## Biography

### Early life

Sideswipe was born on Cybertron before the Cube was lost. He left his homeworld, when Optimus Prime commanded the Autobots to leave Cybertron.

### Arriving on Minecraftia

After the Battle of Mission City, Optimus Prime recorded the events that happend on Minecraftia in 2014 and sended the message into space to any surviving Autobots. Sideswipe received the message along with Jolt, Skids and Mudflap and travelled to the planet where he joined the Autobot-human alliance, called NEST.

### Battling in Shanghai

In 2016, NEST detected energon readings in Shanghai and NEST team A went there along with Sideswipe, Subwoofer, Jolt, Skids, Mudflap, Ironhide, Robert Epps and Michael. Once there, Subwoofer went to evacuate the city while Sideswipe and the others stayed with NEST. The group followed the energon detector which lead them to a small ally. Michael ordered the Autobots to stay behing in case if it was nothing, although this proved to be fatal for the

human as he was killed by Decepticon Protoforms when they encountered them. When NEST and the Autobots (excluding Optimus, Ratchet and Jolt who were chasing Starscream at the time) started talking what to do, Sideswipe commented that they could use some backup would be nice as they were suppressing them with heavy fire. Subwoofer who had completed evacuations arrived back to help them and at the time, sevral Protoforoms came out of the allyway and attacked the group. One of the Protoforms attacked Sideswipe and Subwoofer who noticed that asked him if he needs help, although he only replied that Skids and Mudflap were helping him out. Sideswpie then killed the Protoform, commenting that he's good. When Subwoofer went into the ally, Sideswipe contacted him, saying that he should pull back if he

needs to as they'we got him covered. Subwoofer howevhere defeated the Protoforms and found out that the Decepticon second-in-command Sideways lead them while stealing the energon. He also gave them the warning that The Fallen shall rise again. Sideswipe then travelled back into Waschington D.C. to the base where he and Ironhide decided to go target practicing into the desert. He invited Subwoofer to join, but the Autobot claimed that he needed to be with optimus when Seymour Simmons arrives, although he did say that he will join them afterwards. Sideswipe's and the other newcomers' presence was later questioned by Simmons, as their arrival wasn't known by the goverment.

### "Saving" Subwoofer

After Ravage stole the last fragment of the cube, Optimus told Subwoofer to bring Sam to him in order to talk

with the boy. After doing so, Subwoofer drove Sam back to his college where he was attacked by sevral Protoforms and Breakdown who knocked him unconcious. A distress signal was sent to NEST upon that, so Skids and the rest of the Autobots went to rescue Subwoofer. By the time they arrive to the stadium where he was kept howevhere, the Autobot already killed is opponents as Breakdown didn't kill him. Do to that the Autobots began to suspect that the Decepticons wanted them distracted. This was true, as in the meantime Starscream and the Constructicons resurrected Megatron.

### Finding Megatron

After Megatron's resurrection, Sideswipe and the rest of the Autobots returned to their base. There they along with Simmons, Lennox and Morshower disccused the situation, with Ironhide saying that whatever was going on they will blast it and that he and Sideswipe had loaded weapons.The group eventualy decided that they will

wait until Ratchet's and Jolt's scans were finished and then go hunt down and kill Megatron. Optimus then had a conversation with Subwoofer which ended with Sub leaving the Autobots. Sub later picked up Mikaela and Sam but they got captured by Grindor who brought them to Megatron and Starscream although before they could do anythin the group got saved by Optimus. Prime was later killed by Megatron, allowing the Decepticons to launch a full-scale invasion on Minecraftia.

Sideswipe was later mentioned by Subwoofer when he told Ironhide to get him, Ratchet and NEST soldiers in order to make a plan for a counter attack.

### Resurrecting Optimus

After Bumblebee, Subwoofer, Skids, Mudflap, Jolt, Simmons, Sam, Mikaela and Jetfire found the matrix of leadership, the only thing that could resurrect Prime, in Cairo, they contacted Ironhide who took all members of his group, including Sideswipe, to a nearby city with Optimus' body. Once the group with the matrix got there upon defeating the Constructicons and an army of protoforms with the losses of the twins, they greated the reinforcements with Subwoofer telling Sideswipe that it was nice to see him. At Prime's body, Jetfire told the group to open the matrix and insert it into Prime's body, upon which Ratchet jumped in and said that this won't be enough because Optimus was gone for too long and his parts were too weak to keep him alive, after which Jetfire said that he should use his parts because they were forged by the original Primes themselves. Ratchet warned him that this would be fatal, though Jetfire accepted his demise. He then said that even if they did so, it would be a day long surgery which was far too long, upon which Jolt stepped in and said that he could electrify and speed up the process. Ratchet said that the energon required to do this would cost him his spark, only for Jolt to say that this didn' matter because Prime did the same for all of them and that his brothers' deaths in the desert would be for nothing if he wouldn't live again. Seeing that both Jetfire and Jolt made up their minds, Ratchet set up sevral pipes between the former and Prime upon which he told Jolt to electrify them. Subwoofer then placed the matrix of leadership into Prime's body, with the process speeding up, dissasembling and killing Jetfire with some of his parts going to Optimus while the left-overs were given to Subwoofer. Jolt died as a result of energy loss too, but Prime himself stoop up once again.
