Talk:Side Burn (RID)

Should this be Side Burn (RiD)? -Derik 02:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

No. All RID pages with tags use "(RID)", or, at least thew should. --FortMax 02:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Apology

I'd swear I read somewhere that the dude who designed Side Burn gave an interview where he apologized for making the transformation so godawful ridiculous. Anyone else remember this? -hx 21:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I remember this too. The same guy designed Armada Red Alert. --M Sipher 21:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

The website it was actually posted on is lost to teh interwebs, but the ATT discussion on the topic is not. - Chris McFeely 22:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Two years later, I do some digging and find this. It's translated (by Excite, of all things?) so there's a bunch of Engrish, but at least there's a link! Onslaught Six 09:33, 18 March 2010 (EDT)

And the original forum post linked in the ATT discussion (via Archive.org). Onslaught Six 09:38, 18 March 2010 (EDT)

Shattered Glass?

Why is the SG Side Burn listed here? I get that there's obviously something mysterious about the guy, but isn't saying SG Side Burn IS RiD Side Burn arriving in this dimension after the Unicron Singularity a bit of a stretch without, you know, proof? --Xaaron 13:52, 1 January 2010 (EST)

We do have one of the SG authors as an active editor, so I've always been willing to assume that our reasoning is thus either correct or the matter's supposed to be intentionally ambiguous (in which case we might as well go with an explanation that fits the tendency for the FunPub continuity to be all interconnected). --Jeysie 17:00, 4 January 2010 (EST)

Or I'm being a bastard. --M Sipher 18:46, 4 January 2010 (EST)

I figured that possibility was covered by "intentionally ambigious". --Jeysie 19:09, 4 January 2010 (EST)

New toy

I am fairly certain his Timelines toy will be a, y'know, Primax/G1 Side Burn. He's gotta get his story told in the club comic, after all, and we know for a fact that the club comic is stuck in WOHverse for several years. Plus we were told that the next few exclusives were part of the same story, and I don't see a universe-hopping RID dude being part of it. I *guess* it's possible that he hops on over from SG or whatever, but it doesn't seem very likely. --ItsWalky 22:30, 1 July 2010 (EDT)

I think you're probably right. Especially since I could swear Pete said there's not going to be any dimension-hopping in this 3-year arc outside of that one bit of finishing off Nexus Prime's thing. Still, guess it couldn't hurt to wait and see what the fiction brings. --Jeysie 12:58, 2 July 2010 (EDT)

It´'s been confirmed today that the new Side Burn is a G1 guy (from the Wings continuity) in addition to being part of the Elite Guard. But since RID is G1 in Japan, I'm a little confused. However, Side Burn (G1) as a page must exist.-ACIDSTORM92 19:49, 1 October 2010 (EDT)

Side Burn is a Knight?

I noticed that Sidburn is in the Knight disambiguation page, but I can't seem to see how or why. Anybody mind helping me out? Amalgamous Prime (talk) 20:19, 6 July 2014 (EDT)

His function according to his tech specs is Speedy Knight. Escargon (talk) 20:24, 6 July 2014 (EDT)

Helpful! However, some times, you just have to question why things are put on tech specs. Thanks! Amalgamous Prime (talk) 21:20, 6 July 2014 (EDT)

Japanese name Speedbreaker

Notes section comments that Side Burn's Japanese name Speedbreaker is a (possibly accidental) synonym for "speed bump", but Wikipedia has a couple other definitions{{#ifeq: Talk||}} for speed breaks in martial arts. Don't suppose anyone knows if that was supposed to be part of the Knight's skill set?
