I wasn't saying Red Alert shouldn't be done. I was just saying that it shouldn't be done like Skywarp or Thundercracker, who both had their own MP number.
Sunstorm doesn't have its own number (it has Starscream's number, with s on the end)... just like the other redecos you mentioned - which was my point. If they are significant enough characters, they deserve their own (starting) MP number. Less significant characters should, and do, get a letter attached to someone else's number.

The importance of the numbering is subjective, but to me I feel that it shouldn't be blown out like the original series of JP Gen1 toys... it should be a small, select number in the Masterpiece line (like a Hall of Fame), and the numbering should reflect that - which it has, since we are only up to 11 after 10 years... averaging a new MP number each year.
