Here we have S-MachAlert with is the second
re-colored Deluxe Car. This re-paint is definitely an improvement from the first
issue which was plain white. This is my favorite re-paint of the three.
As you can plainly see, S-MachAlert has a blue
and white color scheme with gold trim versus chrome. The addition of a blue police
light on the roof really stands out which looks better than two red lights on the first
issue.

Another minor color change is with the flames
on his weapon which is more of an orange to yellow versus a clear-red to yellow.
S-MachAlert has "Police Mach Alert" painted on both doors as well as
"Police" printed on the hood. The word "Police" stands out
through the windshield on his back when in robot mode which is quite neat.
The windows are tinted (clear-smoke) which is
just another modification for the better. As with the first issue, the tires have
the "TRANSFORMERS 2000" imprinted on them. I know there are some collectors out
there who wonder why we call the Car Robots "Transformers 2000" and this is just
proof that Takara came up with the title :)

Overall, I am extremely impressed with this
outstanding piece of work Takara has produced and hope that other future re-paints look as
good as this one! If you've held off from getting the first issue of the Car
Brothers, I highly recommend you not pass up on purchasing Version2 since they are truly
awesome! |
