![]() ![]() The Decepticon ship took the brunt of the anti-aircraft fire and crashed before the Ark got within range. Luckily, the Decepticons had their own mission going on the Nemesis. Eventually, Sideswipe feigned the Ark's departure from the planet, only to target and disable the ring weapon as he passed it, then make a sharp turn and head straight back down to the Quintesson city, Hydratron, to rescue his friends. With Optimus and the senior officers imprisoned on the planet below, Sideswipe assumed command and coordinated the repair efforts on the ship as well as discussions of a rescue mission. Concealed weaponry in the planet's artificial rings rendered both the Ark and the Nemesis inert. He orchestrated a semi-successful counter-strike with the Aerialbots, but their dogfighting ended when the Aquatronians revealed themselves to be vassals of the Quintessons. During the excursion, however, the Nemesis caught up with the Ark, prompting some daredevil flying on Sideswipe's part. As pilot, Sideswipe remained on-board the Ark as Optimus Prime led most of his senior staff down to the planet as part of a delegation meeting with Aquatron's Curator. Sideswipe and Perceptor frequently got on each other's nerves, as remnants of Cybertron's old caste system still lingered in the Autobots' ranks. Sideswipe continued to pilot the Ark when the Autobots made contact with the planet Aquatron. Following the battle, Sideswipe again piloted the ship in search of the AllSpark. After Junkion broke apart, Optimus had Sideswipe fly the Ark to the largest piece in order to act as bait for Megatron. ![]() Sideswipe himself was subsequently part of the ship's crew as it passed through the space bridge, and took them to the tomb of Solus Prime. As it became increasingly clear that things on Junkion weren't all that they seemed, Sideswipe and Silverbolt got a wrecked ship working for Optimus, who intended to traverse a nearby space bridge. They next headed to Junkion, where Sideswipe found the native Junkion were difficult to work with during the ongoing repairs, and reported that the ship's fuel reservoir was damaged beyond repair. Following the subsequent sabotage and crash of the Ark, Sideswipe oversaw attempts to repair the ship. After they arrived at Velocitron, he was assigned to Prowl's landing team, and carried out an inspection of the Ark with Ironhide before they went down to the planet, landing just as the Speedia was about to start. Sideswipe was the Ark's pilot when it left Cybertron. He continued to accompany Optimus in sabotaging Trypticon and was appointed the Ark's pilot, ensuring it journeyed through the last space bridge, to a spiral galaxy-where the AllSpark was detected nearby. Though he understood why Optimus was doing it, it still felt to Sideswipe like they were quitting the war. When Optimus returned from Cybertron's core with the Matrix of Leadership, he began Project Generation One, a plan to leave Cybertron as it purged itself of Megatron's poison. Afterwards he aided in extracting Optimus when he rescued Sentinel Prime from Kaon, and guarded over Jazz and Prowl as they recovered from that adventure. He concurred with Jazz that fighting Darkened Decepticons was better than fleeing, and he did so when Megatron invaded Teletraan-1 and took the Plasma Energy Chamber. Optimus did not consider Sideswipe one of his closest comrades but he was often present at their meetings. Sideswipe boasted that he tore off Bruticus' head, a claim Alpha Trion considered hyperbole. Sideswipe made his name at the Autobot victory of Kalis, bringing down Bruticus Maximus with Optimus Prime and Jazz. He eventually joined the Autobots to try and redeem himself. Sideswipe was once a promising racer who was wanted in half of Cybertron's racing circuits, but his reckless nature cost him his career. 2.5 Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark.2.2 Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS).2.1 Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC).1.3 Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe. ![]()
