One of the door hinges on the clear plastic hood of G2 Sideswipe snapped. I only transformed a couple times. I’ve got Tigertrack and Red Alert long ago and they’re fine. Retailer is says it was broken in use so they won't do anything. Any other options?

I *almost* bit on Slamdance with instructions and the box on ebay for $60 shipped, but the reports of the ankle breaking scared me off.

Good set, glad I got it!

I kinda wish I had picked this up, sadly I did not and sadly they dont ship to the USA. probably would be way too expensive to do so anyways though. so saved my wallet I guess LOL

Does anyone know where to get the Matrix Workshop upgrade kit?
Do they ever do re-issues?

Kapow has a great price on the Counterforce twin-pack including G2 black Sideswipe!

Damn, I missed that. Oh well, I have enough Sideswipes…. that's probably the nicest version of the mold though.

My set arrived today! It came back in stock a few months ago and just finally shipped. Was $48.
Mister D
When was it $32? I would have jumped on that!
Bumblemus Prime
The damn thing jumped back up in price from 32$ to 50$ on Amazon.

I just got this set in yesterday from Amazon and i love it. I have both sets from Amazon exclusive Seige sets and actually i couldn't tell you which 1 i like more. I'm just glad though that i got the Skywarp set cause it's crazy in price now. I have 2 more Seige figures to buy then I'm done with the first line. So i guess after that i dunno,……. i guess on too Earthrise.

Okay thanks guys, so it seems like a roll of the dice then. I haven't heard of any more issues…so knock on wood? I'll order him.

I also got an early release one – I assume anyway as I got it through either IDToys or Kapow Toys over here so probably import stock – and I've never had the problem either.
Fenrys
for what its worth, i got one of the early releases from robotkingdom (months before its us release) and didnt have any issues with my slamdance, so its not even all early ones
Afterlife07
Does anyone know if Slamdance's breakage issue is pretty much fixed? I seem to have noticed Slamdance's issues may be related to a specific bad batch from all the comments I've found, and even TFWiki lists it has being the early release. I might want to gift a set to my brother but I'd rather not risk a broken Slamdance, for myself I can work around it.

Sorry dude, couldn't help myself.
Matthew Haskett
Ah. Pardon my ignorance. I looked at both the MP and Siege ones and they seem very similar at a glance.
TargetmasterJoe
Whelp, shame on me for not seeing that coming!
geekatron prime
Have him see a urologist?
Seriously though, I haven't had any issues with Slamdance's ankles like some others have had. YMMV kind of thing I guess.
TargetmasterJoe
Well I kinda already have MP Sideswipe, which Siege Sideswipe appears to be based on, so it might be a smidge redundant? But I might grab this pack one day for the G2 colors.
That said, the whole thing about Slamdance has me worried. Any pro tips on Slamdance's thing?
