    Interesting, according to TF wiki, yellow sunstreaker was the last one: The Diaclone version of Sunstreaker, officially called Lamborghini Countach LP500S "Super Tuning", was originally only available in red and black/white police decos.

    Can anyone who has this guy in hand see if you can leave his actual car roof and windows on as his chest as well as the actual car intakes instead of faux parts for the 2?

    From the transformation vids, looks like you could leave the real roof and windscreen in place. It'll just hang down over his crotch like an apron.

    I'm curious to see some pics - maybe it's a more defensive form since it protects his crotch ;) 

    What about keeping the car intakes?

    I have him and you can’t. It breaks apart. The windows are in the legs and the roof is on the other side of the faux chest.

    Side windows no for sure. But real roof and windscreen? Looks like you could just not rotate the windscreen to the back, not swivel the roof round, then continue with the arms and backpack as normal?

    After watching the video review TCP put up, I had to go and order this guy. Found him on Amazon.co.jp for around $78, so I added MP-12+ Lambor (to replace the KO I got years ago when I was poor and first started collecting MPs) for $140 shipped on both vs $120 without shipping on just Sunstreaker! I’ll have em by next week! Super-stoked.

    I do have Sunsurge, and he’s a great figure that I wasn’t planning to replace. But I like the simpler transformation on this guy, not to mention that I do prefer the animation aesthetic. My brother has been itching for a Sunsurge, so I’m gifting it to him as a Christmas gift! Solves that problem!

    Damn it, HLJ. Last week, I changed my MP39 from 2 pieces down to 1 due to a family emergency.

    It went thru and I also received a confirmation email from HLJ.
    So what happens today? I get an invoice for 2 MP39s. :mad:
