Man, both these nerds are aggressively uncool.
Just look. Sideswipes tiny torso and gigantic limbs. The way his shoulders are specifically molded to be as useless as possible. This neutral pose is as far out as they go and his skeletal hips are in the way so he can't rest his arms closer to his body either.
No waist, no knees, borderline vestigial elbows.
The cherry on top is his face. The shades and muted expression come across as so unbelievably try-hard to me.
Even if he didn't as bad as he does, Sideswipe still has a problem being made of large pieces of clear plastic. The clip on his gun is cracked apart so the knife can't dream of connecting to it. And the peg holes on his flanks are cracked so they barely stay in place in vehicle mode too.
How Nightbeat got it just as bad baffles me. Like, there are some bad minicons out there.
Highwire is bad, but at least he has the excuse of being a pedal bike and needing to combine.
Someone was posses by a Gobot's ghost when they made this toy.
The final final straw is Sideswipe has possibly the lamest minicon power in the line. Plug Nightbeat on his back to unlock Arm Raising Action™
Not even a spring load punch. Which would make sense considering hat those huge chunks of car on his arms already do.
This whole thing is just a carnival of failure.
