“ | A plaque on the wall and golf on Wednesdays? Nah! Where the battle is thickest is where you'll find me! | ” |
Sgt. SIDESWIPE always knew he'd follow a medical profession, but the world of offices and clinics didn't appeal to him. He'd played soldier as a kid and had always been the one sprinting through a hail of imaginary bullets to help his fallen comrades. Little did he know he'd grow up to face the real thing. An avid weightlifter since his teens, he uses his powerful muscles to carry the wounded to a safe LZ for evac. He has an uncanny way of ferreting out new medical techniques and equipment for his life-saving arsenal.
History
Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Born in 1993 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sideswipe is a Medical specialist who joined the Joes in 2013. He's seen enough trauma from an internship at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. He's routinely assigned alongside the veteran medic Lifeline. Though Lifeline doesn't exactly share Sideswipe's zeal for battle, the two have an amicable mentor/student-style relationship.

In 2013 he joined the Joes just in time for the Quintesson Invasion TP, and helped to rescue an injured Ace, Chance, and Nightingale after a Pit invasion by Quintesson transorganics. After the invasion ended, he took another hiatus from G.I. Joe to pursue more schooling, and only recently returned to the Pit in 2015.
