But I'm guessing that the Prowl repaint will be Red alert.

This was my first thought as well; however, HasTak does do a fair amount of remolding for the initial re-release of a mold. My guess is it will be some kind of street racer and a Decepticon - as there are numerous street racing versions of the RSX already on shelves and the overall street racer image is sort of 'Con-ish.

 

But taking Swerve into account - if they do ever release Red alert, he'll be a simple repaint of Prowl with a different head.

Right, and looking at the newest Alternator, Swerve, who is just a re-color with a new head, the RSX could very simply be Red alert, Streetwise or Stakeout.

 

As far as Red alert is concerned, didn't someone (I think Rodimus VTS) mention a rumor that the Hound mold would see a third release as Red alert? Considering we now got a third (or fourth) Corvette, not something that would be impossible.

 

Personally, I'd much prefer it if they stopped releasing one version of the mold as an Autobot and the other as a Decepticon. Some Decepticon only molds would be nice.

agreed. honda are being hypocritical about it. "we cant let them have guns because it promotes violence". "what about licencing your cars for street racing movies?" "Oh yeah we have no problem with that" :redface
