:''Sideswipe is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Sideswipe.jpg|thumb|right|300px|What are my arms connected to?]]

'''Sideswipe''' is not nearly as sociopathic as his brother [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], but he is every bit as skillful. He's more into battle for the sport of it. A bit of a jock, Sideswipe most craves a glorious fight to the finish as a test of his mettle.

There is a reckless edge to Sideswipe's tactics. He makes rash decisions that may endanger him, all in the name of possible victory. Cheating is also not out of the question. When everything is on the line, for Sideswipe, nothing is out of the question. However, Sideswipe is not without his humor. It's long accepted that Sideswipe is the resident prankster of the [[Ark]], along with the occasional prank from [[Jazz]].

''Italian name:'' '''Freccia'''<br>
''French-Canadian name:'' '''Frérot'''<br>
''Japanese name:'' '''Lambor''' (ra-n-bo-ru, ランボル)''<br>
''Hungarian name'': '''Csatár''' (meaning Striker)

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 Cartoon===
'''Voice Actor:''' [[Michael Bell]] (US), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japan)

Sideswipe was part of the initial crew of Autobots aboard the Ark when it crash-landed on Earth four million years ago. He awakened along with his fellow Transformers in 1984, with both he and brother being reformatted into Lamborghini sports cars. Sideswipe loaned Optimus Prime the use of his rocket pack when the Decepticons nearly escaped from Earth with a starship full of Energon.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker often operated together. When [[antimatter]]-fueled Decepticons attacked the Ark on one occasion, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker took to the air to battle with the incoming seeker jets, in a rambunctious, if ultimately ineffective, display of "jet judo."

When investigating tremors that were shaking the [[Ark|Autobot base]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s scanner found some interesting objects inside a rock wall. Sideswipe, using his piston-like arms, helped [[Brawn (G1)|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]].

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====

Sideswipe, along with his brother [[Sunstreaker]], was part of the original crew of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s Ark. When the Decepticons attacked the ship it crashed on Earth and Sideswipe, along with the rest of the combatants, lay dormant for 4 million years. When the volcano that housed the Ark erupted, the Ark's internal mechanisms revived all Transformers, making no distinction between [[Autobot]] and Decepticon. Sideswipe was alive again.

''('''Note''':Sideswipe appeared several times up until issue 50, when the Underbase-powered Starscream decimated the [[Autobot]] and Decepticon armies. Sideswipe was not seen deactivated in the saga but he did not appear again until G2.)''

====Generation 2====
Sideswipe was part of Grimlock's Commando Unit. That unit formed a raiding party facing the [[Cybertronian]]s. He had a more prominent role in subsequent events then he has had in the past. Sideswipe is present for the last battle against the [[Swarm]], but his final fate is uncertain.

====Generation Two Comics (UK)====

Sideswipe was part of Jazz's Special Commando Unit.

===3H ''[[Universe (comic)|Universe]]'' comics===
Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, [[Trailbreaker]], [[Roulette]] and [[Shadow Striker]] returned to the [[technorganic]] Cybertron after a prolonged journey and were welcomed by the [[Maximal]]s. Unicron abducted these newly-returned Transformers, in addition to many others from different times and universes, to start a final confrontation against Primus. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were rebuilt into new forms, corrupted by Unicron's influence, and set against one another in the [[Cauldron]]. Before either brother could land a killing blow, however, the fight was broken up by [[Optimus Primal]]. Sideswipe then fought his way out of Unicron alongside many other Transformers rescued by Primal and returned to Cybertron.

===Dreamwave Generation 1 Comics===
Sideswipe was one of the few Autobots to continue operating under that title during the [[Dreamwave timeline#The Dark Ages|Dark Ages]] of [[Cybertron]]. Sideswipe was one of the elite warriors serving under Prowl and as such was chosen for the mission sent against the newly constructed Decepticon battlestation [[Trypticon]]. Of course the mission was a failure, but that isn't likely to have discouraged Sideswipe.

[[Image:G1_Sideswipe_Sunstreaker_DWissue7.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hi, I'm a jock.]]

Sideswipe was part of Operation Liberation in 1998, a joint human-Autobot effort to defeat the Earth bounded Decepticons. At the end it was a success, and the captured Decepticons along with the Autobots and a human crew departed Earth en route to Cybertron in the ''[[Ark II]]''. The ship, however, was sabotaged and exploded upon liftoff.

A few years later Megatron and other Transformers, including Autobots, were seen causing havoc. It was discovered that [[Lazarus]], a scientist who participated in the ''Ark II'' project, was responsible for the sabotage of the ''Ark II'' and the resurrection of several Transformers under his control via technological tampering. {{storylink|Prime Directive, Part 1}}

[[Robert Hallo|General Hallo]] of the [[United States Military|US Military]] contacted [[Spike Witwicky]] to ask him if he could do something to help them reactivate Optimus Prime, whom they had recovered locked in a state of stasis. Spike managed to reactivate Optimus with a portion of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] that Optimus had given him prior the ill-fated journey of the ''Ark II''. Optimus subsequently went to the Arctic and used the Matrix to reactivate several Transformers, including Sideswipe. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 2}}

Sideswipe accepted the new task at hand and fought alongside his brother when the Autobots faced the Decepticons at Lazarus' ruined base (punching Starscream in the face for attacking Wheeljack) before Hallo betrayed the Autobots by attempting to destroy both factions with a nuclear weapon. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 3}} The Autobots survived when Megatron's technovirus absorbed the blast, and Sideswipe helped his comrades recover the captive Autobots imprisoned inside the base. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 4}}

As Jazz's unit worked on Megatron's virus, Sideswipe followed Optimus Prime to [[San Francisco]] for the last battle against Megatron and his Decepticons. When [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] was taken down, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker heroically (though foolishly) charged at [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], they where smashed between the giant Constructicon's palms for their trouble. After Optimus Prime destroys Devastator's head, the Sideswipe was restrained by the surviving Decepticons. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 5}} However, through human intervention, Optimus Prime freed his Autobots and the battle was rejoined. Sideswipe tag-teamed with his brother to pummel Soundwave, though the Decepticons eventually escaped when Superion sacrificed his life to save the city from General Hallo's unauthorised nuclear missile launch. {{Storylink|Prime Directive, Part 6}}

Sideswipe remained on Earth as part of Jazz's unit, while Optimus Prime returned to Shockwave's united Cybertron.

===IDW comics continuity===
Sideswipe was one of the many Autobots trained by Kup.

Before the war, he appears to have attended illegal underground arena deathmatches alongside Sunstreaker, witnessing Megatron's 54th victory. When Sunstreaker wants to join Megatron's underground fighting team Sideswipe goes along to try and talk him out of it. Whether they stuck around and were caught up in the Autobot Security raid is unknown.

Much to his dismay, he was stationed at [[Thunderhead Pass]] guarding [[Thunderwing]]'s remains instead of on [[Earth]] looking for [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. His desire to "bust some heads" was granted, however, when [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] attacked. Sideswipe blew off part of Galvatron's head, but he recovered almost immediately and knocked Sideswipe and the rest of the Autobots offline.

Soon after, Optimus Prime put [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] in charge of Thunderhead Pass and transferred [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]'s entire team - including Sideswipe - to Earth.

===IDW ''[[Hearts of Steel]]'' continuity===
Sideswipe participated in the pursuit of [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], and partially transformed from artillery boxcar mode to robot mode in order to shoot down [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]. He is the only Autobot other than [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] to speak in the whole story, and he only gets one line: "The name is Sideswipe." {{Storylink|Hearts of Steel, Part 4}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Sideswipe''' (Autobot Car, 1984/1985, 2001/2002/2003)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''04''', '''TFC-07'''
[[Image:G1sideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|100px|He had the look before it was [[Spy Changer|trendy]].]]

: Originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "New Countach LP500S", Sideswipe transforms...well, into that. The original 1984 US release did not have the [[rubsign]] found on later releases.

: In 2001, Sideswipe was re-released by [[Takara]] bundled with the mold-sharing [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] as a show-[[exclusive]] set, but his license plate decal was changed from the infringing "COUNTACH" to "CAR MACHINE". Sideswipe and Red Alert were re-re-released together in 2002 as an [[e-Hobby]] "New Year" set, with several factory-applied decals replaced with [[paint application]]s, the "CAR MACHINE" plate-decal now blank, plus an additional recolored alternate sticker sheet for each one. This version, minus the extra decal sheet, was re-re-''re''-released as part of the [[Transformers Collection]] "book-box series". Finally, this version, albeit with its spring-loaded launcher de-sprung [[for safety reasons]], was released in the US as part of [[Hasbro]]'s [[Commemorative Series]] VIII line, one of the last American reissues. In fact, despite the Commemorative Series' exclusivity to Toys "R" Us stores, CS Sideswipe ended up at Kay-Bee stores, and at heavy discount.

: This mold was also used to make [[Clamp Down]], [[Deep Cover]] and [[Tigertrack]].

*'''Sideswipe w/ Vanguard''' (Action Master, 1991)
[[Image:ActionmasterSideswipe_toy.jpg|left|thumb|I have a hat!]]

: A non-transforming action figure, [[Action Master]] Sideswipe is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. His partner-unit [[Vanguard]] forms a backpack and battle helmet.
{{-}}

===Generation 2===
*'''Sideswipe''' (Autobot Heroic, 1993)
[[Image:G2Sideswipe_toy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|He got dressed in the dark and accidentally put his colors on backwards.]]

: Part of the first assortment of Autobot cars, Sideswipe's original toy had his colors re-arranged to a black car mode with red and white robot parts. His original rocket launcher was removed, and replaced with a large spring-loaded launcher that could be hand-held or mounted on his [[retool]]ed car-mode roof.

:His new spring-loaded missile launcher originally came from a [[G.I. Joe]] action figure.

*'''Sideswipe''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
[[Image:G2GobotSideswipe.jpg|left|thumb|120px|He shrank and faded in the wash.]]

: A redeco of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Firecracker]], Sideswipe transforms into a blue Lamborghini Diablo with through-axle construction for super-fast rolling in car mode.

: This mold was also used to make Go-Bot Optimus Prime and ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[R.E.V. (RID)|R.E.V.]]

{{-}}

===Universe===
*'''Sideswipe''' (Deluxe, 2003)
[[Image:UniverseSideswipe_toy.jpg|right|thumb|I should've had a [[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] retool!]]

: One of several [[exclusive]]s to [[OTFCC 2003]], ''[[Universe]]'' Side Swipe is a redeco of the ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]] mold, once again transforming into a Lamborghini Diablo. A pair of add-on thrusters become arm-mounted launchers for robot mode; each one being a pressure-launch missile launcher.

: It is notable that the part that connects the toy's windshield to the main body uses a red decal rather than paint, as that part is made out of [[unpaintable plastic]]. The police lights from the original mold were removed, leaving this area bare.

: This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Inferno (TFU)|Inferno]] and Sunstreaker.

===Smallest Transformers===
*'''Lambor''' (2003)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF-02'''
[[Image:STFLambor.jpg|left|thumb|Yet another release Sunstreaker just wasn't cool enough for.]]

: ''[[Smallest Transformers]]'' Lambo is a very small-scale, extensively simplified replica of the original Sideswipe toy. He has very little articulation, he has no weapons and his vehicle mode wheels cannot roll.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make ''Smallest Transformers'' [[Red Alert (G1)|Alert]]

{{-}}

===Alternators===
*'''Side Swipe''' (2003, 2004)
:''Alternator ID number:'' '''2'''
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-02'''
[[Image:AlternatorsSide_Swipe_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Not [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]].]]

: The second ''[[Alternators]]'' toy released, Side Swipe transforms into a licensed 1:24 scale [[wikipedia:Dodge Viper|Dodge Viper]] featuring opening doors, a detailed interior, and a hood that opens to reveal an engine bay holding a replica Viper V-10 engine. The vehicle mode also features movable steering and rubber tires with vacuum-metalized wheels. His removable engine becomes a blaster.

: The main difference between the American Alternators and the Japanese Binaltech releases is that the Japanese version has die-cast metal parts for most of the car's outer body shell, with the exception of the rear end, and the entire red exterior of the car is fully painted, unlike the Alternator's flat red plastic.

: This mold was [[retool]]ed to make [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]].

===Titanium Series===
*'''Side Swipe''' (Robot Master, 2006)
[[Image:TitaniumRM_Side_Swipe.jpg|left|thumb|120px|Sideswipe turns small a lot.]]

: ''Titanium'' Side Swipe is based upon Sideswipe's Alternators toy. Constructed partially of die cast metal, Side Swipe has limited articulation located in his shoulders and neck. He comes with a removable engine blaster and an Autobot symbol display stand.

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
*Sideswipe's Japanese name, "Lambor" is derived from the name of his vehicle mode, a Lamborghini. It may also be a word play on the Japanese word "Rambo", which means "reckless, violent, rough". Wouldn't be the [[Autrooper|last]] [[Nine Great Demon Generals|time]] Takara's done such word puns.

* Sideswipe's [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|TFU]] bio text describes features of Sunstreaker's toy, leading many to believe Sideswipe's original toy was supposed to be created from Sunstreaker's mold and vice-versa, with the colors swapped between the molds. The [[Diaclone]] Sunstreaker toy was available in red<ref>[http://diaclone.net/orid/dia036/index.html "Countach-LP500S/Super Tuning" at Diaclone.net (Japanese site)]</ref> and police<ref>[http://diaclone.net/orid/dia038/index.html "Countach-LP500S/Super Tuning Policecar Type" at Diaclone.net (Japanese site)]</ref> versions, but not yellow. The mold used for Sideswipe, on the other hand, was released in ''Diaclone'' in both red and yellow decos.<ref>[http://diaclone.net/orid/dia050/index.html " New Countach-LP500S" at Diaclone.net (Japanese site)]</ref>

* During the 1990s, another company held the "Sideswipe" trademark in the "toys" field, even though Hasbro still released two toys using that name as part of the [[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]] line (it's unclear if this resulted in any legal repercussions for Hasbro). When Hasbro finally managed to reclaim the name for the [[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]] line, the name was now parsed as "[[Side Swipe (RID)|Side Swipe]]", in two words, for whatever reason. The only two toys since then to spell "Sideswipe" as one word again were the OTFCC 2003 exclusive and the [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Armada Super-Con]]. However, the former was referred to as "Side Swipe" when featured as a cross-sell on the packaging for the OTFCC 2003 [[Shadow Striker]]/[[Roulette]] two-pack, whereas a packaging variant for the latter released as part of the "Unicron Battles" refresh of the [[Armada (toyline)|Armada]] line also saw the name changed to "Side Swipe".

* The ''Alternators'' Dodge Viper mold was originally designed to be a new body for [[Tracks]] after the first attempt to secure the Corvette license had fallen through. Eventually, though, Chevrolet had a change of mind and granted Hasbro and Takara the license for the Corvette design after all. As a result, the Viper mold was slightly redesigned, was given a new head sculpt and released as Sideswipe (or "Side Swipe") instead. This explains why, unlike most of the early Alternators toys, Side Swipe's robot mode bears little resemblance his G1 self. The most noticeable redesigns from the "Tracks" design was the vehicle mode's doors being moved from the "backpack" [[kibble]] (where they would have resembled the G1 Tracks toy's wings) to the sides of the arms, thus being the most obvious visual cue taken from the G1 Sideswipe toy.

Blurr (Armada)

2007-10-19T22:30:17Z

71.224.28.65: /* Cybertron */

{{disambig3|Blurr}}
: ''Blurr is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Blurr-AR-DVD.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Raise your hand if you're sure!]]

'''Blurr''' is a serious minded, yet highly competitive warrior. His skill and dedication have made him an expert marksman, serving as a sniper in [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime's]] unit. Once a champion racer, Blurr now trains up and coming racers in the intircacies of the sport. His gruff personality can be off-putting to his students and fellow soldiers, but he is tough on them only because he expects the very best from himself and those around him.

His [[Mini-Con]] partner is '''[[Incinerator]]'''.

:''Japanese ''Micron Densetsu'' name:'' '''Silverbolt'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Armada''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Brian Drummond]] (US) [[Isshin Chiba]] (Japan)

Blurr was an Autobot officer holding the rank of lieutenant, a veteran of the campaigns on the wartorn planet Duke. While serving on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Blurr encountered a young Autobot named Side Swipe, who had somehow fallen prey to a trap which left him hanging from a rope. To his chagrin, saving the younger soldier led to Side Swipe idolizing Blurr, to the point of following the seasoned soldier to [[Earth]] when Blurr transferred to Optimus Prime's command. {{Storylink|Past, Part 1}}

Blurr is described as a racer with a gruff serious personality. He doesn't like small talk and prefers to keep himself busy working. Blurr has a dislike for the children and especially Side Swipe. Blurr relates most to [[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]], as the two are very similar, and he maintains a friendly rivalry with [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]]/

====''Cybertron''====
:''Voice actor:'' ? (English), ? (Japanese)
Appearing only in vehicle mode, and usually with several [[redeco]]s of himself, Blurr is one of the many Autobot refugees hiding on Earth. He and his redecoed pals later appear on Velicotron, with no mention of them having been on Earth or Cybertron previously. Blurr is never referred to by name, and no mention is made of his past adventures.

At some point he adds a spoiler.

====Black Sea of Sandokan====
{{storylink|Black Sea of Sandokan}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Blurr was a member of Jetfire's squad on Cybertron, along with [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], Sideswipe and Overload. He makes his first appearance in Issue 10 on one of Jetfire's screens when Optimus Prime visits Autobase:Cybertron. In Issue 17 he was given the task of blowing up the Nexus by Jetfire, but he was unable to do so as the destruct sequence could only be activiated manually. While fighting the [[Unicron]] herald [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], Blurr's gun and fingers were cut off by the Pretender.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Blurr with Incinerator''' (Super-Con, 2002/2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-08'''
[[Image:ArmadaBlurr_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Kinda hard to be the fastest Autobot with all that freakin' [[kibble]] on his back!]]

: Blurr transforms into a sleek Cybertronic race car. In this mode, plugging his packed-in Mini-Con partner [[Incinerator]] into the space under Blurr's spoiler causes the rear side panels of Blurr's car mode to flip down into a "flight mode". This mode also makes his twin [[Powerlinx]]-activated spring-loaded missile launchers available, which become hand-held weapons in robot mode.

: The Japanese release of Blurr has several significant color differences, most notably the lack of "dirt-wash" on his car mode, clear-red canopy rather than clear-yellow, plus his head has an entirely different set of [[paint applications]].

[[Image:MicronSilverbolt_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Incinerator was out sick that day.]]

: In November of 2003, US Toys "R" Us stores had special bonus pack Max-Con (Deluxe) toys, which came with a single bonus Mini-Con attached to the card over their sticker, for ''less'' than the price as a normal Max-Con during Toys "R" Us' post-Thanksgiving-day sale. Like [[Sideways]], Blurr could come with one of the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]] members: [[Buzzsaw (Armada)|Buzzsaw]], [[Drill Bit (Armada)|Drill Bit]], or [[Dualor]].

: The same mold was used to make ''Cybertron'' [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] and ''[[Universe]]'' [[Swerve (Universe)|Swerve]].

{{-}}

* '''Silverbolt w/ Turbo and Street Speed Microns''' (multi-pack, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MS-05'''

: In Japan, Blurr was available both separately and in a multi-pack with the [[Street Speed Mini-Con Team]].

===Cybertron===
*'''Blurr''' (2005)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''GS-01'''
[[Image:CybertronBlurr_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Clearly a very common [[Earth]] vehicle.]]
:A retool of ''Armada'' Blurr, ''Cybertron'' Blurr transforms into a sleek Cybertronic Ferrai F50 like race car. As he comes with no Mini-Con, inserting his Cyber Planet Key into the space under Blurr's spoiler causes the rear side panels of Blurr's car mode to flip down into a "flight mode". This mode also makes his twin spring-loaded missile launchers available, which become hand-held weapons in robot mode. These missile launchers have been similarly retooled to remove the Powerlinx gimmick, replaced with traditional firing tabs. Blurr also features a new head, based heavily upon ''Generation 1'' [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]].

==Trivia==
* Cybertron Blurr has two separate Hasbro-written profiles, both of which contradict his appearance on the show. The bio published on Hasbro's Transformers website [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Bios&phase=cybertron&faction=autobot&name=BLURR]indicates Blurr is the ''Armada'' character, who has stayed behind on Cybertron to protect it from the Decepticon assault in the face of the [[Unicron Singularity]]'s appearance. The bio on the toy package [http://www.hasbro.com/default.cfm?page=browse&product_id=16855] describes him as a former racing champion who trains new racers, makes no mention of his past in Armada, and can easily be intepreted as describing a native Velocitronian. Both bios describe him with his gruff Armada personality.
