Title:
Sideways
Description:
Sideways (Deluxe-Class, 2005)
Accessories: Left & right wing-blades, Planet X Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: dj51
Known designers: Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy)
One of the very few "Planet X” -themed toys in Cybertron, this version of Sideways transforms into a black and orange alien spacefighter. The center-back of his jet mode can rise up like a gun turret; plugging a Cyber Key into the back end of the assembly deploys two pairs of spring-loaded blade, plus covers the Autobot symbol in the top with a Decepticon badge. This assembly becomes a non-removable left-arm-mounted "shield” in robot mode. His wings can also detach from his ankles and be used as blades, with both pegging into his hands, either with one blade in each hand, or with both blades pegging into the top and bottom of a single hand, forming a double-bladed weapon.
This toy was first released in Takara’s Galaxy Force line as the different character Noisemaze, featuring silver-chromed details on the wings. The Later Hasbro Cybertron "Sideways” replaced the chrome with silver paint, dropped some of the silver details on his key jack, and dropped some of the bronze paint on his "collar”. The Hasbro version has also been slightly retooled, rounding off his robot-mode head-horns, presumably for safety reasons. And of course, Sideways’s Cyber Key has a Cyber Key Code stamped on the back the Takara version lacks.
This mold was also used to make the Japanese DVD-exclusive Noisemaze Mass Production Type Version and Universe Ratbat. It was retooled to make BotCon 2009’s Timelines Scourge and Sweeps Two, Six, and Seven (the Sweeps were later repurposed as Shattered Glass Scourge).
