'''Sideswipe''' is always happy in the heat of battle. He's also a bit of a smart-aleck, and this tends to cheese off [[Air Raid (WFC)|his comrades]]. Very competitive, he'll do anything to win.

===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===
Sideswipe made his name at the Autobot victory of [[Kalis]], bringing down [[Bruticus Maximus (WFC)|Bruticus Maximus]] with [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]. Sideswipe boasted he tore off Bruticus' [[Onslaught (WFC)|head]], a claim [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] considered hyperbole. Optimus did not consider Sideswipe one of his closest comrades but he was often present at their meetings. He concurred with Jazz that fighting [[Dark Energon|Darkened]] Decepticons was better than fleeing, and he did so when [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] invaded [[Teletraan-1]] and took the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]]. Afterwards he aided in extracting Optimus when he rescued [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Kaon]], and guarded over Jazz and [[Prowl (Prime)|Prowl]] as they recovered from that adventure. When Optimus returned from Cybertron's [[core]] with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he began [[Ark (WFC)|Project Generation One]], a plan to leave Cybertron as it purged itself of Megatron's poison. Though he understood why Optimus was doing it, it still felt to Sideswipe like they were quitting the war. He continued to accompany Optimus in sabotaging [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] and was appointed the ''Ark'''s pilot, ensuring it journeyed through the last [[space bridge]], to a [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] — where the [[AllSpark]] was detected nearby.

As part of [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus's]] plan to rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]], Sideswipe was imprisoned in [[Kaon]] with the other Autobots. [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] sent the prisoners for "recycling", but [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] rescued them just in time. Optimus, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee then fought their way in and out of the prison in order to save Zeta, to Sideswipe's enjoyment. Despite being teleported into prison again, courtesy of Megatron, Optimus used his energon axe to get them out, leaving Sideswipe impressed. The squad of Autobots freed the captured Air Raid and all the other prisoners, and then, after blasting through more Decepticons and barely making it over a floor under assault, intended to free Zeta Prime as well... but found him being guarded and tortured by Soundwave and his minions. After defeating them, Sideswipe accompanied Optimus and Bumblebee as they brought the deceased Zeta to the [[Autobot High Council]], and witnessed Optimus's promotion to [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

===Transformers: Cybertron Adventures===
After Trypticon attacked Iacon from orbit, Sideswipe was one of the first Autobots able to run recon on the damage and look for survivors. While traveling through the debris he was contacted by Ratchet, who was nearby and in need of help. Sideswipe quickly changed course to chase after the medic, finally finding him damaged from a brief confrontation with Megatron. Later, as Barricade infiltrated Iacon, Sideswipe gave the Decepticon a brief chance to surrender before opening fire. Sideswipe was badly damaged before Barricade fled the scene. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}
