Did they take the pic down? I can't find it. Does someone have the exact address or link?

Well, my curiosity got the best of me, and I sought the picture out. I must say that I am little turned off by the fact his arms are toothpicks, but the rest of the figure looks okay. I get the feeling they made Sideswipe first, turned his head and legs around and were like "ehhhhh, it looks pretty good, actually". I can tell how he turns into Sideswipe already, the knees are double jointed, so when the legs are turned to the sides, they have knees that turned to what is Sunstreakes's front. Neat concept. I will have to get three, one SuS and SiS and one to turn into a Punch/Counterpunch somehow.

Good job Hasbro. Now you have me hooked again, and I have to join your club now.

Why do you have to join the club?

Sunstreaker (and most likely Sideswipe hopefully) will be a general release in stores ...

I already stated before, I was on the fence. I like the club anyway, I like the discounts at their store anyway. Plus, waiting for the information and images, such as the classics stuff is excrutiating.

ahhh right! Sorry. I thought you were one of those whiney mis-informed types who thought this was going to be a club exclusive. My bad.

Eeeesh..some fussy people about...

anyway, Sunstreaker looks pretty cool, some alternatorish looks about him. I must say I like the original concept photos from CC better but I like this none the less.

Big ole neato from me.

It is a big internet out there, I can see how that could happen.

I wonder what the free figure will be this year, I hope it isn't a Contructicon, I have all of those. I want the helicopter mold.

Warning given for linking to the picture

Hey collectors club:

Suck it long, and suck it hard!

Congrats, you probably just got yourself IP Banned for that.

Given that he just signed up to post that I doubt he'll care.

Or he's a member who thought he'd be sneaky and start a new account and hope the Mods wouldn't notice.

Either way, he still wins Uncle Burn's Wanker of the Week Award.

Be afraid people! He'll get his computer at work and do something!

He wins next week's Award as well just for that.

Option #2 is the most likely situation, IMO

Well I have to admit that I wasn't expecting Sunstreaker to look like that, though I think that it'll grow on me. I wasn't impressed when I first saw the pic, but in the minute or so since then I've started to take a liking to it!

Oh and to the people who were complaining before, I think it is time to knock it off. There is no point in whining and moaning about the Collectors Club being exclusive, they paid the money and they should get something special out of it, if you want to be in on the special stuff then pay the money, it's really that simple. All the complaining you do will not get you what you want from them, only from people who care not for the rules. Besides, it's not like images weren't going to be leaked (like they have been already) as well as eventually the actually toys showing up in stores. It's not the freaking end of the world.

Wow. He's looking nice. I may never need to own a G1 Sunstreaker after this...

really? His arms look too scrawny to me, and I'm not a huge fan of his knees and feet. I want to see some more pictures of this guy before I make my final decision.

I'm sure it isn't that bad. At least you can't loose his fists like the G1 Sunstreaker (among other parts too). I'm hoping that his arms, waist/legs, and head will be able to rotate around so he will look more like Sideswipe. Sideswipe always seemed like he got the better deal in looks. I mean, from what I remember from the SDCC thing, the only difference between the two new ones are the chest. Sidesipe's front is basically Sunstreaker's back.

Yeah you do. Everyone needs a yellow Murcielago in their collection. ;-)

How about Option #3?

Option 3: It is revealed that the member who posted the image at the other site uses the same username on the club forums (chuckdawg1999). This is brought to club officials attentions and they ban said user from the club forums.

Really, like no one was gonna notice that?! :lol:
