First Look At Transformer Sideways

With a new Transformers movie there comes new characters. I’m not sure why Michael Bay would choose to ignore the catalogs of existing classic Transformer characters to being in brand new or completely obscure ones… but whatever… it’s his movie.

Along those lines Bay has released an image of a new Transformer called “Sideways”… a gigantic robotic war machine capable of massive destructive power… not to be confused with the Paul Giamatti movie about an aging man who loves wine… but I can see how you might get those two mixed up.

Our friends over at Screen Rant points out something that caught my attention too about this picture: “He sure looks similar to Barricade, the Decepticon police car from the first film who by a blatant plot hole disappeared during one scene never to return in the movie again. There are rumors that say this is simply that character in the form of a different vehicle but there’s nothing confirmed on that front.

Meh… I dig the look.

  1. Eh, cool but not “the first look” at this character. There’s been other images available of Sideways for a few months. Although, this is a new image.

    1. Yup, he’s a Decepticon alright. Also for telling them apart visually, look at the faces/heads. The movie versions of the Despticons are very alien and evil looking, insect like.

      It’s cool that they made the Decepticon heads so different then Autobot’s, because the original series started this concept and continued on threw all the Transformer cartoon shows and comic books over the years.

    2. Yes because god forbid you should be able to tell the characters apart just by lookin at them. Much more fun if you have to carefully scrutinize the minute details to figure out who’s who.

  2. I think it be foolish to expect consistenty, michael bay doesn’t know the meaning of the word. But that’s not the reason we’re going to see it anyway it’s because of the…

    BAYSPLOSIONS!

    1. Consistenty? WTF is that? Or are you trying to say “consistency”???

      LOL… I love when people try to insinuate someone more successful is short in one aspect or another, only to boggle their own quip. Too funny.

  3. Yeah he looks alright pretty normal by TF standards, i’m not a great lover of the all silver look it would be nice to see some colour on him just to break it up a bit. His face does look kinda like Barricades so it could be him.

    That plot hole is one of the things that does bug me about Transformers considering Barricades the main decepticon for the first half the film he probably has more screen time than the rest of the cons lol only do disappear during the final battle. Maybe Bay will address this in TF2 but i’m not going to be hopeful.
