The Energon Pub

But a friend of mine was showing me his collection of G1 Transformers (which of course inspired much jealousy and thoughts of thievery :grin:

) but my eye caught something that was a little strange. It was a lone Sunstreaker figure but instead of being the classic yellow, it was red.

And before you say that I must have been hallucinating and what I really saw was Sideswipe, let me tell you that it was Sunstreaker. It had the whole rear chrome motor/blower portion that you flip backwards for the head.

Maybe this is a common thing but I'd never heard of it.

So I ask this, fellow Seibertronians: Have you seen this figure before?

Why didn't you ask him?

I have no idea, but this sounds interesting. More Investigation is required! Will keep an eye on this topic.

No.

Though the question has been answered, if you didn't know about the red Diaclone Sunstreaker, you probably didn't know about the police version either:

They also made a "Police Jazz", but I've only seen one pic of it(might as well look that up).

*Edit* Found the pic. It IS a custom(dang, I need to start reading more closely). Pics show up at the end of this article anyway:

And while we're on the subject, let's throw in the theory that the molds for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker got mixed up. Which would explain why Sideswipe's bio mentions a rocket pack and piledrivers, even though those features are easier to picture on Sunstreaker.
