Sideways is the consummate con-artist. He is misleading and deceitful in everything he does, portraying himself as the ninja-like warrior or the aloof drifter, and he lives for the look of shock and betrayal on his victims' faces when they realize he's played them for fools. When the displaced population of Planet X allied themselves with Unicron to avenge themselves on Gigantion, this treacherous nature made him the perfect robot to pull off the ultimate act of treason—an attempt to sow confusion between Autobot and Decepticon to prevent them from uniting to oppose his dark master.
Though Sideways appears to be a robot of average size and strength, he is nigh-invincible when he calls upon the powers of Unicron. Using the mysterious trans-phase mode, he can take any form he chooses, and "heal" even the most grievous damage at will. Often, he'll eschew a body entirely, choosing to speak through monitors or as a vision in the sky. When it comes to physical forms, there is one constant, however. Whether Sideways appears as one of several Transformer-like bodies, a jungle of tentacles, or a cloud of weird particles, he always chooses to shroud his face behind a mask or visor or Mini-Con, preferring to keep himself mysterious and anonymous.
If Sideways has a weakness, it's that no one's sure where he ends and Unicron begins. Is he more than a puppet, or has the consummate con-artist been conned by the Dark God he serves?
