Takara MP-39 Masterpiece Sunstreaker Packaging Photos

I'm bummed there is no alternate G1 toy head. Hope a 3p will chime in with one of those in case we want to swap out.

Oh don't get me wrong. That's my preference, BUT some of the other Masterpieces they've included both options.

The whole purpose of the Masterpiece series is to make cartoon-accurate Transformers. The only reason why most figures aren’t 100% cartoon-accurate is because it’s technically difficult to pull it off for some characters. MP’s arent intended to make “good-looking” Transformers but to make them as cartoon-accurate as possible. They make the vehicle modes real-life accurate because of licensing obligations. That’s why the non-licensed alt-modes are cartoon-accurate as well.

Ironhide was figure of the year last year and it looked fantastic. My one complaint with Sunstreaker is the lack of a gun hand.

SS never showed his "pile driver"/missiles in the show so too bad.

Was wondering about that too but his face design in the anime was nailed almost immediately. Just like Lambor and the rest of the gang. (WJ excluded)

The Fuso boys, had differing face designs so OCD Takara gave us a bone (Grimlock only had one differing during SOS Dinobots so an exception?)

It all comes down to whatever appeared in the cartoon from MP-10 on. Grimlock being MP-8 falls outside that, so he had some toy-accurate detailing by virtue.
That's not to say there will never be a a toy-accurate Sunstreaker head, however expect that one to be used for the inevitable Diaclone-based retool called Spin-Out.

Thanks to long time site sponsor Robot Kingdom, we have some brand new images for the upcoming Masterpiece Sunstreaker figure! These brand new stock photos illustrate how the toy is packaged with his many accessories, including Chip and his wheelchair. They also show off his collector's coin, featuring a case based on the hood of a Lamborghini Countach, the car his alt mode is based on. Check out those (and even more) images down below, and tell us in the Energon Pub Forums if these new stock photos changed your mind at all in picking up this figure.

Because there's one guy you don't want it tick off, it's a the guy with the upper body strength to rip a floppy like paper.

I say no these pictures of Figure and chip figure are out of box package and looking at wheel chair it is all black

Oh Chip what ever became of you after season 2?

Stupid question, cause I know we got Spike with Optimus, and now Chip with Sunstreaker, have they done a Carly yet? Officially that is.

How in the name of holy fuck did The chosen prime get this dude in stock before HLJ?????????
