From Jaf:
"I dont' break the rules, I bend them - a lot."
Although nearly as capable as his twin brother Sunstreaker in the combat arts, Sideswipe is far less cold blooded. He thoroughly relishes engaging an opponent in a fight to the finish, and will use any dirty underhanded tactic he can think of to come out on top. Back on Cybertron this conduct extended itself to the rest of his lifestyle: getting what he can out of life, enjoying it to the fullest, and cheating to get the rest. His exile to Earth hasn't changed his behavior, just his cause - instead of doing everything for himself, he does it for the sake of freedom for all. Personal safety takes a backseat to his reckless, but brave actions.
Since I butchered my Sideswipe to make Mirage, I decided to go a bit more G1 with the robot chest and "Lambor" vehicle mode. He now has Dead End's chest, arms, and roof. I repainted the entire car and added some decals for effect.
