Gender and sexuality in Transformers is a sticky, sticky topic. Bring it up in idle conversation on a TF board at your own risk. Them thar hills are teaming with slashfic shippers, armchair psychologists, hungry trolls, and people that just want to laugh at Classics Sunstreaker’s balls.
What’s this have to do with Masterpiece Lambor Sideswipe?
Like Classics Sunstreaker, Masterpiece Sideswipe is definitely male.
Toys R Us exclusive MP Optimus Prime and MP Lambor Sideswipe look great together! Classics is my main collection, but if the new MP line continues to kick this much ass, Classics will have some competition.
Agent Simmons of Sector 7 – a sane man to some, a fanatic to others, and a purveyor of delicious deli meat to all!
During his time protecting the free world from frozen doom, Agent Simmons became increasingly aware of patterns- a symbol here, a hieroglyph there, a fossilized rubber ducky found in the vicinity of Mount St. Hillary– patterns which could tie directly into maybe possibly indicating that nbes might have visited earth before the arrival of nbe1 or even the cube!
But did anyone believe him?
Not even the Stonecutters!
Not even Sector 7, who keeps Atlantis off the maps, keeps the Martians under wraps, robs cave fish of their sight, and rigs every Oscar Night!
But we do know…
Simmons was right!
Welcome back to the second part of my guide on how to fix Sidearm Sideswipe’s head problems. Today we fix a problem that might not happen on every Sideswipe, but is very frustrating when it does.
.
Sidearm Sideswipe is a great figure, easily measuring up to the original from ROTF and having a completely different transformation whose ease of transformation into alt mode surpasses the original. I even like the red paint and windows, bringing a bit of color to Sideswipe’s otherwise grayscaled color scheme.
But the figure does have a couple problems. The first is something that effects every Sidearm Sideswipe to a varying degree, as it’s an issue with the mold itself. The second is an issue that I haven’t seen a lot of people complain about, but it was a problem on mine so I’m posting the fix for it as well.
Both pertain to the figure’s head, so come take a look at my Sidearm Sideswipe Head Fix Mod!
