    Thank you for the pics...are his knees kind of tricky to pose...?

    They just look a little funny in the pictures...

    Although it looks rather like a Gallardo, Classics Sunstreaker is a mix of elements from various sports cars.

    Alternators are based on real life cars. Lamborghini is owned by the Volkswagen/Audi group and they have repeatedly said they want nothing to do with Transformers. A Lamborghini Alt was never going to happen.

    Getting that. Looking at the pic with SS, makes me realize just how crappy a deluxe SS was. We need a voyager.

    I like the back detailing in the alt mode but the front end/headlight detailing is BLAND!!! And I agree with several others-the yellow plastic looks cheap. Hasbro could have put a little more effort into SSer.

    Sunstreaker looks awesome. I am definitely getting all the Universe toys since they look really well done. I am really excited about what we are getting this fall. Will be a good time to be a TF fan. :)

    I am not feeling this mold. It feels like Alternators Lite like how fast action battlers are 'real figure lite'.

    Maybe I just don't like the characters.

    Though I would love to see a Punch/Counterpunch out of this mold. Get on it FP!

    Very nice, I've noticed the classics2/universe guys seem to be taller thus far than the other classics guys, any chance of a comparison with some other Classics deluxes?

    Is anyone else getting a serious "Punch/Counterpunch" vibe off this thing?

    I'm digging the mold, although the QC with the paint and plastic seems a touch rough. I was also holding out hope that 'Swipe would have a different head mold...but the ear gimmick probably killed that straight dead. Still excited, but will have to be convinced in person.
