Thanks to Maz, of TF-1.com, for posting in our Transformers Forum regarding his latest article over at TF-1 which features the previous unseen yellow and turquoise Generation Two Sideswipe.
Here's a little snippet from the article.
"At the time of the discovery of the G2 Desert-Camo Ramjet mock-up, yet another spectacular unreleased Generation 2 mock-up surfaced. This yellow-to-turquoise G2 Sideswipe never saw release in any country and like the Ramjet, is completely hand-painted over an existing production toy. This specimen came with no accessories but is unbroken, undamaged and completely transformable. As I just mentioned, it is painted over a production toy, and that production toy appears to be a black G2 Sideswipe."

moves in to finish them off.
