Huh?

I don't see the similarity. Like, at all.

It is a new mold. The Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker and Runamuk molds do all share a few tricks but also each have some of their own unique steps/parts.

I'm the opposite. That chest is the only thing on him that actually is yellow, with the rest of him now being cream. The whole figure ought to be colored like the chest.

Looking forward to this wave, even in spite of Sunstreaker’s differing palettes. I’m sure in person it won’t be as bad.

Sunstreaker spent too long in the sun whilst his chest was in the shade, pretty sure the colors will look better in hand but I'm skipping him until an earth mode sideswipe gets released.

would have been nice to be able to swap out the tyres on hoist/trailbraker so that they all match but impossible due to the way they are plugged in/out so I'll just cross my fingers that his legs arent as floppy as hoists when I pick him up.

Runa I really dont like the overly panelly car mode, kinda looks like a studio series abomination but picking it up just for bot mode.

Fasttrack is the only one of the wave I dont have any quibbles with.

Meanwhile, Netflix Bumblebee has been painted over in yellow over all of his yellow plastic parts, looking REALLY nice for the effort. Unfortunately, Sunstreaker is probably too large of a figure to fit that extensive of a paint job on a much larger figure and still keep the price point at $19.99.

It looks like Runamuck's hips could end up hindering his waist swivel in some poses, and vice versa. This figure continues to look more and more mediocre, but I've waited years for Battlechargers so I'll be buying it anyway. I'm just lowering my expectations. >:oP

I think Sunstreaker's yellow "dilemma" is fine. I expect him to look better in person. It's Trailbreaker that kinda bothers me. Maybe it's a similar situation with streaker, but I have this feeling...

That feeling is called "anxiety," but it is highly treatable.

Finally, a sunstreaker that isn't a Sideswipe retool. It's a damn shame the first cartoon he's in since 85 will probably the overacting clusterf*CK that is Seige (yes I do realise the next installment of seige will most likely be called earthrise, but I don't wanna confuse people) Sunstreaker deserves better than Rooster Teeth's underfunded art project. Give us some good voice actors, Hasbro! Splurge a little! Some quality writing too, not one or the other! This isn't Prime Wars!

It's a different mold, they aren't even the same size.

Yeah, the painted roof is fine, the yellow plastic looks like a lemon Starburst. Hopefully it's just the bright studio lights throwing off the color balance. The Takara Tomy photos weren't nearly as harsh so under natural lighting it should be fine. I'm sure we'll be seeing reviews any day now.

Did you know that the forums have a built in filter for swear words? Did you also know that self-censoring as you did is construed as a way to bypass said filter? Did you also know you can get your thoughts across without resorting to profanity?

And yet you call it "Seige" instead of "Siege".

Sunstreaker doesn't deserve anything, he's a fictional character so his vanity isn't going to be hurt or anything.

Those are my general thoughts on sunstreaker.

That's how it was spelt in the 80's ya know!
(Yeah I know it wasn't but you know it's pointless trying to correct someone that thinks 1984 was the high point in Transformers and anything after it is irrelevant)

I'm sure it's like Hoist. People were crying that he was two different shades in photos before his release. In 'real life' it's barely noticable.

It's worth nothing that yellows, whites and other colors of similar hues have been particularly bad with matching paint with plastic color, depending on the color of the base plastic that's being painted. Bug Bite and Sunstreaker have had bad matches in the past.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, -WonkoTheSane- has clued us in to a new set of images of forthcoming Transformers Earthrise Deluxe Class Bluestreak! The images have appeared in the Netherlands version of Amazon so the listing is in Dutch. The price given is €24,27 and the release date is given as 1st September 2020.

As you can see, the incorrect render is included and appears on the back of the box. The render uses the Smokescreen version of the mold while the correct version of the toy uses the Earthrise Prowl head which already greatly resembled cartoon Bluestreak's head.

There is still no official confirmation on how Bluestreak will be released, with rumours circulating that at least in the USA, he'd be a Walgreens exclusive like last years Siege Ratchet.

What do you think of this release? Are you getting Bluestreak? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I got Doubledealer yesterday after my first ever visit to a Smyths Toys Superstore. So far I've had a lot of fun with him, his bird mode isn't that good, but the other two modes are lovely, and the cassette deck for Knok and Skar is a nice little feature. Doubledealer also holds the distinction of being the only toy from the War For Cybertron Trilogy that I bought in an actual brick-and-mortar store and not online, but a Smyths is opening an hour's drive away from where I live later this year, so that may change soon.

That Bluestreak is GLORIOUS. He will be a great addition to the shrine.

He's not blue. A blue Bluestreak would be glorious. :-P

I got an email from Amazon today saying my coneheads are delayed 3 weeks! :-(

And Pulse charged my account for Scorponok last week and still nothing. :-(

Posted: **Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:46 pm**

I got charged by Pulse for Scorponok and he hasn't shipped, but Sky Lynx is en route, and I think he would agree that's more important.

yeah of course he would. My problem is that Pulse now won't even recognize my email and password so I can't check on my order. :BANG_HEAD:

Well looks like they are trying to make good on getting them out by 9/1, which is good to see. I got both at Target last month

But hopefully this means the wave 2 deluxes scheduled for 9/1 will also be spotted soon as well, or at the very least shipping form Pulse.

I dig that Silverstreak...
Wish the inside of his lower legs were painted, but I'll plan on getting him.

Silverstreak, Bluestreak, potahto, potayto... [-(

Regardless, I have a Silverstreak shrine and it's all because I picked up MP Silverstreak at Toys R Us at the time they bothered having MPs in Quebec. I'll have to get the Alternator at some point. Better yet, the Binaltech, for that premium feel.
