Problem with MP-39 is that the "black" parts are dark grey, so the black Spinout head will look out of place.
I imagine they meant an MP Deep Cover to match with Clampdown. But good to know about the Netflix wave 3 one coming out!!! I love that Siege mold!
Oh. Got my threads mixed up haha. Really disappointed we never got Seige Clampdown, actually. I figured Reprolabels would have made one of their infamous conversion kits for Red Alert, but IMO they are a farcry what they used to be.
Haha, I mix up threads all the time. Yeah, reprolabels can be hit or miss, but.... now you got me thinking I should get a spare Red Alert, just in case. Lol Reeeeeally looking forward to spin out. That Sunstreaker MP mold is by far the best of the car bots.
I’m real keen to see what the hype is about. He does look extremely impressive. But getting it my hands will be something else.
I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it! The only real downside on this figure is the windshield and back pack are a little fiddly, but otherwise he’s a joy all around.
It will be an intense feeling, for sure... kinda like uhh metaphorically opening up a bag of the best chips ever tasted.
If this is out for Halloween, cool. He’ll be coming along with God Neptune. Saturday will be a fun day.
Yeah I did mean the MP since he's been conspicuously missing ever SINCE Clampdown came out. That said I'm still glad we're getting a Siege redeco as well; in general the Diaclone/pre TF love we've gotten lately is great. I haven't gotten any new molds since then barring an MPM or two but I definitely agree with this. IIRC he came not long after Megatron did and he felt like he got the same leap in engineering that MP36 did while somehow being even better articulated. Literally the only thing I can complain about with that figure is that the mirrors are scary and hard to rotate with the window/door and feels like the clip will break when transforming but thus far it hasn't done that.
I’d say they probably didn’t do it because of how similar in color it is to G2 Sideswipe. I myself made a Deepcover back when Siege came out. And when I got the G2 Sideswipe that came in the pack, I realized I had basically made the exact same thing, but with blue instead of red, plus knowing an official Deep Cover was coming I just tossed him in storage.
I mean to be fair isn't Clampdown mostly Red Alert with black replacing red? Seems Deepcover would still be different enough especially with the wind shield colors and standard accessories/tooling replacing the G2 ones. Hypothetically they could even use the Alert tooling for the shoulders.
