    No more common knowledge than the fact this little wrap-around trick isn't an official feature to begin with, and more importantly, barely even works when attempted. A lot of people found that out when they tried it back when Sunstreaker was first released. It sort of worked for some, but most ended up with crooked looking combos at best. Only 1 of my 4 versions of this mold can do it, and even then it falls apart if you breathe too hard.

    Unless TFCC modified the gun/engine to securely lock together, I think a lot of people in for a big disappointment.

    I'm more concerned about Punch's feet. I have 2 Sideswipes and 2 Sunstreakers, and none of them can stand with the legs folded that way without the feet sticking out almost sideways.

    Such a waste that CP/P's a Club exclusive... Looks very impressive though.

    Very impressive head sculpt, and P/CP has always been, imo, such an interesting character being a spy. I think this will probably my first TFCC exclusive purchase.

    Damn man. Who shoved a potato up your tail pipe. I make a light comment and you try to ripe off my side panel about it. Now I can understand if I kept saying it over, and over, and over, but this once. I think someone, got a little to angry over a little thing

    Nice, but will the legs also be modified so he can stand properly as Punch?

    Try it with your Sideswipe/Sunstreaker, you'll see there's standing issues unless some space is made for the feet.

    Thanks Pete! Can't wait to get my hands on this guy. Hopefully he's not going to break the bank for a deluxe figure.

    That head is genius in it's simplicity. I'd be tempted if I actually had any emotional investment in the character and didn't already own that mold three times over (my original Sunny busted his ankle :(  )
