Check out the Retrospective for Sideswipe's brother, Sunstreaker here - ua-cam.com/video/qxf9q8ZQK7M/v-deo.html While Sunstreaker may have a giant ego, his brother, Sideswipe jumps into battle against the Decepticons. Today we take a look at the Autobot who doesn't break the rules, but bends them. A LOT!
Once we get Legacy Breakdown and Dead End, I want to see the Legacy Stunticons repainted into Optimus, Jazz, Mirage, Sideswipe, and Windcharger as a "Masquerade 5-Pack".
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and learnt a lot too. Sideswipe was always my favourite of the two brothers and one of my favourite autobots ever. Also it was nice to see you give a quick mention to Stan Chou, that guy has the patience of a saint.
Having a younger brother that I have to look out for, these two are some of my favorite characters and I find myself buying up and pairing them as much as I can.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe have always been my favorites. I would love to see more adventures with just them two. I always hate seeing toy of Sideswipe done without Sunstreaker.
Not going to lie, Sideswipe was always one of my favorite autobots.( He was just so cool) Micheal Bell as the voice actor may had something to do with it. My top 5 autobot list is O Prime, Sideswipe, Hot Rod, Brawn, and of course my man Prowl.
With sideswipe g2 color schemes being one of my personal favourite things about g2,i'm glad we are seeing it so much in now days (like in animated and siege)
Sideswipe in the G1 was always my favorite take on him and of course his vehicle mode was my favorite of all the autobot vehicle modes. I definitely agree we should have more Sunstreaker and Sideswipe interactions as these brothers are just fun, similar to Prowl and Bluestreak’s brotherly dynamic.
Your welcome! Great work on the deleted scene! I'd love to see the battle sequence of Optimus Prime extended with Megatron's roundhouse kick and the Seekers fighting Kup, Arcee, Springer, and Hot Rod before the "I've got to help Prime!" I'm sure you noticed it looking over the story boards.
I've always loved Sideswipe. Despite my introduction being the live action movie version, I've really grown attached to his original character bio. He's become one of my favorite Autobots in recent years, up there with Hot Rod, Blurr, and Wheeljack. Great video!
I always loved sideswipe,he will be always one of my fan favourites,my favourite versions of sideswipe has to be : g1-armada-animated-bayverse-rid 2015(because of the design)-shattered glass-devstation game-wfc game 2011,i love how he was supposed to be sunstreaker-and sunstreaker was supposed to be him
Sideswipe is my favorite character in all of Transformers and I'm really happy that I got to learn even more about him in this vid. Keep up the great work Rodimus!
i stan the Bayverse Sideswipe. i like the Armada version, aligned continuity, i never knew Sideswipe was in Animated till now. whilst i like Michael Bell as Sideswipe, the Bayverse actors are my preferred version. but i love Travis Willingham and the other voice actors who voiced him.
Sideswipe was the reason I fell in love with lamborghinis as a child when everyone else liked Ferraris. He is still one of my favourites and so is the contach
Michael Bell is such a great voice actor...it's amazing that Prowl and Sideswipe on this show and Quackerjack on Darkwing Duck were all voiced by him when they were such different personalities.
I'm a week late watching this but wanted to say you did another great job. I learned a few things from the Unicron Trilogy that I missed...and have no intention on revisiting.
The Lamborghini Countach that Diaclone and G1 Sideswipe were based on was an interesting custom made model: the 1975 Walter Wolf Special so-called "LP500S" version 1. The Austrian racing magnate ordered a white bespoke LP400 in 1975, but he was not satisfied with it. So he asked for improvements to be made, which would later become common features on more advanced versions of the car. Sideswipe has the periscopic roof depression of the LP400, and also lacks rear side marker lights and a stylized "S" on the rear fascia just like the LP400. However, Sideswipe also sports the Walter Wolf Special v.1's front air dam, Rallye Racing decals, wheel fender flares, Campagnolo Bravo wheels with raised rims around the wheel holes, and giant rear wing--all of which would feature prominently on the LP400S model, later. The Walter Wolf Special also included a 5.0L V12 engine for extra power, which gave rise to the moniker "LP500S" being used with the custom car long before any LP500S actually went into production and distribution to other customers. And this is reflected in the Diaclone Countaches and Sideswipe likewise being labeled as LP500s. That being said, the original Walter Wolf Special v.1 car that served as the inspiration for the Diaclones and Sideswipe was really a combination LP400 and LP400S with a 5.0L motor. The actual LP500S production car came years later and had different Campagnolo wheels and a different roof. Wolf was known for envisioning and driving exciting new cars, but not for keeping them long. His v.1 Countach ended up becoming part of a Japanese super car show ring. In this capacity, it became the basis for countless Countach toys and plastic model kits in Japan. It appears that all Japanese Countach products in the late '70s and early '80s copied the Japanese Wolf Special v.1, right down to its hybridized LP400/LP400S feature set, despite the rise of other more successful variants elsewhere in the world. This Japanese Countach had become a sort of national idol. And so, Takara modeled almost all of its G1 Countach Transformers off of the same source: Sideswipe, Red Alert, Autokron I, Tigertrack, Clampdown, and Deep Cover; and to a lesser extent Sunstreaker, Spin-Out, and Cordon. That original Walter Wolf Special is still in Japan, to this day. Okado Eiichi, proprietor of a Lamborghini specialty shop, acquired the car himself. He says it is still used to design toys and models, even now. Given all of this, very late in G1, in the 1989 W9/Victory toylines, Free Wheeler and Deadwheeler finally received the updated form of a Lamborghini LP5000QV Quattrovalvolve, which was distinguished by more prominent front and rear bumpers and a large bump for an engine cover over the rear deck, front and rear side marker lights, and no periscopic roof indentation. But the classic, quintessential Transformers Lambo remains the Walter Wolf Special "LP500S" version 1: the Japanese Countach.
I have always like this character so much that I can't believe in season 1 and 2 he never got a episode as the main character but instead powerglide,seaspray and beachcomber got their own episodes unbelievable
Perfect, simply perfect. I had no idea he had so many toys after G1 with his name on it. And he stole the spotlight of his bro in so many iterations of transformers. G1 is still the best version, with the best actor! Awesome work Rodimus!
He’s always been my favourite in fact when i got Transformers devastation I don’t know at first sideswipe was added in but as soon i got to section were I played as him I instantly said I’m gonna main him throughout the game and to my word i did so glad they got his original VA back for it to.
One of my most favorite Transformers ever alongside SunStreaker,Red Alert, ClampDown,TigerTrack,Soundwave,Ultra Magnus, and Bumblebee,thank you for Posting about Sideswipe Rodimus keep them coming,also my Favorite G1 Version of Sideswipe it's The Cartoon Classic Retroboot Version of Sideswipe who it's not only the Twin Brother of SunStreaker but also he's a Heroic Autobot and a member of both The Heroic Autobots and Pyro's Team of Autobots he's also (as of 2022): A Warrior and a Cool Guy With Jack-Hanmer arms, a rocket pack and little in the way of personality and the equal of his twin brother SunStreaker in the Combat arts but less cold blooded also Allegiance:(as of 2022):Autobot, Function:(as of 2022): Warrior,Transformation:(as of 2022):New Countach LP500s,also the Retrospective for Sideswipe was very good, also thank you for sharing Rodimus Keep up the good work Stay safe out there have a great day and until next time Till All Are One.🙂🏋️💪✌️🙂🦸🇺🇲
I love how Michael Bell gave a tough, authoritative voice to Prowl while giving a looser, youthful, more fun-loving voice to Sideswipe. (Even if Mike mistakenly switched them from time to time!) One of the greatest regrets of the original cartoon is that he and Sunstreaker didn't get a spotlight episode for themselves as Bots like Gears, Mirage, and Cliffjumper did. Can you imagine all the sibling rivalry hijinks that would have occurred?! Which is why, as it was the first time we saw the twins in a starring role in the comics, that DREAMWAVE Insecticon storyline will always rank high with me. Hasbro should trademark "Jet Judo" as a Sides 'n' Sunny creation! 😉
It wouldn't be Transformers G1 without the Brothers Sideswipe and Sunstreaker... Just like it wouldn't be Transformers G1 without the closely related Blue/SilverStreak, Smokescreen, and Prowl. Yeah--great overview. Sideswipe/Sunstreaker two of my favorites, for sure.
Yeah, G1 Sideswipe always kinda pissed me off, as the Sunstreaker toy CLEARLY has the built-in jetpack (the car's turbo intakes obviously meant to double as the jetpack intakes) and the pile driver hands via his accessories. Anyway, thanks for posting!
Just got the Kingdom Sideswipe in the mail today. There's nothing more satisfying than getting quite possibly THE definitive version of such a classic character for a great price
First version of sideswipe I was introduced was the bay verse movies but the version I love the most is the war and fall of cybertron version. He’s actually one of my favorite autobots.
I would argue that what you love about the first Aligned Sideswipe are the same things present about the G1 bot since the developers were trying to ensure they were there for the character. Of course with the absence of Sunstreaker.
11:13 It's that a DX reference? Sunstreaker as "HBK" Shawn Michaels & Sideswipe as "The Game" Triple HHH. And down without that, with got some two words for ya?....... CROWD: *SUCK IT!* And take note, I need to add Sideswipe's siblings, Deep Cover, Clampdown & Tiger Track in the future Transformers series
Sideswipe Retrospective i don't break the rules, i bend them - a lot! good job now Mr Rodimus Primal keep it up working hard now as well and stay safe ❤️
I always wished we had gotten more "sibling stories" featuring Sideswipe and Sunstreaker in animated forms. We did get the "Autobot Brothers" in Robots In Disguise but it was never as much fun as the Primadonna that was Sunstreaker and the Spitfire Rookie nerd that was Sideswipe! They really had a fun dynamic!
G1 was all about vehicle modes and Sideswipe’s was one of the sweetest. The 84’ Lamborghini Countach was/is a thing of beauty. And his robot mode? Also one of, if not the best of the 84’ releases.
Energon cubes weren't in the original comic books Megatron and Optimus and the transformers were after fuel on earth lol energon became very popular on the TV shows first season
Reading about his fate in the IDW books, and the bond he shared with Sunstreaker and then Arcee, lent a great deal of emotion to the series. It brought a somber tone to an otherwise violent story. Seeing him in the G2 books with that terrific color scheme and giant machine pistols was fantastic! It's too bad the art was the only memorable thing about that series.
His death issue was one of the saddest things to come out of idw1 and I really hope I don’t ever see him die again in the comics because of that alone, well at least it’s heavily implied he got reincarnated so there’s that at least
Check out the Retrospective for Sideswipe's brother, Sunstreaker here - ua-cam.com/video/qxf9q8ZQK7M/v-deo.html
While Sunstreaker may have a giant ego, his brother, Sideswipe jumps into battle against the Decepticons. Today we take a look at the Autobot who doesn't break the rules, but bends them. A LOT!
have you cranked your crank cace (:
Sideswipe & Sunstreaker are like couple of street brawling mercenary. Badass.
Yeah, i.e. what ROTF Skids and mudflap should be
Once we get Legacy Breakdown and Dead End, I want to see the Legacy Stunticons repainted into Optimus, Jazz, Mirage, Sideswipe, and Windcharger as a "Masquerade 5-Pack".
That would be hilarious and awesome at the same time.
Agreed
That would be awesome!
@@matthewreynoso6904 hi dude how are you
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and learnt a lot too. Sideswipe was always my favourite of the two brothers and one of my favourite autobots ever.
Also it was nice to see you give a quick mention to Stan Chou, that guy has the patience of a saint.
Sideswipe is my all-time favorite G1 Autobot. I love him and his brother, Sunstreaker. Thanks for this, RP!
~Dex™.
Having a younger brother that I have to look out for, these two are some of my favorite characters and I find myself buying up and pairing them as much as I can.
the cool thing about sideswipe is that he is a good guy in mirror verse and shattered glass
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe have always been my favorites. I would love to see more adventures with just them two. I always hate seeing toy of Sideswipe done without Sunstreaker.
Not going to lie, Sideswipe was always one of my favorite autobots.( He was just so cool) Micheal Bell as the voice actor may had something to do with it. My top 5 autobot list is O Prime, Sideswipe, Hot Rod, Brawn, and of course my man Prowl.
Top 5 favorite Transformers ever-
1) Gen1 Sideswipe
2) Bayformers Sideswipe
3) Robots In Disguise Sideswipe
4) Shattered Glass Sideswipe
5) Kreon Sideswipe
With sideswipe g2 color schemes being one of my personal favourite things about g2,i'm glad we are seeing it so much in now days (like in animated and siege)
I think his G2 Submachine gun weapons can be 3D printed.
That black and neon green was dope
I love sideswipe and his brother sustreaker! I have many versions of them in my collection!
I absolutely love Sidewipe! He was one of the coolest cars and characters in Transformers.
Agreed
One of my favorite Transformers next to Hot Rod and Soundwave. Great video Rodimus!
Thanks! Glad my hard work paid off!
bro same
Nice, we get to see the brother of Sunstreaker, Sideswipe!
Sideswipe’s cooler!
@@matthewreynoso6904 Debatable.
I love em both, can’t love one too much without the other

Your welcome! Great work on the deleted scene! I'd love to see the battle sequence of Optimus Prime extended with Megatron's roundhouse kick and the Seekers fighting Kup, Arcee, Springer, and Hot Rod before the "I've got to help Prime!" I'm sure you noticed it looking over the story boards.
@@RodimusPrimal Thanks. Yes more to do. Am planning out what to focus on but those scenes are great and would love to work on them.
Sideswipe is one of my favourite Autobots of all time.

Great video!
If they are twin, I think Sideswipe is the older one. As he does fit a typical image of older sibling being strong but not without thought.
Sideswipe was my very first Transformer back in November of 1985.
I always loved sideswipe,he will be always one of my fan favourites,my favourite versions of sideswipe has to be : g1-armada-animated-bayverse-rid 2015(because of the design)-shattered glass-devstation game-wfc game 2011,i love how he was supposed to be sunstreaker-and sunstreaker was supposed to be him
Sideswipe is my favorite character in all of Transformers and I'm really happy that I got to learn even more about him in this vid. Keep up the great work Rodimus!
Awesome. Glad I was able to spread more knowledge about him overall. He had a lot of history.
I primarily played Sideswipe in Transformers: Devastation as he is one of my favourite Autobots from the Transformers franchise
i stan the Bayverse Sideswipe. i like the Armada version, aligned continuity, i never knew Sideswipe was in Animated till now. whilst i like Michael Bell as Sideswipe, the Bayverse actors are my preferred version. but i love Travis Willingham and the other voice actors who voiced him.
11:13 - I love that little nod to Triple H and Shawn Michaels of DX 😁
Sideswipe was the reason I fell in love with lamborghinis as a child when everyone else liked Ferraris. He is still one of my favourites and so is the contach
Michael Bell is such a great voice actor...it's amazing that Prowl and Sideswipe on this show and Quackerjack on Darkwing Duck were all voiced by him when they were such different personalities.
I love this channel. Brings back old memories.
G1 Sideswipe & Sunstreaker are 2 of my favorite Autobots!!!! You did a great job with both of their videos!
The Lamborghini twins are two of my favorite autobots from G1!
2:51 -That's my favorite childhood cartoon program, back in the mid-1980s, RodimusPrimal!😃
Sideswipe is one of my Favorite Characters in Transformers,especially the RID 2015 Incarnation.
I'm a week late watching this but wanted to say you did another great job.
I learned a few things from the Unicron Trilogy that I missed...and have no intention on revisiting.
G1 Sideswipe will always be my favorite he is the true Jet Judo. Awesome Retrospective on him.👍👍👍😁😁😁😁

Perfect, simply perfect. I had no idea he had so many toys after G1 with his name on it. And he stole the spotlight of his bro in so many iterations of transformers. G1 is still the best version, with the best actor! Awesome work Rodimus!
By far one of my favorite characters ever. Great video man,
My 2nd favorite Autobot! Well done Rodimus Primal!
Thank you. This was great. Sideswipe was my first Transformer, so I've always got a super soft spot for him. Love your content. Keep it up!!
I still have my green camaro sideswipe! When I was little I remember being confused how it was sideswipe lol
He’s always been my favourite in fact when i got Transformers devastation I don’t know at first sideswipe was added in but as soon i got to section were I played as him I instantly said I’m gonna main him throughout the game and to my word i did so glad they got his original VA back for it to.
As they did with Megatron, Soundwave, and Bumblebee! (I believe Grimlock as well!)

Yay I have been waiting for this video for like 2 years, :)))) thanks
I always enjoy these, just so awesome. Keep it coming.
My favorite Sideswipe version is the G1 sideswipe who can bend rules.
He and his brother Sunstreaker can continue battle against the decepticons.
I always feel like sideswipe's personality hasn't shown through in most appearances aside from G1 and Devastation.
Facts bro
I really love the banters and witty quips of Sideswipe in G1.
Totally. He's a great character when you really look deeper into him.
“Yeah next time, I’ll call a cab!” - Sideswipe!
I love how Michael Bell gave a tough, authoritative voice to Prowl while giving a looser, youthful, more fun-loving voice to Sideswipe. (Even if Mike mistakenly switched them from time to time!)
One of the greatest regrets of the original cartoon is that he and Sunstreaker didn't get a spotlight episode for themselves as Bots like Gears, Mirage, and Cliffjumper did.

Hasbro should trademark "Jet Judo" as a Sides 'n' Sunny creation! 😉
Sideswipe was my fav Autobot from the '84 line. Thanks for doing this!! I would love some sibling action in the upcoming series or movies
Here is an observation I made 2015 RID sideswipe actually goes from his g1 animated model to his original g1 model
“ I don’t break rules. I bend them, a lot.”
It wouldn't be Transformers G1 without the Brothers Sideswipe and Sunstreaker...
Just like it wouldn't be Transformers G1 without the closely related Blue/SilverStreak, Smokescreen, and Prowl.
Yeah--great overview. Sideswipe/Sunstreaker two of my favorites, for sure.
Yeah, G1 Sideswipe always kinda pissed me off, as the Sunstreaker toy CLEARLY has the built-in jetpack (the car's turbo intakes obviously meant to double as the jetpack intakes) and the pile driver hands via his accessories.
Anyway, thanks for posting!
Man, those toy arts were good, masterpieces, I'd like to display one of those, and nice that sideswipe survived the 86 movie by not showing up
8:54
I remember I once saw some fan art that merged G1 Sideswipe with this sideswipe. Wish I could find it cause it looked awesome.
Maybe try searching "g1 movie sideswipe".
Yeah! They had a cool red repaint of Bayverse Sideswipe
@@matthewreynoso6904
No no it wasn’t just a repaint, it was fan artwork that combined the two designs together.
I love his G2 look, I have the WFC Siege release.
Two of the coolest Autobots, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are awesome in G1. Great video. 👏👏👏
Heck yeah they are! Thanks!
@@RodimusPrimal YW
I love the part on the live movie where he would says clear a path
The Skywarp of the Autobots. Famous for looking cool
Just got the Kingdom Sideswipe in the mail today. There's nothing more satisfying than getting quite possibly THE definitive version of such a classic character for a great price
That's awesome!
@@RodimusPrimal I'm likely going to grab Sunstreaker too since they're such a dynamic duo
Sideswipe was my favorite character to play as in Devastation.
First version of sideswipe I was introduced was the bay verse movies but the version I love the most is the war and fall of cybertron version. He’s actually one of my favorite autobots.
I would argue that what you love about the first Aligned Sideswipe are the same things present about the G1 bot since the developers were trying to ensure they were there for the character. Of course with the absence of Sunstreaker.
@@RodimusPrimal oh I love the g1 version too both the design and the character
11:13 It's that a DX reference? Sunstreaker as "HBK" Shawn Michaels & Sideswipe as "The Game" Triple HHH. And down without that, with got some two words for ya?.......
CROWD: *SUCK IT!*
And take note, I need to add Sideswipe's siblings, Deep Cover, Clampdown & Tiger Track in the future Transformers series
That is indeed a DX reference and it fits so well! Totally agree on the others too.
Sideswipe Retrospective i don't break the rules, i bend them - a lot! good job now Mr Rodimus Primal keep it up working hard now as well and stay safe ❤️
You learn a lot about the amazing lore of Transformers from Rodimus Primal!
Good stuff Rod, had sideswipe as a kid
Sideswipe should appear in the next Transformers reboot movies
Sideswipe is my favorite TF. Thanks for this dedicated video about him.
Another great rundown of a classic!
Also did one of the backround signs in the last clip advertize Abba?
Sideswipe is one of my favorite Autobot I’m so happy you did a retrospective of it
I always wished we had gotten more "sibling stories" featuring Sideswipe and Sunstreaker in animated forms. We did get the "Autobot Brothers" in Robots In Disguise but it was never as much fun as the Primadonna that was Sunstreaker and the Spitfire Rookie nerd that was Sideswipe! They really had a fun dynamic!
I would watch a series focused on the two of them.
I think sideswipe is one of the best Autobot Brothers Like sunstreaker😀😀😀
1:34 -What a super speed Autobot soldier Sideswipe is, if you'd asked me truly personally, RodimusPrimal!
Finally got around to seeing this, great retrospective! Definitely enjoyed it!
Appreciate the time stamps so that I can skip over the Bay Formers section. I'm sure you did a great job.
Nice video and i hope you do a video on clampdown one day
G1 was all about vehicle modes and Sideswipe’s was one of the sweetest. The 84’ Lamborghini Countach was/is a thing of beauty. And his robot mode? Also one of, if not the best of the 84’ releases.
That's my favorite autobot of all time. Thanks Rodimus.
I really like these videos.
Is there a Triple Changer or Perceptor video on the horizon?
Maybe Powerglide?
Thanks. I've done a Triple Changer video that could be redone at some point, but Perceptor and Powerglide are definitely in the works.
Perfect timing i have the earthrise sunstreaker fiqure coming tuesday!
G1 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker all the way! 🔥
2:00 -Beautiful, RodimusPrimal!
My favourite version of Sideswipe is the one from G1, the Movies, the WFC/FOC Video Games, and the WFC Netflix show
I like how Ironhide is a mentor in the bay verse comics to sideswipe. Possibly sunstreaker as well.
Sideswipe I always thought was the cooler of the twins (him and Sunstreaker)!
Great video! Sideswipe is a personal favorite of mine, one of the best Bayverse characters in my opinion, but G1 will always be my fav.
8:34 I think somebody needs a hug
Energon cubes weren't in the original comic books Megatron and Optimus and the transformers were after fuel on earth lol energon became very popular on the TV shows first season
Thanks for another amazing video, rodimus! Keep up the good work!
I think ( Both ) Sideswipe and Sunstreaker deserve a spotlight episode ( 2 parter episode ) how they were before the war against the Decepticons.
Reading about his fate in the IDW books, and the bond he shared with Sunstreaker and then Arcee, lent a great deal of emotion to the series. It brought a somber tone to an otherwise violent story. Seeing him in the G2 books with that terrific color scheme and giant machine pistols was fantastic! It's too bad the art was the only memorable thing about that series.
His death issue was one of the saddest things to come out of idw1 and I really hope I don’t ever see him die again in the comics because of that alone, well at least it’s heavily implied he got reincarnated so there’s that at least
YES! Favourite autobot gets a retrospective!
The ORIGINAL Sideswipe will always be #1, nuff' said.
Sideswipe is actually my favorite autobot to play as, in Devastation
I love this guy
I can already see KITT as a black trans-am model of Sideswipe
