- Japanese ID number: MC-10
- Side Swipe transforms into a blue Nissan Skyline sedan. He is packaged with Mini-Con Nightbeat, who can store in a flip-out section of the back end of Side Swipe's vehicle mode. Pressing down on the sigil plate in vehicle mode swings his car hood halves forward in a spring-loaded attack. These hood parts end up on his arms in robot mode, giving him a spring-loaded attack in that mode. Attaching Nightbeat (or any other Mini-Con mold) to the Powerlinx plug on his back activates a "punching" action gimmick in his left arm.
- A slightly retool of this mold was used to make Oil Slick and Treadshot, and a more heavily retooled version was used for Cybertron Runamuck.
