considering so many of the toys were just repainted molds, ie prowl bluestreak smokescreen, and ratchet ironhide, why would the characters who are TWINS NOT have been the same mold?

Actually, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were not "identical" twins in the Generation One Cartoon, and the toys did reference those differences.

Sunstreaker: "
Sunstreaker transforms into a "Super Tuning" customized Lamborghini Countach LP500S with an exposed rear-mounted engine.

Sideswipe: "
Originally a Diaclone "New Countach LP500S", Sideswipe transforms into well, into that.

Oddly, I think Red Alert, who was the same model as Sideswipe (just with an emergency light bar on top) should have been Sideswipe's twin.
"
Transforming into a Lamborghini Countach fire chief's car, Red Alert's toy is a redeco of the Diaclone "New Countach LP500S Police Car",
which was a retool that added roof lights to the original Diaclone "New Countach LP500S", which was the mold used to make Sideswipe.
Red Alert's alternate mode is a perfect disguise, since many Fire Departments have Lamborghinis as auxiliary vehicles.

Dubai, home of the tallest building in the World and just may vary well be one of the richest areas on the planet has some pretty fancy police cruisers.

Actually having some sports cars in the Highway Patrol Motor Pool, actually makes sense. You can't catch speeding Lamborghini's with a Chevrolet Sedan
But a Fire Department Chief having one, that does seem a bit wasteful, because FD Chiefs usually arrive on scene after the Fire Trucks get to the fire. It would be cool to be drive around in one though.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think the idea of the "Red Alert" character was stupid He just didn't have much of a "disguise" since he would stand out too much.
I think Decepticon Police Car "Barricade" in the new Transformers Movies is one of the greatest Decepticons ever created in the Franchise. Great Anti-Hero disguise. "
