    Looks awesome. Badcube's design isn't actually that far off, but dat Takara engineering tho.

    My biggest fear is it'll eclipse Sideswipe's older design.

    *Puts up hand*

    Don't worry, we're still here. But carry on; don't mind us. Hope everyone else enjoys him!

    This guy was totally unexpected, though. I am flabbergasted that Takara made a second, completely different Lambo mold... and still before Jazz??? What is happening?

    The entire chest is fake, yes.

    Wow, I like this a lot. It definitely takes a lot of cues from BC but it does seem to be better executed. Not who I was expecting for the next MP. I guess it's time to sell Sunsurge for pennies on the dollar.

    Older and better aesthetic's design.
    They just don't match.

    They could re-do sideswipe in their new and lame aesthetic to match.


    Overrall, this figure looks promising.

    Cool observation! I'm wondering if the supercharger is removable, or is built into the transformation. It looks like the panels on the back in "real car mode" may be flippable if not swappable. Where's @Liampope for to figure out the transformation?

    I'm not really doing the masterpiece thing anymore, so I have no dog in this race, but I have two observations: transformation likely takes some cues from Badcube (i.e., it looks like it explodes and then reassembles) and I don't care for the head. But hey, Chip Chase!

    I rather like it.

    But then, I like pretty much anything yellow and oh goodness does Sunstreaker fit that description.

    Very interested in this guys! I get a very Sunsurge vibe from him but with superior proportions. Speaking of, I'm pretty curious what a profile shot looks like, seems to have a decent sized backpack.

    Yeah, I like the proportions of the lower body a lot better on this. I'm sure the fake chest people will continue to complain and others will complain it's too toon and that Spinout is superior.
