Alliance: Autobot
Identification: Autobot Security Director
Year released: 1985
Accessories: rocket launcher, three rockets, particle beam rifle
Comments: I always liked Red Alert. He had a slick design as a Fire Chief's vehicle. While he's basically a repaint of year 1 Sideswipe, Red Alert has a unique look to set him apart.
As I mentioned, his vehicular form is a Fire Chief car. He is mainly white with a red stripe and badge on the side door. He also has red siren lights on his roof. He looks nice and is total opposite in color of his figure counterpart Sideswipe (who was all red).
The transformation is identical to Sideswipe. Nothing spectacular but makes you feel as if you got your money's worth. Once in robot form he has a missile launcher for the shoulder which looks nice. It also actually shoots.....WOW!! :)
Red Alert is a great figure. I think he looks slick in both forms and has nice accessories. A worthy buy for any Transformers collector!!!
Nothing escapes his notice, no matter how small. When his sensors are activated, thinks trouble is coming. Edgy...unpopular with comrades, but appreciated. Can trigger alarms in other Autobots. Excellent sensory perception. Fast in vehicular mode. Carries 25-mile range rocket launcher and particle beam rifle. Prone to rash judgments which can lead to injury to himself and comrades.
