Sideways is a Xitran survivor like Shockwave and her team of Mini-cons. He has his own Mini-con team that can form different helmets with different elemental powers, but unlike Shockwave’s, his are nothing more than drones. He was made to be a Mini-con Program Specialist, making sure Mini-cons never deviated from their programmed functions. After Xitra, he drifted from planet to planet in despair. Unicron then took advantage of his grief, suggesting that if the universe wanted Xitra and her ways to die, then the universe would burn. He signed on with Unicron and played both Autobot and Decepticon. He eventually disguised himself as the Alien Hunt! host, Meteorfire, and drew Hot Rod and Cosmos in with him. During the Battle of Station Square, he was revealed and dropped hiding his intentions for the Allspark. Unfortunately, the battle ended when the Allspark was safely brought to Autobot custody, but he got a consolation prize out of killing Ironhide, Optimus’ father figure. After losing a Chaos Emerald to the Decepticons, one of his fellows’ contingencies bore fruit and gave rise to Unicron. During the Year of Unicron, he was killed by Bumblebee with the restored Skyboom Shield. He rusted in Hell until the Author brought him and his fellows back to the land of the living, and now he’s gonna tear Bumblebee (Goldbug Magnus) apart!
