Sideswipe's one of those figures I've been meaning to buy for as long as I can remember, but there's always been something more exotic to buy, especially as I've owned at various times three other versions of the mould (Red Alert, Clamp Down and Deepcover).Nevertheless, I went for him when his high-end bootleg appeared to finally complete my first series Autobot Cars. I sort-of wish I hadn't, as the copy is very badly manufactured - almost as badly as an Encore reissue. Nevertheless, I don't particularly fancy forking out with him again and the thing holds together well enough in robot mode. He'll do, but I don't recommend the Chinese version for other potential buyers. Considering the downward turn the things have taken (Mirage & Wheeljack good, Sunstreaker troubled, Sideswipe poor) I'll probably think twice before getting any others myself - they're cheaper than the real things, but still don't cost peanuts.
