While we all wait on tenterhooks for the new Masterpiece series releases of Wheeljack and Bumblebee, Takara-Tomy has been releasing some of their existing Masterpiece Transformers in new decos. One of those releases is Masterpiece Lambor G-2 Version, aka Masterpiece Generation 2 Sideswipe.

This toy is one that embodies the spirit of Generation 2 as a whole, and even feels like it stepped out of 90s comics. The toy itself is the legendary "black with red trim" Sideswipe deco, which looks gorgeous and has a fantastic finish. But with this release, Takara-Tomy went the extra mile - they went back to the Generation 2 comic book and gave Sideswipe new accessories based on the comic. The result is a Masterpiece series release who looks as though he jumped off the printed page.

The set also comes with an optional sticker sheet to customize your Generation 2 Sideswipe, and give him either toy accurate markings or just a Generation 2 Autobot symbol. Personally I felt the finish on the toy was too good to sticker up, but the stickers are a great little extra that make the toy for me.

Overall Lambor G-2 Version / Masterpiece Generation 2 Sideswipe is a fantastic release and a great tribute to the whole Generation 2 era from Takara-Tomy. He's well worth taking a look at if you want to diversify your Masterpiece Transformers collection a bit, or if you just love his so typically 90s action hero look.

Be sure to check out our full, extensive gallery for a good look at this release:
