He's not as G1 as I'd hope, he's not as G1 as Siege Sideswipe was, & that was not strictly G1 either. There aren't enough call-backs to the G1 toy in bot-mode detail & color-wise, there's no red shoulders, his weaponry is inadequate, and...oh there it is! His car-mode has NO CHROME SPOILER, THAT'S IT!! He's like a cat missing it's tail, & for some reason it seem more egregious on him than on Sideswipe. A 3P will have to accessorise him & ToyHax will need to add retro detail & color!
Yeah, Sunstreaker without his 'bling' is always noticeable but they're not going to do chrome these days. However, get hold of a Molotow Liquid Chrome pen and either draw or paint the desired bits and you'll have some nice shininess. Don't forget to lightly use some 2000 grit sandpaper to prep the plastic beforehand if youre nervous about the paint flaking off later.
Chances are he'll get some filler kits later on and I'd be surprised if he didnt get some kits with weapons, spoiler and possibly some beefier air intakes.
