Nabbed him last night and spent ages playing with him while watching the swimming.
I was worried about mold degradation, since the quality of the seekers got worse over time, but other than a very loose waist (which my sunstreaker had as well, but not sideswipe) my copy seems to be in very good condition. The gun does not want to stay clipped into the bottom as the exhaust, but if I was fussed, I could easily fix that with a little shaving down of the plastic.
Paint apps are very good, while I am not a massive fan of the font chosen for the text on the doors, I think the toy would have looked a little plain without it. Full colour light bar is alright, I think all red suits better than having any other colours, but I think having it as light piping/translucent plastic would have been marginally better.
My Red Alert has the most washed out light blue light piping for the eyes of any figure I have ever owned, but I am comparing this to mainly turbomasters/predators who had dayglo light piped eyes...
Overall a solid figure, if you have Sunstreaker/sideswipe/punch-counterpunch or any of the other repaints, you know what to expect (including knowing that the engine does not attach to the gun in any way shape or form.)
