Thanks 2005 Boards user eceiev who shared in our boards some images from Weibo showing part of the packaging of the upcoming War For Cybertron: Siege – Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce Multi-Pack (G2 Sideswipe, Slamdance and Trenchfoot).
This multipack includes a redeco of Siege Sideswipe in glorious G2 colors and named “Covert Clone Sideswipe”. He will be packed with Slamdance (GrandSlam & Raindance) who is a nice redeco with a new head of Siege Skytread, and Battlemaster Trenchfoot (Aimless redeco).
We are yet to see the full packaging, but the images reveal a great box art for Sideswipe and the back shows the three toys included on this pack.
Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

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!

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?
Xaran Alamas
I believe that picture is a digibash, judging by the white border around the tires and how the colours on Slamdance look.
Matthew Haskett
So this is the siege g2 fugue equipped with the spiked tires from the MP g2 figure?
If so, that’s one real roundabout way of getting the look, but it’s hard to argue with the results.

Really wanted a remake of Slamdance, but he looks odd with the red & blue portions reversed. If I did get this set, I'd sell off Sideswipe.
geekatron prime
No problems with my Slamdance.

My Slamdance doesn’t have any issue except for a slightly tight transformation joint at the left foot. It’s thankfully not an issue as long as you’re gently applying pressure.
It’s also for sale if anyone’s interested!

One of my wings is loose in the sense that it moves without much force needed, but it stays in place for the most part. The other one seems to have clicks in certain places.
