X-Brawn, Prowl & Sideburn - Transformer R.I.D.
The Autobot Brothers are three very unique figures. This review covers the Japanese verisons of the figures but they are exactly the same in the USA. In Japan these characters were know as Wildrider, MachAlert and Speedbreaker.

I remember when my uncle gave me my first transformer, it was side burn, took me forever to figure out the transformation on my own
Sideburn is actually my favorite transformer I own. I wish there were more complicated ones out there like him.
man this kicked me in the nostalgia. i remember having x-brawn when i was younger.

these guys really bring back memories. RID was the first time I got into Transformers toys, though Beast Wars/Machines was what introduced me to the series

Same here along with the Unicron Trilogy :)
The hood of the car in Prowl's robot mode can be tucked into his back
i have them but the powered up versions still i love them
So much nostalgia, thanks for the upload. I remember having all three when I was a kid but they all had missing pieces of course
My favorite was probably Omega prime or prowl
love this group! thanks for always bringing us more content!
Your supposed to push the bonnet section into the square hole in his torso before pushing the waist up for Prowl, also for X-Brawn you forgot to fold his back wheels into his shins
FIY: The ones in the thumbnails are Hasbro version. The ones Baltmatrix was reviewing are Takara version. Simple! Takara versions only had faction symbols in Robot mode.
sideburn has always been my favorite since he was the dumbass of the three XD that and iv always liked his aesthetic i like the character so much i have my own fan fiction of him and the brothers :) i may have to find these guys online now

He fel in love with a red sports car in one of the episodes
baltmatrix transforms X-Brawn (Wild Ride), and Sideburn (Speed Breaker) without popping off!
11:20 If you fold up the hood before you slide the legs up it actually compresses much neater and tighter into his body.
If you watch closely at the video, he is trying to collapse the kibble on Prowl's back, but doesn't know how.
Is it possible to take sideburns hood and doors section down to make that movie crosshairs look? It would limit some articulation but I would prefer doing that than having that weird backpack
If they ever make a masterpiece of sideburn, then we all know what we need after that: MP Red Sports Car, not transformable.
I come from germany and live there and as i was in Italia with my family i saw the police Lamborginy i hope i wrote it right. But it looks awesome i understand not why they have it but i was told it is more as promo for the police and works as so they have only 2 of them, and they look so cool it was a joy to sea them. Mfg.

I had power when I was probably just three and maybe all of them including Optimus and Ultra Magnus
Actually, the release of RID Megatron and Galvatron were both the retooled (albeit VERY slightly) Car Robots Gigatron/Galvatron mold. The retool added a pair of tabs for the... "mammoth" mode. No big loss if all you have is the original. It's still doable, it just doesn't have anywhere to connect firmly.
Does Prowl(the police car) have fold out magnifying lens in the car bits that are hovering over his shoulders?

Sorry to disappoint. No. (I own the Universe 03 Inferno deco)
It's not an issue.Just transformed it wrong.I have X-Brawn and Prowl but I still need Sideburn.You should fold the bumper in and it has to show on the torso then you fold the hood down.
I have the Sideburn version of Speedbreaker. I like how these three look like real cars in alt mode. Almost like a precursor to the alternators line
Actually the US version of X-Brawn IS different. There are no tail lights and the headlights have been mostly painted over, leaving small round headlights instead of the normal ones.
All the kibble+ball joints+parts of alt modes becoming arms and such reminds me a lot of Beast Wars figures, just with vehicular alt modes instead of animals.
How do I buys these toys in 2019 I want wild rider
You forgot to say Speedbreaker gets a powered up form too, never mind. The CGI was used to make the intro cooler, but were also re-used for the break bumpers between commercial breaks.
I had been investigating and it seems the car was picked for two reasons: It looks cool and fast, which is a deterrent for other people; and not only it works on police issues, but also for medical emergencies, like organ transport for hospitals. Yeah, some Italian's new heart was probably transported from the other side of the Boot Country by Prowl... Yeah... It also seems that, every once in a while, Lamboghini donates a pair of their cars to replace the one they sent before, just like normal police do with their own cars when they have the money (difference: Lamborghini DONATES his vehicles, so it costs the Polizia zero Euros to renew the fleet).
I actually liked this line because they got as close to G1 as you could possibly get. I have x Brawn in the Wheeljack Color Scheme, and the Blue version of Prowl. I have the Blue Sideburn. All great figures. Personally, I wish we had more figures like this,

Well x-brawn/ wild ride originally was going to be made into a trailbreaker but they lost rights or something so they made him into ratchet

Yep, that was 3H's original intention, and Hasbro had the same idea for the mass retail Universe assortment, but of course, this was back when Hasbro didn't have the trademark.
exactly what i was thinking, thats what the hole in the torso is for, it totally folds flat under the roof/windscreen
Great review Is your Speedbreaker missing his pistol? I have the Shadowstriker and Roulette botcon set and I love those two.
The red repaint of sideburn was my first ever transformer. I still prefer the red version over the blue because of that, eventhough blue is my favourite colour.
My favorite out of the three Autobot Brothers is X-Brawn :)
The Shellformer aesthetic was big in Japan in the 90's. Look at the Japanese Beast Wars series: they gave us Big Convoy. And dear lord, Dead End...
ya, somebody has likely mentioned this, but wildrider actually has some molding differences so he looks alot less like the mercedes, they of coarse where all stamped with big red autobot insignias
I've heard the the reason there were Lamborgini police cars in Italy for emergencies such as heart transplants and other things of that nature. The same article said that one of the two made was involved in an accident.
you have prowl transformed slightly off. Prowl's back part (hood of the car) is supposed to collapse in on itself and go in the little box hole.
I have all three brothers with all accessories and the only yellowing is on the guns for prowl.
Pretty crazy figures no matter how you look at them. X-Brawn's mould would've worked well for a Hellboy transformer crossover methinks. If they switched the arms ofc. Still... 8 years since the review and longer still since I once owned X-Brawn.
Prowl is supposed to have an autobot logo on his hood, I got mine as a kid and he had that detail what happened to it
Hey Balt is there a name for the red version of sideburn
Neat review as always, but you forgot a few steps on Prowl/Machalert. You can collpase the entire hood by that double-hinge just before you collapse the crotch into the body. Then the windshield can be tucked downwards aswell, creating a very neatly organised back.
pop a balljoint.. is that like popping your spine when you've been sitting at the computer all day?
I got speed breaker, i remember getting it as a kid, geez did it take me ages to transform him.
looking forward to his review
so sideburn is basically Smokescreen and X Brawn is Bluestreak
I like Side Burn. The blue version reminds me of Tracks and the red version is like Hot Rod. Odd that he doesn't actually have his own color scheme, he just seems to steal his colors from other characters. He's also notorious for being one of the only kid friendly characters who isn't yellow.
In the show, they were powered up versions.
I love these guys, but there are a few differences to the USA/UK ones. Prowls chest isnt clear for a start, X-Brawn has molding differences on the headlights and a few other bits. all done to avoid having to pay mercedes royalties. i dug mine out and have found that both my std and supercharged prowls are broken in the same way the ball joints on the doors are cracked, so a word of warning DO NOT PACK HIM IN ROBOT MODE ALWAYS FOLD HIM UP.
What Happened to X-Brawn's right hand?
when you transform prowl push the hinge connected to the bumper thought the hole before pushing up the legs to reduce the kibble
I'm surprised there weren't/aren't more tf suvs given their rise in popularity
I like the asymmetry of these guys.
actually its not, the RID megatron is car robots galvatron but in the megatron colours so he has the extra hinges for all 10 modes
Mach Alert & Speedbreaker have the most complex transformations.
Where is Speedbreaker's blade/pistol?
I know CA highway patrol has several lamborghini's and RISP are looking into the idea of getting a few as well
The visor on speedbreaker reminds me of dragonball
Machalert and wildrider were the two i had, i remember seeing all of them. But! Wildrider had a ball joint on the waist if i remember correctly. I somehow had parts broken on it when i had it and i lost the top. Other then that, they are fairly similer to the amarican versions
Because they wanted to make it 3D for the intro just as a way to show they could make 3D like the Americans. Honestly, it wasn't that bad considering this is Japan circa Beast Machines.

White people aren't even really true Americans, they're actually illegal European immigrants.
How is it, that modern Transformations got easier, and require fewer steps, and yet the figures ended up better looking with less kibble in both modes.
Hey baltmatrix the transformers rid characters names are side burn, x brawn and prowl
in robots in disguise it is Prowl, X-Brawn and Sideburn
Weren't they like the only autobots in the R. I. D. series to NOT combine
Ahhh. Asymmetry! Can someone tell if I spelled that right?
Prowl, X-Brawn, and Side Burn. I was lucky enough to have these guys as a kid. They're great figures. Plus they can fit on Ultra Magnus's vehicle mode. (\I I/)
I've got these guys at Cherry Bomb Toys, other then my Prowl being broken, there all good plus I got the red sideburn as well, I want to go again, especially with my Birthday Money LoLz
I use to have Speedbreaker/Sideburn and my only gripe with him was transforming him. My least favorite transformation to do in that line has to be Optimus and Magnus in their combined mode. Great review as usual, though.
It was called the super charged mode.
hey baltmatrix you messed up in transforming mach alert. what you are supposed to do is have the hinges for the hood fold into the chest cavity then push the waist up
hate to correct you but the US is the galvatron mold which has some differences from japan megatron
I think I know which brothers that combine your talking about... And I hope I'm right!
Can you please use their show names
Was that prowls vehicle mode in g1.

I think I know who those guys are. ;) I'll be looking forward to it. :)
we just dont get toys like this animore, i dont know why but ever since prime the toys have a... different feal to them
actualy no car robots megatron aka gigatron has five modes while in the u.s. we got the hyper gigatron mold wich has ten modes
Your Wildrider is misssing his fist.
Police car rockets are cool. The Lamborghini was thought to be better for catching criminals during Police high speed chase
Oddly enough I actually liked the design of prowl the most
man Side Burn can be redecoed into Lockdown or Axor
My dad bought me all 3 and I was the happiest kid ever!!!
oh you didnt fold x-brawns rear wheels over either, they collapse to the front
speed breakbreaker is my favourite and I have had no issue with him
When you realize RID prowl/mach alert could be repainted into crosshairs
I'm also willing to sell, bought them myself from Walmart years ago.
I wanna admit, it's a sin not to have Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus if you have JRX and the Autobot Brothers in your possession. They are the most prominent Autobots in the series, and it's too jarring without their Supreme Commander.
This is a Japanese version
The ones i had were in a diff colour.
You called all of them the wrong name it’s prowl x brawn and side burn
The super mode paint job of Wildrider looked more like Wheeljack's g1 paint job
