This also enabled us to get the two-tone effect out of the base color.

We ended up scanning through a bunch of the ROTF video game footage to settle on a multi-barrel rifle that his arm would transform into as it could be adapted with a sleeve over mount to the hand.ĭeco-wise, similar to ROTF Sideswipe, I wanted to paint the panels of the car silver, and keep the robot parts darker gray. The original character never wielded a weapon in the film, and we didn’t want to sacrifice that fantastic articulated hands to make them compatible with the 5mm port system.

It’s a pretty rewarding transformation, with a pretty minimal backpack. Kunihiro Takashi absolutely killed it with this figure and did an amazing job of adapting the film’s CAD to our proposed vehicle form. I always recall it being silver in the movie, but I guess I had never examined this opening scene closely enough. One thing that I didn’t realize prior to scanning for frames of the character from the film, was that the original movie car was two-toned with a black hood/roof, and silver pinstripes traveling over the center body. Regardless making up cars is always a fun exercise. I tried to keep it in the vein of a similar European mid-engine supercar while making some deliberate deviations from the original design. Similar to Dino, we needed to work from a generic vehicle form. I won’t linger on the vehicle mode for long. Similar to Jolt though, a lot of work went Into this robot mode, so it was great to get the opportunity to revisit the character. What a long-winded reveal, but as of today we can officially talk about Sideways! This was an awesome robot design that we sadly only saw a glimpse of as he transformed through a building before transforming back into a vehicle mode. Today it’s turn of the new Studio Series SS-88 Revenge of the Fallen Sideways.Ī very nice update of the original ROTF Sideways toy with a more movie-accurate robot mode, even if we only saw a glimpse of it during his transformation.Īs usual, tons of information, trivia, images and even turnaround videos of both modes! and you can also read all Sam’s comments and new development material after the jump and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards! Hasbro designer Sam Smith continues treating us with his “From Screen To Toy” Instagram posts about Studio Series toys.
