- So remember how Sentinel Prime's rust cannon was able to make any Transformer fall apart? Well Sideswipe is the only exception to this, and this video dives into how that is possible.

I love this channel because it answers questions I didn’t know I had while allowing me to appreciate the Bayverse more.
Anytime 🫡
I agree. Without you, theorymus, my childhood and 2nd comfort CZcamsr wouldn’t exist
Sorry but Luke TheNotable is first
Hey do you know where I could buy or what I should look up for the comics
@@Theorymus I can't believe I got a heart and reply form Theorymus! Thank you so much! You made my day!
@@Theorymusdon’t ever stop your doing us all a favor 🫡
Sideswipe cheated death cause he's just that damn good.
omg! That’s… that’s amazing🤩
Yep,hes *damn good*
"DAMN HE'S GOOD"
Sideswipe is him
Damn he’s good
Unlike the Deceptcions, Sentinel actually had brain cells and was able to see the humans as a threat which was why he massacred the NEST base along with getting the pillars back.
The humans have always helped the auto bots defeat the decepticons, and sentinel must have learned that after he was revived. He knew how much trouble the humans would be, and they came in the final battle helping the auto bots win. The humans in age of extinction picked off the autobots so it was smart for sentinel to get human help and weaken the human military.
Imagine how perfect Dark of the Moon would have been if they kept all the ideas in. Skids and Mudflaps’ deaths and the original ending would have made DotM one of the best TF movies easily.
Exactly. Also keeping the original ending would've been awesome. Its a shame that was changed due to a script leak
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9rthe original ending is actually a terrible one in my opinion. Doesnt make sense for optimus's character to just let megatron go
@@TACTIK00L Do you mean just this Otimus?
Cause that is exactly what Optimus's personality and character is supposed to be
@@TACTIK00L In my opinion it makes sense. Megatron has lost pretty much everything at this point, so it makes sense for him to call a truce with Prime to officially end the war. Megatron knows he's already lost anyway, so not even bothering to fight anymore is not only more satifsying, but it gives Megatron more depth to his character and shows that he's more aware of the concept of honor than Sentinel ever did.
@Ultracharge9 optimus doesn't owe megatron anything but the blade of his axe in his head
Prime had enough of Megatron's bs and even if he did let him go who's to say he isn't just gonna make another army
To quote Burns from the Bumblebee movie, "They literally call themselves Decepticons. That doesn't set off any red flags?"
It would've been cool if they'd shown Sideswipe escaping and fighting Lockdown.
Nope lockdown killed side swipe
@@zaynoonmoses proofs? No? Then shut up and don't make everyone sad :>
@@zaynoonmoseshis card says otherwise canon wise
If Lockdown could take down Prime without a sweat, Sideswipe isn't gonna last a second
@TheGhost-rp3ko Lockdown lost to evasion Optimus in a fair 1v1. I never said Lockdown couldn't beat Sideswipe I'm just saying canon wise according to his card he's alive
my theory was that the rust cannon used separate ammunition so basically he used all of his rust rounds on Ironhide and while trying to hit Bee, so basically Ironhide saved Sideswipe by needing 3 hits to die.
A sacrifice had to be made, this is something Ironhide would do
@@Jimbo-bb1dg FFS lol literally read half of this in his voice WTF wrong with me 🤣🤦♂️
@@ewangreenhorn1051 LMAO 😭😭
Another indication to put out is that the gun is low on ammunition. When you compare the power between when Ironhide and Sideswipe got shot, you see how punch packing it did to Ironhide and how its like a small firework pop to Sideswipe. I mean if you speculate it, you see how the gun even had trouble shooting the projectile out. The reason being is Sentinel shot the gun like 20 times in the movie, so he had to be low on it by the time he shot Sideswipe, to a point that it didn’t really rust him but rather just get knocked out.
Counter theory: Sentinel must have reloaded the gun to a full charge before the final battle since he knew he was going to be attacked by autobots later. And his aim was pretty accurate as well. Sideswipe was lucky he was a light sports car. Besides you could also say that there were to many autobots ganging up on him at the same time so maybe he missed. Anyways I have two theories. Pick one whichever floats your boat
Or, he just charged up his shot against Ironhide, and because Ironhide is a bigger Autobot the more powerful shot was needed.
This theory doesn't make any sense. If Sentinel was low on ammunition, the rust cannon would still have the same effect. Ammunition refers to the projectile a weapon is shooting. "Low on ammunition" means that Sentinel has little shots left to fire off, to put it simply, he's low on ammo, if the gun were to run out of ammo Sentinel would have to reload the gun. The rusting effect of the rust cannon isn't dependent on how much ammo the rust cannon has left lmfao. The most likely explanation to where the rust comes from is that you need to manually charge up the weapon in order to have the rust effect, since before Sentinel shoots ironhide, he charges up the weapon, giving the projectile in the weapon the rusting effect. This explanation is backed up by the fact that right before Sentinel shoots sideswipe, he doesn't charge up the weapon, so the rust cannon won't have the rusting effect.
My theory was that the rust was slowly eating the cannon as nothing is "immune" from the cosmic rust.
Basically its a gun that you can use for a limited time before it stops being useful.
Poor Ironhide. He died in a TERRIBLE fate.
Press f to pay respects.

I thought it was just cuz sentinel would always charge his gun when shooting the rust, but if he doesnt charge it, it would act like a basic gun, as he charges it for ironhide, but doesnt charge it in the ending battle cuz he was panic shooting
I remember this one
I think he can chose between rusts and normall bullets, in movie Sentinel use rust to kill Ironhide and to shots to Bee, after autobot retred Sentinel change to explosive ammo to deal with humans in NEST base. Rust cannon leave small claud of rust after hit (it is visible when he shot to Bee and hit metal boxe, and explain why Ironhide fingers start rusting before shot on arm get to hand, even if he dont get hit in it) so in battle is posibility that he can come in contact with this claud, espesly hitting target being that close and in battel chaos, so he just dont want to rish his live expecjally knowing only he can control philars. I dont read full orginal ending but its posible that Sentinel wants to kill Optimus with rust or Optimus just switch cannon back to rust.
ah that explains things too@@kiryu7853
@kiryu7853 same shit with Blackout in TF1 with that energon blast. If he had that at the final battle it would have been over quick. Plot armor on characters man
I kinda appreciate Sideswipe’s unique bayverse design
I wish he got more screen time
Sentinel firing at Ironhide pierced my heart and left me in complete shock and sad for a moment when I saw Dark of the Moon in theaters, I was 11 when the film released.
I remember you did this few years ago this really shows how much you’ve grown
Thanks man!
one thing i will always say about your videos theorymus is that you do your research and find plot holes and missing details when it comes to the movies and i appreciate that keep this up man.
Anytime man, I love what I do 🤘
Hey Theorymus I just wanna say you've inspired me to rebrand a very dusty old channel to make theories of my favorite franchise, Terminator!
I always loved watching every explanation video, and I appreciate the really hard effort you put in! Never stop theorizing!
Dude you really don't know how much that means to me, That sounds totally awesome and I wish you all the luck with your youtube journey ✌️
@@Theorymusthis is wholesome
I remember u talking about how sentinel shot the rust gun many times, that it would later run out of effect to kill and it would just be a blaster.
That's.. actually a pretty awesome detail that I did not take into consideration, that's pretty awesome how sideswipe can survive that
I know right, it's pretty cool!
RIP ironhide, you were the best autobot in all the movies
I’m happy he didn’t die in dotm. It was a very fast shot.
Some the transformers from later movies would've been pretty safe too. Since so many super cars are made out of carbon fiber
This is an interesting video. Nice explaining. It’s amazing that Sideswipe survived the shot from Sentinel’s cosmic rust weapon.
When you said that Sideswipe's vehicle mode is fibreglass my head immediately exploded, like how Sentinel's did when Optimus shot him
I've been a viewer of this channel since atleast 18k subs and I've always waited for a sideswipe video, theorymus already made one about him and this is another one. Sideswipe was my favorite character since I saw transformers
Sideswipe is made out of fiberglass? I did not see that coming.
He’s not, theorymus is just stupid and desperate for something
Corvettes are made from fiber glass just the body
I love how much information you pulled out of this tiny clip. very cool and entertaining with background knowledge galore.
Not gonna lie this kinda made more sense compared to the original theory of sentinel running out of ammo on the "how sideswipe almost died" video from 5 years ago
Indeed, I really want to update that video since I do not like that theory anymore
Great video I enjoyed the video. Tbh I think sideswipe is lighter than the other Autobots so that makes him a little bit more safer. But it would of been nice to see him back on the road with everyone else in transformers 4
That's a pretty cool detail, I work with composite materials and rust testing so this was interesting.
That sounds awesome! I'm glad I was able to get the real world since right for this video, since the theory would fall flat if I didnt
You should be doing a video on where exactly they keep all the cars, trucks, jets, etc. for the Transformers films before and after the movies are filmed. I wonder if some of them still exist...
This is actually a video i've been working on in the background, I don't know when it will be out but it's definitely An ambitious project
Another Idea Is That The Rust Cannon wasnt strong enough at the Moment to kill sideswipe, as Progressively the More times Sentinel fired the Cannon the Blasts became less powerful and less Rust, so instead of Sideswipe rusting away all that would come out of the cannon would be air pressure
Sideswipe became my favorite autobot ever since revenge of the fallen.
There is a plot hole with sentinel prime's cosmic rust death , that plot hole is the fact sentinel is immune to cosmic rust , this immunity is the reason why he was able to construct the cosmic rust canon in the first place and why sentinel is the only person who has used cosmic rust weaponry .
I don't think he's immune to it, since Optimus kills him with that same gun in the novelization and comics version
@@cozzmic5946 but sentinel prime is immune to cosmic rust I have literally just explained why the cosmic rust death is a plot hole .
I always chalked it up to either Sentinel using an alternative firing mode for whatever reason on his blaster or him having run out of ammunition and having to resort to using the alternative firing mode since I don't remember him rusting anything after he shot Sideswipe
Can you do a video on if prime found out that he died? And what did he do with the remaining parts that did not rust. R.I.P to my boy Iornhide
"however there's more to this weapon than meets the eye" I feel it.!
Haha
Cool vid. Ur vids R my favorite. The reason why ur my favorite you tuber is because your content is so entertaining. Ur the best bro!!!
Sideswipe cheats death
William Afton (FNAF): hey, that’s my shtick!
Amazing video Theorymus!!!
Thank you Theorymus for this video
Awesome video and so glad you explained that . Rip Ironhide
As a cargeek I also found this detail and I at first thought I was nuts but now with you saying it too I feel less in an echo chamber
Um no, Sideways is the one who cheated death, and then he forms an alliance with Transit after teleporting to the rebooted continuity. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk 🤓
Nice video btw lol. I remember seeing a similar explanation by you I think
Producers always made a great job making this kind of details..
Since the TF4 Kill Cards imply the twins are alive, do you believe they are, or is that a mistake on the cards?
Considering Michael Bay loved to change the script of the movies at the last second, yes, they're definitely alive, either hiding or being part of a gang or something
I'd say a mistake, probably because they misspelled Garbage bot to Garage bot. And how if the kill cards were accurate, then that would mean within in this 5 year period, 2 autobots we're hunted and killed. Those being Leadfoot and Ratchet
As to how cannon the kill cards are supposed to be is still up in the air, However, I would say that what we saw on screen should be taken as Canon. And what we didn't it is up to your own interpretation
Wow I wasn't expecting that but what a great video theorymus prime love it 😊😊❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video as always Theorymus.
In the comics, Ironhide was a bit of a mentor towards Sideswipe. They should've shown Sideswipes reaction to his death. Could've made this moment hit even harder.
Question: what would happen if you put salt and vinegar on cosmic rust? Cause on normal rust when you put Salt & Vinegar on it it removes it, so what happens when you put Salt & Vinegar on cosmic rust? Could it be used to remove the effects?
Thank you theorymus for clearing this up cuz sideswipe my fav charecter so ty
Anytime 👍
This was a Really Great Video I Never knew that Sideways was shot with The Rust Cannon.
I like the old theory better. Sentinel’s rust canon ran out of the rust and just blew out a puff of smoke. You said that in a video before, I remember it just don’t know which one it was
SideSwipe has plot armor. simple
Damn, he’s good.
I didn’t even know sideswipe was in that shot, honestly I don’t pay attention to movie mistakes or confusing stuff, I just pay attention to the movie and how good it is
This is a very very good detail and explanation!
thats crazy, ive always thought about the materials, but didnt notice this. i thought Sentinal had like a multi-task weapon and the cosmic rust was like a trap card that he cant abuse. this makes more sense.
Hes just too damn good. My favorite cybertronian
Kudos to whoever on the design team thought of this (if it was intentional), that's a real deep-cut into attention to detail.
I wish sideswipe had more screen time he had so much potential for cool scenes
Im glad one of my favorite autobots didn't bite the dust on screen in DOTM
GG sideswipe one of the goats you the best
Nice video, and you posted this my birthday.
He survived a shot from the rust cannon but he could possibly be dead in the next movie but I hoped he survived
From my perspective, i would say sentinals rust gun has a limit and when the rust affect is finished it switches to normal bullets automatically until it reloads or refills, otherwise sentinal would be wayy too over powered and he might as well just use hes rust gun to get the job done and shoot them all dead one time instead of fighting them with mele and shield delaying hes own plan, that to me makes more sense than the theory you suggested, interesting idea though
I feel like this topic was touched upon before- (hehhe nostalgia) Kooool video man
Well Damn!!! Great work and analysis!!!
I think the cannon shot a smaller burst which was not enough to overpower sideswipes auto repair systems unlike ironhide who was hit with a massive blast
THAT BLEW MY MIND OUT OF MY HEAD
this makes me so happy since sideswipe has always been one of my favorite characters and still deserved more time in the bayverse
Sometimes Bay movies are really smart! Great video, friend!
Anytime!
Another amazing video
Thank you so much bro for this new info it make to appreciate the movie's better n i love them equally also did you hear that ben schwartz voice bee in aoe what ur video on that?
Well this finally answered a question i had for years
Never forget Ironhide people. Always hate on sentinel
YES
Hate Sentinel as a Cybertronian but love him as a villain.
@@AfterthymeGaming that too my good friend. That too
@@anneboonchuy17 not to mention he was voiced by Leonard Nimoy.
Had to come see if you spoke on those cause I was rewatching the tf3 Battle and realized he got shot by the rust cannon
Sentinel: NOW U AUTOBOT WILL SUCUMB AS UR MENTOR
(Sentinel shoots at Swipe)
Swipe: I AIN'T DED
Sentinel: IMPOSSIBLE
(Sentinel fires at him again)
Sentinel: UH....
(Swipe takes his shotgun and fires at Sentinel's head)
Swipe: DAMN I'M GOOD
i'm mindblown. Perfection in a single video
Ironside's death always bothered me because he should have been more worried about others than himself. like "GET AWAY!!! DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!" and thanking Optimus before his head rusts off.
His death in the movie was more realistic, he barely had any time to think especially since it was a betrayal and very unexpected
You never had to cut me off like that
I wonder if he’ll be in that fam made transformers rise of unicron project
Even more reason why the car should’ve went into full production, it saved a characters life.
Cmon Chevy!
The most goated Bayverse CZcamsr has graced us with his presence once again.
Heck yea 👍
didn't we already cover this vid before because Sentinel didn't charge his rust canon so it became weaker and lost its affect on the titular bot.
And this is why sideswipe is one of my favorite character
Another theory is that sentinel primes weapon wasn’t powered up which is why he didn’t become rusted
It makes perfect sense! Now we get why he's also so nimble, acrobatic and swift because he was also much lighter.
Bro you got me baffled when you said fiber last I was still puzzled
This is very fascinating to me.
Remember the G1 comic book where all transformers where being attacked by cosmic rust, tiny nano mites, love them comics and this is the 1st time realise they used the same principle with sentinel gun
Although edfomers theories were that the cosmect rust cannon was out of cosmect rust therfore allowing sideswipe to survive and also he's my favourite character
Me: How was Sideswipe able to cheat death?
Sideswipe: Because I'm damn good.
why not make a video of who will win in a fight lockdown or scourge. GOOD video man ceep up the good work
I swear he already explained this, It's either this is a repost or I was watching one of his videos mentioning this sideswipe's situation
This is a video I actually did before, However The theory on how he survived is completely different and I feel like this theory is more plausible
Deep dig theory. Bravo 👏
Awesome Theory!👏🌟
Thanks! 😁
Sideswipe had to escape for his life, while dino every time something was boutta kill him, showed the contract with ferrari that does not allow him to be killed
Imagine you're immortal because a random company said so
The 2009 corvette stingray concept car (sideswipe alt mode) has a body made out of fiberglass, like you mentioned. The car shares the same chassis as the c6 Corvette, which is made out of steel, which can rust, even though the engine (ls3) can't because it's made from aluminium. However, sideswipe could have cheated death even more, if the corvette concept car was based on the c6 z06 chassis. The z06 chassis was made from aluminium instead of steel, in order to reduce weight. If hus alt mode was based on the z06, he would be pretty much immune to the rust canon.
Sideswipe the one of top favorite characters🗿
