About the series
In 2008, IDW's Transformers Spotlight series turned its lens on the reckless, hot-headed Autobot Sideswipe, with writer Simon Furman and artist E. J. Su crafting a single-issue character study. This one-shot pits the impulsive warrior against a deadly Decepticon ambush, forcing him to confront the consequences of his lone-wolf tactics. It's a compact, action-driven spotlight that deepens the larger IDW Transformers mythos by exploring the cost of unchecked aggression.
