Sideswipe just had to be running a mission on his own since the others were separated to find a specific Decepticon, that especially Sideswipe didn't like- the one that took his body and put his helm in a massive glass case or whatever.. He had a duty to do.

Sideswipe was dashing and bolting through the train tunnels of Crown City in his vehicle-mode, the loud noise of exhaust emitting from him as he made slight banking turns down the line. Occasionally going on comms to talk to the others, and earning a "Sideswipe, focus on the mission." From Bumblebee no less. It left the Mech paranoid to no end till Sideswipe returned to the spot where that Decepticon's lab was, that- loose vent grate boarded up.

he'd just swing his arm over the boards, it fell into shambles quick to the ground before a secret passage opened.

Sideswipe stepped in the laboratory, surrounded by basic human machinery and 'tanks' in which could store a bot. Concerning, chains dangling about from the ceiling as he advanced about. The memories of those medical instruments nearing his neck, he shivered at the metal images.

Sideswipe attempted to concentrate then, his gaze lingering over the floor and rest of the environment. Taking one breath into his intake, before hearing an item fall to the ground with a metal clank. Some random ray-gun consisting of pink plating- along the lines of 'cat-inator', odd. Was that 'Con turning things into cats?

Sideswipe would pivot about on his heel, looking for the source of sound before a 'Meeoww' emitted from his east. His optics squint and linger around, vigilant. "What the?" Sideswipe would simply rotate on and on till another item fell.

Picking up the pace to walk over and found a metallic mammal.. Is that a Horse? No, that's gotta be some sort of feline animal but why did it have oddly colored eyes? The top of it's helmet and it's chubby lil face he noted. "Aw, look at yoou!" Sideswipe commented, cautiously approaching.. Before making 'Pspsps' wispy sounds to grab the Cat's attention.
