In Package Photos of Transformers Earthrise Wave 3 Deluxes

Sunstreaker's yellow roof chest bothers me waaaaaaaaay too dang much. That is an obnoxiously wrong shade of yellow

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.

I'm hoping so, Sunstreaker is one I'm excited for.

Huh?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Those are my general thoughts on sunstreaker.
