Toys

Robots in Disguise

• Side Swipe & Prowl 2 (Basic 2-pack, 2001)
  • Accessories: Rifle

Originally an unreleased Generation 2 Go-Bots mold, 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.

This mold was used to make Universe Silverstreak.
