UPDATE: Scroll to bottom of post for new pictures and info
The modifications I did to the car mode are obvious. I will point out that the reason the pin stripes look crummy is because the masking tape I used doesn't work well for small details like this.  
Secondly, his useless FAKE WHEEL. I hate it. I hate it. I hate. It's not even at least the right size! *face palm*. So to give the darned thing some more life (and give Sideways some more spunk), I turned it into a sword!   
A few things to point out about the sword: The blade is from some kind of Saint Seiya sword (I think). I sliced off a good chunk of it to accommodate the curvature of the wheel; and even then I still sanded away some of the wheel. The two parts were superglued. I still intend to add some bulk to the connection with Aves Epoxy. The wheel is no longer held in place by a screw, but rather is wedged into the socket after being slightly bulked with tape (although this is only a temporary fix; I will probably bulk it up with something better to finish). The wheel-sword is simply removed to allow for transformation.
-----------------------
The sword is now finished.
The silver paint I used kinda sucks a lot, but it's all I had to work with. For later silverifications of toys, I will use better paint.  
Note: No mods were done to Sideswipe. He's only there to show rivalry. |

Its lightyears better than the prior Decepticons like Barricade. Great job on the sword, the flaking and everything to make it look battle damaged/used is nice. I personally would love to take the thing and make it a chainsaw which is what its supposed to be (the Robot Heroes version/FAB versions show a chainsaw), but the sword really makes him a good counter to Sideswipe.  | |

I'm not going to leave it gold-colored. I'm going to paint it silver. I'll post pictures of the finished product tomorrow (when it is finished). Quote:

Don't understand why you hate the extra wheel so much, but your blade mod is very cool though  | |
