Profile: With his crew, Sidetrack worked upon laying foundation work for some of the greatest spires of Cybtertron. During the Decepticon Uprising, Sidetrack sided with the Decepticons. The idea of only living for a singular purpose, that his existence will be reduced to a single action repeated eternally until the spark in his chest fades left him feeling trapped, and the chance for freedom from this eternal cycle was all he could hope for.

However over time the death toll raised, the destruction incalculable, and the loss of his build team became too much. The freedom seemed to be gained, but the war continued. Each side pushing an ideology that seemed so similar and then growing out of control. Decepticons becoming so much more the tyrants they fought against, and the Autobots seeming to fight against that tyranny but forgetting much like the Decepticons have why such conflicts became. Now it was revenge, perpetual loss, and no aims that could possibly justify the fields of dead that lay at all of their feet.

The switching of allegiance was tough. The sad truth is the horrors that Sidetrack was involved in can never be erased, and his many crimes is something that weighs heavily upon his spark, the only hope is that by strengthening the Autobots with his own hand, he may just serve as the example his people need. The destruction has finished it's work, it was time to build anew, and for that to happen, this horrible conflict must come to an end...


Abilities: Sidetrack has the ability of flight in his robot mode which is a remnant of his Decepticon Loyalties. In vehicle form he possesses a drill head that rotates 5000 rpm and is capable of boring through rock or steel in a surgical manner. Sidetrack is painfully slow in his alt mode, lucky to make it up to 40 MpH. In robot form, he carries a plasma pistol for ranged combat and his drill takes the place of his left hand and can be used as a weapon in close quarters combat.

Weakness: Often haunted with notion of causing more death and destruction, Sidetrack finds it difficult to defend himself, making it a struggle in combat to even defend himself. What's more, his slow speed makes it difficult to run from conflict, forcing him in a position to once again engage in the nightmare he is trying to get out of.
