    I'm glad he got some lines and screentime. Everytime i saw him on screen i was stoked. No other words then the boss could describe his awesomeness.

    Was it him or Ironhide that said the thing about the Mexican Standoff?

    I love you Sideswipe. :D

    It was great Sideswipe got more screen time and lines in DOTM. It was something he seriously lacked in ROTF.

    Movie Sideswipe is awesome. If he's in Prime he needs to have wheels for feet. He's just Boss. (So is Dino)

    Glad my boy got some love. I won't be able to see him till Saturday but this is good to hear! Been a good 2 year run for Sides, with his inclusion in WFC, DOTM and toys he's been getting.

    Loved almost everything about Sideswipe in the movieverse. The standoff in DotM was great.

    What about him? He got about as much screen time as he did in ROTF.

    He was awesome! My rating for him has gone from 8 to a perfect 10! He had some great lines too. "looks like we got a mexican standoff here fellas" and "leave now if you still want your dignity" were fantastic!

    "Looks like we've got ourselves a Mexican standoff."

    "Drop your weapons!"
    "And we'll let you leave with your dignity."

    Sideswipe is a BAMF :D

    Oh thanks for that recall! I could just barely remember what he said during that Mexican standoff.

    Sideswipe is the king of one liners! Give him a crown!

    I loved Sideswipe even more in this one. He had some great lines! I also liked the close-up of his face during that scene.

    Yes! Another someone who thought that close up was just gorgeous and very well detailed, especially when he was delivering his lines. Haha!

    He is awesome, but severely underused. Why won't these film makers use some of these bad ass robots other than Optimus is mind boggling. They can't say they don't have the budget, because they did just fine in the first one, at half the cost!

    Bay should really have added Sunstreaker as Sideswipe's twin instead of creating Skidz and Mudflapz. That would have been 100x better in a lot of peoples' books.

    I know. This is what happens when you let the pitbull off of the leash I guess. Well, we'll watch this get run into the ground, and then maybe somebody over at Paramount will get some common sense kicked back into them, they reboot, and what they fucked up on, they can fix in a decade. Thank goodness for fanfictions to fill in those voids in between.

    Who knows, maybe Sideswipe and Sunstreaker will make it in the next movie, if enough of the production crew pays attention. People screamed about Optimus's trailer, and they got it! They didn't like Optimus getting beat up in the first Transformers, now he's one of the baddest mofo's in cinema history. Let's first bombard Hasbro with petitions. The thought of adding a new toy via Sunstreaker should be enticing enough for the execs over there to convince Paramount to spice things up for Transformers 4.
