Toys
Robots in Disguise (2001)
- Prowl 2 & Side Swipe (Basic Class 2-pack, 2001)
- Accessories: Rifle
- Available in the second wave of Robots in Disguise "Basics", Side Swipe transforms into a modified Chevrolet Camaro with exposed engine block. He has through-axle construction to allow for super-fast rolling in car mode. Like his fellow "new"-mold teammates, his rifle stores under his car mode. He was available in a two-pack with Prowl 2.
- The copyright information printed on the joint connecting the chest to the body prevents the former from swinging down all the way.
- This mold was used to make the 2003 Universe version of Silverstreak.
- Side Swipe (Tiny Tins, 2001)
- Accessories: Rifle, storage tin
- Side Swipe was one of several Robots in Disguise toys to be released as an individual in a Tiny Tins release, with a pocket-sized carrying case. The actual toy is unchanged from the two-pack version.
Notes
- Side Swipe was the first official release of a mold originally intended to be released as part of the Generation 2 Go-Bots sub-line. Owing to the name printed on the front bumper, the original identity of the mold appears to have been Rumble.
References
- ↑ Ask Vector Prime did not specifically mention Side Swipe, but there were exactly thirteen Autobot Spychangers identified in the Robots in Disguise line, including Side Swipe.
