Trans-phase mode

I may look dead, but I'm not!

Trans-phase mode is the nebulous, nanite-like form that Sideways sometimes takes. Whether it be a nanite cloud, a static-textured tentacle, or his appearance projected onto the sky, it doesn't matter. Regardless of his form, you can't destroy him! Even if you hack him into tiny pieces.

Trivia

• Concept sketches for the Armada cartoon show a 'skeletonized' version of Sideways associated with this mode. The concept was ultimately not used.
