Review
Nice solid truck, powerlink at the back deploys the cannon, at the front deploys the disc launcher. The missile launcher detaches to form a gun. I think it was while TF Red Alert I lost the skin on my fingers, there's a lot of panels come close to each other.... Lots of panels to clip and stand minicons on. Backpack's a bit heavy on him.
Red Alert came with Longarm and both were issued in Japan as Micron Legend toy MC-02 Ratchet with Hook
Colour swaps:
blue is replaced by grey,
white by orange,
grey by whitel,
beige by orange &
clear red by clear blue
Powerlinx Red Alert came with Powerlinx Longarm and both were issued in Japan as Micron Legend toy MC-12 Ratchet Supermode with Spark Hook
Prowl is Armada Red Alert repainted in the colour scheme of the Energon Prowl.
Colour swaps: blue is replaced by pale grey,
white by blue,
grey by white,
beige by blue &
clear red by clear blue
Lots of blue here, and generally a nice deco for this mould.
According to Generations 2009 the colour scheme for this toy is inspired by/based on Micromaster Tote rather than G1 Inferno !!! Don't believe me ? 2nd item on the list on p45 in Generations 2009 v2 is this toy - compare the Kanji in the left column with the name of the toy on p42 at the top right. The next column is the Kanji for the G1 toy it's based on - dig out your original copy of Transformers Generations, go to p66, find the Japanese version of Tote and there's the same Kanji.
Colour swaps to make this toy: Blue is replaced by black,
white by red,
grey by red,
beige by grey &
clear red by bright clear blue,
