	This is based on nothing more than conjecture, but I think the names of Armada Side Swipe and Armada Wheeljack might have been switched at some point in their development. Wheeljack is, in appearance at least, a full-body design homage to G1-Sideswipe, and his wiki makes note of this. However, Armada Side Swipe seems to also be some sort of subtle G1-Wheeljack homage himself, seeming to reflect a younger version of the character, at least his head does. A black helmet, a set of three head ridges, set at slightly diverging angles, A grey face with blue optics, and most importantly: tiny stub versions of G1-Wheeljack's trademark ears. He doesn't have his faceplate yet, and he's wearing some stylin' sunglasses, but whatever. He's G1-Wheeljack in his younger, more socially awkward days. The two characters were introduced in the same episode, and therefore the names might have easily been mixed up on the script, but this mix-up would really only make sense if the episode was written after the two designs were ironed out, but before packaging and toy-bios were done up.

Unless the bulk of the stuff I've seen on Google is incorrect, his name is "Sideswipe". All one word.

: I can't believe there's nothing on this page yet that talks about the name change. Halfway through Sideswipe's production run, Hasbro decided to call anything "Sideswipe" "Side Swipe," since (reportedly), that's how they filed for the trademark? Hrm. Something like that. Anyway, yes, most of the images on Google are of the first-run packaging. (I tried searching for the Side Swipe packaging once.) His name was "corrected" later. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
