Sideways (Earth-7045)

Sideways is the consummate con-artist. He is misleading and deceitful in everything he does, portraying himself as the ninja-like warrior or the aloof drifter. As for where he comes from is something neither side knows as he entered the war some time after the disappearance of the Ark and Nemesis. One thing is certain though, he lives for the look of shock and betrayal on his Autobot and Decepticons' faces when they realize he's played them for fools. Sideways prefers to shroud his face behind a mask or visor or (as of the present day) one of his Mini-Cons so as to keep himself mysterious and anonymous.

Said Mini-Cons are Rook (for the Autobots) & Crosswise (for the Decepticons). Both have also been upgraded to combine into Mirror ala Slamdance & Squawkbox.

Weaknesses

 * Sideways's eagerness to manipulate others instead of taking direct action can hinder his plans.

Equipment

 * Holomatter Projector: holomatter is a solid-light projection technology, used by Transformers operating on alien worlds. Holomatter projectors can create projected facsimiles of native species which are too small or fleshy for Transformers to mimic with their mechanical altmodes. The avatar isn't just a friendly image to fool human beings; it's also the Transformer equivalent of a remotely operated vehicle, allowing Transformers to go places and perform actions that would otherwise be prevented by their size and the need to camouflage their true identities. Having an avatar in a location is like the Transformer being there himself. An avatar can function up to at least 400 miles away from the controlling Transformer, even when separated by solid walls.

Transportation

 * Motorcycle alternate mode
 * GroundBridge: A scaled-down iteration of space bridge technology, a GroundBridge allows transport to coordinates on a single planet, or even (with great difficulty) into the planet's orbit. Considerably easier to maintain and less costly in energon to operate, it is the primary means of coordinating Transformer forces on planets.

Weapons

 * Arm-mounted missile launchers/guns


 * Neutron assault rifle
