His bow can be tabbed to the roof of his car mode or snapped on his hand. The figure comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching double crossbow. A panel on the car's hood, which is also the figure's chest, can be flipped to either show an engine block or the figure's Autobot insignia. Sideswipe's colors are an homage to the Generation 2 version of Generation 1 Sideswipe: the design on his doors is even 'SS' in Cybertronix, with the second 'S' flipped around to make it more visually appealing. Sideswipe is a redeco of Animated Breakdown (itself a retool of Deluxe Class Animated Rodimus Minor), transforming into a futuristic sports car.

Accessories: crossbow/missile launcher, 2 missiles.

Sideswipe and Toxitron (Souvenir set, 2011).

but turned out to be more Decepticons heading planet-side! The Stunti-Con JobĬonsidering their ages, Rodimus is biting Sideswipe's style, not vice versa! The Return of BlurrĪ while later, Sideswipe was laying back and enjoying his retirement, when he noticed what seemed at first to be a meteor shower. The Stunti-Con JobĪt some point, Sideswipe and Cheetor were walking through the streets of Iacon when Sari, Arcee, and Blurr sped past them at super-sonic speeds. Sideswipe was able to turn the tables on the Motor Master using Optimus's axe and saved the day, announcing to his baffled partner that no one would be getting in between him and his retirement. The Motor Master managed to take Sideswipe hostage in the confusion, and threatened to off both the copper-bot and the audience if his demands were not met.

Optimus thankfully came to their rescue, having divined on his own the Stunti-cons' plans. Sideswipe and Cheetor charged in as the show was already underway, but found themselves being overpowered when everyone believe it all to be part of the show. While filling out the paperwork over the incident, Sideswipe figured out that the Stunti-Cons were planning on breaking Megatron out of the nearby Trypticon Prison, killing their captive audience in the process. Unable to make criminal charges stick, Sideswipe was forced to release Toxitron from custody. Sideswipe then attempted to interrogate Toxitron, but Toxitron's backwards-talk only left Sideswipe confused about the whole matter. The two cops were dispatched to look into it.Ĭheetor caught Toxitron attempting to sneak away from the scene, and apprehended the perp, though Sideswipe reprimanded him for his rash and dangerous methods. His investigation was interrupted when he and Cheetor learned that there had been a break-in at Ironfist's workshop. Sideswipe's suspicions had nonetheless been piqued by the encounter, and he decided to run a background check on the 'Autobot actors' in the convoy, only to find that there were no records on the group whatsoever. Sentinel Magnus was less than pleased about the two cops searching the premises without a warrant, and had the pair expelled. Sideswipe and Cheetor then took advantage of the situation to check backstage for any illegal modifications the group was rumored to be hiding, but only found harmless stage effects and props. The pair sat in on the Stunti-Cons' rehearsal, returning the axe to Toxitron when the moment called for it. Sideswipe and his partner Cheetor were investigating how the low-life Rattletrap had obtained a replica of Optimus Prime's energy-axe, and after aggressively confronting the peddler, learned that he had 'borrowed' it from The Motor Master's stunt convoy.

He simply looked forward to closing his last case before he could retire to a nice, quiet life on an energon farm. To him, it was all another day at the office. Despite the planet-wide jubilations over the capture of Megatron, Sideswipe was unmoved both by the Decepticons' defeat and the return of the AllSpark to Cybertron.
