More Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy biographies have been posted, thanks to tfctoys of TFW.

Biographies for deluxe toy characters Breakaway, Rampage, Sideswipe, and Sideways, have been posted as well as the biographies for the Fast Action Battler versions of Long Haul and Sideways.

The two biographies for Sideways shed some light on what we should expect from the character in the film, while also introducing an Autobot flyer.

I hope Sideways is the Unicron Trilogy character. That'd be a nice little twist.

Well, it's starting to look like Sideways really isn't Barricade.

I like Long Haul's bio, at least it is consistent with his g1 character

[Archanubis]

Sideways sound like either a coward or a ninja. Long Haul's bio is... oddly familiar.

As much as I loved Armada sideways's character, I'm glad it's not that. That wouldn't fit in a "realistic" live action movie, and it would make the movie too confusing, there'd be too much happening for the general audience to comprehend, with the Fallen being present and all.

This should also put an end to the argument over if he's Barricade or not...

But what happened to Barricade then??? Maybe he dies n the beginning or something.

[Megatron Wolf]

So instead of bringing back Barricade they decided to make him the herald of Unicron. Thats just great. Im still calling him Barricade. Guess we'll never find out what happened to him. Yeah he died in the comic but that was the comic not the movie.

SIDEWAYS ISN'T A DECEPTICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, Barricade is in the ROTF movie. In the saem body he had in the first one.

These bios portray Sideways as a different character who is either very stealthy or cowardly. Neither of which describe Barricade very much.

I'm satisfied with the bios and stats for sideswipe and breakaway. Long Haul and Rampage are fine...big, dumb machines.

Sideways...eh...well see. We already have wheelie, isnt one cowardly decepticon enough?

[T-Macksimus]

Wow, let's see if I can get under everyones skin in just one post...

Sideways never = Barricade. Whoever started that theory should be flogged. There are 40 some bots in TF2 and they are not letting us know ALL of them in advance.

Anything Unicron/trilogy related should not be uttered in close proximity to Moviverse. You'll jinx the whole thing 'cause one of the writers might actually get the idea to cross the two lines and a huge crapfest it will become.

Common sense does not equate cowardice. Sideways is no more a coward than my closest friends, all of whom would stand well behind me if the sh** ever hit the fan. They can hold there own if they have to but I'm the one capable of doing the most damage the fastest against greater numbers and can take damage longer so logic would dictate that I be in the forefront. It's about utilizing individual talents the best.

Who the heck was responsible for Breakaways design and stats? Sure, kids will probably find him cute or neat, part of my inner kid does too, but he looks like someone kicked him square in the afterburner.
Also, while I admire the amazing speed aspect, the thought of being on a battlefield and knowing that the guy responsible for the high speed bombing runs only has a skill of 4...that scares the hell outta me.

If I irritated anyone, it's nothing personal. I was nice to my former in-laws this last weekend so I have to maintain cosmic balance.
If my ex mother-in-law becomes too happy and I can't offset it, there will be a great disturbance in the Force!
