If we matched up transformers from across the different series and canons and had them fight in a 1v1 death match you choose two transformers autobot or decepticon then we discuss who we think would win.
I would say Drift. He can transform into a copter, and he doesn't have wheels for feet so jumping around is easier for him.
All though that is true Sideswipe doesn't let his wheels for feet trip him up and it helps him with mobility as you see in DOTM as he whips around corners and you can see the extent of his power against Sideways at the beginning of ROTF
I don't know if I could call this one, it's got to be super close. They are both hyper-competent fast and agile warriors. Drift might have a bit more control of his swords that Sideswipe but he also has a higher chance of being disarmed. Their skills appear so close I think it would likely depend on the environmental conditions and if there any rules.
You have a good point with drift having a chance to be disarmed but also remember Sideswipe can shoot his swords like he did in ROTF to cut Sideways in half.
That's a good point, Also, there is a gap between the halves of Sideswipe's blades, as pictured below. It looks like they would be wide enough so that Sideswipe could use them to trap and control Drift's swords.
well dont go at it like that how bout just for the fight Drift will use violence in the fight both go all out.
