Actually 2 Sunstreakers by mistake (kind of) as well as Prowl. Will hopefully have pics posted late tonight or tomorrow. Transformed one of my Sunstreakers. He's awesome. Everything I could have hoped for. Will open Prowl tonight. My only complaint is the windows are painted black. I was hoping for translucent windows. Hopefully the Henkei versions will have that.

I'll keep you guys posted and will maybe post some teaser pics to share while I'm working on the galleries.

Actually, I believe the windows are opaque because they're prototypes. It's not uncommon; just look at Titanium Rodimus Prime. And how on Earth did you get two Sunstreakers? Can I have one?

Yay!

How hard are they to transform? Have you tried transforming Sunstreaker like Sideswipe?

Can't wait to see the picture I'm sure there amazing now. Here hoping you get tankor/octane to go with them.

Sunstreaker was my very first TF, and I'm really excited about the TFU version. Glad to hear the good review!

My boss just pointed out that Prowl is a Nissan 350z. It then just dawned on me that the current Prowl is the evolution of the Datsun version of this character from 1984. That is awesome that someone at Hasbro is paying attention that much ... moreso than me. Kudos to whoever pushed for that.

These two figures have been a lot of work tonight. I wanted to do their galleries properly so I busted out all of the other versions that I thought would be cool to have out for these galleries. Here's a few teaser pics to last you guys until later this week ...

IDW did that first in their modern take of G1 (Infiltration and Escalation etc). I'd personally love to see a TF based on the Z32 300ZX too.

I've never seen that before. That's neat.

I can't wait for the galleries. Video reviews are ok up to a point but the galleries here are just so much more helpful.

Ryan, would you be able to type out the bios for these two, or at least get a good enough image to read them from the card backs? Thanks

Already accomplished my friend.

I hope to have the galleries posted tonight just in time before I leave for BotCon tomorrow.

Can't wait, I wish I was going to Botcon. One day.

Fantastic! Can't wait to see these guys get the Seibertron treatment!

More teaser pics ...

I finished taking the photos for Sunstreaker and Prowl this evening. I'm too tired to get one of their galleries posted tonight. I have to be to work in 7 hours and have a 4.5 hour drive to Cincinnati tomorrow night after I get out of work so I've got to hit the sack. The pics look pretty good ... I can't wait to share them with you guys. I will get them posted over the weekend while I'm at BotCon -- most likely Thursday morning at this point.

Wow, those teaser pics look great! I'm so glad to see Sunstreaker's noggin isn't painted silver like it was in some convention pics. I don't mind the opaque windows if that's how it ends up.

Can't wait for the gallery.
