Sideswipe's Tall Tales

Secret Spy Sideswipe

Sideswipe, Bee, Optimus, Arcee and Ratchet were watching a Spy movie. Sideswipe loved all the action and moves. "You know, Bee, I was a Secret Spy bot once." He said. "What? Pfft. No way." Bee scoffed.  "Oh, yes way." Said Sideswipe. "Are you being serious?" Arcee asked, eager to find out. "Yep. First mission was a cinch." Sideswipe replied, a bit of pride sneaking out of his voice. Bee just rolled his optics. "Okay, Secret Spy Sideswipe. Prove it." Bee said, sarcastically. "Alright then, I will." Sideswipe said and his friends gathered around him to listen to his tale.

Sometime in the past

Sideswipe, painted all black, was training for his first mission. His team Sargent, Barricade, was impressed by his stealthy sneak attacks and disguise techniques. "Wow! Sideswipe, you are definitely gonna do us proud on this mission. Now go out there and find out what those Seekers are up to." Barricade instructed. "Yes, sir!" Sideswipe saluted and transformed and he drove off.

At the docks, Seekers led by Thundercracker were loading Energon on a ship and had a bot who had tried to stop them before captive. The bot was Sunstreaker, Sideswipe's twin brother. "You won't get away with this!" He barked at Thundercracker. The lead Seeker let out a sinister snicker and turned to him. "Not to worry, Sunstreaker. You're brother, Sideswipe, will be along to help you soon and when he does..." Thundercracker snapped his digits and a cage was lowered over a protoform to demonstrate the capture of Sideswipe. Sunstreaker gulped. Sideswipe watched the Seekers from a high vantage point. "Hang in there, Sunny. I'm coming for ya." He whispered and activated his disguise device, which made him look like a femme. He approached the Seekers and Sideswipe walked up to Thundercracker. "Hi, I'm Starfire. I'm here to make sure that bot stays put." He told him. "Good. And whatever you do, do not let your guard down." Thundercracker instructed and he left. Sideswipe turned to his twin. "Don't worry. I'm gonna get you out." He said and began untying the ropes. Skywarp turned. He recognized that voice. "It's him. Now!" He called. The cage was dropped and Sideswipe was captured. He winked at Arcee and Airachnid and they giggled.

Cut to Present

"Wow! What did you do?!" Bee asked. "You remember, for Primus' sake. You were there too." Sideswipe said.

Back to past

The Seekers tied Sideswipe up. Just then, Bee leaped in out of nowhere. "It's about time I finally caught you, Thundercracker." He said. "Oh, no. Bumblebee." Thundercracker said. Bee kicked and punched every Seeker in his path. He eventually knocked out Thundercracker and freed Sideswipe and his twin. After the Seekers were dealt with, Sideswipe thanked Bee for his help. "Aw, it was nothing." He said. The three friends laughed as they headed back to HQ.

Back to present

"I seriously did all that?" Bee said, surprised. "Yeah. I saw you do it." Said Sideswipe. "Good tale, Sides!" Sunstreaker said, hugging his twin. Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus smiled. Suddenly, Sideswipe received a call from Barricade over the COMM Link. "Sideswipe, we have another mission for you and Sunstreaker. Meet me at HQ in five hours. Out." He said. "Sorry, gotta go. Come on, Sunny." Sideswipe said and the twins leaped out of the window and transformed.
