I mean, take Sideswipe (or even Sunstreaker) and transform him the other way, and you'll note that his hands end up upside down. What is Punch/Counterpunch gonna have a thumb on either side of his fingers, like the Elites in Halo?
Actually, very likely that. Or, they simply make the hands look less detailed so that wrong sided thumbs don't exist.
Personally, I'm hoping for the double thumbs...but that might cost more to do.
I am also hoping that his head has some moving bits to it, so as to cover up the face on the other side when he is in the opposite mode, like the G1 toy did.
Once we get some prototype pics we'll know for certain, and if he has that much work in him I may get two, to display at the same time in each mode.
I'm also hoping for a custom instructions sheet, seeing as the original toy wasn't designed to transform exactly the way the cover image makes it look, according to Hasbro's instructions for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker (their legs don't change, accoding to my instruction, but are certainly capable of being differentiated as the drawing shows)
