Sideswipe (Lambor in the Japanese version) isn't the sociopath his brother Sunstreaker is, but he's just as capable in a fight. What sets him apart is his genuine love of combat itself—he's a thrill-seeker who lives for the test of going up against worthy opponents. There's something almost athletic about how he approaches battle, like he's competing in the ultimate sport.
The downside is his recklessness. Sideswipe makes impulsive calls that can get him hurt, and he's not above bending the rules if it means winning. When the stakes are high, his philosophy is simple: nothing's off-limits. That impulsive streak has stuck with him over the years, but his motivations have shifted. He went from chasing personal glory to actually fighting to protect freedom and keep innocent people safe.
