Here the remaining Autobots gather, including recruits, Drift, Hound & Crosshairs. Optimus scans a white truck, changing his vehicle form, and leads them to Monument Valley. As Optimus traps him using a factory chain, Lockdown tosses a grenade and pulls Cade, Tessa and Shane to safety. Lockdown appears and enters into battle with Optimus. He is among the surviving Autobots at the end of the film.

He helps Bumblebee and Ratchet fire at incoming Decepticons, and briefly fights Sentinel Prime alongside them. He almost shared Que's fate but escapes after Wheelie and Brains crash the Decepticon ship. He was captured by the Decepticons and witnessed the death of Que. He participated in the final battle in Chicago. Sideswipe was expelled from Earth along with the other Autobots and was thought to have perished when Starscream destroyed the Xanthium. He then helped Ironhide finish off Crowbar and Crankcase in a Mexican Standoff as Sideswipe called it. Sideswipe helped Bumblebee and Dino fight the three Dreads on the highway, who are after Sentinel Prime, using his vehicle weapons mode to shoot at Hatchet. Later he joined Dino and Bumblebee in accompanying the humans to find out more about the Space Race. He accompanied Bumblebee, Que and Dino when they investigated a nuclear facility in the Middle East. Sideswipe returns in Dark of the Moon as one of the main Autobots.

Sideswipe was brushed aside by the Fallen when he teleported in front of them. They arrived in Egypt and fought against many Decepticons and watched as Optimus Prime was resurrected. Sideswipe was surrounded by the human military and forced to go back to the Autobot base alongside Ironhide, Ratchet, Arcee and Jolt. He was also seen in the fight against the Decepticons after Optimus Prime was killed by Megatron as Bumblebee and the Twins escaped with Sam. As he landed, Sideswipe reattached the blade (which was still embedded in Sideways) and forced it lengthwise down Sideways' body, cutting him in half. Using his wheeled feet to menuvere, Sideswipe somersaulted over him while shooting at him, then threw one of his arm blades into the front of Sideways' vehicle mode. Sideswipe first appears in the chase in Shanghai, pursuing the Decepticon Sideways. Note: this comic strip functions also funtions as a prequel to Revenge of the Fallen, which does not follow the continuity of the IDW comics. Soon after, Demolisher had been sighted in Shanghai, China, and Sideswipe headed there with the others, although, perhaps taking Ironhide's advise to heart, he would let Ironhide and Optimus defeat the Decepticon. Understanding this, he was forced to admit that Ironhide was correct. In the aftermath, Sideswipe saw the fear and mistrust the humans regarded him with because of his violent actions. Ultimately more reinforcements from NEST arrived, and Demolishor fled the scene.


The old veteran had to serve as damage control during Sideswipe's singleminded pursuit into the city of Buenos Aires. The younger Autobot was openly insubordinate towards Ironhide, warning him not to get in the way. Showing no regard for humans in pursuing his quarry, Sideswipe reached Ezeiza International Airport, where his recklessness caught up with him as Ironhide arrived on the scene to rein him in. Sideswipe was summoned to Earth by Optimus Prime's message, arriving with the Wreckers on their ship, the Xantium. Sideswipe proved a loose cannon as he continued his vendetta against Demolishor when the Decepticon turned up in Montevideo, Uruguay. Sideswipe was ashamed, not only over having failed to protect his charges, but also because he had lived to tell the tale. This settlement was found by Demolishor, who slaughtered them. Sideswipe is relatively serious, and always keen to prove his skill in combat on the battlefield.Īfter joining the Autobots, Sideswipe was trained by Ironhide in the art of war. After his training was complete, he became the protector of a settlement of displaced Autobots. He also has two wheeled feet like Bonecrusher did in the first film. He transforms into an adapted vehicle mode of a modified Chevrolet Corvette Stingray/Centennial Concept in the second film, and later a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in the third film. Converting to his vehicle to drive at blazing speed, he uses every trick in the book to get close to his opponent, and put his powerful swords to work. Focusing on his enemies with absolute attention, his blades are a shining blur as he leaps through the air, twisting to avoid enemy fire. He is sleek, fast, and accomplished in battle.
