This toy was originally released in Takara's Diaclone: Car Robots line with minimal differences (mainly a lack of Autobot symbols), thus the small slot under he car canopy for a pilot figure the Transformers release didn't come with. It's currently unknown whether the actual Sideswipe toy was ever sold in MB "Sideswipe" packaging at all, although considering the origin of the MB-branded Autobot Cars, it's very unlikely for this to be the case. The packaging even included Sideswipe's instructions and sticker sheet, neither of which were of much use for the toy. For some reason, the Sunstreaker toy (sporting its yellow Hasbro Transformers colors due to being produced during the Diaclone/ Transformers transitional period) was released in packaging intended for his brother Sideswipe, an entirely different sculpt. When Hasbro released the original Generation 1 toys in continental Europe through its then recently acquired subsidiary Milton Bradley in 1985, several toys, such as the Autobot Cars, were actually pre-existing stock originally intended for Joustra's version of the Diaclone line that was acquired by Hasbro as part of an agreement with Joustra and put into MB-branded Transformers packaging. He was also released in Japan this year, with the rubsign and his launcher spring restored. He was re-released in 1985, with a rubsign added to his passenger-side door.
in theory, as the springs were weakened for the US release for safety reasons. His shoulder-mounted missile launcher can fire one of three included white missiles. Released in the first-year assortment of The Transformers Autobot Cars, Sideswipe transforms into a New Countach LP500S. Known designers: Kōjin Ōno (TakaraTomy).Accessories: "Laser gun", rocket launcher, 3 rockets.
