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.

Looking forward Sunsteaker.

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

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.

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.

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!
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?

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)

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.

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 an email from Amazon today saying my coneheads are delayed 3 weeks!

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

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.

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.

Render aside, Bluestreak looks really, really good, easily the best of this mold. He's quickly convincing me to get the 2-pack for Prowl.

Since none of the Datsuns are going to be selects figures this time around, I'm hoping that means there's room for a selects blue Bluestreak.

I dunno, I think Sunstreaker looks pretty solid. But I had really low expectations for him to begin with, and he's already surpassed those, so my perspective is probably a bit different.

It's limited for forgetting to switch out alternate heads and other parts, no real biggie, really.

Should also be remembered that a lot of Hasbro's design staff is working from home so there's probably not a lot of direct oversight from team managers making mistakes slip through easier.
Still not nearly as bad as T30 Nightbeat having the entirely wrong mold (TF2010 Jazz mold) on his package and art all the way up to his release (T30 Bumblebee mold), for the better IMO.

The img tags don't work unless they're aimed at the image directly, not the window showing them (in other words, the link has to end in .jpg or any other image format). "Copy Image Location" is not the best way to do that, sadly.
The seat is surprising, to be honest.

Interestingly, they've always shown on my end so I never realized. I went back and added them as inline attachments. I really dig the seat. I enjoyed the titan masters and power masters so this is definitely cool.

You can just say you're not getting Doubledealer because the scale is too small for you, you don't have to create an imaginary toy created by an imaginary company to cater to your personal arbitrary desires.

Not really, when some forumer might know of an upscaled Doubledealer or add on kit.

I am really envious of everyone with Sky Lynx taking pics of OP or Arcee riding him like a stallion. I ordered mine along with ER Starscream from Megalopolis.toys and they must be hit bad by Covid or something. First order shipped quick, second has been hanging out for a while.
ER Arcee has been delayed on Pulse, I wonder what the chances of seeing her in Target before Pulse ships? I got the T30 and I just don't like her legs. The ER version still has thin legs but I do like the plastic they use on current figures better so I'm hoping she feels a little more stable. Plus she'll have 5mm hands.
