Having discovered Sideways's treachery, they planned to prove their worth by defeating him on their own! High-Speed Spy BattleĪrcee and her sisters Chromia and Elita-1 had hunted Sideways in the past, but he always got away. During Sideways's sojourn into the Autobot camp, however, Mudflap and Skids became suspicious of him, and reverted to their old ice cream truck form to keep track of him. Rollbar VS SidewaysĪfter his defeat (read: bisection) by Sideswipe, Sideways "was rebuilt and sent deep undercover to infiltrate the Autobots". Why Sideways decided to change his paintjob for this meeting was anyone's guess. This didn't work very well on Rollbar, who planned to make the lying Sideways an acquaintance of his fists. Super Tuner Throwdownīesides his speed, Sideways enjoyed using deception to get himself out of trouble. Long reliant on his high speed to make his getaways, Sideways found himself in shock when the body-modifying Blowpipe was easily able to keep up with him. While Rampage confronted Breakaway, Sideways battled Longarm through the streets. Sideways and Rampage burst from their cover when they found Breakaway and Longarm hunting them.

That was "the sort of example that so needs nipping in the bud", so he and Grindor attacked! Unfortunately for Sideways, the twins were only pretending to defect so they could capture a Decepticon Mudflap engaged Sideways in a game of chicken, forcing the 'con off the road and straight into a tree. Trailing the twins with Grindor, he discovered to his disgust that the twins had talked to Ransack instead of fighting.

When the twins were sent to bring in Ransack, he protested that they were halfwits, and was relieved to find out they were just bait and he'd get to kill 'em afterwards. Unfortunately for Sideways, the other part of Soundwave's plan was to get Skids and Mudflap into the Decepticons, and there was no escape from the twins talking all the time and dissing him as an "average, creativity-stifled grunt".
