Darth Sidious Rework Idea

Not bad, just keep in mind he wasn't a Separatist. He wasn't truly on either side of the Clone Wars, he was more like the person who manipulated everything behind the scenes with the intentions of causing both the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Separatists in order to eliminate any competition to his future Empire. Given this, maybe he could work with Separatists and/or Clone Troopers in some way/shape/form?

That is true, from a certain point of view. Honestly I can understand where you come from. As there are really good arguments for him both having and not having the tag. However, I went with the option where he is technically a Separatist because of 1 simple reason: The dark side Geonosian Territory battle.
As you can probably guess by his lead, he is designed to excel at battles that last a long time. In fact, my reworks of Sidious and Maul where both designed to excel at long battles with many enemies, aka territory battles (and some raid phases). So I went with the view that, since he is Dooku's master, and is giving him and the Sepratists orders, he technically is a Separatist. So that he has the tag and thus gains the most advantages during the dark side Geonosian territory battle.
What I don't agree with thou is the clone synergy. This is Darth Sidious during the Clone wars. The clones weren't on his side at all until order 66, which this version is still a long time away from. Maybe they where allies of Sheev Palpatine, but they definitely weren't of Darth Sidious. The may have been the same person, but they where different persona's. Maybe a Chancellor Palpatine (ep3) kit could have clone synergy, or a Darth Vader (young) kit, (or a better name for them) but not this one.
