    Thanks for the review!

    Want! Twin-bots! Now!

    How many months do we have to wait for Sunny now? And how many more for Sideswipe? ARGH!

    Always a fan of the Brothers.

    The yellow does look a little bland though...

    Yup definitely feeling a Punch/Counterpunch vibe here. Same twist around chest concept (or backward/forward). Only thing is what to do with the head.
    They'll need some serious re-engineering to construct a proper head, errr 2 proper heads

    Pretty cool. Looking forward to the brothers. Sunstreaker looks kinda neat. Yellow does seem bland, but it's alright.

    Looks great. If they do Sideswipe, the head will just be turned the other way, with the front of the car as the chest and the other body parts repositioned as appropriate

    I'm a little disappointed with the 'Sideswipe' version of the torso. The car hood should be the chest and the stuff under tapers down to the waist. Here it looks like the dashboard (for lack of a better term) is the chest while the hood forms the midsection. It's still good, but not nearly as good as I had hoped.

    I think Sideswipe will have a different head(or maybe just the head without the ears).... I don't think the ears gimmick is a "feature playability gimmick" that they want to include, I'm guessing it just had to be used to give Sunstreaker wide ears while also making his head narrow enough to retract into the chest space.

    The Sun Streak has two pipe lines on the crotch and a screw on the back.
    (May be I thinking was too evil.)

    here is a pic next to classics grimlock and astrotrain.He is about a head taller than both and almost 2 inches taller than bumblebee.He is barely taller than animated prowl for scale.

    The color on mine may not be the actual color but i will know for sure once my mosc sunstreaker gets here next week.


    the horns are spring loaded and extend when the head pops up.

    I'm still not digging this mold, unfortunately. I understand why other people are excited, but it's not doing much for me. Looks too much like a mini-Alt imo, especially compared to the original Classics.

    Universe is starting to feel like an entirely different toyline aesthetic comapred to Classics, and while they *can* fit together, you can still clearly spot the differences in theme. That's really throwing me off.

    Friggin' Brilliant. Can't tell you how happy i am with this.

    i love the Alternator-lite aspect (which Bumblebee ahd to an extent, but not as much as these) and the pop-up head feature is out of this world, i love stuff like that.

    kind of feels like the logical conclusion of what Classics should be: realistic Alt modes ala G1 combined with stylized and possible bot modes. Like RiD but with less wonky bot modes (don't get me wrong i love RiD)

    seems like the ultimate realization of Transformers in a lot of ways.
    so nice to see this after the horror of Blitzwing earlier today.
