Sideswipe Action Figure

TOYS: Transformers Collection #7 and #8  JPN 
   Back from the past, the Autobot named Sideswipe rolls once again when Takara re-releases the changeable robot in March 2003. Part of the Transformers Collection, the Sideswipe package includes the figure seen to the left, an large trading card, and a booklet with data and photos.
   Also shipping in March 2003, Optimus Prime receives the Transformers Collection treatment as well. Prime shifts from gawky robot to bulky convoy with number of tucks, swivels, and changes. Similar to Sideswipe, the Convoy toy includes the main figure, a trading card, and a booklet. In addition to all this, an energy axe comes part and parcel. Pricing for either toy is expected to range $25 to $30.
