Help Omnigonix pick the head for their upcoming Sunstreaker style figure, vote A,B or C below!

Is the creator watching this thread or should we be casting our votes in a specific place?

Also, A and C appear to be identical, just facing opposite/different angles.

Anyway, A and C are the most show accurate so either of those would probably be my pick.

It looks like A is wider/has more breadth, while C is a bit narrower.

over at TFW Omnigonix wants feedback on A or c, As B is already definate. He's planning 2 heads with multiple faces.

I'd chose, A over C, As, A ,has wider ears.

Looks like the thin lips and tiny eyes have beemn fixed on the face. the lips and eyes are now bigger whick looks better.

It's great that Omnigonix is willing to get feedback from fans and change his product to please buyers.

Think this Omnigonix Sunstreaker is one of the better 3rd party products on this front page. Plan to buy it if the price is low and reasonable.

Hinted at that the exhaust pipes are going to become longer.

Even though I don't give a crap about MP scale figures...Ill put my vote for Head B.

Sunstreaker is a RARE instance where I prefer G1 toy accuracy over G1 cartoon accuracy.

Sunstreaker's cartoon accurate head reminds me of this...



Or even worse, this...

Haven't a clue what the last face is suspose to homage.

Is SXS helping create this toy? I ask because the Robot heads options seem similar to the SXS Citizen stacks multiple heads. Noticed both the Citizen and Sunstreaker heads include the base robot helmet with multiple replacements heads. Sunstreaker here appears to have mutiple replacements helmet side horns-ears. While Citizen has that attachements sun glasses and face plate.

I'm a definate buyer for this.

Great effort but I'm speculating Tomy has the original 'Streaker in the pipeline.

Just noticed Pic A, now has a missing Beard or Square chin. Think that Egytpian statue like boxy chin beard thing needs to be put back on the robot face. Without it, The robot face looks duffy, less bright, less serious, Younger and more ugly.

Last I read the designs are finalized. Pretty sure we are getting both styles of faces and several ear choices. 16 different combos choices I believe.

Guessing that Omnigonix might releases more different styles of faces and ears with future versions. Perhaps even make more money just releasing the head in a kit with diffrent options on it.

Doing that IDW Transforming Headmaster for later versions with battle damage paint would be a nice later version. Maybe even also release this IDW Headmaster in it's own kit also.

If buyers can buy multiple different alternate toys lines versions of TF Characters. Then I see no problem with me, owning both the IDW Omnigonix and the HasTas MP Sunstreaker toy versions at the same time. Price won't be high due to scale.

This Omnigonix version appears to have a newer lamborgini design. While the MP version if it gets made will have a lamborgini design older than 1984.

I'm gonna put this guy in my classics collection . i'm sick of deluxe Autobots i need some bulk added to the ranks . I only have a couple of Voyager Autobots and since i don't care for scale i'm gonna start using these 3rdp "Masterpiece" sized figures as sort of a regular size in my collection so this and SXS Blurr will sit fine next to Gen Springer and Whirl Rhinox and eventually Roadbuster .

One of the faces coming with the figure is the battle damage face. Not sure if you saw the picture they provided..

I buy 3rd party products 'cause stoopid Hasbro/Tomy won't release the ones I love but when Roadbuster was released(Hasbro) at a cheaper price, the incentive to get FPs version all but evaporated.

Again, not putting down the product as it looks good and I appreciate the effort but if the official rev get released........is there an incentive to get this?

To me this is a voyager nothing more which is why i can easily put them in my classics collection.

The Mp line is a different collection so i would buy an official Sunstreaker aswel , were as the two Roadbusters are for classics so i guess it was an easy option to pick the cheaper especially when Hasbro had the better look for me .

I don't get this "MP" scale that gets thrown around , the only figures that can be truly said to
be MP scale are like Optimus Starscream Soundwave etc that's what i call mp scale.

Calculating that Takara's MP TF plate is full at least until 2016. They still need to release MP 20, 21, 22 and 23. Hard to believe they won't want to do a MP Victoryleo next to combine with Starsaber. The repaints and retools using these Sculpts will further delay Sunstreaker.

Takara might not even be able to make a MP Sunstreaker if the Lamborgini company refuses to allow all those custom parts on the car mode.

With MP Rodimus and now MP Ultra Magnus. The Takara interest to create a MP Galvatron must have increased more, Since there all Rivals. Recent takara interview revealed the Takara Designers interest and hints to create more Decepticon MP TF toys. Can only imagine Galvatron is high on the Create list. A MP Galvatron will further delay a MP Sunstreaker.
Unless ofcourse its a remold of sideswipe or wheeljack that will upset some but get this toy released faster.

Looks pretty good. Three issues I have - His back is completely hollow. I have never heard of this 3P company before. I am holding out for Takara MP Sunstreaker. Is that a lost cause?

I don't think it's a lost cause. Just may be a couple years out, so if you don't feel like waiting...

Nice!! Next big item on my list..

This toy is a winner. Can't wait to buy it. Think it's tons better than most stuff on this front page.

Not bad! Some of the proportions look a little wonky like head, arms, chest but maybe it is the angle and rendering.

Looks like these are the final renders for Spinout .

Diaclone red sunstreaker was my first transformer ever (which I still own) With that being said, I really feel putting a sunstreaker engine on top of a regular Lamborghini Countach was just plain lazy. The diaclone alt mode was based off a Countach, but was a totally different car. It didnt have the air intakes and had a flip up cockpit. It also had a chromed out spoiler and a totally different tail light scheme on the rear. In essance, it was supposed to be a space age version of the Countach. Those features are what gave sunstreaker a distinctive alt mode. These guys killed it by going for the "twins" look. I never considered them to be twins in the G1 cartoon.
