    Y'know, if you took Sideways and partnered him with a reimagined Punch/Counterpunch, you could build a whole third faction in the Transformers War that's all about keeping the Autobots and Decepticons at war, all to further Unicron's goals.
  • Sideways is pretty much like the Joker, in that his origin story is multiple choice.
  • @roninfire7108
    I like the idea that he’s a dimension hopper and that he’s been going from cartoon to cartoon and maybe to movie
  • Given the whole "multiverse" gimmick of Legacy, I am really shocked that there hasn't been any announcement of a toy of Sideways in the line. It'd be absolutely perfect
  • @fun2building
    "the robots in disguise toyline" "no not that one" "or that one" "yeah that one, that the robots in disguise toyline"
  • @erubin100
    I feel like Sideways has been more or less replaced with Lockdown as the go-to "neutral-faction" antagonist in the franchise. Would still be cool if he reappeared though.
  • @TFfangeek
    Question: "Just what direction is Sideways going towards?" Answer: "Who cares, he's Sideways."
  • That awkward moment when a character has more involvement in the VIDEO GAME ADAPTATION of a film than in the film itself!
  • @Dragonkid69
    The traitor who is clever enough to trick both faction of the cybertronian wars even though his name gives it away.
  • Sideways: "Decepticons? Ha, those amateurs don't know the meaning of the word 'deception'."
  • @orinanime
    To quote the Joker: "if I'm going to have an origin, I'd rather it be multiple choice"
  • Sideways was so wasted in ROTF. One of the coolest characters in the Unicron trilogy was reduced to just being a one off enemy.
  • If the Unicron Trilogy version of this character was in the G1 continuity, I'm curious what interactions he would have with Punch/Counter Punch.
  • @Tfpforever
    Sideways was a cool character in armada he deserves a remake in generations and a studio series figure in my opinion
  • I remember being extremely confused by the opening scene of Revenge Of The Fallen when i first saw it. My six year old mind genuinely did not understand that the silver Autobot car Sideswipe and the silver Decepticon car Sideways that appeared in the same scene were two different characters. Don't ask why.
  • He REALLY needs an evergreen-IDWy design in the Generations toyline. Great character.
  • He should be in more stories as personally I find a lot of potential in him being a universe hoping Herald of Unicron and possible equal to the Fallen.
  • @WelshGiraffa
    Loved Sideways in the unicorn trilogy he is criminally underused in the animated series and most media
  • @generations113
    Definitely Armada Sideways was his best role. I always found him an interesting character to watch. Wondering what he would do next.
  • @CaptainDemo779
    ....it never registered in my head that Sideways’ gimmick was basically just trolling people...
