Now making the rounds across the net is an image of what is reportedly the upcoming Studio Series Sideways figure. The photo in question displays him only in robot mode, and there is a fair chance he may be mistransformed.
We don’t have much info on it at this time, so we advise you to take it as a rumor until we receive more. Until then though, you can sound off with your first impressions on the boards.

For the 10 other people who also preordered Sideways, mine shipped from Kapow Toys yesterday.

@bmb make him mpm sized

Even though I am scaling back my studio series collection I think this figure speaks to me for some reason. Can’t wait to get it

thats another option, but yeah there is "literal" room for improvement with sideways

With how hollow they are are might as well just make new legs tbh.
f-primusunicron
given the way he transforms and that there is some space for the feet when in vehicle mode and under the windshield i wonder if 3d companies will do something to give him some panels to beef up the legs

im sure that DNA will have an upgrade kit with pivots like they did for dino

Wow these guys look great together
Actar
Yup, I forgot to collapse the wrists. (^.^')

noticed you didnt collapse the wrists, anyway i dont think its THAT small, SHORT?, sure, SMALL?, not THAT much
Actar
Not at all! The joints are all surprisingly solid save for the feet. What makes it worse is that the feet don't have ankle tilts.

how is the figure feeling thus far? are the any loose or fragile parts to be cautious about?

…WfC started under Goldner. And Hasbro's CEO has enough on his hands that he doesn't have time to micromanage each line tot hat degree.

The feet are really sucky, but on the whole, I really prefer this guy over the orignal ROTF one. The fact that he doesn't have a backpack makes him leagues better than other SS carbots.

Maybe they're saving them for whenever Hasbro plans to officially reveal these to the States (when preorders are supposed to go live), which according to Sam Smith, should be before the end of the month

We also haven’t seen the core class figures in the wave.

Hasn't shown much interest? It's still ongoing, I don't see it ending any time soon.

desert brawl was onscreen on dotm, , he was seen next to a regularly colored brawl in the trailers but in the finished version ONLY desert brawl, demolishor, again, exists, payload, technically not in robot mode but given most of the constructicons didnt have one, still counts, there was a second yellow dump truck, i dont remember it being the same model as longhaul but it was a yellow dump truck, also hasbro alreayd made skipjack who was also not shown in robot mode, and the one that probably has the least probability of happening, mixmaster, you see, they went for darker color scheme, but the one in the desert was mostly silver with several gold highlights, so yeah, he COULD be repainted if HASBRO wanted, other characters that have appeared as SEPARATE sadly use the same color schemes as the originals, example, rotf buffalo mpv (bonecrusher) dotm audi r8 (sideways), dotm scrapper, there was one longhaul with his original kibble and one (garagebot should have been name garBagebot) who was a cybertronian version of longhaul that scanned a garbage truck, and we still need some new molds or remolds, dreadbot, onslaught, and trench, also as i said before, technically berserker isnt part of studio series, and they dropped the ball with crankcase, although i love how crowbar looks in those colors, i get that it made people mad because they wanted berserker repainted, , yeah as some have said, repaint tlk scorn, i would like it a bit more if they remolded the sails to transform a bit as is the only detail the robot mode needs too look more accurate, and then we have all the missing designs and characters, and all of that, studio series STILL could last for a couple more years, but hasbro hasnt shown much interest in doing so, i still somehow cant believe galvatron and sideways exist
