    Which shoulder should Sideswipe's shoulder cannon be placed? Which is more accurate, or appear more frequently?

    I've looked at a dozen pictures online, and they vary depending on the figure. MP has it one way, G1 toy has it another, e-Hobby drawing has it on the left, etc. Is there a "correct" location?

    Where does he wear it in the cartoon? That's the correct answer.

    I want to say Sideswipe wore his on the right shoulder and Red Alert wore his on the left.

    Yes, I value accuracy. As of this morning, I've switched all my Sideswipe's shoulder gun from the right to the left. Thanks, everyone!

    Original instructions art show right. Toy transformation shows left. Cartoon shows left.

    Whatever floats your boat. I usually do the right as the box art stands out the most..
