: Sideswipe is a redeco of [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'']] [[Breakdown (Animated)|Breakdown]] (itself a [[retool]] of Deluxe Class ''Animated'' [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)#Toys|Rodimus Minor]]), transforming into a futuristic car that is an homage to the vehicle mode of Generation 1 [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. A panel on the car's hood, which is also the figure's chest, can be flipped to either show an engine block or the figure's Autobot [[insignia]]. The figure comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching double crossbow. His bow can be tabbed to the roof of his car mode or snapped on his hand. The tabs that secure his bow in vehicle mode are 5mm wide, making it useable by other figures as well. His legs are normally bent for the underside of his car mode but can be locked straight during transformation. | |||
: The original version of the mold was redecoed into [[Black Rodimus]]. Sideswipe was limited to 1500 pieces and sold in a set with [[Toxitron]]. | |||

Timelines
- Sideswipe and Toxitron (Souvenir set, 2011)
- Accessories: crossbow/missile launcher, 2 missiles
- Sideswipe is a redeco of Animated Breakdown (itself a retool of Deluxe Class Animated Rodimus Minor), transforming into a futuristic car that is an homage to the vehicle mode of Generation 1 Hot Rod. A panel on the car's hood, which is also the figure's chest, can be flipped to either show an engine block or the figure's Autobot insignia. The figure comes with a spring-loaded missile-launching double crossbow. His bow can be tabbed to the roof of his car mode or snapped on his hand. The tabs that secure his bow in vehicle mode are 5mm wide, making it useable by other figures as well. His legs are normally bent for the underside of his car mode but can be locked straight during transformation.
- The original version of the mold was redecoed into Black Rodimus. Sideswipe was limited to 1500 pieces and sold in a set with Toxitron.
Notes
- Sideswipe is seen in the "The Great War" boardgame in the Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II. If an Autobot player lands on his spot, he gets 1000 Victory Points.
- Like a lot of the random incidentals in The AllSpark Almanac II, Sideswipe's head is designed by Bill Forster.
