Sideswipe is an evil Autobot turned heroic Decepticons from Transformers Shattered Glass.
Personality[]
He once an evil Autobot, and one of the most sinister of Optimus Prime's elite Seeker trio. This began to change when Prime killed the Seekers' leader, Drench. Though Sideswipe and Drench had their differences, he thought the assassination was a step too far, though Sideswipe kept quiet about his feelings. Things came to a head, however, when Prime suspected Sideswipe of increasingly conflicted loyalties, and conspired to have him ambushed and killed. As a result, Sideswipe joined the heroic Decepticons. He now fights against Prime and all his evil Autobots, though for different reasons than his new comrades.
History[]
Sideswipe was a member of the Autobots as one of Optimus Prime's elite soldiers until he was ambushed and left for dead by his comrades. He then joined the Decepticons. When Cliffjumper traveled into his universe, Sideswipe immediately knew he was from an alternate dimension, as he had seen the other Cliffjumper die in front of his eyes. He then proceeded to explain to Cliffjumper the origins of their Decepticon-Autobot war. He then followed Megatron during the attack on the Ark.
Later, Sideswipe was part of the group of Decepticons who battled the Autobots for control of the Arch-Ayr fuel dump when Soundwave arrived with the Mayhem Suppression Squad, which managed to fight off the Autobots. Suddenly, Wheeljack's army of Dinobots arrived, and the mad scientist threatened to destroy the Autobots as revenge for exiling him. Optimus Prime managed to convince Wheeljack to use his army to destroy the Decepticons instead, and the mad scientist agreed...only for his army to turn on each other and scatter. Later, Sideswipe was one of the top Decepticons ordered by Megatron to bring back the Dinobots for reprogramming, and he and Cliffjumper managed to locate Slugfest, only for the hulking Goryu to come to Slugfest's aid. The two managed to defeat the Dinobots and noticed an Autobot on the horizon, who admitted that he was running from Grimlock, but not before Sideswipe "convinced" him to admit it by telling him that Cliffjumper believed in Primus. The two later managed to track Grimlock to an old bunker which Sideswipe hesitated to enter, as it was where Optimus Prime had Sideswipe attacked for insubordination. Cliffjumper dismissed his concerns, and the two entered the bunker. While they examined some hieroglyphics, a booming voice ordered them to get out. However, the way out was obscured, as the tunnels around them had changed. While continuing on their journey, Cliffjumper fell into a trap and injured his leg. Later, the two met up with Rodimus and Blurr. Cliffjumper and Rodimus tumbled into a hidden passage, activating yet another trap, while Blurr and Sideswipe fought off a group of Mutants. Rodimus deactivated the crushing trap, realized that this was the hiding place of the Omega Terminus, and decided to use it to create his own army. The mutants broke off their pursuit when Blurr and Sideswipe reached the Omega Terminus chamber.
The four met up again on a narrow bridge overlooking a deep chasm, on the opposite side of which they found Grimlock, who explained that he was guided to the chamber by a strange voice. A light suddenly shot out of the Omega Terminus, giving Grimlock an ember, an actual personality, and a robot mode. Upon assuming said mode, he told the four that the Omega Terminus did not want them there. Cliffjumper attempted to challenge Grimlock, but additional lights shot out of the Omega Terminus, reanimating four corpses, among them Drench's and the native Cliffjumper's. Grimlock explained that the mutants bring the corpses to the chamber so that the Omega Terminus can recycle them as new life. The zombies were dispatched with Scraplets, and the formless voice ordered the four to leave the chamber, which they were all too pleased to do.
Sideswipe was later present when Megatron announced the impending launch of the Nemesis, and later boarded the Decepticon flagship. He, Blitzwing, and Bombshell attacked a Roll-N-Wash car wash which the Autobots were using to create an army of drone cars. Sideswipe kept the drones busy while the others attacked Brawn and Elita-One, but when Blitzwing began broadcasting his interference on the Autobot frequency, the drones went wild and Bombshell had to come to Sideswipe's aid. One of the pair blew a hole in the side of the car wash, coincidentally preventing Elita-One from killing Blitzwing. Bad news for them soon came, as they realized that Blitzwing's musical transmissions had begun spreading to Decepticon frequencies, and Blitzwing was unable to shut them off. It eventually forced Sideswipe and the Decepticons to go into emergency stasis until it was all sorted out.
After Shockwave was injured by a missile, Sideswipe put forward the theory that Shockwave could have died were it not for the fact he carried a large amount of kibble on his back.
