Grimlock being a traitor would probably have made him feel even more alone and miserable than he already was.

But yeah, Grimlock is kiddish, so Sideswipe getting attached to him makes sense. Plus, Grimlock is the only bot on the team that doesn't try to correct or, in Sideswipe's mind, control him about his actions.

Another factor of Sideswipes hidden clingy side is that he usually fights with Strongarm for pretty much anything and seems like he dislikes her, but in the episode he gets split in two, his softer side expresses a few times via dialogue and actions that he actually likes her a lot and doesn't like when they fight one another. He wants to be get along and get to know Strongarm but his delinquent side is restricting any progress.

I got mad at the treatment for being clingy. They’re his friends, they should notice. Kids will see traumatic responses brushed off until they admit their vulnerability. It’s like *an episode of struggles* “I’m scared of being left behind!” “We won’t leave you behind!” *end* when saying something clingy IS admitting vulnerability to sideswipe. They could just talk to him! Like, “Hey. Sticking together is what teams do, it’s a given. Why do you feel more nervous?” BAM! EASY! It would even teach kids to ask how others are doing!

If only they gave him character development throughout the series, the potentials are there, sad they didn’t do anything meaningful with it

The problem was, they never developed him or any of the characters in a major permanent way. I would’ve loved an episode where his teammates have to go inside his brain module to try to help him recover from something, but discover his past & the reasons he’s both very clingy & quick to think he’s replaceable. Also, Sideswipe’s behavior reminds me of Silver or Gladion from Pokémon.

As someone who has a fear of being abandoned I can relate to sideswipe and his story sounds really sad I feel so sorry for him

Honestly, despite all the fights between Sideswipe and Strongarm being annoying and they don't seem to be learning better throughout the show, I actually also like the detailed insecurities of Sideswipe with abandonment throughout the show, really makes him feel like an actual character and not just some walking joke for cheap laughs or anything. Especially in "Exiles" I felt his fear when he got left behind in the battlefield, I would absolutely have freaked out if that was me and done the same thing as him, running around in panic and just hiding and crying for help, hoping to be heard. I don't have any traumas like he has, but still having anxiety to some degree, I can relate well to that side of him. Also I think it's fine to call young Cybertronians teenagers, at least if the bots saying it are familiar with the Earth term, like Bumblebee is. Other than that, I think Cybertronians do sometimes refer to young bots as kids, even before going to/learning about Earth? "Kid" could be a universal term just referring to young minds and not necessarily just the physical youth, whereas "teenager" is more of an Earth term for the transition between childhood and adulthood. Sometimes even adults can be called "kid" by other, older adults, which often is an insult, whether intentional or unintentional. I wonder if any new bots from before the war started - like mid caste and especially high caste (not low caste coz those were slaves) - were adopted by older bots to learn how the world worked? Or were new bots perhaps just thrown into work immediately, including high caste work like military, science, art, school and stuff without anyone to guide them through? Coz I imagine bots with mental disorders like autism, ADHD, anxiety or such, even if "born" into the high caste like Starscream (who I definitely think has something like that, if not all three), would have trouble settling in and doing well without a mentor to guide them.

We really need a good TF show that delves deep into the characters' backstories, personalities, worldbuilding and lore, and also make some good character development and redemption for those who were bad guys but want to/get encouraged to do better. Like, battle scenes are cool and all, but they don't have to take up the majority of the shows, there's gotta be room for a good story and well-written characters, and an interesting world they live in. This is, of course, hard to do with cartoons because of run time and sometimes a limit on how many episodes can be released, idk, for some reason Animated's season 4 was cancelled even though everyone wanted to see it. It's easier to delve deep into everything when it comes to comics, coz there ain't a limit to how many issues a continuity/series has to have, and though there may be a limit on pages, it can always say "To Be Continued" and then take as much time as it needs to be finished, polished and enjoyable to the readers. At least, that's my interpretation of it all.

YES! thank you. i've always found RiD15 Sidewipe to actually be really interesting, and a lot of people just don't seem to see it (even saw someone say he "can go choke", like :/ ? way to misunderstand him). the way they write his character with his abandonment issues and other characteristics is subtle and i feel he is one of the few competently written characters in RiD15.

My god a redeemable feature for the show, maybe I might rewatch

Great analysis! This show and it's characters had so much potential but it was wasted. Such a shame... :( Still a major part of my childhood though.

UUUGGHHH There was so much potential!! Also, we appreciate your sacrifice - watching all of RID15 to get those references!

An excellent case study. Thank you for this.

When episode 62 came out, I kept replaying Sideswipe's breakdown so many times. I found it very intriguing and important that they covered something like this, although a bit sad they didn't expand on it in the next episode, but at the same time, I think they wrapped it up nicely. Sideswipe was the only factor why I kept watching this show. I like your comparison to IDW2, and I think your theory is really well put together. 💕

I’m guessing sideswipe is idk 6 years old as and Bumblebee million years old

Sideswpies story is emotional and it kinda reminded it of myself when I was way younger, when ever my family would get in the car without me it made me feel they would leave me. Then I became a loner later in my life. Acting quiet and cool but now I'm way different. Now I'm more cautious but still quiet and shy. But still having trust issues. This story is emotional but I still really like sideswipe. He might as well be one of my favs.

The biggest reason I always disliked Sideswipe in this show is exactly this. Sideswipe in the comics as a kid was a badass, reliable, always ready for a fight and to support his fellow autobots. Even IDW Sideswipe was coolheaded and strong, but this isn't him. It's some other bot with his name, marketed as Sideswipe. But unlike many characters in shows and such that don't feel like the original, this Sideswipe feels especially wrong. I feel the same for the black and green Grimlock (especially since in comics, Grimlock had a vehicle mode before a dinomode, it's stupid he just CAN'T get a new one and has to ride on the back of a trailer. His stupidity also feels forced but that I can look past to some extent) Not only that but his basic design was also a turn off for me. He was essentially the only design for this show I genuinely disliked. The hot red color, the red symbol on his chest that's almost unnoticeable with his base color, his face (everyone's faces look weird in this show, same for Prime to me but somehow Prime's artstyle made it less noticable), and his Hair?? Why did he have hair? Nobody else in this show or Prime had a head sculpt like that, just him. I hated it. I loved the level of humanity and such that Prime gave the cybertronian characters, and the lore that seperated humans and cybertronians proper but still had similarities to relate to them. Like, sure, there's such thing as a "young" bot, but the most we see is early Bumblebee's stubbornness and Smokescreen's recklessness and disregard of serious aspects like loss and such since he has only just then joined the war versus everyone else who've been fighting for years. But Sideswipe in this show was always *too human* to me, too young, y'know? I genuinely hate how Sideswipe is more relatable as a kid stand-in than the actual human child in the show, especially since he's supposed to be a dilenquant teenager. I don't hate RID, but there are so many parts that just feel too odd to enjoy for me.

His backstory with shadowraker and his students are kinda cool. Just an idea

since the heavy casualties on Cybertron, i wouldn’t be surprised if the OG Sideswipe died and was put in a new body with a resurrected spark. so instead of being a hardened vet, he’s like a kid again, and has a whole legacy to live up to with the survivors of the war all expecting him to be great and passing him on when he fails to do what they want. so we have a rogue childlike Sideswipe, overshadowed by his original counterpart, abandoned by any and all mentors simply because he isn’t the pilot of The Ark anymore.

i like your theory’s on RID

1:01 i doubt, at least in Aligned Continuity, they have protoforms, and Rescue Bots Academy seems to imply there can be Cynertronian children, as Hot Shot and the only Cybertronians called "kids" are the small one

I don't know if its just me or does this make it more perfect to add Smokescreen? As Smokescreen was a cocky bot himself and acted as if he was better than everyone else, he can relate to Swideswipe and teach him to be better. As Smokescreen had grown as a bot in Team Prime. I feel this would've given his character more development by guiding Sideswipe into making him into a better bot and Smokescreen would be a role model to him. Though if they did, I just hoped they would keep a similar or mostly same personality as he had in TFP and not make the character completely out of character.

I feel stupid for never noticing this...

Hell ya! Finally found someone talking abt this!!

I have seen fan theories where this Sideswipe is K.O.'s kid, or at least had Con parents, and moving around, and eventually getting separated, or left behind was just an accident, and/or part of staying ahead of the Bots. Or as another of EK video's suggest, he may have been forcibly separated and stuck in a type of foster care system, but no one wanted a Con kid, so they constantly were looking for excuses to toss him to the next home, and eventually, like too many in our version of Foster Care, he just stopped going to the next home and began running the streets. Might explain why he's not to serious around Cons.

Ayyyy never noticed this! Great analysis! I just thought he was a delinquent, I wish they explored his past more now.

To kind of sum up the video: You know when you get lost at the mall that one time and you have past trauma of that, yeah that’s kind of like part of sideswipes personality

Here's a theory what if Arcee was one of sideswipe's caretakers and one day she found out that zombie Arachnid was on one of the moons and died and since she never returned sideswipe thinks she just abandoned him. (we know most of the other prime autobots survive until this show but we don't know anything about arcee's fate)

Gosh, it's been a while since I watched this show.

That didn't explain how the Recruits from Rescue Bots Academy are a lot smaller than Their teachers

Sideswipe, a name commonly associated with a bot with a twin, was supposed to be called Fastlane, a name also associated with a bot with a twin. Where is Sideswipe's sibling, I wonder? Well, if there's no Sunstreaker here, I doubt there'd be a Cloudraker if they kept his old name.

And in season 1 episode 12 drift was able to tell that sideswipe was young as he called him a “ juvenile delinquent” meaning sides was still young. And not a fully grown Autobot but still a young sparkling. So you are probably correct.

Wait his Cybertronian mode is a hover car… *how tf is he making wheelmarks?*

I don't think they neccesarily have to scan earth vehicles I doubt all Cybertronians have been to earth at least once so they found other waves

I always felt that RiD Sideswipe needed hugs or slaps at various points. A bit like TF:P Megatron, but for wholly different reasons.

sometimes i feel sorry for Wheeljack in armada, for being abandoned by his friend Hotshot but after i saw this, maybe Sideswipe fear is being abandoned bc he knew wheeljack story.

Wished they focused more on stuff like this. Instead of dissing on Optimus or having Bee be a rude bot. Would be nice to see Bee try and understand Sideswipe and comfort and try to be a good role model for him.

blurr wasnt from rescuebots academy, he was from rescuebots, he was never in academy other than a message he had left seen in the background of an episode

Just a kid looking for a home
