Sideswipe clone (G1)
- The Sideswipe clone is a Decepticon drone from the St. Michael Story Books portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.
The Sunstreaker clone is a duplicate of the real Sideswipe, undistinguishible to the casual observer. Unlike the real Sideswipe, he is made out of a special ore only found on Carob Island. Oh, and he's also unconditionally loyal to Megatron thanks to the latter's reprogramming. He was built thanks to the mechanical expertise of Madame Cee.
Fiction
St Michael Story Books
The Sideswipe clone was created with the sole purpose in mind to frame the real Sunstreaker. Under Megatron's command, he was sent to destroy the Nova Suspension Bridge in broad daylight in front of plenty of witnesses. His deed done, the Sideswipe clone then took off, never to be seen again. Deadly Paradise
Notes
- The Sideswipe clone is never pictured throughout the storybook, as his part of the story is told exclusive through the testimony of eye-witnesses. Considering that he looks exactly like Sideswipe, who is pictured in the book, however, it doesn't take much imagination to picture him.
