FoC Sideswipe with a blue head?

Saw this at Wal*Mart today. At first I thought someone at the factory just stuck a Jazz head on it by mistake but it's actually the right head mold just in a shade of blue about the same as Jazz's.
The packaging wasn't quite intact but it was also messed up on another Sideswipe so it might have just been from a crushed case or something. Does this head belong to another figure? I can't imagine why someone would go to the trouble of swapping the heads.

Looks like it might actually be the head mold from Generations Red Alert but I have no idea if it was ever used for another TF in blue.

Good luck with that.

Looking at FoC Sideswipe, that's definitely not the same head mold... The "horns" on this blue head are longer.
Curiouser and curiouser...

So you admonish me for my post by quoting it?
Brilliant.

Pretty crazy stuff man! I wonder if that's a factory error, odd as hell running change, or a really good repack and return using a head from someone's failed custom

Sounds like a party. So if there were two of these and the packaging is opened on both, why would you not use deductive reasoning?
I'm with FellintoOblivion. Why are you being so obnoxious? What's your problem? This is a friendly forum.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I never said there were 2 like this or that the package was open.
The factory tape was still intact and where the bubble is slightly coming off the card near the top and bottom doesn't actually allow access to the figure. Looks like it might just be faulty glue application or something.

I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong. Not that it makes it right but most of my social interaction these days is online. It makes me combative. I apologize for that.

Given that a Mod was already present in this thread to deal with a report, only to come back afterwards to find ANOTHER report, I'm just going to go ahead and lock it.
