Our company is going to a new direction, making kicks from now on, seriously.

Current theory is Sunstreaker.

Theyre kidding right ? This is some kid of silly Asian humor right ?

If theyre really serious and really targeting the hardcore transformer fandom, theyre in for a rude awakening. Ive been to 4 botcons and 95% of the attendees knew nothing about swag. All I saw was dirty old gym shoes, tight dockers shorts, and shrunken Transformers tee shirts that looked like they been in the washing machine 100 times. Including myself, I could count the attendees that dressed with swag on one hand.

Its sunstreaker there is some art work floating about , I would post it but my laptop is funked and I need a new one , so I guess I wont be posting for a while longer

That has to be one of the most American posts I've read on this site. Not taking the p*** at all, genuinely found it amusing. Swag? gym shoes? dockers shorts? I have no ****ing idea what you're on about, but I love it.

Love the way people across the pond develop their own slang and colloquialisms. <insert tea and crumpets reference here>

As for this 3P release....not my thing. I'll pass.

Updated the OP.

You're kidding right? You did read the last line of the OP, right? You do know what a teaser is, right?

I read it and honestly believed they were going to sell urban style athletic shoes. The fact that this could have been typical Asian dry humor never crossed my mind.

Yes im one of the few Americans left on this American based website owned by a guy in the Chicago area. Were the same guys that got amused when a certain group of fans went apes**t because drag strip was going to be named "Spastic".

In case you were genuinely interested in what I was talking about, I was explaining what Ive seen at 4 botcons which pretty much indicates american transformers fans arent very fashion conscious. Especially when it comes to urban style clothes and shoes.

Spastic.

I've been to plenty of conventions to notice that collectors, of various fandoms, aren't the most fashion conscious. Neither am I really, to be honest. Not into the latest fashions or trends. Everyone has their own pleasures though!

Yeah I knew from the first botcon I stepped into that I was in the minority. I even got a few dirty looks like if I didnt belong there because I obviously wasnt into the general culture outside of the toys themselves. Hey but what can I say, I love me some beautiful women so I spoil myself with more than just toys. Appearance is very important to me because I wouldnt give up my social life for all the toys in the world.

No harm done, was funny though

So I'm guessing this will be the better choice for a 3P Sunstreaker? Anyone else have BadCube/Cubex stuff?

I have BadCube's WarHound (Warpath) which is solidly built. It seems that BC releasing a Sunstreaker might be a better choice since Omnigonix doesn't have any past product to compare it to. Who knows when either SS is coming out, but hopefully there will be plenty of reviews to make a decision from.

Or Takara could finally release their own...

There was some discussion about a Takara version due to the similar transformation of Wheeljack and Sunstreaker (just remold it to the Countach with extra bits), and then Tracks/Road Rage show up!! So maybe he's still a few years off. I'm guessing BadCube will target later this year?

Badcube has some proto pics up, if someone wanys to post .

gotta say omnigoniz is looking better imo , I had issues withe theee legs but bc look all sorts of wrong...

We're a lazy bunch...

I think he'll fit very nicely. Not sure about that panel in the back under the taillights but that's just me finding something to nitpick which is probably unnecessary

And thanks necr0 for not being lazy

Purdy....

Apparently he's got a good range of motion in the legs, including ankle tilt for days.

I should probably pick up Sideswipe, since I don't have him yet I'm leaning more towards this version myself but I don't have a pre-order in yet.
