Don't get me wrong, I like the name, but I think this is going to lead to general confusion amongst parents buying toys and movie goers.
We are getting two silver sports cars with very similar names (Sideswipe and Sideways). Hell, some people might think that one of these two are Jazz reincarnated. Yeah, the average Joe-blow should be able to distinguish Evil Audi Sideways vs. Good Corvette Sideswipe, but I don't think kids will. Perhaps that's why Sideways is similar to Barricade? To help differentiate him from the Autobots.
I just think they could have picked a different color for either character and a different set of names that weren't so similar.

Thanks for the heads-up. Anyway, it seems like Audi, unlike some other car companies (*cough*Ford*cough), they have no qualms about having one of their cars seen as a bad guy...
Now, if only Volkswagen can get over their WWII problems...
Actually they did. The toy is a generic version of the R8.
There are no Audi logos and most of the cars recognizable features are simplified.
(and Audi, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, and Porsche are all part of the same company)

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I'll add his credit to the credits right away.
But that would mean that Barricade really was Sideways in Disguise!

Nice use of the name though, wonder what the character will be like.
This could only result in a series of buddy-cop action movies. Bot Cops, Bot Cops II: Cleaning up the Robot Streets, and of course, Bot Cops 3D: The Killination. "He was 2 oil changes away from retirement!"
Someone better fund this.

Hehe, Bot Cops for the win

Barricade, knowing how the chips are falling, decides to get the hell outta Dodge before the Autobots track him down. Going into hiding, he intercepts Optimus Prime's open broadcast to Autobots in space... and sees his opportunity for a life that wasn't eternal hiding.
After a while, he reformats himself into this new Audi form, and approaches the Autobots as "Sideways," extending a hand in friendship... only to later be found out (by the Arcee Trio) as an undercover Decepticon working for Starscream.
