One of the most revered comic book writers in Transformers history, Simon Furman has updated his blog with a special look at the upcoming "Tales of the Fallen" Issue #2. Here is an excerpt.

Spinning out of, though chronologically set before, the blockbuster movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Tales of the Fallen spotlights movie characters and delves a little deeper into what makes them tick. My first contribution to the series comes in the shape of Sideswipe, an Autobot in allegiance if not exactly ethos. Far from coming to Earth to answer Optimus Prime’s summons and protect humankind, Sideswipe is driven by a blinding quest for vengeance and an utter disregard for the organic life he finds teeming on the planet.

Tales of the Fallen #2 will be available tomorrow September 9th in the US and September 10th in the UK.

I think he's pretty much Autobot's version of Movie Wreckage.

Just as DECEPTICON BRAWL is the hot-blooded, indiscriminate destroyer among the DECEPTICONS, WRECKAGE is the stone-cold fighter. Though he is as capable as any DECEPTICON of wholesale destruction, he carries twin blades for a reason. That is, he likes to be up close to his target. He lives to hear the shriek of metal on metal as his swords tear through AUTOBOT armor, and the sparking sizzle of shorting electronics as wires and conduits are severed.

And yeah, the BW DepthCharge thing fits perfectly too.
