Sidelock is one of the Decepticon’s most elite scientists, second only to Shockwave. He also specialises as a medical practitioner, having been a skilled doctor prior to the war for Cybertron.
The manner of science that Sidelock is most experienced in is that of both biological and chemical weapons engineering. He is known to concoct a myriad of dangerous weapons, some that would see the end to an entire world’s worth of life. He also specialises in developing weaponry to directly target Cybertronians and other Transformers.
He is known to often utilise live subjects for his experimentations and testing.
Sidelock is a threat in combat, so do not be fooled by his quiet and studious nature. He is a deadly foe, with unorthodox weaponry in his personal armaments, along with a wide array of engineered weapons tailored to the majority of opponents he faces. He is deadly in melee, and can hold his own against bots of almost all sizes.
