- Sideways is an Autobot from the Robots in Disguise continuity family.
Sideways was recruited into the Autobot army on Cybertron around the time that Fortress Maximus was uncovered on Earth. He modified his body to resemble a Terran sports motorcycle, facilitating the speed with which he performed many of his duties. Conscientious and ninja-like, Sideways maintained a mysterious silence about himself, expressing only a desire to quickly engage the enemy and then return to Cybertron (presumably from Earth, given his alt-mode).
Toys
Robots in Disguise (2001)
- Sideways vs. Axer (Mega multi-pack, 2002)
- The Sideways toy is a yellow and black redeco (and minor retooling, from changes made to the mold for a Japanese Microman version) of Road Rocket, transforming into a Yamaha GTS1000A racing motorcycle with a light-up rear wheel suspension/buzzsaw weapon. He came packaged with Axer in a Wal-Mart exclusive two-pack. Of note is that Sideways is, rather unusually, cast entirely from black plastic except for the transparent portions, with all other colors being paint.
- This set was released in Japan as a ToysЯUs-exclusive "USA Edition" on May 30, 2002.
- This mold was going to be used to make Laser Cycle Jazz in Generation 2, but the line was cancelled before the toy hit full production.
