We go by screen feats. Probably the only reason Sideswipe went completely through Sideways was because Sideways was speeding away and Sidwswipe used Sideways' own momentum against him.
BB's fight with a Decep 2-3 times his size and that cat at the same time showed him to be the better /more versatile fighter. Sideswipe tries to get in close, BB uses his Bruce Lee step-kick. /the end.
My was that they'd not had an extended one on one fight with anyone. Both of them got pwned by Starscream. But, they took his missiles. One missile left Bee legless. That's saying something.
Sideswipe seems to have a apparent lack of firepower. He's the "Wolverine" of the Autobots.
Or SS "swipes" his leg off with his blades. new chapter.

I doubt it'd be that easy. How many swipes did Prime get in on Megatron and Starscream in the forest? How many limbs were lost b/c of it? Transformers have insane durability.
But the "Bruce Lee" kick will end Sideswipe? Come on. Blades pwns kicks any day.

Blades do not grant Sideswipe the automatic victory. Again, watch the forest fight scene. Prime must have stabbed Megatron and Starscream 50 times combined. Both of them walked away fine.
SS's speed and mobility are his biggest assets. BB opens fire, SS gets low and fast, weaving this way and that, he aint gonna be an easy target.

No, that and his other up-close attacks (see fight in the desert) would keep Sideswipe and his little blade at bay. Like I said, SS has one move on screen, BB is a total figthing bad-ass. He's like a minature Optimus.

1 flashy move isn't superior to someone else showing extensive fighting prowess across the board.
This is like the Lee Vs. Ali thread, people saying "Bruce kicked a body bag and sent it flying!", as some sort of counter to Ali's superb and tested record of beating down mother****ers for two decades.
No, you aren't. You are going by quantity not quality. Sideswipes one scene was epic pwnage, and you aren't acknowledging it.

On reading though this, I reitterate that BB would probably take this....
Sideswipe looks too spindly in the midsection....A few good shots from Bumblebee could rip him in half, should Camero boy draw a bead on him with his many optional weapons....
If Sunstreaker ever turns up though, both brothers facing off against BB might stand a chance...
But thats a wholllllllllle other thread.
Lookit my sig, dude, he is no more "spindly" than BB. Even if he was, that means he presents less of a target, and BB was never shown blowing anyone in half with ease.

He had, actually.... Check out the toaster bots and stuff he took out (Small targets, fast moving) all one shot destructions...
And the magic healing powers didnt seem to work there.
I saw your sig, the character in film, and the figures.
OK, you are now using BB taking out kitchen appliances as an argument.

It was sweet, yet that same attack isn't going to cut BB in half, like you imagine. You're merely going by the dazzle-effect.
In that scene, Sidewipe jumps over a speeding Sideways, he throws his blade and sticks it into SW's hood, as he completes his jump-flip, he grabs the blalde, rams it into the ground and uses SW's own speed and momentum to cut him in half; that was the key to SS cutting SW in twain. Had SW hit the breaks, there would have been no cutting.
So like I said, BB taking out Devastator who was about three times his size using a combo of punches, knees, kicks, body-throws and guns (ala McClane) shows he is by far the better fighter. Skinning the cat in the middle of that fight just adds to BB's bad-assery.
Edit: To Sadako's point, SS is spindlely; more-so than BB.
And that feat was equal to you and I squishing cockroaches under our heel.
