And People Think Clear Plastic Is bad Today | #transformers RID 2001 Deluxe Sideburn and “Super” Sideburn - Zábava
Apparently didn't know the missile pegs in underneath. I didn't get instructions so it completely crossed my mind my bad. Thanks for informing me tho
The gun on the old one can also be held as a knife
It looks like your blue figure is(Speedbreaker) from Car Robots and the red one is Sideburn (super mode) from RID. The blue figure is a Japanese release and the red one is an American release because Takara didn’t print the Autobot insignia on the roof and Hasbro did.
Knew someone would catch it before me.
"Here, take the blue one for free." "Oh....thanks dude." "No.....thank you .😁"
Old clear plastic 🤝 old gold plastic: being absolutely terrifying to handle
Clear plastic in general*
@@frankst5979 LEGO clear plastic laughing at the peasants.
old plastic with metal flakes and/or swirls are always terrible. gold is the most common but it can be other metallic plastic, seen it is brown, red and dark grey metallic. So if you cant see metal flakes or swirls in your golden plastic is it mostly safe even if it is old.
@@malcomalexander9437 until you see you're second generation bionicles suffer from GPS on the metalic sliver joints.
To sum it up, clear plastic has a 90% chance of being horrible
My ko mp13 had a breakage that practically ruined my February. Can you guess where it was? Thats right, the clear latch on his tape door.
Transformers animated clear plastic and revenge of the fallen clear plastic still holds up shout out to 2009 plastic 🙌
@@gentalrobots3988I heard a horror stories about clear plastic on Animated Swindle...
@@gentalrobots3988You are just lucky. I’ve seen Animated Swindles who have completely shattered
I like the old one more actually
2001 RID figures are still my absolute favorites. The realistic vehicle modes with the rubber tires and vac-metal painted parts is how I pretty much got into transformers.
They don't have rubber tires nowdays
@@arnelanat3578 With a few exceptions
RID came off the back of the same materials aesthetic as Beast Wars transmetals (vac metal, rubber and clear parts). They looked really premium to me.
That seller really did just indirectly say "Here, he's your problem now."
Normalize Painted Windows and Clear plastic Inserts.
Yes. Why can't every figure have clear plastic insterts like KingRise Optimus or SS100 RotB Bee!? It'd be so cool! & you would've have to worry so much abt clear plastic!
That random Bumblebee one-step caught me insanely off guard
That blue Dodge Viper is Speed Breaker from Car Robots because Takara didn’t print the Autobot insignia on this figure and the red Dodge Viper is Side Burn because Hasbro did print the Autobot insignia on the roof. You have a Japanese version and an American version of the same figure.
Love your channel! Store the projectile alongside the undercarriage (there are two tabs on the missile and two slots on one of his thighs!) and it is an exhaust pipe! Also, his pistol is also a knife, just like with ShadowStriker, so SideBurn -does- have that melee option!
Keep up the awesome work, and good get on finding the two in such good condition. SideBurn was the first Transformer I bought for myself with my own money (at 19, I believe) fresh from a Toys'R'Us, haha, back in like 2000-ish... Love that figure!!
have to agree, Legacy Shadow Striker is a great figure. People gave it so much shit when it leaked but I love it. It's just so DIFFERENT to most of what we've gotten recently. The way it transforms is just so unique and satisfying, even if the car mode isn't the best. It feels cold. metal. alien. Like a Decepticon should. Gives off major Terminator vibes. The clear plastic where the roof clips onto the hinge joint did break on mine but it still holds on by one of the clips. But other than that she's great. can't wait for Side Burn. Hopefully we get Roulette too.
Sideburn is a toy I have no business loving as much as I do.
The Dodge Viper alt mode (and asymmetrical bot mode) makes me like way more than I should.
Hey, for the old versions missile, it tabs into the leg in car mode to become the exhaust.
Sideburn turning red in his super mode is so funny to me, he's become the very thing he lusts over: a red car lmao
Now he can be like Tracks, admiring his own stunning auto mode.
@@Jetblast01
"I'd rather stay in my stunning auto mode."
"But then I couldn't do this!"
The missle pegs into his leg and look like an exhaust pipe, if I remember correctly.
You are correct.
I came here to say exactly that! Car Robots had some of the best weapons storage in Tf history
yep ,exactly like that.
Yes, some of those RID 2001 are a pain to transform but they have their own charm. My favorite Transformer line of all time by the way.
Two tips from a RID collector:
1.- The missile can be placed as an exhaust pipe for the viper. Look for the thighs of the robot, you'll see two slots, and the missile has two tabs, you just have to line them up to give the appearance of a high performance exhaust.
2.- Once each 6 months, carefully take out the rubber wheels from the wheel frame, undust them with a small brush (don't water them) then put them in a small container with lid (you can use a small bag instead) with a good amount of liquid glycerin, enough to cover them and leave about 1 cm of liquid of liquid above the wheels, looks for bubbles in the wheels, use a toothpick to get rid of them, and place them in a place undisturbed for 24 hours. After that, use a dry absorbent paper towel to get rid of the excedent glycerin, place them in another paper towel for one hour in the shadow, and put them again in the figure. The wheels will rehydrate and prevent the cracks to appear.
Thanks
Does this work on already cracked and dried tires
@@ElysiumEverlasting777 if the wheel isn't as hard as rock, yes. It can restore it's flexibility. I have an X- Prown which one of it's wheels was as hard as rock that they split when I tried the treatment. Unfortunately at this point the glycerin isn't enough to smooth it.
If the cracks are just superficial it prevents their growth. If the wheel is about to split, like half way, put a really small drop of cyanocrilate glue in the separation, press it to glue them, then let it dry overnight, and use the glycerin treatment the next day. My Optimus Prime wheels where about to split in half, and this resolve the problem.
Thx for tip with tires. Gonna do that with alternators.
Should i do this with lego tires too?
@@AIFT_Staff I don't know sorry, never tested with either...
With Shadowstriker, if you want to not lose the gun in vehicle mode, it fits right in between her arms before you close the roof.
One thing I like to do with the Shadowstriker is put the bumper on the gun in sword configuration to make a pickaxe
Those RID molds are what I expected the movie figures to be. I kinda miss them.
All I want to come out of this mold is a two pack with the bot con style Shadow Striker and Roulette or just a Roulette. I really really like that design they had in that bot con two pack, I have no idea what makes it so appealing to me but it is. But there's no way I'm paying those crazy after market prices for the original so hopefully they do a remake at some point
Just a heads up,the missile actually tabs into the slots on the leg on OG Sideways/Super Sideways, and sits under the car as a muffler, no sticking out the pooper needed!
Oh damn, didn't know that. Thanks!
11:24 not gonna lie that autochanging bee kinda jumpscared me, my "oh shit figure fell" anxiety spiked and then confusion when it turned into a brick. was not expecting that
RID 01 Sideburn aka If Beast Wars Neo Mach Kick was a car instead of a horse.
The old toy looks neat, but also just man, that seems like a bit of a nightmare today thanks to the ball joints and clear plastic. Legacy Shadow Striker, meanwhile, is just great. Zero complaints from me. She's a really great figure, and I'd really be interested in seeing how they retool her into Sideburn.
im sorry. but the tires on legacy figures are cheap and nasty
If you pay attention, you'll notice there are TWO tabs on the missile and, conveniently, there are a pair of holes in his leg under the car. The missile tabs in there and becomes the car's exhaust pipe!
Red Sideburn was my first new Transformers toy I brought as an adult
Great video.
I don't like transparent plastic not just because that it's more weaker than solid plastic, it's also because of paint matching. Which always sucks. Always prefer painted Windows.
You made that looks so easy but i had an absolute nightmare getting that roof tabbed in
I still can’t get past how Shadow Striker is a mash up of two versions of the character, and thus fails to represent either very well.
I own the original blue one, and while the wheels haven't cracked, and the bumper has never popped off, the top of the car is stressed and the joint cracked. Crazy how complicated this mold felt back in the day. Really like the Shadowstriker mold though holding out for the Sideburn. Really hope the body gets some unofficial Viper retooling.
The modern design might be better as it's not reliant on balljoints, but it just doesn't look right. I liked that the Speedbreaker/ Sideburn mold was pretty slim and tight looking (which is why it worked well for the original Shadowstriker and Roulette). The new version's boxy looking body and skinny limbs just doesn't have the same panache as the original. I'm not a fan of Shadowstriker's alt mode either, it just looks a bit dumpy and less sporty. I bet though that this is one of those toys that's awesome in hand and I'm just not feeling it from what I'm seeing on the interwebs.
I just bought a huge RID 2001 collection, after seeing your luck with Sideburns 2001, I think that I am going leave mine in the car mode that most came to me in,lol
The missle has two tabs that are meant to slot into the right thigh when in alt mode, that makes it a proper exhaust instead if a poo
fun fact: you can actually fit the gun inside the car mode on the new one! you just have to put it in with the handle facing up before you put the roof on.
That was the only TF, I came in contact with. A friend of mine had the blue version,---minus the back bumper......
The new one could also be repainted into Movie Crosshairs, with how the doors become a cape in robot mode
The gold gun on the old one is a knife and the red missile is a muffler to be pegged in the leg.
Finally I found one of your videos within a day of release
The blue one is the japanese one. You can tell because the japanese one has no autobot logo on the roof.
I can't wait to see how the new one looks as Sideburn...but uhm, you missed the missile tabbing on the leg in car mode to give the car an exhaust in the original!
In a fit of madness I legit threw Side Burn in the trash rather than transform him back into a car to pack him away. And then I threw away his brothers because...sometimes I do dumb shit.
I remember having that blue one way back when RID 2001 was still airing
you were so lucky... i wish i would get my hands on a RID 2001 optimus prime or sideburn ,prowl and x brawn
You can store the missile on the old one under the car using the rectangular pegs on its sides. The narrow end sticks out the back like an exhaust
RID Sideburn was one of my childhood favorites 😊
Oh hey, I literally got Sideburn a few days ago
Also, the missile actually tabs on to the right leg on the underside of the vehicle mode
Yup, it is supposed to look like his exhaust pipe
I've had both the blue and red Side Burns since new. I think I transformed the blue one twice (into robot and back to car) and the red one has pretty much just been in vehicle mode for the past 23 years. Prowl and X-Brawn were so much more fun to transform.
11:24 BUMBLE-FLIP!!!
For anyone who wants the figure to be more like the Cyberverse design. You could swap the limbs with other spare transformers that have mushroom pegs to give her a more Cyberverse design, pretty sure her legs is a close match to Windblades legs. or custom paint the figure to match the show if you down want to comprimise the transformation.
And there was no front-end retooling.
RID 2001 Side Burn a lot smaller then I thought he would be.
I know this may seem off topic but since there has been an announcement for a ss 86 commander class megatron in the works and despite him being a tank,I was thinking maybe you can do a review on toyworld's hegemon, supposedly the last good mainline scale gun mode megatron and seeing if modern engineering is able to make what hegemon is better
I had no idea she was based off a older mold tbh
I really hope that when they do make the new Sideburn out of the new mold, I do hope they reshell the vehicle mode to be more Viper-ish.
I'm so curious if I still had all of my RiD figures if they would've stood the test of time.
My very first Transformers figure was RID 2001 Sideburn
transformation defined in one sentence for Sideburn
Takara dai atlas quality
I hate those shoulders so damn much.
The thing that tics me off the most is that they are set too far back for good reason.
I can't wait to have the time to mod mine.
I just got the Black and red version of the original sideburn this week, mines missing the rear bumper but he’s a fun figure to mess with.
I have the Botcon Roulette and Shadowstriker. I cant bring myself to transform them out of fear they will explode.
It's a shame that the new Legacy Sideburn didn't get a new remolded car front and that the flames in the new version are hardly noticeable. I wanted to buy it but I couldn't justify the price for such an underwhelming figure that isn't as good as the original Japanese version.
The missile does store on the original. It has 2 pegs , and one of his leg's it has 2 groves for the missile to tab on
you got left hand sideburn and right hand sideburn. And the new one is registered as no party preference 👍
Im going to wait until the new Sideburn is released to check this mold out. Though i still want one of the original versions to have all 3 Autobot Brothers.
I love the Viper. I have both Red and Blue still MOC! I bought 2 of each so I could play with them!
Car robots had the best alt modes. They'll never beat those classics.
Hey, great review! Any chance you can review some of the Earthspark figures next?
Its genuinely so upsetting that shadowstriker wasn't made to look like the asymmetrical Frankenstein like she was in cyberverse. Honestly completely turned me off from the figure. Chalked this one up on the board as one of the big misses hasbro has done.
Don't know if anyone else has pointed it out yet, but you can actually store the missile underneath like an exhaust, one leg has two little holes to receive the tabs on the missile
Toy Guy, get rid of those Sideburns!
0:18 What I wanted to hear the most about Legacy Shadow Striker since I have her in my collection
Also fun fact: Regarding the RID 2001 anime, the production for Episode 3 onwards kinda went downhill largely due to 9/11, which began the day after the second episode aired.
Sideburn was the very first transformer I ever had when I was a kid.
I think clear plastic breakages is what spelled the end for my original red Side Burn...
I know the bumper often came off the gun and maybe the rook joint broke but i dunno.
It's been 10-15 years since i lost him BUT i got a new one last year iirc.
You can have the old figure hold both his guns as melee weapons too FYI
I do prefer the look of the old figure, partly from nostalgia and partly because the bulkiness looks reminiscent of samurai armor.
Sideburn
Finally find his red car ❤❤❤
The missle pegs on the bottom of the car to make the ail pipe
The key ideology to modern transformers is sacrifice the vehicle mode even combiner wars vehicle modes get a lot more love than current stuff this video shows that off very well. Not saying it’s a bad thing! I prefer the characters over the cars but it is a thing.
With Legacy Shadowstriker, I for the life of me cannot get the car bonnet tab into the robot thigh cos the tab piece wouldn't go inside as intended (keep going outside)! I had to cut the tabs off and it goes in perfectly!
It just might be I'm lucky but my x brawn and side burn are both perfectly fine and I've had them since 2000/2001. I think there has been some paint chipping but other than that they have been fine, the one I've had looseness and breaking from clear plastic was prowl, I got three different prowls as a kid and the first two broke, so far the third hasn't yet but it has become very lose sadly
I have the Transformers universe black viper repaint of Sideburn And I keep him in his box most of the time because I don't want to risk breaking the figure.
ngl I'm a sucker for the dodge viper and if they do any sort of slight retooling to make it look more like a dodge viper I'll buy one no hesitation
i bought the infamous hasbro version of MP09 and after a year both its arms fell off for no other reason than shoddy materials i managed to get a replacement upper body off ebay i repaired him and put him in storage and i darent look at it never mind pick it up as i know his knees have a bad habit of falling off to . and they say master pieces are the best of the best ! yeah right
Man, the new mold looks cool in robot mode, but man, vehicle mode just kinda sucks. Hope we get some decent remolding to make it look more like a Viper.
what happened to ur discord? says link is invalid
rid 2001 is such a wild rid of designs for me because some of the toys there had siem really good articulations and coule have probs been a 2014 generations mould easily.
I kinda have an issue with how the new mold feels like the chest is forced out too far or the shoulders are set too far back, the overall silhouette just doesn't look as good as the original, but then again the original is a real mess build-wise, you really can't win.
My copy is permanently in vehicle mode now due to its age. The clear plastic sockets and joints are gone or broken. Hope the new one gets some remolding.
The missile can be stored on the leg like a muffler in altmode
0:49 correction, Sideburn *SUPERCHARGED* !!!!
so the red and blue onces are autobots but the purple remodel of the "same?" character is a decepticon?... what?
Shadowstriker done dirty
i would just by it for the dodge viper mode (godamn boi) and paint job
If you've experienced the mold then you know why the seller gave you both. Also there was an all clear plastic version part of a box set with his brothers, I call the box set "The Ticket To TF Hell" cause there all made of nothing but clear plastic! Just Why!
Do t know if I want the shadowstriker or not, I loved the character in cyber verse but I just don't know
Mr. red man kind of looks like hot rod
clear plastic... Definitely the best high quality plastic, we should tell hasbro that...
I bought two just so she can hold two swords... Then a lil kid saw me playing with her and i was intending to have three of each kickbacks at the tIme and i gave him the extra shadow striker because i just can't NOT.. (plus im 42) now i want to get another one to keep in the package.. despite not having a fully closed package nowadays.. ih, amd hose insecti-clones? Turnes out he had two six year old siblings. Yeah.. LoL
Now i want to branch my new collection off and get figures before WFC. I am remembering how much i loved this Sideburn! I had his from every packaging, colors, and even the Takara mold. He seemed to have a better feel ro him. (I felt the Binal tech was better than Alternators as well.. does anyone ever notice that with the diff between Takara and Hasbro? Or is it just holding an over seas figure that has sometimes different paint a trick of light (so to speak)?
Clear plastic is cool so what if it’s brittle, just use baby hands
TJ Omega tried to warn you
I just hope they retool the front end for Sideburn cause it's so ugly. I am also hyped to see how they do the other 2 brothers
