One one hand, it seems like this 2004 Double Clutch should be a commonly used figure. He's a solid update to a classic character. The figure is both common and cheap. And, Double Clutch fits with a wide array of figures from the entire line's history. Instead, he's an obscure version of a beloved character that appears infrequently at best. Much of this is due to the fact that the mold isn't great. Double Clutch is somewhat awkwardly designed and his parts make him appear barrel chested.
The other thing that doesn't help Double Clutch is that he lacks a signature vehicle. The 2004 VAMP seems like an obvious choice for him. But, because the VAMP was built for skinny 1982 figures and Double Clutch uses the bulkier parts from 1993, he's not a great fit with the classic jeep. Double Clutch really needed a repainted Mudbuster or Badger to operate. With this, the figure would have had a more noble purpose and likely would have found more use.
So, here's a bit of content about this figure that I could find.
