    I'm not 100% sure but I remember reading that the original bios for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker got switched prior to or during production way back when. I don't know if the names got switched too.

    If I recall correctly, Sideswipe was supposed to be the red Sunstreaker and Sunstreaker was originally called Spin-Out and be the figure that eventually became Tigertrack.. Many fans use the name Spin-Out for the red Sunstreaker since it's the only one of the four who never got an official name. (Besides the police Sunstreaker)

    And now I want to see someone do a Red vs Yellow animated series similar to the Red vs Blue Halo series.

    The original licensing agreement between Takara and Hasbro shows that Car Robot No.1 was to stay unchanged (red Sunstreaker) and No.15 was to be the yellow version (Yellow Sideswipe). This original arrangement is probably responsible for the mixed up tech specs, the profiles in the August 1984 Marvel ad/literature and the red TF Sunstreaker and yellow TF Sideswipe on vintage merchandise like wall decorations and lenticular wallets. Not to mention the Milton Bradley Euro Sunstreaker in Sideswipe box. That Marvel literature had Sunstreaker's original name as "Sideswipe" and SIDESWIPE'S original name was "Spin-out". That's why Omnigonix's name for their Sunstreaker annoys me so much :) 

    And caring is half the battle!

    It also explains the inexplicable red stickers on sunstreaker's shoulders. They didn't change the sticker color when they changed the plastic, leaving behind the odd off color rear quarter panel.

    Much as I felt the need to address the question Who Is Tigertrack for the Masterpiece release in 2013, let us now ask Who is Blaze?

    It's also why Bluestreak's "TURBO" stickers have a blue background. They're supposed to blend in, not stand out.

    I am sorry if this has been answered, but has anyone confirmed which accessories are not coming with this figure vs Sunsurge? I hope it still comes with the second set of silver parts.

    Damn it. This thing is hard to ignore.

    Although I buy authentic products for my mainline stuff, I buy kos for my diaclone mps, justified by the fact that takara isn't losing my money because I honestly never would have bought them anyway.

    But then, there is this. It will be a gap. A lovely one that would look great with tigertrack. It is just sitting there, unlikely (hopefully) to get knocked off.
