Sideswipe can be built in either robot or G1 inspired car mode.

Like many other Kre-O sets, his stock photography shows a different robot mode construction than the final product. The most noticeable example are his lower legs which have a much less awkward construction in the stock photos rather than the final product which is rather odd. Whether this is the photographer taking creative liberty or if the set design changed is yet to be seen.
