	It's hard to believe that '''Side Burn''' and [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]] are from the same production run. A glitch in the production run caused Side Burn to roll off the assembly line vastly different in appearance from the others, and especially different in personality from Prowl in specific. Side Burn is prone to distraction, uninterested in rules, interested in speed, and ''super'' interested in females. These traits combined get Side Burn into all sorts of trouble, and Prowl feels it falls to him to keep his friend on the straight and narrow. This task may, however, be a fool's errand.

	Side Burn wields a [[plasma rifle]], and his rear-mounted thruster engine can support him in battle either as a weapon or as a jetpack. When the occasion calls for it, he can reveal the [[Sonic Buzz Saw]] in his left arm. There are probably other things he can reveal when other occasions call for it, but let's not talk about that, please.

	At the dawn of the [[Great War (G1)\|Great War]], Side Burn was a young Autobot who had joined the resistance movement against the growing [[Decepticon]] threat. The destruction of the production center that had created him was what had convinced him to join up. {{storylink\|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 39\|Side Burn's profile in Club magazine #39}}

	In order to get sympathy from some [[Red waitress Transformer\|sexy]] [[Road Rage (G1)\|fembots]], Side Burn posed as the survivor of the [[Combaticon (G1)\|Combaticons]]' raid on the [[Cybertron Elite Guard\|Elite Guard]] headquarters. It seemed to be working until [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]] showed up and called Side Burn by name. Since the real survivor's name was [[Dion]], the ladies became less interested. Reminding Side Burn that it was a felony offense to impersonate an Elite Guardsman, Prowl dragged Side Burn away to his real duties elsewhere at the [[Autobot High Council Citadel]]. Side Burn was among the Autobot warriors present when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] accepted his appointment as [[Supreme Commander\|commander]] of the new Autobot military. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 1}}

	~~[[File:BattleLines3-mistakes.jpg\|thumb\|upright=1.67]]~~

	Side Burn was absent from Optimus Prime's mission briefing. When asked about his absence, Prowl believed he knew where he was. It turned out, he was shadowing [[Magnum]] and the Elite Guard as they searched for [[Deathsaurus (Victory)\|Deathsaurus]]. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 2}} Side Burn interrupted their search, claiming to know where their target's newest base was located. Though Side Burn didn't really know, he was loud enough that the Decepticons homed in on them first. The Autobots were suddenly surrounded by an immense Decepticon army led by Deathsaurus' new lieutenant, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]]. Side Burn joined the Autobots in desperately fighting off their attackers, including grabbing [[Blast Off (G1)\|Blast Off]]. But at a crucial moment, he was distracted by [[Lyzack (Victory)\|a hot femicon with a sword]]. Blast Off took advantage of this by shooting Side Burn, lecturing the Autobot on the importance of paying attention. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 3}}

	Thankfully, Side Burn and the others were backed up by reinforcements composed of several of the Elite Guard previously thought dead. In the confusion, Side Burn was able to turn the tables on Blast Off by securing him with [[power bond]]s and sitting on him. Still, Side Burn remained distracted by Lyzack, especially when she started laying into Magnum with her sword, but his painting-her-red fantasies were cut off when [[Thunder Clash\|Thunderclash]] belted her. At that point he realized he was standing right next to [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]], and blasted the Decepticon. The Decepticons retreated and Side Burn returned with the other Autobots to their headquarters. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

	One week later, Side Burn was in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]] with Magnum and Optimus Prime when the pair were interrupted by another Decepticon attack. As they rushed to the walls, they saw them being broken through by the newly created [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]]. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 5}} The ensuing battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons was won in the Autobots' favor, but not without Autobot death. An initiative to gather energy had an Autobot crew formed for the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]''. Side Burn was to be part of it, but a Decepticon attack blocked Side Burn and others from reaching the ''Ark''. Thus forced to wait on Cybertron, Side Burn, with the other Autobots remaining on the planet, went into [[stasis hibernation pod]]s, to preserve the little energy they had left till new sources were found. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

	~~[[File:CommonFoe-Nightracer.jpg\|left\|thumb\|300px\|He's waiting for Nightracer to start dancing on the table.]]~~

	In [[2012]], [[Runamuck (G1)\|Runamuck]] and [[Runabout (G1)\|Runabout]] stumbled on Side Burn's pod and it opened, waking the Autobot. {{storylink\|A Flash Forward, Part 2}} As he turned out to be amnesiac, they took him to meet [[Jhiaxus (G2)\|Jhiaxus]]. {{storylink\|A Flash Forward, Part 3}} Jhiaxus took him to [[Qre]], where Side Burn got very bored and resorted to racing with the Battlechargers. {{storylink\|A Flash Forward, Part 4}} He attempted to hit on [[Nightracer (G2)\|Nightracer]], only to be rebuffed with a comment that he was a little young for her. Undaunted and egged on by Runabout, Side Burn went after her. {{storylink\|A Flash Forward, Part 5}} When Jhiaxus's base was destroyed, Side Burn suddenly regained his memory. He was able to talk Nightracer into joining the Autobots, and persuaded the Battlechargers that they would be treated leniently if they turned themselves in. Back on Earth, he followed up that promise by speaking up for the pair to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink\|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

	[[Rhinox (TransTech)\|Rhinox]] and [[Prowl (TransTech)\|Prowl]] saw Side Burn in 2012 on a computer screen as Rhinox noted that Side Burn's home universal stream, [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon]], was unaffected by the multiversal chaos triggered by [[Invasion (issue)\|Primax 207.0 Epsilon's destruction]]. {{storylink\|Invasion: Epilogue}}

	Side Burn participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! He was an Rare character that could be recruited by collecting 90 units of Cybermetal, 45 units of Transmetal, and 25 scout cores. {{storylink\|Transformers: Battle Tactics}}

Side Burn's rear-mounted thruster engine becomes a hand-held weapon in [[robot mode]], launching a spring-loaded missile, or can remain attached to his back to act as a jetpack. His left arm hides a flip-out (non-spinning) buzzsaw.

	: Side Burn is the [[2011]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] free figure, mailed to new or returning club members who got their registration in by [[March 16]], 2011. Due to customs delays, he was ultimately shipped to members in late July/early August. The remaining stock was put on sale at the Club store on [[August 17]], and sold out in under three hours. Due to insufficient packaging, many Side Burns arrived with their spoiler tips bent. Like many later versions of the Rodimus toy, Side Burn sadly suffers from a loose left arm and an unstable backpack.

	:A noticeable percentage of Side Burns sent to international club members took an ''exceptionally'' long time to arrive, but most (or all) did eventually turn up, a full month or more after the advertised latest possible delivery date. Fun Publications won itself no praise by selling the excess stock of the figure through their store half a month before the actual delivery deadline was even up.

	: This mold was also used to make ''Timelines/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)\|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]] and ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)\|Gentei! Gentei!]]'' [[Wildrider (G1)#Gentei! Gentei!\|Wildrider]].

	~~==Notes==~~
	*''Car Robots'', the Japanese version of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)\|the 2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon]], is regarded as part of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]] and the [[Primax]] [[universal cluster]]. However, ''Robots in Disguise'' itself constitutes a different continuity family and is designated as the [[Viron]] universal cluster. To prevent duplication of information, see [[Side Burn (RID)~~#2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon]] for "Generation 1" Side Burn/Speedbreaker's exploits in the cartoon.~~
	*[[Megatron (G1)\|Megatron]] shows off the Side Burn toy in "[[Mega Spice -- The Transformer Your Fan Could Be Like]]".
	*Side Burn's profile card is full of fragment sentence errors, plus it uses "can't" when it wants to use "can", rendering its opening sentence nonsensical.
	*On top of that, even though the toy was advertised as "Side Burn" (two words) on the Collectors' Club website, the profile card prominently features his name as "Sideburn" (one word) with a "registered [[trademark]]" ® after it. Whoops. The profile text itself refers to him as "Side Burn" twice.

At the dawn of the [[Great War (G1)\|Great War]], Side Burn was a young Autobot who had joined the resistance movement against the growing [[Decepticon]] threat.

	In order to get sympathy from some [[Red waitress Transformer\|sexy]] [[Road Rage (G1)\|fembots]], Side Burn posed as the survivor of the [[Combaticon (G1)\|Combaticons]]' raid on the [[Cybertron Elite Guard\|Elite Guard]] headquarters. It seemed to be working until [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]] showed up and called Side Burn by name. Since the real survivor's name was [[Dion]], the ladies became less interested. Reminding Side Burn that it was a felony offense to impersonate an Elite Guardsman, Prowl dragged Side Burn away to his real duties elsewhere at the [[Autobot High Council Citadel]]. Side Burn was among the Autobot warriors present when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]] accepted his appointment as [[Supreme Commander\|commander]] of the new Autobot military. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 1}}		In order to get sympathy from some [[Red waitress Transformer\|sexy]] [[Road Rage (G1)\|fembots]], Side Burn posed as the survivor of the [[Combaticon (G1)\|Combaticons]]' raid on the [[Cybertron Elite Guard\|Elite Guard]] headquarters.

	Side Burn was absent from Optimus Prime's mission briefing. When asked about his absence, Prowl believed he knew where he was. It turned out, he was shadowing [[Magnum]] and the Elite Guard as they searched for [[Deathsaurus (Victory)\|Deathsaurus]]. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 2}} Side Burn interrupted their search, claiming to know where their target's newest base was located. Though Side Burn didn't really know, he was loud enough that the Decepticons homed in on them first. The Autobots were suddenly surrounded by an immense Decepticon army led by Deathsaurus' new lieutenant, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]]. Side Burn joined the Autobots in desperately fighting off their attackers, including grabbing [[Blast Off (G1)\|Blast Off]]. But at a crucial moment, he was distracted by [[Lyzack (Victory)\|a hot femicon with a sword]]. Blast Off took advantage of this by shooting Side Burn, lecturing the Autobot on the importance of paying attention. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 3}}		Side Burn was absent from Optimus Prime's mission briefing.

	Thankfully, Side Burn and the others were backed up by reinforcements composed of several of the Elite Guard previously thought dead. In the confusion, Side Burn was able to turn the tables on Blast Off by securing him with [[power bond]]s and sitting on him. Still, Side Burn remained distracted by Lyzack, especially when she started laying into Magnum with her sword, but his painting-her-red fantasies were cut off when [[Thunder Clash\|Thunderclash]] belted her. At that point he realized he was standing right next to [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Starscream]], and blasted the Decepticon. The Decepticons retreated and Side Burn returned with the other Autobots to their headquarters. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 4}}		Thankfully, Side Burn and the others were backed up by reinforcements composed of several of the Elite Guard previously thought dead.

	One week later, Side Burn was in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]] with Magnum and Optimus Prime when the pair were interrupted by another Decepticon attack. As they rushed to the walls, they saw them being broken through by the newly created [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]]. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 5}} The ensuing battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons was won in the Autobots' favor, but not without Autobot death. An initiative to gather energy had an Autobot crew formed for the ''[[Ark (G1)\|Ark]]''. Side Burn was to be part of it, but a Decepticon attack blocked Side Burn and others from reaching the ''Ark''. Thus forced to wait on Cybertron, Side Burn, with the other Autobots remaining on the planet, went into [[stasis hibernation pod]]s, to preserve the little energy they had left till new sources were found. {{storylink\|Battle Lines, Part 6}}		One week later, Side Burn was in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]] with Magnum and Optimus Prime when the pair were interrupted by another Decepticon attack.
