I know it's present on Sideswipe as well, but does the the black trapezium on Tigertrack's roof remind anyone else of the black trapezium on G1 Sunstreaker's roof?
Pure speculation, but what if part of the intention of doing Tigertrack was to test out paints/parts for an MP Sunstreaker release? Just focusing on the roof and window area on Tigertrack - it just looks so much like Sunstreaker. Has anyone else had this thought?

That's present on the 'original' Ehobby Tigertrack.
It's also presumably a carry-over from what the brothers' original decos were supposed to be, before the colour switch.
They also don't need to do a mass-run to test a colour/parts scheme, as that's what test shots are for. It'd also be weird to do one like that with the such a similar car mode.
Precedent also shows that a new character with some retooling, who's from the coveted s1-s2 cast, will get a new number entirely (the Datsuns).
Plus Sunstreaker is a nobody for the Japanese audience, so the only thing he has going for him is the license and that he's from year one.
Frankly, I could see them doing him as a Wheeljack remold/reshell, before using the existing Sideswipe robot tooling.
