:: Universe Sunstreaker " They can't beat the BEST"

In the original G1 animation series, Sunstreaker's is modeled based on the modified yellow 1980 Lamborghini Countach with exposed engine on the roof. For the 2007 universe version, it is remodeled based on the Lamborghini Gallardo with a similar exposed engine on the roof.

:: ALTERNATE MODE

Exposed engine on the root is detachable and would be attached onto his back in robot mode. The exhaust of the car could also be detached to become his electron pulse blaster.

If you notice, the license plate at the rear of the vehicle says ' WE R 84'. This means We are 84 meaning the birth of the Transformers Franchise.

:: Transformation

Transformation is quite straight forward. It also comes with an auto morph feature where the head can be raised by turning the roof/windshield clockwise.The Exposed Engine can be detached from the roof and reattached at the back of the head in robot mode similar to G1 series.

:: ROBOT MODE


The robot mode is really nice. It looks very clean and proportion. The unique head is very well scrupled and close to the G1 series. The toy itself has excellent articulation making it possible to pose it in any style. Also I realized that there are some similarities along the arm and hand portion compared to the Classic bumblebee.

:: Overall

Sunstreaker is indeed a very well designed toy to kick start the Universe series. It lives up to the name of being the ' Mr Perfect' in the G1 series. This highly articulated toy is fun to play with and there is no problem in posing it in all kinds of style. The only -ve thing about this toy is that the paint job had been quite a disappointment. This has got to be Hasbro's QC part. Surely they should start to do something about it.
