This is one Autobot who knows how to handle his blades! Sideswipe rolled into battle early in "Revenge of the Fallen", showing that he had what it took to take on the Decepticons. Now younger fans can play with a transformable version of this figure with Fast Action Battler Sideswipe. Read his review and see pictures here.
Reuters is reporting that Paramount will soon be putting up hundreds of props and costumes from the live action "Transformers" movies. This even includes one of the prop robots (currently disassembled in crates)! You can read the entire article here.

USAToday.com has posted an interview with the editor and writer of the upcoming Transformers ongoing title "Continuum". Of the new series Schmidt says "The book fills in the components for those who know the movies but might not be familiar with the comic books. They'll be able to recognize the iconic characters and follow the basic story of Autobots vs. Decepticons. Reading this, you'll get some interesting back-story.".
