The '''United States Army''' is the branch of the [[United States of America|United States]] Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest oldest established and best branch of the [[United States military|United States Military]].

The 75th Ranger Regiment, also known as the United States Army Rangers, is an elite light infantry special operations force of the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). Losing's really not an option for these guys.

A unit of Federal troops was guarding a train that was rammed and destroyed by the [[Insectrain]]. When the Insectrain split apart and transformed into the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]]s, the troops were powerless to stop them from steeling the cargo of currency and bullion. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 2}}

Later, a cavalry unit discovered the Decepticons' abandoned construction site. They telegraphed [[Sacramento]] to let them know the Decepticons were on the move. Since the Decepticons were traveling by rail, it was not hard to guess which way they were headed. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 3}} Another Army unit set up a roadblock in hopes of stopping them, but the [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] plowed right through them without even slowing down. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 4}}

Clearly, the US Army was not going to be much help in stopping Decepticons, so it was left to the Autobots and their civilian human allies to put an end to their menace.

On the way back to [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]] aboard two [[United States Air Force#CV-22 Osprey|CV-22 Ospreys]], the men in [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] unit discussed their desires to be back home enjoying a "perfect day" of civilian life. [[Jorge Figueroa|CWO Figueroa]] wished to be home for his mother's cooking of barbecued alligators (something that disgusted [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] Tech Sergeant [[Robert Epps]]) and top kick [[Patrick Donnelly|Donnelly]] wanted a flat beer and hotdog at Fenway stadium. When asked, all Captain Lennox wanted to do was hold his baby girl for the first time, earning him ribbing from the other soldiers.

Shortly after the men cleaned up and stowed their gear away, Lennox made a video call to his [[Sarah Lennox|wife]] and daughter back home in the 'States. During this call, a [[Blackout (Movie)|MH-53 Pave Low]] entered SOCCENT's restricted airspace, refusing to identify itself. Escorting [[United States Air Force#F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptors]] launched from SOCCENT reported that its tail number was 4500X, which was also the tail number of a Pave Low that was confirmed to have been shot down in Afghanistan several months earlier. The helicopter landed and began jamming SOCCENT's radar and communication systems, blinding them. Unexpectedly, the helicopter changed form, turning into a humanoid robot that laid waste to the soldiers surrounding it.

[[Image:Movie2007_soldiers_travelling.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

Epps ran through the barracks sounding the alarm that their antennae farm had been destroyed. Lennox's team, along with every other soldier with their wits about them, retreated from the unstoppable robot who was effortlessly destroying the base. After it was foiled in its attempt to hack the command center's server, Epps was almost crushed by the machine, but managed to capture images of it. The machine tried to stop him from escaping, but was fired upon by Figueroa. As Lennox's Ranger team and local boy [[Mahfouz]] made their escape, the machine unleashed a [[Scorponok (Movie)|mechanical scorpion]] after them before obliterating the rest of the base.

The Rangers made their way across the harsh Qatar desert, unaware they were being stalked. Determined to bring back images of the machine to the [[Pentagon]], they travelled to Mahfouz's distant village where a phone would be found. Just as the exhausted group reached the outskirts of the settlement, the scorpion attacked, killing Donnelly and sending the rest running for their lives. Fortunately, the townspeople joined in the defense against the mechanical creature, allowing Lennox to borrow a cell phone from Mahfouz's father, [[Akram]]. After some frustrations with an unhelpful phone company operator and some confusion over which of Epps' many back pockets contained his wallet, the Rangers were able to get in touch with the Pentagon. Under Epps' coordination with an [[United States Air Force#E-3 Sentry AWACS|E-3 Sentry AWACS]], the [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] sent Strike Package Bravo, two [[United States Air Force#A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Thunderbolt IIs]] which shot the hell out of the scorpion, but failed to do any significant damage. Epps was forced to turn to the biggest guns they had, a [[United States Air Force#AC-130 Spectre|AC-130 Spectre]] with its 105mm sabot shells, which finally damaged the creature, breaking its tail and sending it scurrying away. However, the battle had come at a cost—Figueroa was seriously injured. A medical helicopter arrived hours later to ship bring the Rangers to a base.

[[Image:Movie Scorponok leapsout.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

On the way back aboard a [[United States Air Force#C-17 Globemaster III|C-17 Globemaster III]], the Rangers were able to learn that the tail of the scorpion was made out of a self-regenerating molecular armour that was penetrated by the sabot rounds. With a way to damage their new enemies, Epps called command to advise the use of high-heat sabot rounds on all of their gunships. Almost immediately after touching down in the United States, they were approached by agents of the clandestine [[Sector Seven]] who ordered the soldiers to follow. The Rangers were brought to [[Area 52 (Movie)|the base]] at [[Hoover Dam]] with a group of curious companions: Secretary of Defense [[John Keller]] and Sector Seven agent [[Tom Banachek]]; [[Maggie Madsen]] and [[Glen Whitmann]], two computer programmers; and [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], two teenagers who had apparently encountered the living machines. Agent [[Seymour Simmons]], a person that everybody in the group took an immediate disliking to, met the group and explained how they had all encountered or were now aware of the N.B.Es ([[Non-Biological Extraterrestrial]]s), in other words, the shape-shifting alien machines that had attacked SOCCENT Qatar and the ones encountered by the teens. They were brought to see the frozen N.B.E.-01, the very first of the alien robots found on Earth and propegenitor of all of Earth's advanced technologies. Sam pipped in with the information that N.B.E.-01 was [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the leader of the evil [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] faction of the aliens who was after a cube-like object. Tom Banachek led the group into an observation room in a massive chamber containing the Cube, the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]], and explained the real reason for the construction of the Hoover Dam was to conceal the alien artifact's strange radiation energy from anybody on the outside. Unfortunately, [[Frenzy (Movie)|one alien]] managed to get inside and call upon his [[Starscream (Movie)|commander]].

[[Image:Movie2007_soldiers_S7_standoff.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

When asked about the Cube radiation, the group was again led into another secure chamber, where they were shown how the Cube could turn ordinary devices such as a [[Nokia-bot|Nokia cell phone]] into transforming robots. During the demonstration, Hoover Dam was attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|a transforming F-22 Raptor]] who disabled the main generators. Leaping into action, Lennox asked to be led to the arms room where they could prepare a defense against the alien aggressors. While this was going on, Sam Witwicky asked Simmons to be allowed to see [[Bumblebee (Movie)|his alien robot car]] who had been captured by Sector Seven, but Simmons flatly refused, stating they had no idea of what would happen if they let the thing near the Cube. His patience at an end, Lennox snapped and drew his sidearm at Simmons, demanding the boy be allowed to see his car. This caused a stand off between the Rangers who refused to acknowledge Simmons' orders and the various black-clad Sector Seven soldiers. Fortunately, John Keller ordered Simmons to let the Rangers have their way, as losing was not really an option for them. The Rangers followed Sam and Mikaela to a lab where the yellow car, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was being tortured. After being freed, there was a tense moment where the alien reacted with hostility towards the humans due to his mistreatment, but Sam managed to calm him down and take him to the All Spark Cube. To the amazement of the assembled humans (especially Simmons), Bumblebee activated the massive Cube and shrunk it down to a small, portable size. Aware that to fight here with Megatron in the other hanger was a losing option, Lennox suggested Keller and Simmons try to contact the Air Force, as the soldiers could not make a stand without air cover. Meanwhile, the Rangers, with the Sector Seven troopers under their command, Sam, Mikaela and Bumblebee would head towards [[Mission City]] in the hopes that the hustle and bustle would mask the Cube from the Decepticons.

On the way, the convoy was joined by the [[Autobot|Autobots]], who formed up along side to protect the Cube.

{{Note|Due to what is most likely a particularly bad continuity error (among many continuity errors in this film), the soldiers and their buggies do not appear at all during the freeway sequence where [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] attacks the Autobots.}}

[[Image:Movie2007_Ratchet&soldiers_vs_Brawl.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

Arriving in Mission City, Lennox was able to charm a pawn shop owner into giving him two working (if ancient) CB radios. Though Epps complained about their "Radio Shack Dinosaur Radio" age, he was seemingly able to contact an F-22 circling above the city, prompting Lennox to order the convoy to stop and pop green signal smoke. Unfortunately, the F-22 was apparently the Decepticon [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who was recognised by the Autobot [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. The old Autobot soldier's warning gave the humans enough time to scatter before Starscream unleashed his payload, crippling Bumblebee. In the confusion, Lennox berated Epps for apparently relaying an incorrect order that forced the F-22 to shoot at them, though Epps revealed that the illegal maneuvers the Raptor displayed was clearly made by an alien. Suddenly, [[Brawl (Movie)|modified Abrams tank]] appeared and fired upon them. The soldiers and the Autobots joined forces in disabling the brute before Megatron appeared on the scene, thirsting for vengeance. The Autobot [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] ordered the humans to flee while they could. As he was retreating, Lennox noticed Jazz was bravely making a stand against Megatron to cover the humans. As the captain cried out for Jazz to fall back, the Autobot was blasted by Megatron, carried off into the air and torn in half. Realising that they could not hold the line against the Decepticons indefinitely, Lennox called for Blackhawk helicopters and ordered Sam Witwicky to make a run for it with the Cube while the soldiers held the enemy off. As Sam ran off, escorted by the remaining Autobots, and Mikaela drove off a tow truck with the injured Bumblebee strapped to it, the soldiers faced off against the tank thing, who had apparently received its second wind.

They struggled to fight it off, with Lennox observing that they weren't doing very well. Salvation came in the form of Mikaela driving the tow truck with Bumblebee on the back. The plucky Autobot's weapons made the difference, allowing them all to destroy the Decepticon. With the tank dead, Lennox and his men headed towards where the Autobot leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron were fighting to lend the friendly alien assistance. Unfortunately, that Pave Low helicopter that attacked SOCCENT Qatar landed in the street ahead of them. Noticing that the evil alien was distracted, Lennox ordered Epps to call in F-22 Raptors to attack the robot helicopter while the soldiers attacked from the ground. Lennox got on an abandoned motorcycle and rode it towards the Decepticon, ditching it at the last moment moment to slide along the ground. As the F-22 missiles struck the alien, Lennox fired his grenade launcher into its [[gearbox]], exacting his revenge for the deaths in Qatar.

[[Image:Movie Prime Jazz Ironhide Ratchet battleaftermath.jpg|thumb|left|300px|]]

With another Decepticon taken care of, the soldiers move to help Optimus Prime, who was struggling to fight the powerful Megatron. Together, the Air Force F-22s and the soldiers hammered the Decepticon leader, damaging him enough for Sam Witwicky. Lennox fired the round that pierced Megatron's chest armour, allowing Sam to shove the All Spark cube into the Decepticon's chest, killing him. As the dust settled, Lennox held his men back as Optimus Prime sombrely lamented his brother's death and thanked Sam for saving his own life. When the others arrived, Optimus briefly mourned the death of brave Jazz and thanked the assembled humans for their courage and bravery.

Sometime later, Captain Lennox got a ride home from Ironhide, and he finally met his daughter for the first time. It was the perfect day. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

[[Image:Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe.jpg|thumb|300px|Also known as ''"Stabby McWheelfeet"''.]]

'''Sideswipe''' is true to his function of Warrior. Though proficient with guns, he prefers melee combat to ranged weapons, and will employ any maneuver it takes to get close enough to the enemy to use his arm-mounted [[Cybertanium]] swords. His agile, wheel-legged form more than allows for this. His tactics are merciless and he's utterly unapologetic about this—war, after all, is ''messy''.

Oh, and he's also not vain at ''all'': those alt modes of his are chosen for speed only. It's a ''total coincidence'' that the fastest one just ''happens'' to be a sleek, sexy, concept model that's better than ''your'' car, honest! <ref>[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|Transformers: The Movie Universe]]</ref>

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
{{ongoing}}
When Sideswipe joined the Autobots he trained under the veteran warrior [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], learning the arts of war. After his training was complete, he went on to become the protector of a settlement of displaced Autobots. This settlement was found by the pitiless [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]], who slaughtered them nearly to a bot. Sideswipe was ashamed, not only over having failed to protect his charges, but also because he had lived to tell the tale.{{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}

[[Image:Talesofthe Fallen2- Sideswipetraffic.jpg|left|thumb|250px|]]

After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s Autobots left [[Mission City]], they left a homing beacon in a junk yard near the metropolis to attract any Autobots who might have heard Prime's rallying call to [[Earth]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 3}} Sideswipe was among those few that answered the beacon and had hidden themselves in the junk yard. Once discovered, they were brought to [[Diego Garcia]] to train with the other Autobots and [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]'s soldiers in defense of their new home. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}} However, Sideswipe proved a loose cannon as he continued his vendetta against Demolishor when the Decepticon turned up in [[Montevideo]], [[Uruguay]]. Showing little regard for humans in pursuing his quarry, Sideswipe's actions prompted Ironhide to arrive on the scene to rein him in. The younger Autobot was openly insubordinate towards Ironhide, warning him not to get in the way. Ultimately all the old veteran could do was to serve as damage control during Sideswipe's singleminded pursuit. Ultimately more reinforcements from [[NEST]] arrived, and Demolishor fled the scene. In the aftermath, Sideswipe saw the fear and mistrust the humans regarded him with because of his violent actions. Understanding this, he was forced to admit that Ironhide's admonishment of him was correct. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}

Sideswipe didn't have long to wait for another shot at his nemesis. Soon enough, Demolishor had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

===Titan Magazines ROTF comic===

{{bigquote|''Skids? Mudflap? Hhh.'' What have I ever done to deserve ''this''?|Sideswipe on his training position, [[Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune]]}}

[[Image:Titan4_Sideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"Look, you guys are the Jar Jar Binks of this franchise. There's ''always'' room for improvement."]]

Unlike most Autobots, Sideswipe—part of a younger generation built during wartime—was made to fight. He was born during the war and with full knowledge of the Cybertronian battlefield, designed solely for killing. He's master of the quick-change transformation! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Sideswipe's profile}}

Sideswipe served as a combat instructor at NEST's Scottish base, and had to put [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] back through basic training—something he was fed up of. As far as he was concerned, they should've been put on charge for causing [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] to escape and he should have better things to do. He dealt with this by putting the twins through simulated combat after simulated combat, finally cracking it up to maximum setting, before [[Ravage (ROTF)|someone knocked him out]].

When he came to, the twins were babbling about how a mysterious and long-vanished Decepticon working for [[Soundwave (ROTF)|another mysterious Decepticon]] had done it and tried to kill them! Sideswipe was having none of it, viewing this as implausible and believing the twins knocked him out in revenge for training and were covering themselves. Between this and Grindor, he was becoming suspicious of them... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}}

Following the training, poor Sideswipe took them to [[Diego Garcia]] and continued to be pestered by them for a meeting with Prime. Not trusting them and ignoring their babble about some "[[the Fallen|dude]]", he tried to discourage them, only for the two to sneak off behind his back. Sighing, he went in pursuit... and saw them distract Prime before a [[Scorponok (Movie)|Decepticon attacked]],
Skids tripped over Prime before he could take charge, and Mudflap handed a weapon to [[Sideways (ROTF)|an escaping prisoner]]! When Optimus remarked that someone must've compromised security, Sideswipe fingered the twins: their actions clearly showed they were turncoats! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Sideswipe would be part of the team tracking down the twins {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Outlaw Blues}}, and would later be surprised when they were tracked down to [[North Carolina]]... and were ''fighting'' two Decepticons? Why, if he didn't know better, he'd think they were fighting the two 'cons they'd helped! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

After the Autobots tracked the twins to the Decepticon's base, it became clear they ''weren't'' traitors after all and ''had'' been framed. Did Sideswipe apologise? Hell no, he instead had a scary amount of fun slaughtering [[Purple generic drones|drones]] and had to be told off by Ironhide for excessive bloodlust. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[Image:Titan11_cleaningupHoist.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]

Later, after [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|the twins turned out to have told the truth about this "Fallen" guy]], Sideswipe was with Ironhide cleaning up the remaining Decepticons on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.11|Spare Parts!}}

[[Image:Sideswipe-ROTFdamnImgood.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Damn, he's good... at killing [[Sideways (ROTF)|fleeing cowards]].]]

Sideswipe was one of the Autobots sent to [[Shanghai]] when Decepticon energy signatures were detected, but he was initially held in reserve. As [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] managed to flee from [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Skids (ROTF)|the]] [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Twins]] in vehicle mode, [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]] ordered Sideswipe deployed. Sideswipe immediately sped in and quickly changed to robot mode. Catching up with Sideways by dexterously skating on his wheel-feet, Sideswipe somersaulted over the Decepticon, threw his right blade in the Decepticon's hood, and then dragged the blade in the opposite direction, tearing Sideways apart. Sideswipe took a moment to reflect on the success of his kill.

Afterwards, he returned with the other Autobots to [[NEST]]'s base in Diego Garcia, where he witnessed Director [[Theodore Galloway]] air the [[Barack Obama|President's]] concerns over the recent spate of Decepticon activity, and how the Autobots remaining on Earth might be the cause of it.

After the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark shard]] was stolen by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] from NEST's secured bunker and Decepticons were detected heading towards [[Sam Witwicky]] at [[Princeton University]], Sideswipe and the other Autobots were deployed to intercept, but arrived too late: [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] had died protecting the human boy from the resurrected [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]].

[[Image:ROTF Sideswipe in Egypt.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The "Where's Sideswipe?" series of books never really caught on.]]
The Autobots and NEST arrived at a [[United States of America|United States]] air base to discover that they were no longer welcome, following renewed Decepticon aggression after Prime's death, and that they were ordered to return to Diego Garcia. The emotionally overwhelmed Autobots nearly came to blows with their former allies but finally agreed to stand down and remain on Earth. When Major Lennox learned Witwicky had come up with a way to possibly resurrect Optimus Prime, NEST travelled to [[Egypt]] instead. Sideswipe, who had been covered in a cargo net while being transported in vehicle mode, relished the chance to cut through his bonds when deployed from the air. He fought off many Decepticons during [[Operation: Firestorm]], and bore witness to Sam resurrecting Optimus Prime with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and the death of [[The Fallen]]. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Before the war, Sideswipe was a major competitor in the [[gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial games]]. Years of training made him a master at fencing, something he viewed as an art to be celebrated through battle. When war broke out, he was sickened by the Decepticon's slaughter and vowed to use his fencing skills to defend the innocent. {{storylink|#Robot Replicas|Robot Replica Sideswipe}} Before he enlisted with the Autobots, Sideswipe traveled the galaxy in search of the most proficient warriors and devastating martial arts he could find, leading to him becoming an Autobot combat instructor.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Sideswipe Battle Bio]</ref>

He's also a raw, untrained guy! Used to battling alone, he was given over to [[Robert Epps]] to be trained as a team player. The two have become good friends, and Sideswipe is now more dangerous than ever. {{storylink|#Human Alliance|Sideswipe / Tech. Sergeant Epps}}

When the [[Hooligan (G2)|hooligan]] [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] gained new powers and threatened Earth, Sideswipe was dispatched with Mudflap to take the giant Decepticon down. {{storylink|The Fury of Fearswoop}}

===Cyber Missions===

[[Image:CyberMissions4-Sideswipe searching.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
Tracking Megatron to a disused factory with Optimus, Sideswipe complained about the dust until Optimus told him to be quiet. Optimus's scans turned up nothing, but Megatron soon revealed himself, batting Sideswipe aside. The young Autobot quickly recovered and joined Megatron in sword combat, even stabbing the Decepticon leader in the foot mid-sentence. Megatron subsequently brought the roof down on the two Autobots and escaped, though neither Autobot was harmed. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 4}}

Later, Sideswipe was pursuing [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] in [[Scramble City (city)|Scramble City]], and took a turn to let the Decepticons think they had lost him, in truth following them to the facility they were heading for. After crumpling Frenzy into a ball and batting him back at Barricade, Sideswipe engaged the larger Decepticon, but was stopped with fire suppression equipment that froze him to the databanks. As the Decepticons were able to escape, Sideswipe broke free and learned that they had stolen NEST's defense deactivation codes. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 6}}

Soon after, he was able to discover a wounded Ratchet back in [[Mission City]] and took him back to [[Diego Garcia]] to be repaired. While Ratchet was getting fixed up, Sideswipe traded in his shattered blades for new blasters. While they did that, [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] arrived and threatened Sideswipe during target practice. Apparently, he had enough- he was able to shoot the [[EMP]] blaster off of Lockdown's wrist and back to Ratchet, who was fully operational. Lockdown, now without a blaster weapon, pushed Sideswipe aside and fled, much to Sideswipe's dismay, but Ratchet assured him that he was headed straight for the medical bay. There, he saw an out-cold Lockdown laying on an operating table, all the while stating he couldn't look.

The pack also included a red alternate colour scheme for Sideswipe, as a homage to his [[Generation 1]] [[Sideswipe (G1)|counterpart]].}}
{{-}}

====PSP====

{{note| Sideswipe is one of several Autobots that can be played with during the campaign mode of the game, and thus has no real story of his own apart from the events mentioned below.}}

=====Autobot campaign=====

: Sideswipe managed to get ambushed by the Decepticon forces during the battle in Shanghai, and the Autobots had to move out to save their comrade, leaving the All Spark fragment in the Decepticons' hands.

[[Image:ROTF-toy_SideswipeLegends.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Hey! I have real feet now!]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-06'''

: [[Legends Class]] Sideswipe transforms into a tiny Corvette Stingray concept car. As a Legends toy, he features a simplified transformation sequence that results in swords that consist entirely out of door [[kibble]] and barely-noticeable reliefs of his wheel-feet.

:This toy was [[redeco]]ed into ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

*'''The Fury of Fearswoop''' (Figure multi-pack, 2009)

:A "battle damaged" deco version of Legends Sideswipe was available in the [[Walmart]]-exclusive "[[The Fury of Fearswoop]]" 3-pack together with a similarly "battle damaged" version of Legends [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and Deluxe class [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]]. That the set uses a pair of Legends-class cars and a Deluxe-class jet means the toys are in a roughly-correct scale to each other... which is borked by the story, in which Fearswoop is supposedly much huger than normal thanks to some unnamed mystic artifact.

*'''Bluesteel Sideswipe''' (Legends, 2010)

:"Bluesteel" Sideswipe is a metallic blue redeco of Legends Sideswipe, also featuring some minor detail changes, including finally painting his fake wheel-feet to make them stand out.

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTFSideswipe 2009 Deluxe.jpg|right|300px|thumb|His heroes are [[Tigatron]] and [[wikipedia:Edward Scissorhands|Edward Scissorhands]].]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-04'''

:Sideswipe transforms into a silver Corvette Stingray concept car. In this mode, he sits so low that it's difficult to roll him without scraping his undercarriage, unless you perform some careful shaping after transforming him. Sideswipe's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is in his knees—bending his legs causes the blue armor plates on his knees to extend. He does have wheels in his feet like his character model, but the toy's feet have been designed in such a way that it can stand alone. Rounding out his robot-mode awesomeness, his hips have an "invisible joint" and moving pistons, while his "blades" are geared to spin out in unison. He is ''totally awesome''.

:Sideswipe's instructions aren't clear as to how his torso is supposed to connect with his chest in robot mode. The torso piece has a square peg on top of it and there is a corresponding square hole between the two screws holding the front of his chest together. Getting his torso section in front of his arm struts can be a somewhat snug fit.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed into ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

*'''Strike Mission Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:This redeco of Sideswipe features red translucent windows, a large black racing stripe running down the center of the car and fading black stripes on the doors. Like many Autobots in the NEST Global Alliance ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline refresh, he features a version of the NEST logo [[tampograph]]ed on him.

:This deco is also the basis for the [[Gravity Bot]]s [[#GravityNitro|"Nitro" Sideswipe toy]].
{{-}}

====Human Alliance====
[[Image:ROTF_HumanAlliance_Sideswipe_Epps.jpg|thumb|300px|Training with Sergeant Epps really beefed him up!]]
*'''Sideswipe / Tech. Sergeant Epps''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-22'''
**''Accessories:''

:Like all [[Human Alliance]] figures, Sideswipe is designed to allow his accompanying human figure, in this case [[Robert Epps]], to ride inside.

:While in many ways simply a larger version of the Deluxe toy, it has several changes. The wheeled feet may now fold out into a stand system, allowing Sideswipe to stand without having to balance on the wheels, or be left as is to retain a more rounded look, and his blades are now rubberized to prevent injury. The sword-hands can also be slotted into a gear system connected to the front wheels, which causes them to spin as the wheels are turned. Like the Deluxe figure, the HA Sideswipe is something of a [[shellformer]] and suffers from an excessive amount of kibble, as nearly the entire top of the vehicle mode is folded up into a backpack, with only the rear bumper being incorporated as Sideswipe's chest. The passenger's seat may either be used as a seat for Epps, or turned into a missile launcher slung over Sideswipe's left shoulder.

:A great deal goes unmentioned in the instructions: in addition to the seats behind Sideswipe's shoulders, there are pegs on both forearms that a Human Alliance human figure can stand on or have plugged into their back, but neither are accomplished very well; the pegs also interfere with free rolling in vehicle mode, scraping on the ground. There is a fold-out handle under the swiveling rear window section, which seems to serve no purpose; it's possible to fold this section over Sideswipe's head (and, by extension, any human figure sitting behind his shoulder), but the handle doesn't line up with anything. There are also small tabs that fold out of Sideswipe's waist to make him more movie-accurate. Finally, Sideswipe has a battle mask; or rather, his normal head '''is''' his battle mask. A thin sliver in the middle of his face flips back to reveal his "real" face. It looks...odd. It's probably best to leave the thing down and never speak of this feature.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Sideswipe ROTF FAB toy.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Has anyone seen my proportions?]]
*'''Battle Blade Sideswipe''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
: This roughly Deluxe-sized version of Sideswipe is a kid-friendly version with a simpler transformation, transforming from a Corvette Stingray car to a simplified version of his robot mode presented in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie. His main [[gimmick]] is his spring-loaded arm-blades which automatically swing down when pulled upward.

{{-}}
*'''Night Blades Sideswipe''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
[[Image:ROTF-toy_FAB_NightBladesSideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Haven't found my proportions yet, but look at this cool deco I found!]]

: This [[redeco]] of Battle Blade Sideswipe colors his car mode dark gray and light green. His robot-mode bits remain silver.

{{-}}

====Battle Chargers====
[[Image:ROTFSideswipe BattleChargers 2009.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He secretly envies the original [[Battlecharger]]s for having better feet.]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Battle Charger, 2009)

:Part of the [[Robot Powered Machines]] subline, Battle Charger Sideswipe is a cutesified Corvette Stingray with a [[pull-back motor]]. When pulled back and let go, his roof flips open and his robot mode pops out.

{{-}}

*'''Hyper Speed Sideswipe''' (Battle Charger, 2009)

:Hyper Speed Sideswipe is a white redeco of Battle Charger Sideswipe with black details here and there.
{{-}}

====Gravity Bots====
[[Image:ROTF-toy SideswipeGravity.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Before he joined the army, Sideswipe was picked on a lot for his "mass problem".]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Gravity Bot, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GB-04'''

: Part of the second wave of [[Gravity Bot]]s, Sideswipe uses gravity-activated [[autotransformation]] to turn into a [[super deformed]] Corvette Stingray when laid on his back. When the car is stood back up, it transforms back into its boxy robot mode.

: The toy features no [[articulation]] whatsoever, but that doesn't matter because he's awesome.

{{-}}{{anchor|GravityNitro}}
[[Image:ROTF-toy_GravityBots_NitroSideswipe.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Nitro Sideswipe''' (Gravity Bot, 2010)

: A [[redeco]] of regular Gravity Bot Sideswipe, Nitro Sideswipe features maroon windows and black stripes and wheels, very similar to the [[size class|Deluxe Class]] [[#StrikeMission|"Strike Mission" Sideswipe toy]]. He of course retains the same awesome play feature.

{{-}}

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_RobotReplicas_Sideswipe.jpg|thumb|right|200px|I haven't sliced anyone up in awhile, I gots the Blue Blades!]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Robot Replicas, 2009)
:Robot Replicas Sideswipe is a non- transforming, but highly detailed and articulated interpretation of his robot mode from the movie. He features highly posable legs, arms, feet, head, waist, neck and shoulders, making him both an awesome kid's toy and display piece.
:Funnily enough, despite the Robot Replica promise of total movie-accuracy, his arm-blades are [[For safety reasons|considerably shortened]] and are a weird metallic blue colour, rather than the silver/gray you might expect.

{{-}}

====Power Bots====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_PowerBots_Sideswipe.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Crikey!]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (Power Bots, 2009)

: [[Power Bots]] Sideswipe is a bulky, non-transforming toy for younger children. He features limited articulation in his limbs and head, two very blunt swords, and various playing sound clips and flashing lights. He has an North Americanised [[Australia]]n accent!

===Transformers (2010)===
====Deluxe Class toys====
*'''Sidearm Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:A new mold that gives Sideswipe hand held guns rather than blades.

==Merchandise==
====RPMs—Robot Powered Machines====
=====Speed Series=====
[[Image:ROTF-toy_RPM_Sideswipe.jpg|thumb|right|300px|]]
*'''Sideswipe''' (2009)
*''Number:'' '''04 of 04'''

:''[[Robot Powered Machines]]'' Sideswipe is a small, non-transforming car with his robot mode sculpted underneath. Said robot mode has his swords colored red, for some reason. The car's wheels feature through-axle construction for speedy racing on flat surfaces.

:Although a stolen [[prototype]] that surfaced in 2008 was pretty accurate to the Corvette Stingray car from the movie, the actual RPM Sideswipe toy has been severely altered and looks more like an Aston Martin. Unfortunately, Mattel was able to secure exclusive rights for releasing a Concept Stingray model car at a 1:64 scale for their ''Hot Wheels'' line (the toy was recently released as part of the "2010 New Models" lineup).

{{-}}
=====Battle Series=====
*'''Sideswipe vs. Wreckloose''' (2010)
*''Number:'' '''01 of 06'''

:A redeco of RPM Sideswipe with red stripes and a large Autobot insignia on his roof. It was only available in a two-pack with [[Wreckloose (ROTF)|Wreckloose]].

{{-}}

===Robot Heroes===
[[Image:Robotheroessideswipesideways.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Still needs training wheels.]]
*'''Sideswipe and Sideways''' (2009)
: Sideswipe is part of the first wave of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' figures and is packaged versus [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. He has rotational articulation at both shoulders, but his head is molded into his torso. In order to stand up, the figurine must rest its weight on one of his arms.
{{-}}
[[Image:Robotheroestwinswidewaysprimedemolishorsideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Damn, I'm cute."]]
*'''Shanghai Shootout''' (Multi-pack, 2009)
:Shanghai Shootout replicates the opening action scene from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', featuring figurines of [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]/[[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] (ice cream truck), [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] (vehicle mode), [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]], and Sideswipe (vehicle mode). Demolishor is a slightly-oversized figure and the centerpiece of the box set.

==Trivia==
[[Image:ROTF Sideswipe concept art.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|There was a time he would have had feet.]]
* On June 11, 2008, blurry camera phone photos from the set of ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' offered the first look at Sideswipe's vehicle mode, which was believed to be a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette XR1 at that time.<ref name="fairmont">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-concept-car-at-fairmont-park-base.html Blurry set photos from Fairmont Park]</ref> Ten days later, leaked photos offered a better look at the car being painted by Saleen, which was now revealed to be a never-seen-before Corvette model.<ref name="corvettesaleen">[http://jalopnik.com/396734/transformers-corvette-concept-z28-bumblebee-get-a-close+up Photo of the Corvette being painted by Saleen at Jalopnik]</ref> On August 7, 2008, Jalopnik claimed having received information that the car was a so-called "Corvette Centennial Concept".<ref name"centennial">[http://jalopnik.com/5034285/exclusive-the-transformers-mystery-car-is-the-corvette-centennial-design-concept Jalopnik's story on the "Corvette Centennial Concept"]</ref> [[General Motors]] finally admitted the car's existence at the Chicago Auto Show in February of 2009, now confirming that it was, in fact, a new Corvette Stingray concept.

* Rumored names for Sideswipe in the early days of the movie shooting were "Hot Rod"<ref name="upclose">[http://jalopnik.com/398892/up+close-photos-of-mystery-corvette-concept-from-new-transformers-movie More shots of the Corvette at Jalopnik], July 2009</ref> (which might have been a case of fans simply suggesting a random name and other fans subsequently treating it as gospel) and "Stinger". The latter originated with a (real) call sheet leaked in June 2008, which suggests that "Stinger" was an actual working name.<ref name="bethcall">[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2008/06/bethlehem-call-sheet-cast-tf-and-next.html Leaked call sheet at the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog], July 2008</ref>

* Thanks to that whole [[General Motors]] bankruptcy thing, Sideswipe may be the closest we'll ever get to seeing a ''real'' Stingray.

* Sideswipe was recently announced as a new downloadable character for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of Revenge of the Fallen, alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]. He is the only downloadable character with a G1 homage skin, which makes him twice as awesome.

* Sideswipe's Cybertronian mode was revealed in [[Tales of the Fallen]], as well as the fact he arrived on Earth in November 2008.

* According to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in Law and Disorder, he has a relative called [[Sunstreaker (ROTF)|Sunstreaker]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|#13's Law and Disorder}}
