Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Doesn't really answer my question Bee. So you dislike this back pack because it's too big?Bumblebee21 wrote:Sunsurge has a backpack but nowhere as big as that one

No. I think that is a fair criticism. But it seems like the existence of a back pack at all, seems to put off a lot of folks.Bumblebee21 wrote:Look at most of the deluxe bees.that's a backpack.
This just does look clean to me.

Cobotron wrote:OK. Even Jazz and Sideswipe have their wind shilds on their pack in those drawings. which I consider to be a back pack.
And that reminds me Cyber P. Suntreaker's pack is really kind of one of those iconic details for the character. Like the Seekers shoulder vents, or the Datsons' door wings.
So then I ask again, where does the criticism of back packs come from? Just trying to wrap my mind around it.
And not to beat the poor dead horse, but by golly I love the over all silhouette of Sunstreaker, but the head just kills it for me. PLEASE Takara, do some Diaclone homage with a toy accurate head and will buy it with out hesitation.

I just don't get it. 98.6% of every Transformers toy I have handled/owned over the last 32 years has a pack pack of some kind. To me it just comes with the territory. I mean I guess I could think of a few that are over the top or cumbersome, but what exactly do those who dislike back packs expect?
I'm not trying to be an asshat. It's a criticism that never crossed my mind until I entered the fandom and heard it from others.
