The Heroic Duo Custom Kit was created by Beelzeboss. It was intended to make toys using the Universe Red Alert and Sideswipe look more like their animation models. The set contains:

  • New head for Red Alert
  • Red Alert's shoulder-mounted missile launcher
  • Red Alert's high-energy particle beam rifle
  • Sideswipe's piledriver (x2)
  • Sideswipe's shoulder-mounted launcher (different mold from Red Alert's)
  • Siderwipe's photon rifle
  • Shoulder add-on unit (used to fit the missile launcher and more closely resemble the Generation 1 style)
