I went to my folks house and was going to bring back the two I have for my kid and ultimately I just left them there lol

At some point, they decided to switch the toys and swap their colors, but the tech specs were not changed.

I knew about all that, I just can't remember whether Sunstreaker or Sideswipe was the name that was originally Spin-out. I figure if Tigertrack is the official yellow Sideswipe name now, then Spin-out can be red Sunstreaker. Especially if that was the original intention.

As a sidenote, I'd also like to suggest Checkpoint for police Sunstreaker.

^ nice. I ignored Micromasters for so many years and recently I've found myself wondering why. They're such pure, simple joy. I've got my Armada Tidal Wave loaded with them now.

In my quest to create my own Abominus, I got G1 Blot in the mail. So far he's probably the best Terrorcon of the bunch.
