    Neat. Him being an ex-Decepticon is intriguing (I prefer him to be one still :D ) but the line about his "cooking for humans is unrivaled" reminds me of this:

    I think we've uncovered his true crime. :lol

    Doesn’t mention him being a Destron though. Reads like he was just a naughty Autobot, right?

    I got that from someone on Seibetron who said someone had run it through translate and had understood that.

    You're right, no mention of it in this translation by Soundwave's Oblivion.

    And actually, looking again at Seibertron...

    Did I myself start a false rumour by assuming that someone imprisoned would logically have been a Decepticon? Shame on me!

    It's all your fault!

    He'll go well with my Delta Team (previously imprisoned Autobots on the run trying to prove their innocence, and helping others along the way).

    Does anyone have an original Diaclone Police Sunstreaker?

    Does it have the exact same color sticker sheet as the yellow Sunstreaker?

    Take a look at @Maz's great article here:

    Square One: Diaclone "Police Sunstreaker"

    It has pictures of the sticker sheets as well as lots of great pictures of the figure itself. You can see that the stickers are different from Sunstreaker's, although the leg and abdomen stickers use the same design (but different colours, and Sunny's has "Car Robo" removed).

    Thanks. Saw a pic of it at Maz's site and compared to the Reprolabels. Was going to use their MP Sunstreaker set for this, but I guess I;ll hope RL puts a new set out for Cordon.

    Not ordering it unless Amazon JP offers it. Still in my cart, but no US shipping yet.

    Done forever with AE/NY/HLJ for TT MP's.

    amazon jp is just so much better, and that's not knocking them. Amazon JP from price to shipping speed is just better. The catch is they have to offer international shipping unless you know someone in Japan.

    Cordon's face sculpt just reminds me of 80's era robot heads like Voltron in the best possible way.

    Apparently there are no extra faces - the accessories have been listed and also shown in promotional photos, and they are a little sparse: the mini-gun, the missile hand (and only one, it seems) and, um... that's it.

    So I doubt his face is removable, and even if it were, it probably wouldn't fit on Sunstreaker given the different helmet shapes. However, Sunstreaker's head is on a ball joint and it is really easy to pop it off, so you should simply be able to swap the heads (which is exactly what I'll be doing). You can also pop off the shins and replace Sunstreaker's shins with Cordon's more detailed ones (again, what I'll be doing).
