Title:
Side Burn
Description:
• RID113
• Speedbreaker (2000) / Side Burn (Deluxe Class, 2001)
• Takara ID number: C-004
• Accessories: ”Exhaust Bowgun” rear bumper/missile launcher, tailpipe/missile, ”Drag Knife” gun/knife
• Known designers: Hironori Kobayashi (TakaraTomy)
Released in the initial waves of the Car Robots and Robots in Disguise toylines, Side Burn transforms into a blue, hot-rodded Dodge Viper with flame decos on the hood. His ”Exhaust Bowgun” missile launcher (named only in the Japanese release), which can be stored on a hole on the inside of his front bumper in robot mode, is formed from his rear bumper, and the projectile launched is his vehicle mode tail pipe. His small silver ”Drag Knife” gun/knife can be held in two different positions (depending on what weapon one wants) and can be stored in both modes via a peg on his back.
Side Burn is essentially a shellformer, with very few of his car mode pieces being incorporated into his robot limbs. He is also particularly notorious for being difficult to transform, even for adult collectors, with few robot parts locking into place in car mode, making it harder for car-mode panels to line up properly..
There are some minor differences between the Takara and Hasbro releases of the toy. The most immediately noticeable is that the Hasbro ”Side Burn” adds an Autobot sigil to his car-mode roof that ”Speedbreaker” lacks.
Sonokong also released this figure in a gift set with his brothers in Korean markets with no differences (to the Takara releases), other than the packaging.
This mold was retooled to make Universe Roulette and Shadow Striker.
