The name or term "Broadside" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Broadside (disambiguation).
Broadside is a Mini-Con from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Broadside loves the dark. And he's very good at operating in the dark, with a cruel streak that has certainly helped the Night Attack Mini-Con Team earn its grim reputation (and string of "dead or alive" warrants on numerous planets). But he's endlessly spouting off what he believes are creepy warnings about the darkness swallowing victims and the endless night and the like that some have a very hard time taking seriously, or just find outright pretentious and annoying.

Fear the darkness and the shadows for we are there!

This looks like a cool place to kick it.

Broadside was among a few of the Mini-Cons who striked in order to let the human children join the Autobots on their journey into space. Later, he and the other Mini-Cons all boarded the Axalon, and aided in the battle against the Decepticons. Depart
