Braton Hikou and Wyrm Prime are all upgrades to their original counterparts. The difference between Wyrm Prime and Wyrm is pretty much the same as the difference between Carrier Prime and Carrier: Prime variants are more durable.

Braton Prime has higher rate of fire AND damage than the regular Braton and Hikou Prime trade fire rate for much more damage, reload speed and  magazine size (I guess that is your definition of sidegrade).

All primes are upgrades to their original counterparts. If I had to name a sidegrade, it would definitely be the Glaive Prime. The thing only has increased flight speed compared to the original one.
