Masterpiece Sideswipe or Red Alert?

TwilightNero · 06-16-2012, 02:07 AM

Honestly, If I get one, I'll probably get both....hopefully both get US release

I thought Red Alert has the same design,from the pics I've seen they look identical.Do you know if there's any difference?

I want Takara's Red Alert. Especially after seeing the spark attachments that go on his head. Lol.

This is exactly what I'm planing on doing actually.

I voted "neither," but I'll add the proviso: if it should come to pass I see one of them on a US shelf for a price that I can shell out on impulse, I'll probably end up with one. Very pretty, especially the car mode.

Can't afford to be all-in on MPs though, and these two characters are low-priority.

Sideswipe is priority out of the two.

I actually think Red alert lks nicer despite it being the same mould lol. Either way both have been pre-ordered.

I don't consider that 'weapons storage' at all frankly, it's just a happy accident that the gun/launcher can use the same roof attachment that RA's light-bar uses. Certainly no bearing on my decision... Which is I gotta get (i.e. can't resist) both!

Different shoulder piece to better represent the two distinct toon models. Haven't spotted any other differences yet.

The light bar has it's own peg hole for the weapons.
