Where does the small silver weapon attach in car mode, if anywhere?

That gun doesn't attach, as far as I know. I've got both Speedbreaker and SG Sideburn and neither showed how to atach it anywhere.

Yeah, didn't think so. I just stuck it into the back where the missile launcher is, so now he looks like he has an oversized chrome trailer hitch. Really weird on a sports car.

I never could figure that out, but I place it in the car, between the feet and the roof. Fits like a gloooooove.

Really? Unfortunately I chose to part ways with mine but if I remember correctly I got the Takara Sideburn and I could have sworn there is a peg on the back side of the waist. That is where the gun is stored either vertical or horizontal when in alt mode and it should do so nicely. I'm curious to know about the Hasbro version. :-?

Yeah, it fits onto a peg on the back of the waist. I have the red Hasbro version of the guy and that's how it works.

I just kept it in the car for a while, though you can peg it to the waist that ends up in the underside of the car.

But being so tiny, It was sure to get lost, So I moved it to the weapon drawer, with the rest of the tiny tiny weapons.

Most notably RiD Hightower's tiny tiny little black pistol I knew was sure to get lost.

I've been meaning to get the Blue regular Side-Burn so I can display Regular and Super Side Burn, with Classics Rodimus, and the collectors club exclusive Side Burn repaint of him side by side. I'm sure it would look very cool.

I have the red repaint of Hasbro Sideburn. No peg on the waist. Maybe it's on the top, but it's not on the bottom. Not even broken off, it's just not there.

There's a Peg on the back of the waist in robot mode. On Mine it ends up in the under side, you can peg the gun to that.

I though you had the Blue version since you mentioned the silver weapon. The one that came with the Red repaint "Super Side Burn" is gold.

Hmm. I must have the waist the wrong way. The car mode is still together right, but I'm not transforming it to fix it because this figure is kind of a pain in the ass to put in car mode...

Its a little odd, but once you get the hang of it its not so bad. And you get a beautiful, fully licensed Dodge Viper mode. Awesome.

Anyway, looking closer at my figure it seems I'm the one that has it backwards, as the peg drags on the ground, and I don't think it should.

I swapped the legs around at the hips. Easy task since they are ball joints, and yes the peg is now inside the car.

When I still had Sideburn I found his transformation really easy, thats what I thought anyway! Before the TFCC version came along it would have been awesome to see this TF from the RID line to get a new mold! :VEHI:
