar]]). Both weapons can combine to form the "RR Gyrofuse Axleswitch Hyper-Blaster." Due to the fact that there are two 5 mm ports on the W-5 blaster accessory, the W-10 can fit into both sides of the weapon. Sideswipe also features "battle damage" paint applications on his waist, shins, and feet, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:He has a rather aggravating issue in that his instructions are rather unclear and may cause you to try bending the knees farther back than you should, resulting in a broken joint and floppy leg. Also, his hood-chest may have trouble pegging into place.

:A jetpack intended for Sideswipe is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

Sideswipe was included in the "Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce" with [[Slamdance (G1)#Generations|Slamdance]] and the Battle Master [[Trenchfoot]]. As with the above figure, Covert Clone Sideswipe features battle damage, weapons, and hard points for "Fire Blasts".

:A preliminary name for this pack was "Firestormer Battle Pack", which showed up in several online listings, and also on Hasbro shipping cases for the set. The set was an [[Amazon]] exclusive in North America, which also label the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1." In Europe, it was ''supposed'' to be an Amazon exclusive as well, but was never actually stocked, although for some reason it was eventually stocked by ''third party sellers'', in European packaging even.

:"[[Sideswipe (G2)|Covert Clone Sideswipe]]" is a clone of Generation 1 Sideswipe in the scope of ''Siege'',<ref>[https://www.amazon.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-Generations-War-Cybertron-Siege/dp/B07NZ7W14Z "A clone of Sideswipe built for covert operations" Amazon listing]</ref> effectively giving the toy a characterization reminiscent of the ''Wings Universe'' Sideswipe clone with an appearance closer to the second-generation Sideswipe from the 2005 IDW continuity. Regardless, this toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as a new body for the original Sideswipe in a [[Volcanicus comic 2|''Generations Selects Special Comic'' chapter]].

:Promoting the ''Siege'' season of the [[Netflix]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this redeco of ''Siege'' Sideswipe slathers the Autobot in an ''extensive'' paint wash coating to represent accumulated grime and battle scars. In contrast to the ''Siege'' Sideswipe toy (and an oddity compared to most Sideswipe toys), the normally-red plastic components are actually grey and painted red to achieve the damaged look. This contained a portion of a cardstock background of [[Teletraan I]]. Sideswipe's part has tabs B and J, and slot C.

:This release was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the U.S. and Canada, and general retail in Asian markets. He is also available in Japan as a [[TakaraTomy]] Mall exclusive.

{{toydesigner|[[Ken Christiansen]] (concept artist), [[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of his ''Siege'' toy, transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S (though with some details closer to its predecessor, the LP400). His [[plastic|parts]] cast in red (primarily his vehicle mode parts) and roof/windshield are molded to closely resemble the earlier release of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sunstreaker]], even having molded notches to replicate Sunstreaker’s elbow cutouts. The missile, which is also cast in red, is a new sculpt, lacking the 5 mm post. The parts that are ''not'' cast in red (the wheels, shoulder cannon, and robot mode parts) remain the same. He also has the blaster first included with ''Siege'' Red Alert, cast in black plastic but painted white.

:The jet pack included with the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Deluxe Centurion Drone is still compatible with ''Kingdom'' Sideswipe.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CPld9tRrYka/ #TransformersTuesday], Sideswipe was released with [[Skywarp (BW)#Generations|Maximal Skywarp]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers.

:Being two Deluxe Class toys, Amazon priced the set at $44.99 USD, but Hasbro Pulse priced the set at $47.99 USD. Amazon later changed the price to match the other "Battle Across Time Collection" set at $52.99 USD, despite the other set being one [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Deluxe]] and one [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Voyager]] and this set only containing two Deluxe Class toys. The Amazon price was eventually reduced to the Hasbro Pulse price. Sheesh!

:''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution|Legacy: Evolution]]'' ''Toxitron Collection'' "G2 Universe Sideswipe" is a redeco of the above ''Kingdom'' Sideswipe, based on the conceptual ''Generation 2'' yellow & teal deco (see "[[#Notes|Notes]]" below). Interestingly enough, he uses Red Alert’s head, and his instructions even include the latter's light bar in the images shown transforming it.

:''Toxitron Collection'' Sideswipe includes the same [[for safety reasons|safety]]-modified missile that was also included with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Sideswipe (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Sideswipe]]. (Since the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' set's manufacturing date stamps place it before the ''Toxitron Collection'' figure, we consider it the first use of the modified missile.)

: Sideswipe and [[Dead End (G1)#Toxitron|Dead End]] were packed at only one each per case of eight toys, and as such ended up being highly picked-over compared to the other three Deluxes, which were all at two per case.

: The ''Toxitron Collection'' was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the United States.

His windshield is cast in solid red plastic with paint operations to emulate the game's cel-shaded artwork, along with a newly painted bumper, front lights, and tail lights. His feet, blaster, and the base of the missile have been painted silver.

:He was released as part of the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] "MTMTE Collection" and was made available for pre-order on [[June 6]], 2025, with a portion of the run also sold through [[Hasbro Pulse]]. His box art uses Red Alert's model (note the different horns).

===''Transformers Gum''===
*'''Lambor''' (1985, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' rocket launcher
:Essentially a downsized version of the original Sideswipe toy, the ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' Lambor kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

:This kit was reissued in 1997 by might-or-might-not-be official Transformers licensee [[ToonTown]] in [[South Korea]] (possibly, in a 2-pack with a reissue of ''Transformers Gum'' [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Transformers Gum|Starscream]] <ref>[http://fuwakudou.web.fc2.com/prisoners06.html One source] mentions obtaining two boxes of the ToonTown ''Transformers Gum'' releases with each containing two kits - the one numbered #1 featuring Optimus Prime and Soundwave and the one numbered #2 featuring Sideswipe and Starscream - but considering that none of the other (albeit admittedly very few) sources that discuss these kits mention a similar arrangement, it is possible that this was either a packing mistake or simply already-opened boxes being sold on the secondary market with two loose kits stuffed into them (the article does not specify whether or not the boxes they obtained were sealed, although they do look new-ish in the provided pictures). Still, considering how very little information exists regarding these releases in general, it will nonetheless be noted here that these kits ''might'' have been released as 2-packs at some point.</ref>), looking mostly identical save for a set of cheaper-looking paper decals.

:Released by [[ToonTown]] licensee LALA, this eraser also doubles as a small simple model kit, with his large colored bits being the "eraser" portion and the remainder of the toy being constituted of grey plastic parts that are assembled together. He transforms from robot to vehicle and back by [[Partformer|partforming]] his individual components.

:Although the promotional material for these releases feature his eraser bits in pink, it is possible that he might have also been released in bright green, as other LILA erasers that also show up as pink in promotional images have been found with this color instead.

* '''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Box set, 1986)
**''ID number:'' '''Collection No. 1'''

: The [[Decoy]] "Swipe" was first available in Japan as part of a big 22-pack of Autobot ''keshigomu'' rubber mini-figures. In this set (and all subsequent releases of this mold in Japan), Swipe has a number carved into his back that is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings; this was for use in the various games (sold separately) that could be played with the figurines.

: This set also included [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Decoy|Blaster]], [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Decoy|Bluestreak]], [[Brawn (G1)#Decoy|Brawn]], [[Grapple (G1)#Decoy|Grapple]], [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hoist]], [[Hound (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hound]], [[Huffer (G1)#Decoy|Huffer]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ironhide]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Decoy|Jazz]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Decoy|Mirage]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Decoy|Optimus Prime]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ratchet]], [[Red Alert (G1)#Decoy|Red Alert]], [[Skids (G1)#Decoy|Skids]], [[Smokescreen (G1)#Decoy|Smokescreen]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Decoy|Sunstreaker]], [[Swoop (G1)#Decoy|Swoop]], [[Tracks (G1)#Decoy|Tracks]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Decoy|Wheeljack]], and [[Windcharger (G1)#Decoy|Windcharger]].

*'''Swipe''' (Gashapon keshi, 1986)

: All fifty-three of the Transformers ''keshi'' were also available individually in Japan through "gashapon" capsule machines (presumably in Takara's own "[[Gacha]]"-branded machines), in a variety of different colors including red, blue, yellow, green, orange, sky blue, pink, tan and white. Given the random nature of their purchase and comparative paucity on the secondary market, we can't say with certainty that every one of the fifty-three figures was available in every single one of the different colors... but, hey, this ''is'' Japan we're talking about, so chances are pretty good they were.

*'''Scramble Gun Set Part.1''' (Box set, 1986)
*'''Scramble Gun Set Part.2''' (Box set, 1986)
*'''Water Gun Set''' (Box set, 1986)

: Takara subsidary [[Seven]] used the ''keshi'' molds, now in a uniform peachy color, as randomized filler in [[Seven#Decoys|a number of different sets]].

*'''Throttlebots''' (1986)
*'''Aerialbots''' (1986)
*'''Protectobots''' (1986)

: In Hasbro's markets, red Decoy Sideswipe was available randomly-packed onto special releases of the [[Throttlebot#Toys|Throttlebots]] and the carded [[Aerialbot (G1)#Toys|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)#Toys|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)#Toys|Technobots]]. This version does have one small but significant difference from the Takara versions: the number sculpted into his back side is a simple checklist number ("18" in this case), not his Tech Spec total.

:Released as part of the Golden Lagoon-based 2025 Yearly Box Set, this kit of Sideswipe is a redeco of the Shining Version kit, with its optics-head piece molded in translucent plastic, and the body painted a shiny Electrum-based gold paint and plastic, with some accessories (like the arm guards) being cast yellow underneath the gold paint. Like the Shining Version kits, he features a new LED torso frame that emits a (very bright) golden light to shine through the neck and optics if shaken (or flicked/tapped).

:The figure includes a golden back piece meant to peg in whenever the jetpack isn't used. The included blaster effect accessory is made out of two smaller pieces and is a new mold, unrelated to the 'fire' accessories for the jetpack. The base plate uses the same mold as the Shining version, cast in transparent yellow plastic. There's three accessories for the base plate, two 'explosion' effect pieces and a thin printed plastic sheet to cover it, which the 'explosions' also keep in place.

:As with the rest of the X Yearly edition figures, Sideswipe suffers from a case of Gold Plastic Syndrome, as his molded gold hinge joints can potentially snap off due to the swirly plastic.

**''Accessories:'' shoulder launcher, laser blaster, three pairs of hands (closed, open, gun-holding), one Piston A, one Piston B
:Set to be [[Threezero]]'s sixth new mold for its MDLX line, this Sideswipe is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Sideswipe is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, and features interchangeable accessories. He comes with the standard assortment of hands (closed fist, relaxed open, and gun-holding) plus one of each piston (one based on "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]", the other on "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]").

*During the 1990s, another company held the "Sideswipe" [[trademark]] in the "toys" field, even though Hasbro still released two toys using that name as part of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]] line (it's unclear if this resulted in any legal repercussions for Hasbro). When Hasbro finally managed to reclaim the name for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' line]], the name was now rendered as "[[Side Swipe (RID 2001)|Side Swipe]]", in two words, for whatever reason. The next two toys to spell "Sideswipe" as one word again were the [[OTFCC 2003]] [[exclusive]]<ref name="otfccsideswipe">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/sideswipe/485/ OTFCC 2003 Sideswipe], named "Sideswipe" on his own packaging.</ref> and the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Super-Con]].<ref name="armadasideswipe1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/toys/Armada/Autobots/Side+Swipe/side1.jpg.html ''Armada'' Side Swipe in original packaging], named "Sideswipe".</ref> However, the OTFCC figure was referred to as "Side Swipe" when featured as a [[cross-sell]] on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack,<ref name="otfccvipersisters">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/shadow-striker/483/1/10/ Cross-sell on the OTFCC 2003 Shadow Striker/Roulette two-pack's packaging], identifying Sideswipe as "Side Swipe".</ref> whereas the "[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Unicron Battles]]-style packaging redesign for the ''Armada'' figure saw the name changed to "Side Swipe" on the name insert as well.<ref name="armadasideswipe2">[http://www.shmax.com/product_details/835/sideswipe_with_nightbeat ''Armada'' Side Swipe in "Unicron Battles" packaging], named "Side Swipe".</ref> Hasbro ''finally'' decided to re-file the name "Sideswipe" (as one word) as a trademark in 2008, presumably because a [[Sideswipe (Movie)|character]] in the upcoming movie ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and the accompanying [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|toy line]] was going to sport that name, and Hasbro were using that as an opportunity to re-introduce the spelling of the name as one word. As a result, the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class toy was the first toy to "properly" sport the name "Sideswipe" as one word. Oddly enough, in 2012, Hasbro re-filed "Side Swipe", along with several other old trademarks.<ref name="swipe2012">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/latest-hasbro-transformers-trademarks-tow-line-armorhide-rollbar-side-swipe-175521/ Hasbro re-files old trademarks]</ref>
*[[Fun Publications]] considered making a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Sideswipe (as a straight redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe Class [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]]), but ultimately shelved this idea in favor of other products.

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.

==Product Lines==
===Champion (Classic) Class===
Designed as easy to build entry-level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its box. In March 2025, the lineup has been rebranded to ''Champion Class''.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation. A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]], featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

Starting from Wave 7, the ''Galaxy Version'' kit now features 2 or 4 additional points of articulation, and it ditches the figure stands.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

''New characters are in italics.''

New molds are in bold.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their faction symbol blocks activates their light features, so vigorous shaking is not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants.

The [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] vehicles distributed across the first three ''DV'' waves are designed to combine into Devastator using an accessory set sold through ''Blokees Club'' on WeChat.

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Champion (Classic) Class===
Designed as easy to build entry-level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its box. In March 2025, the lineup has been rebranded to ''Champion Class''.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation. A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]], featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

Starting from Wave 7, the ''Galaxy Version'' kit now features 2 or 4 additional points of articulation, and it ditches the figure stands.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

''New characters are in italics.''

New molds are in bold.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their faction symbol blocks activates their light features, so vigorous shaking is not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants.

The [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] vehicles distributed across the first three ''DV'' waves are designed to combine into Devastator using an accessory set sold through ''Blokees Club'' on WeChat.

Sideswipe (SG)

{{disambig3.5|the heroic Decepticon and former evil Autobot|his heroic Autobot counterpart|Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe}}
:''Sideswipe is a heroic [[Decepticon]] and former evil [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Sideswipe(SG).jpg|right|250px|thumb|In the mirrorverse, Sideswipe is a good guy! What a twist.]]
'''Sideswipe''' was once an evil [[Autobot]], and one of the most sinister of [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]'s elite [[Seeker (SG)|Seeker]] trio. This began to change when Prime killed the Seekers' leader, [[Drench (SG)|Drench]]. Though Sideswipe and Drench had their differences, he thought the assassination was a step too far, though Sideswipe kept quiet about his feelings. Things came to a head, however, when Prime suspected Sideswipe of increasingly conflicted loyalties, and conspired to have him ambushed and killed. As a result, Sideswipe joined the heroic [[Decepticon]]s. He now fights against Prime and all his evil [[Autobot]]s, though for different reasons than his new comrades.

Megatron has since partnered him up with [[Whisper (SG)|Whisper]] to improve his dour outlook. Since then, the two of them have become steadfast friends.<ref>''Shattered Glass'' Whisper profile in [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25|''Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club'' #25]]</ref> His brother, [[Sunstreaker (SG)|Sunstreaker]], is still loyal to the Autobots.

{{quote|This scar is a result of an ambush where I was left for dead by my 'comrades'. I wear it now as a badge of honor. I'm a survivor, and one day Optimus will learn what a mistake he made by crossing ''me''!|Sideswipe|"[[Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass]]"}}

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications ''Shattered Glass'' continuity===
[[Image:Sgsideswipewasonce.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Sideswipe: Exposition machine.]]
Sideswipe was a member of the Autobots as one of Optimus Prime's elite soldiers until he was ambushed and left for dead by his comrades. He then joined the Decepticons. When [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] traveled into his universe, Sideswipe immediately knew he was from an alternate dimension, as he had seen the other [[Cliffjumper (SG)|Cliffjumper]] die in front of his eyes. He then proceeded to explain to Cliffjumper the origins of their Decepticon-Autobot war. He then followed [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] during the attack on the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]''. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

Later, Sideswipe was part of the group of Decepticons who battled the Autobots for control of the [[Arch-Ayr]] fuel dump when [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] arrived with the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]], which managed to fight off the Autobots. Suddenly, [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]]'s army of [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobots]] arrived, and the mad scientist threatened to destroy the Autobots as revenge for exiling him. [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] managed to convince Wheeljack to use his army to destroy the Decepticons instead, and the mad scientist agreed...only for his army to turn on each other and scatter. Later, Sideswipe was one of the top Decepticons ordered by [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] to bring back the Dinobots for reprogramming, and he and Cliffjumper managed to locate [[Slugfest (SG)|Slugfest]], only for the hulking [[Goryu (SG)|Goryu]] to come to Slugfest's aid. The two managed to defeat the Dinobots and noticed [[Huffer (SG)|an Autobot]] on the horizon, who admitted that he was running from [[Grimlock (SG)|Grimlock]], but not before Sideswipe "convinced" him to admit it by telling him that Cliffjumper believed in [[Primus]]. The two later managed to track Grimlock to an old bunker which Sideswipe hesitated to enter, as it was where Optimus Prime had Sideswipe attacked for insubordination. Cliffjumper dismissed his concerns, and the two entered the bunker. While they examined some hieroglyphics, [[Omega Terminus|a booming voice]] ordered them to get out. However, the way out was obscured, as the tunnels around them had changed. While continuing on their journey, Cliffjumper fell into a trap and injured his leg. Later, the two met up with [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] and [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]]. Cliffjumper and Rodimus tumbled into a hidden passage, activating yet another trap, while Blurr and Sideswipe fought off a group of [[Mutant (SG)|Mutants]]. Rodimus deactivated the crushing trap, realized that this was the hiding place of the Omega Terminus, and decided to use it to create his own army. The mutants broke off their pursuit when Blurr and Sideswipe reached the Omega Terminus chamber.

[[Image:Dungeonsanddinobots grimlock transformed.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Now that he's smart, I bet he won't hurt us!]]
The four met up again on a narrow bridge overlooking a deep chasm, on the opposite side of which they found Grimlock, who explained that he was guided to the chamber by a strange voice. A light suddenly shot out of the Omega Terminus, giving Grimlock an ember, an actual personality, and a robot mode. Upon assuming said mode, he told the four that the Omega Terminus did not want them there. Cliffjumper attempted to challenge Grimlock, but additional lights shot out of the Omega Terminus, reanimating four corpses, among them [[Drench (SG)|Drench]]'s and [[Cliffjumper (SG)|the native Cliffjumper]]'s. Grimlock explained that the mutants bring the corpses to the chamber so that the Omega Terminus can recycle them as new life. The zombies were dispatched with [[Scraplet]]s, and the formless voice ordered the four to leave the chamber, which they were all too pleased to do. {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

Sideswipe was later present when Megatron announced the impending launch of the [[Nemesis (SG)|Nemesis]], and later boarded the Decepticon flagship. {{storylink|Do Over}} He, [[Blitzwing (SG)|Blitzwing]], and [[Bombshell (SG)|Bombshell]] attacked a [[Roll-N-Wash]] car wash which the Autobots were using to create an army of drone cars. Sideswipe kept the drones busy while the others attacked [[Brawn (SG)|Brawn]] and [[Elita-One (SG)|Elita-One]], but when Blitzwing began broadcasting his interference on the Autobot frequency, the drones went wild and Bombshell had to come to Sideswipe's aid. One of the pair blew a hole in the side of the car wash, coincidentally preventing Elita-One from killing Blitzwing. Bad news for them soon came, as they realized that Blitzwing's musical transmissions had begun spreading to Decepticon frequencies, and Blitzwing was unable to shut them off. It eventually forced Sideswipe and the Decepticons to go into emergency stasis until it was all sorted out. {{storylink|Blitzwing Bop}}

After [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]] was injured by a missile, Sideswipe put forward the theory that Shockwave could have died were it not for the fact he carried a large amount of [[kibble]] on his back. {{storylink|Transhuman}}

The initial idea was that he was masquerading as G1 Sideswipe (see next post) to infiltrate the Autobots. This idea gave way to Shattered Glass Sideswipe for 2008.|link=https://twitter.com/Joe_Toyark/status/1370391740591538179|site=Twitter|name=Joe Moore|year=2021|month=03|day=12}}</ref>

: Part of [[BotCon 2008]]'s [[exclusive]] figure series, Sideswipe is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Wheeljack (Armada)#Toys|Wheeljack]], transforming into a gullwing-doored supercar resembling a [[wikipedia:Ferrari F50|Ferrari F50]]. His most distinctive feature is the large, scarred Autobot symbol on the center of his chest. When his partner [[Whisper (SG)#Toys|Whisper]] is attached to his active rooftop [[Powerlinx]] port, both doors either side of the vehicle mode open up like wings, which also give access to the triggers for his door-mounted missile launchers. In robot mode, these missiles can be held in his hands as melee weapons. Unusually, his right wrist features a swivel joint while his left wrist is immobile.

: The deco is based on the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Color Changer]] [[Drench (G1)|Drench]] and his European counterpart, [[Aquaspeeder]] [[Deluge (G1)|Deluge]]; more specifically, the [[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|2003 ''Universe'']] line was supposed to include a redeco of ''Armada'' Wheeljack as [[Drench (Universe)|Drench]], which would have been released as part of a [[Battle in a Box]] two-pack with [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)#Universe (2003)|Smokescreen]], a redeco of ''Armada'' [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|Hot Shot]]. Although both figures made it to the [[prototype|test shot]] stage (and were inevitably leaked via auction sites), they ultimately remained [[unreleased toy|unreleased]]. Fun Publications then decided to revisit the idea, altered the deco slightly and reinterpreted it as the "Shattered Glass" counterpart of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] because of the similar look of the robot mode, with the car's front turning into the robot's chest, and also the similar head sculpts: For unclear reasons, ''someone'' (intitially, it was claimed that this was the work of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] without [[Hasbro]]'s knowledge, although many years later, the head was instead attributed to Hasbro designer [[Eric Siebenaler]]) had decided to give ''Armada'' Wheeljack a head sculpt reminiscent of ''Generation 1'' Sideswipe.

: He was only available in an at-show "souvenir" set along with Whisper, [[Blurr (SG)#Toys|Blurr]], and [[Rampage (SG)#Toys|Rampage]].

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' Sideswipe is a [[retool]]ing of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom| Kingdom]]'' Deluxe Class [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Sideswipe]] (itself a retool of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' version of the [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|same character]]) with a new hood, head and doors, transforming into a sports car.

:Although he includes a new version of his Mini-Con partner [[Whisper (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Whisper]] (who reuses some parts from the ''Siege'' [[Micromaster]] [[Storm Cloud (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Storm Cloud]] and [[Whisper (G1)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Visper]] figures), the two don't connect via a typical Mini-Con port; instead, a [[5 mm post]] on Whisper's bottom can be flipped out and plugged into a hole on Sideswipe's roof. Aside from Whisper, the other main new additions for the figure are two new club weapons designed to form the car mode's "running boards" based on the original ''Armada'' mold's missiles, which could be held as clubs. The car's doors are therefore retooled with slots that allow for the running boards to be attached. The doors with the running boards are also highlighted in the instructions as being capable of lifting up in vehicle mode to replicate the original toy's vehicle mode [[Powerlinx]] feature; however, this needs to be done manually, since attaching Whisper to Sideswipe's roof doesn't actually unlock any features.

:Additionally, he also includes the (non-firing) launcher and missile that came standard with the sculpt; however, the end of the missile that plugs into the launcher has been slightly retooled from previous versions: Instead of a large [[5 mm post]] with a tiny [[c joint|3 mm stub]] at the end, it's now a very short 5 mm stub (just barely enough to securely plug into the launcher) followed by a long 3 mm post. Supposedly, this decision was made [[for safety reasons]], since the modified missile can no longer be inserted into the roof of the car pointing upwards, thereby preventing it from becoming a pointy hazard for a person's feet. This modified missile was included with all subsequent releases of the sculpt, including the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]] Toxitron Collection'' [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Legacy|G2 Universe Sideswipe]]. (Since the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' set's manufacturing date stamps place it before the ''Toxitron Collection'' figure, we consider it the first use of the modified missile.)

: In a show of faithfulness to the original tooling, the new hood has an embossed Autobot insignia, after many years of using flat surfaces and tampograph printing to [[redeco|future-proof]] designs for use in different factions. Promotional shots depict him with a standard black and silver Sideswipe head, and not the light gray head with dark gray face of the final product. Curiously, the package art depicts him wielding the mold's standard rifle, a weapon he does not actually come with.

: Sideswipe and Whisper were only available in a [[Hasbro Pulse]] exclusive set with [[Rodimus (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Rodimus]], which went up for preorder on [[July 22]], 2023.

:Released in the first-year assortment of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Autobot Cars]], Sideswipe transforms into a New [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Lamborghini Countach|Countach LP500S]]. His shoulder-mounted missile launcher can fire one of three included white missiles... in theory, as the springs were severely weakened for the US release [[for safety reasons]].

:He was re-released in 1985, with a [[rubsign]] added to his passenger-side door. He was also released in Japan this year, with the rubsign and his launcher spring-strength restored.

:When Hasbro released the original ''Transformers'' toys in continental [[Europe]] through its then recently acquired subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, several toys, such as the Autobot Cars, were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for [[Joustra]]'s version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line that was acquired by Hasbro as part of an agreement with Joustra and put into MB-branded ''Transformers'' packaging. For some reason, the [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Sunstreaker toy]] (sporting its yellow Hasbro ''Transformers'' colors due to being produced during the ''Diaclone''/''Transformers'' transitional period) was released in packaging intended for his brother Sideswipe, an entirely different sculpt. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy. It's currently unknown whether the actual Sideswipe toy was ever sold in MB "Sideswipe" packaging at all, although considering the origin of the MB-branded Autobot Cars, it's very unlikely for this to be the case.<ref name="mbsunswipe">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ "MB Transformers: Part 6"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

:This toy was originally released in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]: Car Robots'' line with minimal differences (mainly a lack of Autobot symbols), thus the small slot under he car canopy for a pilot figure the ''Transformers'' release didn't come with. This mold was also used to make [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Red Alert]], [[Clampdown (G1)#Toys|Clampdown]], [[Deep Cover#Toys|Deep Cover]], and [[Tigertrack#Toys|Tigertrack]].

:Released only in [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European]] (and certain Australian) markets the year after ''The Transformers'' ended in the US, [[Action Master]] Sideswipe is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure that combines elements from both his original toy and his [[Character model|animation model]]. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

:He comes with the [[Action Master partner|partner]]-unit [[Vanguard]], which forms a backpack and battle helmet for Sideswipe, and complements Sideswipe's color scheme quite well.

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, Sideswipe's original toy had his colors re-arranged to a black car mode with red and white robot parts, plus new [[neon]] green "racing" decals were added to the mix. His original rocket launcher was removed, and replaced with a large spring-loaded launcher that could be hand-held or mounted on his [[retool]]ed car mode roof.

: The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but is a new tooling based on the launcher that came with 1991 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] figure. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Jazz]] and [[Onslaught (G1)#Generation 2|Onslaught]].

: This toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] to be a [[Sideswipe (G2)|next-generation namesake youth]] in IDW Publishing's comics.

:*''Accessories'': Presumably gun, missile launcher, 1 missile

: Over the years, a mock-up of a second ''Generation 2'' redeco of the original Sideswipe toy has surfaced. Acquired and photographed by ''Transformers'' rarities-hunter [[Maziar Shahsafdari]], the find joins the ranks of the similarly unmade ''Generation 2'' [[Sandstorm (G2)#Toys|Sandstorm]] and [[Mirage (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|pink and green Mirage]] mock-ups. [[Package art]] for this Lamborghini figure published in the [[2014]] hardcover book ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' revealed that it would have had decals of a sunrise/sunset on the vehicle mode hood and doors.

: It is unknown if this figure would have been released as a new character or a recurring one. The previous set of ''Diaclone''-based Autobot cars in ''Generation 2'' as well as Hasbro's general pattern with 1995 trademarks certainly suggest that this toy would have been named "Sideswipe", but insufficient ''Generation 2'' documentation has surfaced to confirm this theory.

: Given that the previous G2 Sideswipe toy was released with two fellow ''Diaclone''-based wavemates, this figure would presumably have been released alongside [[Mirage (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|Mirage]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|Jazz]].

: Lambor (Sideswipe) and Alert (Red Alert) were once again re-released together in January 2002 as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive "New Year Special" set. This version of the figure came with an alternate [[sticker]] sheet that changed the color of several of his decals: the blue stickers on his shins and stomach became red, while blue arrows on his feet were switched to yellow. He came with a new bio card with new art by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

**''Accessories:'' Left & right launchers/thrusters, 2 flame missiles

:One of several [[exclusive]]s to [[OTFCC 2003]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Sideswipe is a [[redeco]] of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Prowl (RID)#Toys|Prowl]] mold, once again transforming into a Lamborghini Diablo. A pair of add-on thrusters become arm-mounted launchers for robot mode; each one being a pressure-launch missile launcher.

:The part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a red [[sticker]] rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]]. The police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare. Prowl's sirens allow him to use a jetpack in robot mode, so there's an irony in leaving that feature out since jetpacks are a trademark of Sideswipe.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and the ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Generation 1 Sunstreaker]].

{{note|While the toy's name was spelled "Sideswipe" (one word) on its own packaging, the cross-sell on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack spelled it "Side Swipe" (two words) instead.

{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Pat Lee]] (packaging artist)}}

:The second ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy released, Side Swipe's [[alternate mode]] is a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Dodge Viper .28Chrysler.29|Dodge Viper]] (identified as an SRT-10 model by the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version) featuring opening doors, a detailed interior, and a hood that opens to reveal an engine bay holding a replica Viper V-10 engine. The vehicle mode also features movable steering and [[rubber tires]] with [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] wheels. His removable engine becomes a blaster.

:The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' Side Swipe and Takara's ''Binaltech'' "Lambor" releases is that the ''Binaltech'' version has die-cast metal parts for most of the car's outer body shell, with the exception of the rear end (the "backpack" [[kibble]] in robot mode), and the entire red exterior of the car is fully painted, unlike the ''Alternators'' version's flat red plastic. Furthermore, the ''Alternators'' version sports additional "blackwash" [[paint operation]]s on his chest the ''Binaltech'' version lacks.

:The Dodge Viper sculpt was originally designed to be a new body for [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] after the first attempt to secure the Corvette license had fallen through. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper mold was slightly redesigned, was given a new head sculpt and released as Sideswipe (or "Side Swipe") instead. This explains why, unlike most of the early Alternators toys, Side Swipe's robot mode bears little resemblance to his G1 self. The most noticeable redesign from the "Tracks" design was the vehicle mode's doors being moved from the "backpack" kibble (where they would have resembled the G1 Tracks toy's wings) to the sides of the arms, thus being the most obvious visual cue taken from the G1 Sideswipe toy. The doors are, however, still splayed out to the sides in the ''Alternators'' version's [[package art]] and can be moved to match Tracks's wing configuration, which implies that the redesign may have been done before the switch from Tracks to Sideswipe was made.

:This sculpt was [[retool]]ed to make [[Dead End (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Dead End]], who was then [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Alternators|Sunstreaker]] (although the retool was originally done with Sunstreaker in mind).

{{toydesigner|[[Pat Lee]] (packaging artist)}}

:The version of Generation 1 Sideswipe previously released as part of Takara's "Transformers Collection" series, albeit with its spring-loaded launcher de-sprung [[for safety reasons]], was reissued by [[Hasbro]] under the modified name "Side Swipe" as part of their [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] VIII, one of the last American reissues. However, because [[Toys"R"Us]], who had carried the Commemorative Series as an [[exclusive]] line up until that point, had abruptly decided to discontinue the line, Side Swipe was only released in very low quantities in the United States; in fact, his availability at TRU was considered a myth for many years. The unsold stock was made available a year later through [[KB Toys]] stores and outlets, at half the original price. The figure ''was'', however, available at Toys"R"Us stores in Australia and Canada in 2004 in average quantities.

:In 2012, several Commemorative Series figures, among them Side Swipe, were re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets, in slightly altered packaging. Unlike most of the other figures from this batch, Side Swipe retained the "Commemorative Series VIII" label on his box; however, the background color of the "choking hazard" safety warning label was changed from red to black, the Hasbro logo was updated to the then-current version, and the "+" after the "Ages 5+" recommendation was increased in size. Oddly, even though Hasbro had started spelling the name of toys of the character as "Sideswipe" again in 2008, this release still rendered the name as "Side Swipe".

**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''
**''Accessories:'' "Flare Launcher", engine supercharger intakes
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Part of the third wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxe Class toys, Sideswipe is a retool/[[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]], transforming into a modified {{w|Lamborghini Gallardo}}. Though the car is mostly based upon the Gallardo, to avoid legal problems, it also features modified headlights and elements taken from other cars—most of them are taken from other Lamborghini models, such as a rear end that is basically a cross between a {{w|Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago}} and a {{w|Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo}}; however, the split side windows and the ridges on the door vents are based on a {{w|McLaren F1}}. He also comes with the same roof-mounted engine supercharger accessory as Sunstreaker. Hasbro's early plans for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had the two as straight redecos of each other, only differing in their head sculpts besides their colors—namely, Sunstreaker would have just been Sideswipe in yellow with a different head. It was [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Hisashi Yuki]] who suggested an alternate transformation by turning the upper body by 180 degrees (and swapping the hands to accommodate the different upper body orientation), thus providing more individual robot mode looks for the two characters that resemble their respective ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' designs more.<ref name="generations2009">Interview with Hisashi Yuki in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Vol. 1]]'', [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/223379-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-2009-vol-1-translation.html English translation] at TFW2005.</ref>

:[[File:SunstreakerSideswipeSDCC2007.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|''Universe'' [[Tigertrack]]. Fortunately, this didn't happen.]]
:Hasbro also originally intended the [[alternate mode]]'s supercharger to split into two halves which would then become the handgun and a spring-loaded shoulder launcher for the robot mode. On the final toy, the Flare Launcher (a redeco of Sunstreaker's Electron Pulse Blaster) can be combined with the removable supercharger engine accessory by wrapping the intakes around the gun and mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders to simulate Sideswipe's Generation 1 missile launcher. Of course, this leaves him without a hand-held weapon. The engine can also be mounted on Sideswipe's back as his [[Jet pack|rocket pack]]. Most of this is not shown in the [[instructions]], which only instruct the owner of the toy to put the gun in his hand and attach the supercharger to his back.

:Even worse, Sideswipe's instruction line art is recycled from Sunstreaker's instructions and therefore incorrectly gives him Sunstreaker's transformation and head, despite the [[stock photography|stock photo]] depicted on top of the instructions showing him with the hood as the chest and the correct Sideswipe head.<ref>[http://hasbro.com/common/instruct/83685.pdf Official Universe Sideswipe instructions PDF file on Hasbro.com]</ref> Unfortunately, the stock photo Hasbro provided to online retailers retains this incorrect transformation, and [[:File:UniSideswipeStockPhoto.jpg|throws in some additional mistakes as well]]. Oy.

:The Sunstreaker/Sideswipe sculpt was also retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Punch (G1)#Timelines|Punch]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Timelines|''Generation 2'' Breakdown]], and [[Breakdown (G1)#G1TimelinesBreakdown|Generation 1 Breakdown]], as well as ''[[Henkei!

:A ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-style redeco of ''Universe'' Sideswipe, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Sideswipe is pre-molded in new colors, which was unprecedented for the BotCon customization class exclusive (and apparently came as a surprise to [[Fun Publications]]). During the class, the mold was assembled, painted and stickered by the enrollees. Between the two classes, there were 52 participants.

:The exact brands and colors of paints utilized to paint this figure were:

:-Polly Scale #F414296 Stainless Steel (face and hub caps)
:-Polly Scale #F505020 Red RLM23 (this color is discontinued from the manufacturer)
:-Model Master Acryl #4769 Flat White (base coat under RLM 23 on hood)
:-Model Master Acryl #4768 Flat Black (tires)
:-Model Master Acryl #4721 Insignia Yellow (side markers)
:-Model Master Acryl #4637 Semi-Gloss Clear
:-Model Master Acryl #4609 British Crimson (tail lights)
:-Model Master Acryl #4746 Medium Gray (base coat under RLM 23 on upper arms, under Stainless Steel on face and hubcaps)
:-Vallejo #72023 Electric Blue (gun tip)

:In regards to the plastic mold changes, white remains white, but like the original ''Generation 2'' figure, the red and black colors are swapped. Clear green replaces the clear plastic used for the window and thighs.

:This figure uses the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Generations|Red Alert]] version of the mold, which includes two screw holes in the canopy (rather than one like ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert or none like all other versions of this mold). The samples [[Shawn D. Tessmann|Shawn Tessmann]] had on display used the original version of the mold, and lacked the screw holes. Despite the mold change, the lightbar was not included. These holes replace the slots used to mount the rocket pack in robot mode. The rocket pack can still be mounted on the gun in robot mode and in car mode though. As an unintended result of having empty screw holes over the rocket pack sockets, Sideswipe can now mount his gun inside either screw hole on the roof of his car mode.

:The unassembled figure was also given out to those who volunteered at BotCon 2010.

**''Kreons'': Sideswipe, [[Sideswipe's driver|Driver]]
**''Accessories'': Rifle

:''[[Kre-O]]'' Sideswipe can be built in either robot or G1-inspired car mode. His head sculpt is heavily based on [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Sideswipe]]'s head design, but as a first for a Sideswipe toy with a primarily red body, the head is ''not'' colored black, but ''red'' like the ''Generation 2''-inspired BotCon 2010 customization class version's head ([[#Timelines|see above]]). He comes with two [[Kreon]]s: a Sideswipe based on the Generation 1 character and a generic driver.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, his stock photography shows a different robot mode construction than the final product. The most noticeable examples are his lower legs which have a much less awkward construction in the stock photos than the final product. Whether this is the photographer taking creative liberty or if the set design changed is unknown. The stock photography also depicts the set as including the [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]] Kreon in place of Sideswipe.

:This set was also available in a [[Costco]]-exclusive two-pack with the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Kre-O|Megatron]] kit, which was basically just the two packages shrinkwrapped together.

*'''Lambor''' ([[October 27]], [[2012]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, flare gun, two pile drivers (A), two pile drivers (B, Amazon.co.jp only)
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Lambor transforms into a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]], and even features a Lamborghini-supervised paint scheme, such as glossy red [[Paint operation|paint]] covering the ''entirety'' of his vehicle mode panels and robot shoulders, as well as various bits of black detailing to make it accurate to the real-life vehicle. Standing at around 6¼ inches (or 15.5 centimetres) from head to toe in robot mode, he is also in [[scale]] with MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Lambor lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.

[[File:MP-13 Lambor full color.jpg|left|thumb|The Amazon version's additional <s>cake slicers</s> <s>screwdrivers</s> pile drivers.]]
: For accessories, he comes with his hand-held flare gun, and his non-firing missile launcher, which is jointed at the peg to allow it to pivot up and down, and can mount on either shoulder in robot mode. His launcher and gun can be combined and mounted on a self-covering peg-hole on his vehicle roof/robot back. He also comes with a pair of pile drivers, which can snap onto the ends of his forearms when either hand is flipped in, and are based on the blunt arm pistons he uses in "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]". He is also compatible with the rocket pack included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th|MP-44 Convoy]], as it belonged to Sideswipe in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]], one additionally gets a different [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] pair of pile drivers, which are based on the jackhammer-like pistons he uses in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector's coin is included instead. Both the coin and its wheel-shaped package identify him as Sideswipe instead of Lambor. In Malaysia, Lambor included both the additional Amazon.co.jp pile drivers and the coin. A reissue of the figure in September 2015 came with a different coin, coming in a package shaped like Sideswipe's chest/front hood.<ref>http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/24/masterpiece-lambor-hasbro-asia-reissue-collectors-coin-300240</ref>

:This mold was redecoed and retooled to make MP-14 [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Alert]]. Lambor's version of the mold, with Alert's face, was then redecoed into MP-12T [[Tigertrack#Masterpiece|Tigertrack]].

**''ID number'': '''MP-12G'''
**''Accessories'': MA68S Machine Gun, GZS-3 Grenade Launcher, Broad Sword, 2 "Spike Armor" wheels
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:Like the original [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Sideswipe toy]], ''Masterpiece'' Lambor G-2 Ver. features mostly a straight-up swap of his red and black plastic and paint colors, resulting in a black body with red trim. His windows have been changed from translucent black to translucent red, his helmet is painted red, and he features a new, [[Derek Yaniger|Yaniger]]-licious snarling face with separately-painted [[Teeth|pearly whites]]. He comes with a [[sticker]] sheet that duplicates the original G2 toy's deco, as well as two comic-accurate ''Generaton 2'' Autobot symbol stickers of varying sizes. While the majority of the red car parts on the original Masterpiece figure are now black, portions of the robot mode that were previously red remain red. These areas include the back of his legs as well as portions of his torso.

:Instead of his original weapons, Lambor comes with new accessories based on the weapons he wielded in the Marvel G2 comic. These include a handheld machine gun and grenade launcher, a pair of articulated, non-rolling spiked wheels that can mount on his shoulders, and a sword, all of which can combine and mount onto his roof. Sadly, he does ''not'' come with a bandolier to properly carry that sword on his back, which means the sword just kind-of loosely stows there according to the [[instructions]].

:If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a recolor of MP-12 Lambor's collector's coin is included. Among other minor differences, the coin is now colored silver, and its wheel-shaped package now features a ''Generation 2'' Autobot symbol at the back in place of a Generation 1-type symbol.

His arms and feet remain a very light blue / off-white color to replicate the distinction in color his [[character model]] featured between the original toy's white plastic and vac-metallic silver parts. The Autobot symbol on his chest is larger. He now has MP-14 Alert's face in place of the original MP-12's face.

:He comes with three sets of pile drivers, the two from the original MP-12, plus the third set originally included with [[Clampdown (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Clampdown]], redecoed in grey, which is based on their appearance in "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". The instructions also depict the Red Alert mold for the transformation steps.

:When purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, ''yet another'' (number four for those keeping track at home) collector coin is included, cast in bright silver (as opposed to the brushed appearance of the G-2 coin), which also for the first time identifies him as "Lambor".

It would have either featured Sideswipe's regular head or a completely different, never-seen-before head sculpt. It was intended to be released as part of a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] two-pack with [[Reflector (G1)#Generations|Reflector]], a redeco of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' Deluxe Class [[Perceptor (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Perceptor]] that would have used that toy's alternate head sculpt. The intended deco sheets for the two figures were revealed by the unofficial [[Pete Sinclair|Pete]]'s Robot Convention on Facebook in 2020, but later taken down at the request of Hasbro. Oddly, the deco sheet for Sideswipe alternatively depicts the figure with a never-seen-before head sculpt and with Sideswipe's regular head.

{{note|The Aligned Sideswipe toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Sideswipe in multiple continuities.}}
: Part of the third wave of 2012 [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Jazz (WFC)#Generations|Jazz]], featuring a mostly new vehicle shell, as well as having a new robot head and weapon. His massive "battle cannon" is modeled after a [[Path Blaster]] from ''Fall of Cybertron'', features [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]s for the handle and on its side, has a spinning, [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratcheting]] drum, and can extend its barrel. In an undocumented feature, the blaster can mount at an angle onto his vehicle rear, with the back of the blaster sliding into the spoiler. He features 5 mm ports for his hands, on his forearms/rear vehicle sides, and on his vehicle roof.

: In [[robot mode]], he features a case of [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux parts]]: The centers of his feet are fake wheels (attached to the legs via ratchet joints) that are hidden in the rear section of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], while his real vehicle mode wheels end up on the sides of his chest (partially obscured by panels) and on his forearms.

: His [[stock photography]] depicts him with blue eyes, but the final product leaves his eyes the same black/dark gray color as his head. ''Creepy.''

: The TakaraTomy version of the figure features a metallic red paint job on the entirety of the car and several other extensive detailing changes. The most notable of these include the metallic red paint, War for Cybertron style Autobot lighting effects all throughout the figure, maroon paint surrounding his striping, silver striping instead of white in car mode, metallic gray legs instead of white, and blue painted eyes instead of cold dead unpainted clear gray eyes. The TakaraTomy version also features the smaller pistol included with Jazz that was omitted from the Hasbro release.

: The new shell parts involved in the conversion from Jazz have a design flaw. Similar to Jazz, Sideswipe's back consists of two parts connected via hinge joint that are intended to lock into place by pegging into the pelvis. Unlike Jazz however, Sideswipe's back parts do not swivel far enough to be capable of latching onto the pelvis, leaving the instructions impossible and his robot mode unstable.

: Unsurprisingly, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Sideswipe was used for several depictions of Generation 1 Sideswipe. The TakaraTomy deco [[Sideswipe (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appeared]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series. This toy also serves as a rough stand-in for Sideswipe's body in "Season 1" of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series.<ref>[[Sideswipe (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sideswipe]] was redesigned by [[Andrew Griffith]] in [[The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|''Robots in Disguise'' #1]] based on [[:File:WFC Sideswipe.jpg|the game render]] from ''War for Cybertron'' and ''Fall of Cybertron''.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Sideswipe transforms from robot to Cybertronian car and back. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-10 Photo-Pulser Proton Launcher", and the "W-5 Gyro Blaster" (which inspired a similar accessory for ''Siege'' [[Six-Gun#Generations|Sixgun]] and [[Cromar#Generations|Cromar]]). Both weapons can combine to form the "RR Gyrofuse Axleswitch Hyper-Blaster." Due to the fact that there are two 5 mm ports on the W-5 blaster accessory, the W-10 can fit into both sides of the weapon. Sideswipe also features "battle damage" paint applications on his waist, shins, and feet, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:He has a rather aggravating issue in that his instructions are rather unclear and may cause you to try bending the knees farther back than you should, resulting in a broken joint and floppy leg. Also, his hood-chest may have trouble pegging into place.

:A jetpack intended for Sideswipe is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

This contained a portion of a cardstock background of [[Teletraan I]]. Sideswipe's part has tabs B and J, and slot C.

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of his ''Siege'' toy, transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S (though with some details closer to its predecessor, the LP400). His [[plastic|parts]] cast in red (primarily his vehicle mode parts) and roof/windshield are molded to closely resemble the earlier release of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sunstreaker]], even having molded notches to replicate Sunstreaker’s elbow cutouts. The missile, which is also cast in red, is a new sculpt, lacking the 5 mm post. The parts that are ''not'' cast in red (the wheels, shoulder cannon, and robot mode parts) remain the same. He also has the blaster first included with ''Siege'' Red Alert, cast in black plastic but painted white.

:The jet pack included with the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Deluxe Centurion Drone is still compatible with ''Kingdom'' Sideswipe.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CPld9tRrYka/ #TransformersTuesday], Sideswipe was released with [[Skywarp (BW)#Generations|Maximal Skywarp]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers.

:Being two Deluxe Class toys, Amazon priced the set at $44.99 USD, but Hasbro Pulse priced the set at $47.99 USD. Amazon later changed the price to match the other "Battle Across Time Collection" set at $52.99 USD, despite the other set being one [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Deluxe]] and one [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Voyager]] and this set only containing two Deluxe Class toys.

:For whatever reason, despite being a depiction of a game version of the character, Devastation Sideswipe is not a part of the ''[[Transformers:_War_for_Cybertron_(franchise)#Gamer_Edition|Gamer Edition]]'' subline of Studio Series.

==Merchandise==
===''Transformers Gum''===
*'''Lambor''' (1985, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' rocket launcher
:Essentially a downsized version of the original Sideswipe toy, the ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' Lambor kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

:This kit was reissued in 1997 by might-or-might-not-be official Transformers licensee [[ToonTown]] in [[South Korea]] (possibly, in a 2-pack with a reissue of ''Transformers Gum'' [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Transformers Gum|Starscream]] <ref>[http://fuwakudou.web.fc2.com/prisoners06.html One source] mentions obtaining two boxes of the ToonTown ''Transformers Gum'' releases with each containing two kits - the one numbered #1 featuring Optimus Prime and Soundwave and the one numbered #2 featuring Sideswipe and Starscream - but considering that none of the other (albeit admittedly very few) sources that discuss these kits mention a similar arrangement, it is possible that this was either a packing mistake or simply already-opened boxes being sold on the secondary market with two loose kits stuffed into them (the article does not specify whether or not the boxes they obtained were sealed, although they do look new-ish in the provided pictures). Still, considering how very little information exists regarding these releases in general, it will nonetheless be noted here that these kits ''might'' have been released as 2-packs at some point.</ref>), looking mostly identical save for a set of cheaper-looking paper decals.

===LALA===
*'''Sideswipe''' (1997)
:Released by [[ToonTown]] licensee LALA, this eraser also doubles as a small simple model kit, with his large colored bits being the "eraser" portion and the remainder of the toy being constituted of grey plastic parts that are assembled together. He transforms from robot to vehicle and back by [[Partformer|partforming]] his individual components.

:Although the promotional material for these releases feature his eraser bits in pink, it is possible that he might have also been released in bright green, as other LILA erasers that also show up as pink in promotional images have been found with this color instead.

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy Sideswipe.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Don't swipe me on your writings.]]
* '''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Box set, 1986)
**''ID number:'' '''Collection No. 1'''

: The [[Decoy]] "Swipe" was first available in Japan as part of a big 22-pack of Autobot ''keshigomu'' rubber mini-figures. In this set (and all subsequent releases of this mold in Japan), Swipe has a number carved into his back that is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings; this was for use in the various games (sold separately) that could be played with the figurines.

: This set also included [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Decoy|Blaster]], [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Decoy|Bluestreak]], [[Brawn (G1)#Decoy|Brawn]], [[Grapple (G1)#Decoy|Grapple]], [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hoist]], [[Hound (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hound]], [[Huffer (G1)#Decoy|Huffer]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ironhide]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Decoy|Jazz]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Decoy|Mirage]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Decoy|Optimus Prime]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ratchet]], [[Red Alert (G1)#Decoy|Red Alert]], [[Skids (G1)#Decoy|Skids]], [[Smokescreen (G1)#Decoy|Smokescreen]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Decoy|Sunstreaker]], [[Swoop (G1)#Decoy|Swoop]], [[Tracks (G1)#Decoy|Tracks]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Decoy|Wheeljack]], and [[Windcharger (G1)#Decoy|Windcharger]].

*'''Swipe''' (Gashapon keshi, 1986)

: All fifty-three of the Transformers ''keshi'' were also available individually in Japan through "gashapon" capsule machines (presumably in Takara's own "[[Gacha]]"-branded machines), in a variety of different colors including red, blue, yellow, green, orange, sky blue, pink, tan and white. Given the random nature of their purchase and comparative paucity on the secondary market, we can't say with certainty that every one of the fifty-three figures was available in every single one of the different colors... but, hey, this ''is'' Japan we're talking about, so chances are pretty good they were.

*'''Hero Keshigomu Mini Mini Collection''' (Box set, 1986)
*'''Scramble Gun Set Part.1''' (Box set, 1986)
*'''Scramble Gun Set Part.2''' (Box set, 1986)
*'''Water Gun Set''' (Box set, 1986)

: Takara subsidary [[Seven]] used the ''keshi'' molds, now in a uniform peachy color, as randomized filler in [[Seven#Decoys|a number of different sets]].

*'''Throttlebots''' (1986)
*'''Aerialbots''' (1986)
*'''Protectobots''' (1986)
*'''Technobots''' (1986)
**''Decoy ID number'': '''18'''

: In Hasbro's markets, red Decoy Sideswipe was available randomly-packed onto special releases of the [[Throttlebot#Toys|Throttlebots]] and the carded [[Aerialbot (G1)#Toys|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)#Toys|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)#Toys|Technobots]]. This version does have one small but significant difference from the Takara versions: the number sculpted into his back side is a simple checklist number ("18" in this case), not his Tech Spec total.

*'''Sideswipe''' (MDLX, Q2 2024)
**''Accessories:'' shoulder launcher, laser blaster, three pairs of hands (closed, open, gun-holding), one Piston A, one Piston B
:Set to be [[Threezero]]'s sixth new mold for its MDLX line, this Sideswipe is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Sideswipe is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, and features interchangeable accessories. He comes with the standard assortment of hands (closed fist, relaxed open, and gun-holding) plus one of each piston (one based on "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]", the other on "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]"). Weaponry includes an articulated shoulder launcher and rifle based off the one with his original toy.

:Sideswipe was [https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/03/11/tfcon-la-2023-dealer-room-round-up-reveals-477379 revealed as a grayscale prototype] at TFCon LA 2023.

==Notes==
[[File:G2-boxart-Sideswipe-unreleased.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

*During the 1990s, another company held the "Sideswipe" [[trademark]] in the "toys" field, even though Hasbro still released two toys using that name as part of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]] line (it's unclear if this resulted in any legal repercussions for Hasbro). When Hasbro finally managed to reclaim the name for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' line]], the name was now rendered as "[[Side Swipe (RID 2001)|Side Swipe]]", in two words, for whatever reason. The next two toys to spell "Sideswipe" as one word again were the [[OTFCC 2003]] [[exclusive]]<ref name="otfccsideswipe">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/sideswipe/485/ OTFCC 2003 Sideswipe], named "Sideswipe" on his own packaging.</ref> and the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Super-Con]].<ref name="armadasideswipe1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/toys/Armada/Autobots/Side+Swipe/side1.jpg.html ''Armada'' Side Swipe in original packaging], named "Sideswipe".</ref> However, the OTFCC figure was referred to as "Side Swipe" when featured as a [[cross-sell]] on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack,<ref name="otfccvipersisters">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/shadow-striker/483/1/10/ Cross-sell on the OTFCC 2003 Shadow Striker/Roulette two-pack's packaging], identifying Sideswipe as "Side Swipe".</ref> whereas the "[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Unicron Battles]]-style packaging redesign for the ''Armada'' figure saw the name changed to "Side Swipe" on the name insert as well.<ref name="armadasideswipe2">[http://www.shmax.com/product_details/835/sideswipe_with_nightbeat ''Armada'' Side Swipe in "Unicron Battles" packaging], named "Side Swipe".</ref> Hasbro ''finally'' decided to re-file the name "Sideswipe" (as one word) as a trademark in 2008, presumably because a [[Sideswipe (Movie)|character]] in the upcoming movie ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and the accompanying [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|toy line]] was going to sport that name, and Hasbro were using that as an opportunity to re-introduce the spelling of the name as one word. As a result, the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class toy was the first toy to "properly" sport the name "Sideswipe" as one word. Oddly enough, in 2012, Hasbro re-filed "Side Swipe", along with several other old trademarks.<ref name="swipe2012">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/latest-hasbro-transformers-trademarks-tow-line-armorhide-rollbar-side-swipe-175521/ Hasbro re-files old trademarks]</ref>
*[[Fun Publications]] considered making a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Sideswipe (as a straight redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe Class [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]]), but ultimately shelved this idea in favor of other products.

:Released in the first-year assortment of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' [[Autobot Cars]], Sideswipe transforms into a New [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Lamborghini Countach|Countach LP500S]]. His shoulder-mounted missile launcher can fire one of three included white missiles... in theory, as the springs were severely weakened for the US release [[for safety reasons]].

:He was re-released in 1985, with a [[rubsign]] added to his passenger-side door. He was also released in Japan this year, with the rubsign and his launcher spring-strength restored.

:When Hasbro released the original ''Transformers'' toys in continental [[Europe]] through its then recently acquired subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] in 1985, several toys, such as the Autobot Cars, were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for [[Joustra]]'s version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line that was acquired by Hasbro as part of an agreement with Joustra and put into MB-branded ''Transformers'' packaging. For some reason, the [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Sunstreaker toy]] (sporting its yellow Hasbro ''Transformers'' colors due to being produced during the ''Diaclone''/''Transformers'' transitional period) was released in packaging intended for his brother Sideswipe, an entirely different sculpt. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy. It's currently unknown whether the actual Sideswipe toy was ever sold in MB "Sideswipe" packaging at all, although considering the origin of the MB-branded Autobot Cars, it's very unlikely for this to be the case.<ref name="mbsunswipe">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-6/ "MB Transformers: Part 6"] at 20th Century Toy Collector.</ref>

:This toy was originally released in Takara's ''[[Diaclone]]: Car Robots'' line with minimal differences (mainly a lack of Autobot symbols), thus the small slot under he car canopy for a pilot figure the ''Transformers'' release didn't come with. This mold was also used to make [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Red Alert]], [[Clampdown (G1)#Toys|Clampdown]], [[Deep Cover#Toys|Deep Cover]], and [[Tigertrack#Toys|Tigertrack]].

:Released only in [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European]] (and certain Australian) markets the year after ''The Transformers'' ended in the US, [[Action Master]] Sideswipe is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure that combines elements from both his original toy and his [[Character model|animation model]]. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.

:He comes with the [[Action Master partner|partner]]-unit [[Vanguard]], which forms a backpack and battle helmet for Sideswipe, and complements Sideswipe's color scheme quite well.

: Part of the very first assortment of ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' product released just in time for the 1992 holiday season, Sideswipe's original toy had his colors re-arranged to a black car mode with red and white robot parts, plus new [[neon]] green "racing" decals were added to the mix. His original rocket launcher was removed, and replaced with a large spring-loaded launcher that could be hand-held or mounted on his [[retool]]ed car mode roof.

: The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but is a new tooling based on the launcher that came with 1991 ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.

: Over the years, a mock-up of a second ''Generation 2'' redeco of the original Sideswipe toy has surfaced. Acquired and photographed by ''Transformers'' rarities-hunter [[Maziar Shahsafdari]], the find joins the ranks of the similarly unmade ''Generation 2'' [[Sandstorm (G2)#Toys|Sandstorm]] and [[Mirage (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|pink and green Mirage]] mock-ups. [[Package art]] for this Lamborghini figure published in the [[2014]] hardcover book ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' revealed that it would have had decals of a sunrise/sunset on the vehicle mode hood and doors.

: It is unknown if this figure would have been released as a new character or a recurring one. The previous set of ''Diaclone''-based Autobot cars in ''Generation 2'' as well as Hasbro's general pattern with 1995 trademarks certainly suggest that this toy would have been named "Sideswipe", but insufficient ''Generation 2'' documentation has surfaced to confirm this theory.

: Given that the previous G2 Sideswipe toy was released with two fellow ''Diaclone''-based wavemates, this figure would presumably have been released alongside [[Mirage (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|Mirage]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G2DiacloneUnreleased|Jazz]].

: Lambor (Sideswipe) and Alert (Red Alert) were once again re-released together in January 2002 as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive "New Year Special" set. This version of the figure came with an alternate [[sticker]] sheet that changed the color of several of his decals: the blue stickers on his shins and stomach became red, while blue arrows on his feet were switched to yellow. He came with a new bio card with new art by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

*'''Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right launchers/thrusters, 2 flame missiles

:One of several [[exclusive]]s to [[OTFCC 2003]], ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Sideswipe is a [[redeco]] of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Prowl (RID)#Toys|Prowl]] mold, once again transforming into a Lamborghini Diablo. A pair of add-on thrusters become arm-mounted launchers for robot mode; each one being a pressure-launch missile launcher.

:The part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a red [[sticker]] rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]]. The police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare. Prowl's sirens allow him to use a jetpack in robot mode, so there's an irony in leaving that feature out since jetpacks are a trademark of Sideswipe.

:This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and the ''Universe'' incarnation of [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Generation 1 Sunstreaker]].

{{note|While the toy's name was spelled "Sideswipe" (one word) on its own packaging, the cross-sell on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack spelled it "Side Swipe" (two words) instead.

{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Pat Lee]] (packaging artist)}}

:The second ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy released, Side Swipe's [[alternate mode]] is a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Dodge Viper .28Chrysler.29|Dodge Viper]] (identified as an SRT-10 model by the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version) featuring opening doors, a detailed interior, and a hood that opens to reveal an engine bay holding a replica Viper V-10 engine. The vehicle mode also features movable steering and [[rubber tires]] with [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] wheels. His removable engine becomes a blaster.

:The main difference between Hasbro's ''Alternators'' Side Swipe and Takara's ''Binaltech'' "Lambor" releases is that the ''Binaltech'' version has die-cast metal parts for most of the car's outer body shell, with the exception of the rear end (the "backpack" [[kibble]] in robot mode), and the entire red exterior of the car is fully painted, unlike the ''Alternators'' version's flat red plastic. Furthermore, the ''Alternators'' version sports additional "blackwash" [[paint operation]]s on his chest the ''Binaltech'' version lacks.

:The Dodge Viper sculpt was originally designed to be a new body for [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] after the first attempt to secure the Corvette license had fallen through. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper mold was slightly redesigned, was given a new head sculpt and released as Sideswipe (or "Side Swipe") instead. This explains why, unlike most of the early Alternators toys, Side Swipe's robot mode bears little resemblance to his G1 self. The most noticeable redesign from the "Tracks" design was the vehicle mode's doors being moved from the "backpack" kibble (where they would have resembled the G1 Tracks toy's wings) to the sides of the arms, thus being the most obvious visual cue taken from the G1 Sideswipe toy. The doors are, however, still splayed out to the sides in the ''Alternators'' version's [[package art]] and can be moved to match Tracks's wing configuration, which implies that the redesign may have been done before the switch from Tracks to Sideswipe was made.

:This sculpt was [[retool]]ed to make [[Dead End (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Dead End]], who was then [[redeco]]ed into [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Alternators|Sunstreaker]] (although the retool was originally done with Sunstreaker in mind).

{{toydesigner|[[Pat Lee]] (packaging artist)}}

:The version of Generation 1 Sideswipe previously released as part of Takara's "Transformers Collection" series, albeit with its spring-loaded launcher de-sprung [[for safety reasons]], was reissued by [[Hasbro]] under the modified name "Side Swipe" as part of their [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] VIII, one of the last American reissues. However, because [[Toys"R"Us]], who had carried the Commemorative Series as an [[exclusive]] line up until that point, had abruptly decided to discontinue the line, Side Swipe was only released in very low quantities in the United States; in fact, his availability at TRU was considered a myth for many years. The unsold stock was made available a year later through [[KB Toys]] stores and outlets, at half the original price. The figure ''was'', however, available at Toys"R"Us stores in Australia and Canada in 2004 in average quantities.

:In 2012, several Commemorative Series figures, among them Side Swipe, were re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets, in slightly altered packaging. Unlike most of the other figures from this batch, Side Swipe retained the "Commemorative Series VIII" label on his box; however, the background color of the "choking hazard" safety warning label was changed from red to black, the Hasbro logo was updated to the then-current version, and the "+" after the "Ages 5+" recommendation was increased in size. Oddly, even though Hasbro had started spelling the name of toys of the character as "Sideswipe" again in 2008, this release still rendered the name as "Side Swipe".

**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''
**''Accessories:'' "Flare Launcher", engine supercharger intakes
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro), [[Hisashi Yuki]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Andrew Scribner]] (deco artist)}}

:Part of the third wave of [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxe Class toys, Sideswipe is a retool/[[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Sunstreaker]], transforming into a modified {{w|Lamborghini Gallardo}}. Though the car is mostly based upon the Gallardo, to avoid legal problems, it also features modified headlights and elements taken from other cars—most of them are taken from other Lamborghini models, such as a rear end that is basically a cross between a {{w|Lamborghini Murciélago|Murciélago}} and a {{w|Lamborghini Diablo|Diablo}}; however, the split side windows and the ridges on the door vents are based on a {{w|McLaren F1}}. He also comes with the same roof-mounted engine supercharger accessory as Sunstreaker. Hasbro's early plans for Sunstreaker and Sideswipe had the two as straight redecos of each other, only differing in their head sculpts besides their colors—namely, Sunstreaker would have just been Sideswipe in yellow with a different head. It was [[TakaraTomy]] designer [[Hisashi Yuki]] who suggested an alternate transformation by turning the upper body by 180 degrees (and swapping the hands to accommodate the different upper body orientation), thus providing more individual robot mode looks for the two characters that resemble their respective ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' designs more.<ref name="generations2009">Interview with Hisashi Yuki in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009 Vol. 1]]'', [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/223379-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-2009-vol-1-translation.html English translation] at TFW2005.</ref>

:[[File:SunstreakerSideswipeSDCC2007.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|''Universe'' [[Tigertrack]]. Fortunately, this didn't happen.]]
:Hasbro also originally intended the [[alternate mode]]'s supercharger to split into two halves which would then become the handgun and a spring-loaded shoulder launcher for the robot mode. On the final toy, the Flare Launcher (a redeco of Sunstreaker's Electron Pulse Blaster) can be combined with the removable supercharger engine accessory by wrapping the intakes around the gun and mounted in either of the holes on his shoulders to simulate Sideswipe's Generation 1 missile launcher. Of course, this leaves him without a hand-held weapon. The engine can also be mounted on Sideswipe's back as his [[Jet pack|rocket pack]]. Most of this is not shown in the [[instructions]], which only instruct the owner of the toy to put the gun in his hand and attach the supercharger to his back.

:Even worse, Sideswipe's instruction line art is recycled from Sunstreaker's instructions and therefore incorrectly gives him Sunstreaker's transformation and head, despite the [[stock photography|stock photo]] depicted on top of the instructions showing him with the hood as the chest and the correct Sideswipe head.<ref>[http://hasbro.com/common/instruct/83685.pdf Official Universe Sideswipe instructions PDF file on Hasbro.com]</ref> Unfortunately, the stock photo Hasbro provided to online retailers retains this incorrect transformation, and [[:File:UniSideswipeStockPhoto.jpg|throws in some additional mistakes as well]]. Oy.

:The Sunstreaker/Sideswipe sculpt was also retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Punch (G1)#Timelines|Punch]], [[Breakdown (G1)#Timelines|''Generation 2'' Breakdown]], and [[Breakdown (G1)#G1TimelinesBreakdown|Generation 1 Breakdown]], as well as ''[[Henkei!

:A ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-style redeco of ''Universe'' Sideswipe, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Sideswipe is pre-molded in new colors, which was unprecedented for the BotCon customization class exclusive (and apparently came as a surprise to [[Fun Publications]]). During the class, the mold was assembled, painted and stickered by the enrollees. Between the two classes, there were 52 participants.

:The exact brands and colors of paints utilized to paint this figure were:

:-Polly Scale #F414296 Stainless Steel (face and hub caps)
:-Polly Scale #F505020 Red RLM23 (this color is discontinued from the manufacturer)
:-Model Master Acryl #4769 Flat White (base coat under RLM 23 on hood)

:-Model Master Acryl #4721 Insignia Yellow (side markers)
:-Model Master Acryl #4637 Semi-Gloss Clear
:-Model Master Acryl #4609 British Crimson (tail lights)
:-Model Master Acryl #4746 Medium Gray (base coat under RLM 23 on upper arms, under Stainless Steel on face and hubcaps)
:-Vallejo #72023 Electric Blue (gun tip)

:In regards to the plastic mold changes, white remains white, but like the original ''Generation 2'' figure, the red and black colors are swapped. Clear green replaces the clear plastic used for the window and thighs.

:This figure uses the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Generations|Red Alert]] version of the mold, which includes two screw holes in the canopy (rather than one like ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Alert or none like all other versions of this mold). The samples [[Shawn D. Tessmann|Shawn Tessmann]] had on display used the original version of the mold, and lacked the screw holes. Despite the mold change, the lightbar was not included. These holes replace the slots used to mount the rocket pack in robot mode. The rocket pack can still be mounted on the gun in robot mode and in car mode though. As an unintended result of having empty screw holes over the rocket pack sockets, Sideswipe can now mount his gun inside either screw hole on the roof of his car mode.

:The unassembled figure was also given out to those who volunteered at BotCon 2010.

:''[[Kre-O]]'' Sideswipe can be built in either robot or G1-inspired car mode. His head sculpt is heavily based on [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Sideswipe]]'s head design, but as a first for a Sideswipe toy with a primarily red body, the head is ''not'' colored black, but ''red'' like the ''Generation 2''-inspired BotCon 2010 customization class version's head ([[#Timelines|see above]]). He comes with two [[Kreon]]s: a Sideswipe based on the Generation 1 character and a generic driver.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, his stock photography shows a different robot mode construction than the final product. The most noticeable examples are his lower legs which have a much less awkward construction in the stock photos than the final product. Whether this is the photographer taking creative liberty or if the set design changed is unknown. The stock photography also depicts the set as including the [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]] Kreon in place of Sideswipe.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}
: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Lambor transforms into a licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]], and even features a Lamborghini-supervised paint scheme, such as glossy red [[Paint operation|paint]] covering the ''entirety'' of his vehicle mode panels and robot shoulders, as well as various bits of black detailing to make it accurate to the real-life vehicle. Standing at around 6¼ inches (or 15.5 centimetres) from head to toe in robot mode, he is also in [[scale]] with MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Lambor lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.

[[File:MP-13 Lambor full color.jpg|left|thumb|The Amazon version's additional <s>cake slicers</s> <s>screwdrivers</s> pile drivers.]]
: For accessories, he comes with his hand-held flare gun, and his non-firing missile launcher, which is jointed at the peg to allow it to pivot up and down, and can mount on either shoulder in robot mode. His launcher and gun can be combined and mounted on a self-covering peg-hole on his vehicle roof/robot back. He also comes with a pair of pile drivers, which can snap onto the ends of his forearms when either hand is flipped in, and are based on the blunt arm pistons he uses in "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]". He is also compatible with the rocket pack included with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th|MP-44 Convoy]], as it belonged to Sideswipe in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]], one additionally gets a different [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] pair of pile drivers, which are based on the jackhammer-like pistons he uses in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector's coin is included instead. Both the coin and its wheel-shaped package identify him as Sideswipe instead of Lambor. In Malaysia, Lambor included both the additional Amazon.co.jp pile drivers and the coin. A reissue of the figure in September 2015 came with a different coin, coming in a package shaped like Sideswipe's chest/front hood.<ref>http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/08/24/masterpiece-lambor-hasbro-asia-reissue-collectors-coin-300240</ref>

:Like the original [[#Generation 2|''Generation 2'' Sideswipe toy]], ''Masterpiece'' Lambor G-2 Ver. features mostly a straight-up swap of his red and black plastic and paint colors, resulting in a black body with red trim. His windows have been changed from translucent black to translucent red, his helmet is painted red, and he features a new, [[Derek Yaniger|Yaniger]]-licious snarling face with separately-painted [[Teeth|pearly whites]]. He comes with a [[sticker]] sheet that duplicates the original G2 toy's deco, as well as two comic-accurate ''Generaton 2'' Autobot symbol stickers of varying sizes. While the majority of the red car parts on the original Masterpiece figure are now black, portions of the robot mode that were previously red remain red. These areas include the back of his legs as well as portions of his torso.

:Instead of his original weapons, Lambor comes with new accessories based on the weapons he wielded in the Marvel G2 comic. These include a handheld machine gun and grenade launcher, a pair of articulated, non-rolling spiked wheels that can mount on his shoulders, and a sword, all of which can combine and mount onto his roof. Sadly, he does ''not'' come with a bandolier to properly carry that sword on his back, which means the sword just kind-of loosely stows there according to the [[instructions]].

:If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a recolor of MP-12 Lambor's collector's coin is included. Among other minor differences, the coin is now colored silver, and its wheel-shaped package now features a ''Generation 2'' Autobot symbol at the back in place of a Generation 1-type symbol.

It was intended to be released as part of a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] two-pack with [[Reflector (G1)#Generations|Reflector]], a redeco of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|Reveal the Shield]]'' Deluxe Class [[Perceptor (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Perceptor]] that would have used that toy's alternate head sculpt. The intended deco sheets for the two figures were revealed by the unofficial [[Pete Sinclair|Pete]]'s Robot Convention on Facebook in 2020, but later taken down at the request of Hasbro. Oddly, the deco sheet for Sideswipe alternatively depicts the figure with a never-seen-before head sculpt and with Sideswipe's regular head.

{{note|The Aligned Sideswipe toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Sideswipe in multiple continuities.}}
: Part of the third wave of 2012 [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|''Generations'']] Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Jazz (WFC)#Generations|Jazz]], featuring a mostly new vehicle shell, as well as having a new robot head and weapon. His massive "battle cannon" is modeled after a [[Path Blaster]] from ''Fall of Cybertron'', features [[5 mm post|5 mm post]]s for the handle and on its side, has a spinning, [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratcheting]] drum, and can extend its barrel. In an undocumented feature, the blaster can mount at an angle onto his vehicle rear, with the back of the blaster sliding into the spoiler. He features 5 mm ports for his hands, on his forearms/rear vehicle sides, and on his vehicle roof.

: In [[robot mode]], he features a case of [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux parts]]: The centers of his feet are fake wheels (attached to the legs via ratchet joints) that are hidden in the rear section of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], while his real vehicle mode wheels end up on the sides of his chest (partially obscured by panels) and on his forearms.

: His [[stock photography]] depicts him with blue eyes, but the final product leaves his eyes the same black/dark gray color as his head. ''Creepy.''

: The TakaraTomy version of the figure features a metallic red paint job on the entirety of the car and several other extensive detailing changes. The most notable of these include the metallic red paint, War for Cybertron style Autobot lighting effects all throughout the figure, maroon paint surrounding his striping, silver striping instead of white in car mode, metallic gray legs instead of white, and blue painted eyes instead of cold dead unpainted clear gray eyes. The TakaraTomy version also features the smaller pistol included with Jazz that was omitted from the Hasbro release.

: The new shell parts involved in the conversion from Jazz have a design flaw. Similar to Jazz, Sideswipe's back consists of two parts connected via hinge joint that are intended to lock into place by pegging into the pelvis. Unlike Jazz however, Sideswipe's back parts do not swivel far enough to be capable of latching onto the pelvis, leaving the instructions impossible and his robot mode unstable.

: Unsurprisingly, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Sideswipe was used for several depictions of Generation 1 Sideswipe. The TakaraTomy deco [[Sideswipe (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appeared]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series. This toy also serves as a rough stand-in for Sideswipe's body in "Season 1" of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series.<ref>[[Sideswipe (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sideswipe]] was redesigned by [[Andrew Griffith]] in [[The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|''Robots in Disguise'' #1]] based on [[:File:WFC Sideswipe.jpg|the game render]] from ''War for Cybertron'' and ''Fall of Cybertron''. Your mileage may vary on how fitting the toy is.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Sideswipe transforms from robot to Cybertronian car and back. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-10 Photo-Pulser Proton Launcher", and the "W-5 Gyro Blaster" (which inspired a similar accessory for ''Siege'' [[Six-Gun#Generations|Sixgun]] and [[Cromar#Generations|Cromar]]). Both weapons can combine to form the "RR Gyrofuse Axleswitch Hyper-Blaster." Due to the fact that there are two 5 mm ports on the W-5 blaster accessory, the W-10 can fit into both sides of the weapon. Sideswipe also features "battle damage" paint applications on his waist, shins, and feet, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:He has a rather aggravating issue in that his instructions are rather unclear and may cause you to try bending the knees farther back than you should, resulting in a broken joint and floppy leg. Also, his hood-chest may have trouble pegging into place.

:A jetpack intended for Sideswipe is sold separately as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]] set.

Sideswipe was included in the "Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce" with [[Slamdance (G1)#Generations|Slamdance]] and the Battle Master [[Trenchfoot]]. As with the above figure, Covert Clone Sideswipe features battle damage, weapons, and hard points for "Fire Blasts".

:A preliminary name for this pack was "Firestormer Battle Pack", which showed up in several online listings, and also on Hasbro shipping cases for the set. The set was an [[Amazon]] exclusive in North America, which also label the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1." In Europe, it was ''supposed'' to be an Amazon exclusive as well, but was never actually stocked, although for some reason it was eventually stocked by ''third party sellers'', in European packaging even.

:Promoting the ''Siege'' season of the [[Netflix]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon]], this redeco of ''Siege'' Sideswipe slathers the Autobot in an ''extensive'' paint wash coating to represent accumulated grime and battle scars. In contrast to the ''Siege'' Sideswipe toy (and an oddity compared to most Sideswipe toys), the normally-red plastic components are actually grey and painted red to achieve the damaged look. This contained a portion of a cardstock background of [[Teletraan I]]. Sideswipe's part has tabs B and J, and slot C.

{{toydesigner|[[Ken Christiansen]] (concept artist), [[AJ Piejko-Brown]] (packaging)}}

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Sideswipe is an extensive retool of his ''Siege'' toy, transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S (though with some details closer to its predecessor, the LP400). His [[plastic|parts]] cast in red (primarily his vehicle mode parts) and roof/windshield are molded to closely resemble the earlier release of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Sunstreaker]], even having molded notches to replicate Sunstreaker’s elbow cutouts. The missile, which is also cast in red, is a new sculpt, lacking the 5 mm post. The parts that are ''not'' cast in red (the wheels, shoulder cannon, and robot mode parts) remain the same. He also has the blaster first included with ''Siege'' Red Alert, cast in black plastic but painted white.

:The jet pack included with the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Deluxe Centurion Drone is still compatible with ''Kingdom'' Sideswipe.

:Revealed on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CPld9tRrYka/ #TransformersTuesday], Sideswipe was released with [[Skywarp (BW)#Generations|Maximal Skywarp]] as a part of the "Battle Across Time Collection". Though similar to the ''Siege'' "Final Strike Figure Series", being exclusive multi-packs with package art that combines into a larger piece, the "Battle Across Time Collection" label is printed on the box. The two-pack is exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the US, and in the UK on Hasbro Pulse and several online retailers.

:Being two Deluxe Class toys, Amazon priced the set at $44.99 USD, but Hasbro Pulse priced the set at $47.99 USD. Amazon later changed the price to match the other "Battle Across Time Collection" set at $52.99 USD, despite the other set being one [[Mirage (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Deluxe]] and one [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Voyager]] and this set only containing two Deluxe Class toys. The Amazon price was eventually reduced to the Hasbro Pulse price. Sheesh!

:''[[Transformers: Legacy#Evolution|Legacy: Evolution]]'' ''Toxitron Collection'' "G2 Universe Sideswipe" is a redeco of the above ''Kingdom'' Sideswipe, based on the conceptual ''Generation 2'' yellow & teal deco (see "[[#Notes|Notes]]" below). Interestingly enough, he uses Red Alert’s head, and his instructions even include the latter's light bar in the images shown transforming it.

:''Toxitron Collection'' Sideswipe includes the same [[for safety reasons|safety]]-modified missile that was also included with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Sideswipe (SG)#Shattered Glass Collection|Sideswipe]]. (Since the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' set's manufacturing date stamps place it before the ''Toxitron Collection'' figure, we consider it the first use of the modified missile.)

: Sideswipe and [[Dead End (G1)#Toxitron|Dead End]] were packed at only one each per case of eight toys, and as such ended up being highly picked-over compared to the other three Deluxes, which were all at two per case.

: The ''Toxitron Collection'' was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the United States.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' ''[[Transformers:_Devastation|Devastation]]'' Sideswipe is a repaint of the ''Kingdom'' toy, still transforming into an unlicensed approximation of a Lamborghini Countach LP500S. There’s no visible mold changes besides some paint touch ups to make the figure more like the game’s design, with new prints on all the alt mode’s glass parts, newly painted front lights, and the feet, the blaster and the missile’s base now being cast in silver.

:Essentially a downsized version of the original Sideswipe toy, the ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' Lambor kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

:This kit was reissued in 1997 by might-or-might-not-be official Transformers licensee [[ToonTown]] in [[South Korea]] (possibly, in a 2-pack with a reissue of ''Transformers Gum'' [[Starscream (G1)/merchandise#Transformers Gum|Starscream]] <ref>[http://fuwakudou.web.fc2.com/prisoners06.html One source] mentions obtaining two boxes of the ToonTown ''Transformers Gum'' releases with each containing two kits - the one numbered #1 featuring Optimus Prime and Soundwave and the one numbered #2 featuring Sideswipe and Starscream - but considering that none of the other (albeit admittedly very few) sources that discuss these kits mention a similar arrangement, it is possible that this was either a packing mistake or simply already-opened boxes being sold on the secondary market with two loose kits stuffed into them (the article does not specify whether or not the boxes they obtained were sealed, although they do look new-ish in the provided pictures). Still, considering how very little information exists regarding these releases in general, it will nonetheless be noted here that these kits ''might'' have been released as 2-packs at some point.</ref>), looking mostly identical save for a set of cheaper-looking paper decals.

: The [[Decoy]] "Swipe" was first available in Japan as part of a big 22-pack of Autobot ''keshigomu'' rubber mini-figures. In this set (and all subsequent releases of this mold in Japan), Swipe has a number carved into his back that is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings; this was for use in the various games (sold separately) that could be played with the figurines.

: This set also included [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Decoy|Blaster]], [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Decoy|Bluestreak]], [[Brawn (G1)#Decoy|Brawn]], [[Grapple (G1)#Decoy|Grapple]], [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hoist]], [[Hound (G1)/toys#Decoy|Hound]], [[Huffer (G1)#Decoy|Huffer]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ironhide]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Decoy|Jazz]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Decoy|Mirage]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Decoy|Optimus Prime]], [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Decoy|Ratchet]], [[Red Alert (G1)#Decoy|Red Alert]], [[Skids (G1)#Decoy|Skids]], [[Smokescreen (G1)#Decoy|Smokescreen]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Decoy|Sunstreaker]], [[Swoop (G1)#Decoy|Swoop]], [[Tracks (G1)#Decoy|Tracks]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Decoy|Wheeljack]], and [[Windcharger (G1)#Decoy|Windcharger]].

*'''Swipe''' (Gashapon keshi, 1986)

: All fifty-three of the Transformers ''keshi'' were also available individually in Japan through "gashapon" capsule machines (presumably in Takara's own "[[Gacha]]"-branded machines), in a variety of different colors including red, blue, yellow, green, orange, sky blue, pink, tan and white. Given the random nature of their purchase and comparative paucity on the secondary market, we can't say with certainty that every one of the fifty-three figures was available in every single one of the different colors... but, hey, this ''is'' Japan we're talking about, so chances are pretty good they were.

This version does have one small but significant difference from the Takara versions: the number sculpted into his back side is a simple checklist number ("18" in this case), not his Tech Spec total.

*'''Sideswipe''' (MDLX, Q2 2024)
**''Accessories:'' shoulder launcher, laser blaster, three pairs of hands (closed, open, gun-holding), one Piston A, one Piston B
:Set to be [[Threezero]]'s sixth new mold for its MDLX line, this Sideswipe is an original design taking inspiration from the original cartoon but with the aesthetics in the vein of the live-action movies. Sideswipe is a smaller scaled non-transforming action figure in the vein of contemporary collector-oriented lines like Figma and S.H. Figuarts. Like those lines, the figure is extremely well-articulated and detailed, and features interchangeable accessories. He comes with the standard assortment of hands (closed fist, relaxed open, and gun-holding) plus one of each piston (one based on "[[A Plague of Insecticons]]", the other on "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]"). Weaponry includes an articulated shoulder launcher and rifle based off the one with his original toy.

:Sideswipe was [https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/03/11/tfcon-la-2023-dealer-room-round-up-reveals-477379 revealed as a grayscale prototype] at TFCon LA 2023.

==Notes==
[[File:G2-boxart-Sideswipe-unreleased.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

*During the 1990s, another company held the "Sideswipe" [[trademark]] in the "toys" field, even though Hasbro still released two toys using that name as part of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]] line (it's unclear if this resulted in any legal repercussions for Hasbro). When Hasbro finally managed to reclaim the name for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'' line]], the name was now rendered as "[[Side Swipe (RID 2001)|Side Swipe]]", in two words, for whatever reason. The next two toys to spell "Sideswipe" as one word again were the [[OTFCC 2003]] [[exclusive]]<ref name="otfccsideswipe">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/sideswipe/485/ OTFCC 2003 Sideswipe], named "Sideswipe" on his own packaging.</ref> and the ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Super-Con]].<ref name="armadasideswipe1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/toys/Armada/Autobots/Side+Swipe/side1.jpg.html ''Armada'' Side Swipe in original packaging], named "Sideswipe".</ref> However, the OTFCC figure was referred to as "Side Swipe" when featured as a [[cross-sell]] on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker (Universe)|Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette (Universe)|Roulette]] two-pack,<ref name="otfccvipersisters">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/exclusives/shadow-striker/483/1/10/ Cross-sell on the OTFCC 2003 Shadow Striker/Roulette two-pack's packaging], identifying Sideswipe as "Side Swipe".</ref> whereas the "[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Unicron Battles]]-style packaging redesign for the ''Armada'' figure saw the name changed to "Side Swipe" on the name insert as well.<ref name="armadasideswipe2">[http://www.shmax.com/product_details/835/sideswipe_with_nightbeat ''Armada'' Side Swipe in "Unicron Battles" packaging], named "Side Swipe".</ref> Hasbro ''finally'' decided to re-file the name "Sideswipe" (as one word) as a trademark in 2008, presumably because a [[Sideswipe (Movie)|character]] in the upcoming movie ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and the accompanying [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|toy line]] was going to sport that name, and Hasbro were using that as an opportunity to re-introduce the spelling of the name as one word. As a result, the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class toy was the first toy to "properly" sport the name "Sideswipe" as one word. Oddly enough, in 2012, Hasbro re-filed "Side Swipe", along with several other old trademarks.<ref name="swipe2012">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys-products-30/latest-hasbro-transformers-trademarks-tow-line-armorhide-rollbar-side-swipe-175521/ Hasbro re-files old trademarks]</ref>
*[[Fun Publications]] considered making a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Sideswipe (as a straight redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe Class [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]]), but ultimately shelved this idea in favor of other products.

The '''Sideswipe clones''' are a pair of Decepticons that look a lot like [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]].

===''Transformers: Shadows Rising''===
After finding a mysterious base under the Pacific Ocean, [[Jake (HA)|Jay]] and [[Vanessa]] were anchored and dragged through the base's corridors by a Sideswipe clone, just before a second one appeared behind and engaged them. After getting themselves free and being picked up by [[Bumblebee (Movie)/games|Bumblebee]], both clones were killed with help from [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/games|Optimus Prime]] and Sideswipe. Notably, the clones were different colors, with the first one having purple led lights, and the second bright blue. {{storylink|Transformers: Shadows Rising}}
