With these colours, the DOTM Sideswipe mold's plus points are clearly seen. :) Dark Steel is a very nice repaint and retool of the mold, and glad you finally got him and reviewed him! Congrats! :) And excellent review!! Hey, I really like how you introduced AppleTV. That's one really neat device! :D
Why do people put dislikes on your videos? It makes no sense, you like perfectly review the figures early. Why are people who even dislike your videos watching them. Keep up the good work.
I ordered him a while back, and I can't wait to have him in hand. His head kinda reminds me of a Cobra. What with the hood-like vents and the fang-like 'Dangly bits'.
I DON'T think your a sell out. People must realize that to do Transformer Reviews, you need to BUY the figures yourself. and last time I checked, Buying things takes Money to make happen. So if Apple is throwing a little cash your way, I'm glad you did it. that means more money for figures, and more money for what ever other needs you need to take care of ( like Food, Gas, Family ). Good for you @optibotimus . ( I Know my comment is gonna get so many dislikes, but I still stand by what I say )
dude great review!!! this is the first i've seen, i hope that all the others are like this, specially cause i have never seen a reviewer transform from alt mode to robot mode and back. specially the robot mode to alt mode transformations are always trickier to do. so it is great that you do this. Keep up the good work
I don't understand why people always bring negative stuff on a toy review. Toys r fun its all about fun. I'm 41 years old and I buy these things because I never got them when I was young. Now I can buy what I want, I watch reviews too see what I want to buy that's why I'm just happy to see reviews. All haters do the world a favor and shut your face. Thanks
He looks more like a Cannonball for me, because of his black, gold and some teal paintwise, I hope he a gun-arm and more purple paint on all his body, oh and different head sculpt too!
You know im fairly certain all the episodes can be found on youtube any way, also isnt there some kind of adapter that can connect whatever you are viewing on a computer to a tv?
I'm so mad right now it's been almost two months when I ordered this toy I think Amazon just forgot about the toy when I ordered it I have been waiting for two and a half months I ordered it on February 3rd and it's almost April I am so upset
I sooooooooooooo want this figure. I like that the car looks like the cobra head of BW Quickstrike and that the head sculpt is also very similar (except for having a nose-like thing and a chin).
I think its just me but is it me or does optibotimus at the beginning of the video look like Mark Walberg (sorry if I spelled that wrong) when he was an inventor in his house with his glasses?
Optibotimus how do you do product placement do you need to be sponsored by them or just do it I could use some for my channel im new and need a better camera and mic for i only use an IPad
Although I have no need for AppleTV, I still find it very cool. I have a media pc hooked up to my TV, and search for or download what I wanna watch. I like your choice of shows. You should try finding Avengers: Earths mightest Heroes on there. Also love the paint job on this guys car mode.
Pretty neat, considering another Beast Wars figure got homaged earlier in a ROTF Mold. Terradive -> Depth Charge. Perhaps we'll see more of them homages along the way.
@optibotimus I think you, Peaugh, and Emgo316 are the coolest Transformers figure reviewers on UA-cam right now. ignore those haters, you're awesome dude
love beast wars to death so im defiantly gonna have to pick this one up since quick strike is one of my favs. thanks optibotimus for another homerun review.
Im not sure if any one said it already but i noticed quick strikes face or head almost resembles the same as the cobra head of the quick strike from beast wars but im not sure
I couldn't transform him because he wouldn't tab in to vehicle mode but it is a nice fig and luckily I only got him for 5$ and thanks a lot for the help optibotimus
My only complaint with Apple TV is that it had to be used in conjunction with iTunes. I couldn't use it to watch UA-cam on it or something along those lines. But I hear they've fixed that now. I'll get more use out of it which is great.
I usually don't like the repaints of a figure (with seekers being the exception), but Dark Steel owns this mold. I guess it isn't difficult with Sideswipe looking so generic with that gray color. Seriously, would it have been so difficult to make Sideswipe red.
Well,in my opinion the color fits with his look more then red would.I would like if they actually made it look like Sideswipe but eh...I view the movies as 100% different then G1,comics etc so it kinda worked for me.
Quick review for Apple TV before actually moving on to the TFormers stuff.... Two reviews in one video, on two almost completely unrelated items/devices, seems legit
YOU ARE AWESOME! keep up the good work by the way i watch three people doing review but my top two are you, and some one else but i look forward to you're vids to see which i transformer i would like to buy if its not crap,another thing it will be awesome to see you play Transformers Fall Of Cybertron
@optibotimus Ok.. I'm just reading off the note I got with it. Again, there are zero paint apps. No Mr. Gould or Laserbeak. It was wrapped in plastic wrap and put in a zip lock bag.
I thank god they don't debilatate the toys unlike certain lines and toys have been known to do *COUGH*ARMADA*COUGH COUGH*SUPREME CHEETOR*COUGH*. I liked the ROTF Figures better then these and the origional movie toys even more so then those, cool review, just wish they did this figure with the ROTF Sideswipe and did 2 G1 repaints, one for Sideswipe in red and one yellow for Sunstreaker. Anyway that's just my 2 cents.Take it as you will.
Hey dude, Thanks for sharing! Good Job with this review. I also have to like the pain scheme & head mold on this figure. I do however wish they had put a bottom for the car mode so it didnt look so see through
I skipped this mold when it first came out. I take it as a given that Hasbro is just gonna repaint anyway & I have 3 Sideswipes already + ROTF Swerve. As a fan of new molds bt not reoccuring characters, here's a fine situation of where it's paying to wait. The toy lines aren't as diverse as they use to be, so you gotta pick your shots.
holy shit paul looks exactly like i thought he would
A fight between dark steel and sideswipe would've been great
Hell yah
really great
That would be sik
Deegalvan08 agreed
Deegalvan08 k im working on it
With these colours, the DOTM Sideswipe mold's plus points are clearly seen. :) Dark Steel is a very nice repaint and retool of the mold, and glad you finally got him and reviewed him! Congrats! :) And excellent review!!
Hey, I really like how you introduced AppleTV. That's one really neat device! :D
Darksteel looks like sideswipe's evil clone, right?
Optibotimus have you reviewed the original dark of the moon deluxe sideswipe I'm just wondering
he did
+OsirisArts he did? I never found that video
+Dark Zombi Productions exactly thats what I am saying.
Skip to 2:50 for the actual review.
Shiimochi a dddddddddddddddd:D
That Masterpiece Megatron in the background makes me so jealous!
i know!! But the Price is making my Wallet Scared
I am so getting this figure. No two ways about it. Thanks for the look, Paul!
I usually DVr them to watch when I can't see them live
Why do people put dislikes on your videos? It makes no sense, you like perfectly review the figures early. Why are people who even dislike your videos watching them.
Keep up the good work.
I got this guy off of Amazon and I'm going to show my transformers collection when I get darksteel
Wow you really are a professional now. Your internally advertising. Great job!
His 1-bladed weapon is the same as starscreams weapon, just a re-paint. I love it.
I ordered him a while back, and I can't wait to have him in hand. His head kinda reminds me of a Cobra. What with the hood-like vents and the fang-like 'Dangly bits'.

What I did with sideswipe I use a pencil ✏️ to make him more sliver looking
You should hit it with some silver nail polish, it melds into the plastic
He looks more like a Cannonball for me, because of his black, gold and some teal paintwise, I hope he a gun-arm and more purple paint on all his body, oh and different head sculpt too!
I see an mp megatron behind you lol
nice review as usual dude, nice little advertisment too, very informative
Something about this mold just gives me an Armored Core feel, if you've ever played the series. Very nice.
You know im fairly certain all the episodes can be found on youtube any way, also isnt there some kind of adapter that can connect whatever you are viewing on a computer to a tv?
i usually take the back parts on his feet and rotate them around and use the other part as a heelspur
GEEZUS!!!! Great review, great figure. One thing though: Autobot or Decepticon?
I'm so mad right now it's been almost two months when I ordered this toy I think Amazon just forgot about the toy when I ordered it I have been waiting for two and a half months I ordered it on February 3rd and it's almost April I am so upset
galvatron studios. I got an idea call the police because it happens to be a rob ☺
I sooooooooooooo want this figure. I like that the car looks like the cobra head of BW Quickstrike and that the head sculpt is also very similar (except for having a nose-like thing and a chin).
I think its just me but is it me or does optibotimus at the beginning of the video look like Mark Walberg (sorry if I spelled that wrong) when he was an inventor in his house with his glasses?
This episode of obtibotimus is brought to you by Apple TV
Optibotimus how do you do product placement do you need to be sponsored by them or just do it I could use some for my channel im new and need a better camera and mic for i only use an IPad
i like how the tab hole on the side of the car mode gets covered by somesort of flap thingy
during him talking at the starting if you look at the right of his head theres a colum that says blue movies
Is he a decepticon because I never heard of darksteel
+Miguel Ballesteros, originally, this guy was a Predacon.
Just a repaint. He wasn't in the movie. Hasbro just trying to get more money. But yeah I would assume he's a decepticon
@@ryanpham3308 no he wasn't the name was from a predacon but this guy is a different character
@optibotimus i'm lovin the apple tv, just the concept sounds so awesome!
I like how the transformers figures always put the wheels as the back well not every bot
@optibotimus I'm glad you understand what I was trying to get at. I guess I could have been a little calmer about it.
I like this Darksteel figure!
Also is it raining or is that a fan in the background?
i do like the looks of this guy much better than DOTM Sideswipe. thanks for the review. I also like that you convert back to alt mode. helps a lot.
I like the repaint of Starscream's Mechtech weapons for this guy.
Hallelujah!, finally sideswipe! although its darksteel still they are similar! thanks Optibotimus!
are those original transformers g1 figures in the top left corner on the shelves? D:
@optibotimus I know, it's really great to see you get so successful.
do you think of getting the que/wheeljack and the 3 soundwave figures when they come out
You should audition for a commercial. You're so good at this stuff
Although I have no need for AppleTV, I still find it very cool. I have a media pc hooked up to my TV, and search for or download what I wanna watch. I like your choice of shows. You should try finding Avengers: Earths mightest Heroes on there.
Also love the paint job on this guys car mode.
You can use the barrels of the Mech-Tech weapons as handles.
I have sideswipe but I still need this guy :)
Great review
can you tell me how you didn't get copyright on that clip of you recording from your awesome tv
is this toy Hasbro or takara version because I ordered mine one Amazon and it's been almost two months when I ordered it
You wouldn't have any idea when Wheeljack or soundwave (deluxe or HA) or the Leadfoot two pack is coming out, would you?
Weird mine also came with a 3rd mechtech weapon and is a black and clear green repaint of jolt's gun
@optibotimus are there any transformers that you have but didnt review?
When did you start usuing glasses
Pretty neat, considering another Beast Wars figure got homaged earlier in a ROTF Mold. Terradive -> Depth Charge. Perhaps we'll see more of them homages along the way.
Is he an autobot or a decepticon? No faction symbols on the figure?
@optibotimus I think you, Peaugh, and Emgo316 are the coolest Transformers figure reviewers on UA-cam right now. ignore those haters, you're awesome dude
@optibotimus where did u get dark steel?
When does Soundwave come out?
love beast wars to death so im defiantly gonna have to pick this one up since quick strike is one of my favs. thanks optibotimus for another homerun review.
is dark steel an autobot or Decepticon
+Minecraftfan 214 he is a decepticon .
Deceptico
Evil
Im not sure if any one said it already but i noticed quick strikes face or head almost resembles the same as the cobra head of the quick strike from beast wars but im not sure
I couldn't transform him because he wouldn't tab in to vehicle mode but it is a nice fig and luckily I only got him for 5$ and thanks a lot for the help optibotimus
My only complaint with Apple TV is that it had to be used in conjunction with iTunes. I couldn't use it to watch UA-cam on it or something along those lines. But I hear they've fixed that now. I'll get more use out of it which is great.

*looks at rotf swerve*
Quick review for Apple TV before actually moving on to the TFormers stuff.... Two reviews in one video, on two almost completely unrelated items/devices, seems legit
.DVD player is a big fan
just curious how much do they pay you to do a plug like that?
Where did you pick up sideswipe?
YOU ARE AWESOME! keep up the good work by the way i watch three people doing review but my top two are you, and some one else but i look forward to you're vids to see which i transformer i would like to buy if its not crap,another thing it will be awesome to see you play Transformers Fall Of Cybertron
@optibotimus Ok.. I'm just reading off the note I got with it. Again, there are zero paint apps. No Mr. Gould or Laserbeak. It was wrapped in plastic wrap and put in a zip lock bag.
do you have any transformers to recomend for some body (like me) as just started collecting
Can you record from your tv onto your iPhone with it?
i like his head it looks so cool is he a decepticon because he looks like on
I have mines "wings" brung all the way up and the top parts folded down
Optibotimus just made a 1st review C-C-C-Combo!
great comeback
I took this video into account and picked up darksteel today but I can't open him till Christmas anyway THANKS OPTIBOTIMUS!!!
Is this one out, or did you get him early?
i have darksteel but i just dont get why he has starscream's weapons, and how he is a new paint of sideswipe
Yeah would have been cool if they made a new mold with the same paint job
@Optibotimus its on demand, except youll always be a week behind, its worth it though
i like his head it looks so cool is he a decepticon because he looks like one
Great review, his head reminds me of that birdman from the Muppets.
Wow, they really got trigger happy with that Sideswipe mold.
Is that as far as the knee bends?
when are you reviewing dotm deluxe sideswipe
I've had this figure for a few years and now the joints are a bit loose. Any suggestions?
I'm no expert, but some people use various types of polish to put over the ball joints to tighten them.
Thanks
Ok the arm blades are also loose do you know how to get to them
Carter Kuntz there should be a set of screws that can probably be tightened.
How do you get to it
@Andy Willson No one really does drive Sideswipe or the Chevy Corvette Stingray Concept. And the reason being is well, it's a concept car.
My right/left blade is loose as all thetransformers body parts of mine are.
I thank god they don't debilatate the toys unlike certain lines and toys have been known to do *COUGH*ARMADA*COUGH COUGH*SUPREME CHEETOR*COUGH*. I liked the ROTF Figures better then these and the origional movie toys even more so then those, cool review, just wish they did this figure with the ROTF Sideswipe and did 2 G1 repaints, one for Sideswipe in red and one yellow for Sunstreaker. Anyway that's just my 2 cents.Take it as you will.
Is darksteel a autobot or decepticon
Decepticon
where the hell did you get that figure it's rare here in north carolina
Hey dude, Thanks for sharing! Good Job with this review. I also have to like the pain scheme & head mold on this figure. I do however wish they had put a bottom for the car mode so it didnt look so see through
Is dark steel a decepticon or autobot?
He was originally a predacon, so yeah he is a con
@@celtic6367 the name was used for a predacon so he isn't a predacon
I'm gonna get this version of the dotm deluxe sideswipe and use my Sidearm Sideswipe as my sideswipe.
Dark Steel is...triple...changer, because he can transform into car, mechanical spider and cybetronian jet
did you review sideswipe
I think this guy has custom laserbeak written all over him or at least using the head sculpt on a custom laserbeak.
is he an autobot or decepticon? cause i didn't saw a symbol
Lol, Sideswipe's colour scheme reminds me of Silverbolt from Beast Wars! :D
0:07 YOU ARE?! i never new!
I skipped this mold when it first came out. I take it as a given that Hasbro is just gonna repaint anyway & I have 3 Sideswipes already + ROTF Swerve.
As a fan of new molds bt not reoccuring characters, here's a fine situation of where it's paying to wait.

i like his head it looks so cool
where did you buy darksteel
