Description Nothing that hasn't been done before here. Like many other customizers I removed the feet and permanently attached them to the car front (where they go in alt mode) which is on his back.
Repainted him silver with some details and put a mild black ink wash on him to bring out the little details like in his face.
Had to dremel away some plastic on the feet to keep the wheels round too. Thanks to the little back feet he still stands up fine.
Some folks have been giving Sideswipe new swords that always seem to be HUGE. I like the ones he has and their automated effect when you move them back to "not killing cons" mode. I always try to avoid having to take a custom apart or add parts to make a mode. As much as possible I want them to remain Transformers.

Oooh, shiny. Heck of a lot better than what I did with MY Sideswipe. I just took a couple sharpies to him.

Hmmm, looks great. And I agree with that last statement of yours, Transformers should bet Transformers.

I've always wanted to repaint my Transformers, and this inspires me tbh. Good work.

(P.S. What would've happened if you painted the vehicle parts in some kind of shiny clear coat? OH HO HO!)

Thanks! I didn't see a reason to paint the vehicle mode because its already pretty good looking silver. I could make it chrome but he wasn't chrome in the film.

Ohhhh, I see. Movie accurate paint-jobs are FTW. Hm, either way, as I said, it looks great. So, they call the good, shiny stuff "chrome" pain?

*takes notes*

Oh i just noticed you asked what If i coated him in a shiny clear coat. i thought you asked what if i painted him shiny silver. I guess a shiny clear coat wouldn't hurt but it looks fine without it.
Oh and I didn't say pain so you lost me on the "chrome pain" thing.

You didn't paint the car? I didn't paint the car so I didn't bother with pics. I kind wanted to see how the mod you did looks in car mode.

Exactly the same except maybe the front side parts of the car, with the headlights, is a little more together. Less gaps.
