here's the problem. In G1, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were brothers.

Alternator 02 Sideswipe is released ... then Dead End is released.




the only problem is ... Dead End has G1 Sunstreaker's head.





From day 1, Dead End was supposed to be Sunstreaker. At the last moment, they decided to make a Decepticon. By doing so, Dead End was the 1st "bad guy" in the Alternators line up.

For years, everybody has been making their own Sunstreakers using Dead End. The yellow Viper is the product of YEARS of bitching and moaning.
