SIDESWIPE AUTOBOT ORIGINAL FULL
Sideswipe, using his piston-like arms, helped Brawn removed the rock wall and found a cave full of dinosaur bones, the discovery of which would lead to the development of the Dinobots. When investigating tremors that were shaking the Autobot base, Ironhide's scanner found some interesting objects inside a rock wall. When antimatter-fueled Decepticons attacked the Ark on one occasion in the episode "Roll for It", Sideswipe and Sunstreaker took to the air to battle with the incoming seeker jets, in a rambunctious, if ultimately ineffective, display of " jet judo." Sideswipe and Sunstreaker often operated together. Throughout Seasons 1 and 2, Sideswipe was voiced by voice actor, Michael Bell. Sideswipe loaned Optimus Prime the use of his rocket pack when the Decepticons nearly escaped from Earth with a starship full of energon. He awakened along with his fellow Transformers in 1984, with both he and his brother being reformatted into Lamborghini sports cars. Sideswipe was part of the initial crew of Autobots aboard the Ark when it crash-landed on Earth four million years ago. He was freed by Prime, and later appeared battlng the Swarm. He appeared again in the Generation 2 comics as part of a raiding party under Grimlock that was outthought and captured by the forces of Jhiaxus. He appeared to avoid deactivation by the Underbase powered Starscream, he was not seen again after issue #50 of the US comic. Sideswipe was seriously injured while trying to contain the situation, but managed at least to put out a distress call, alerting Prowl and Optimus Prime. Unfortunately, the party found the mentally ill Grimlock locked in vicious combat with Sludge, who had been planted there by the Decepticons. He was charged, along with Bluestreak and Huffer, with bringing in the powerful Dinobot, Grimlock. Sideswipe joined the list of the long-term injured during the Dinobot Hunt. In the original Marvel Transformers comics, Sideswipe's role was largely similar to that of the animated series, serving as a loyal warrior under Optimus Prime. Īrtist Pat Lee says his favorite Transformer is Sideswipe. Because of his jetpack, Sideswipe was one of few G1 Autobots with the ability to fly. Sideswipe transformed into a red Lamborghini Countach, while his brother, Sunstreaker, transformed into a yellow Lamborghini Countach. He is almost as skilled as his twin brother Sunstreaker in combat, but is less ruthless. Sideswipe ( Lambor in Japan, Frérot in the French-speaking part of Canada, Freccia in Italy) is described in his tech file as a brave but often rash warrior.
