Sidetrack (G1)
- Sidetrack is an Autobot Micromaster in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sidetrack of the Battle Patrol is, ironically, very difficult to sidetrack. His battle strategy is to hit one target until it's slag, then move on to the next. Apparently, he's called "Sidetrack" because his tracks tend to fall off . . . [1]
Fiction
Zone OVA and manga
During the attack of the Nine Great Demon Generals on the Planet Zone Base, Sidetrack can be seen firing his missiles at Overlord, who shows little reaction to this other than an amused laughter.

As they retreat, Sidetrack and his fellow comrades of the Battle Team board Moonradar’s rocket to chase after them. and pursuit them to Earth. There, the Battle Team among other Microtransformers faces off against Trypticon and Predaking, only to find themselves again at the receiving end of the beating. Luckily, Sonic Bomber and Dai Atlas arrive just in time and save the day.
Later on, Sidetrack can be seen amongst the crowd cheering and applauding to the newly appointed Autobot Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

- Sidetrack transforms into a tan Marder Euromissile Roland SAM launcher. Though the brown turret structure is a separate piece from the tank hull, it cannot rotate due to it being part of his torso. The grey guns and missile tubes can pivot up and down, however.
- He was only available as part of a complete breakfa—uh, part of the Battle Patrol, along with his teammates Big Shot, Flak and Sunrunner.
