    I'd be happy with Red Alert and Deep Cover (i think that was his name.. the ehobby Black/blue repaint based off the Lambot hat came with the Powered Convoy giftset).

    I'd pretty much buy any repaint/remold of the mold except for Tigertracks and Red Suntreaker. Too similar.

    I'd end up getting pretty much any Universe SS/SW repaint. :)  I'm already planning on doing the head-swapping trick and I'd probably have a toygasm if/when Red Alert is announced.

    Like pretty much everyone else has said I would take the mold repainted as Red Alert. I also would like to see this mold painted white and blue and made into Stunticon Breakdown.

    I always thought Red Alert was a fire marshal's car not a police car due to the flame and shield on his chest...

    He is.

    I'd say Red Alert (primarily white) and G2 Sideswipe/Clampdown (primarily black).

    With the existing two, that gives you the bases to make minor repaints of pretty much any other version you might want (police Sunstreaker, red Sunstreaker, Tigertrack etc).

    I'm actually tempted to use the switching abilities to revert them back to how the old bios would suggest they should have been, with Sideswipe being the red Sunstreaker, and Sunstreaker being what we now call Tigertrack.

    All of the above?

    I'm cool with the head swap idea to make a 'Red Sunstreaker' and 'Yellow Sideswipe'/Tigertrack on our own.

    Red Alert, yes plz.

    Both molds had the B&W police deco but it only need be done once with this mold. Dunno which head I'd prefer for that though.

    I'd prefer a 'Deep Cover' to G2 Sideswipe for a black deco.

    I'd rather see a Breakdown before Punch/Counterpunch, but wouldn't object to the latter. Unlikely we'll ever get a dedicated mold for him and this lends itself well.


    Since it's highly unlikely those would all get a retail nod, I'd rather Red Alert and Breakdown get retail. 'Clamp Down' and 'Deep Cover' as part of a Diaclone-inspired BC set; one being the shared mold freebie.
    Punch/Counterpunch as a store/club exclusive and/or future line padder repaint.

    I figure we'll get a Universe Red Alert off the Sideswipe mold, and maybe the Hobby Link Japan repaints as exclusives through Takara
