Robots in Disguise Side Burn

The last of the three RiD Car Brothers is, for the most part, my least favourite... in many ways, his one redeeming feature is the vehicle he transforms into, though the paint job - much like that of his brothers - comes a close second. It was, I think, Side Burn that looked most awkward, least like what I thought of as a traditional TransFormers toy, when I first glimpsed the trio in the window of Harrow's Computer Exchange many years ago.

Nevertheless, and despite the fact that I've only seen a couple of episodes of the TV show, on a random charity shop DVD purchase gifted to me by a friend, I did end up buying all three when I'd later developed a new appreciation of their unique stylings... And so it's about time I dealt with this one.

TransFormers Collectors' Club 2011 Members Incentive (Timelines) Side Burn

(Members Incentive Monday #2)

If there's a TransFormers mold that's destined to be considered overused, it's going to be G1 Optimus Prime. If there's more than one mold that's destined to be considered overused, though, the Classics Rodimus mold must surely be high on the list. Not only has it been repainted about a billion times as Hot Rod/Rodimus/Rodimus Prime, released both singly and in multi-packs, and cast in just about every imaginable shade of red, including transparent, but it's been used by the TFCC as an exclusive.

Twice.

So far.
