I said the same thing someplace. These are the toys that we wished for when we were young. Playable, accurate enough, cheap compared to MPs and we aren't afraid so much of breaking off a piece. I am loving these more than my much more expensive MPs. Also you forgot to flip down the Heel pieces, it would've had added more stability.
Just received my copy of Sunstreaker only 4 months late but oh so happy with him. . love the transformation the engineering is great and my favourite Sunstreaker to date. One thing to note is the colour variation is evident but looks much worse on camera than in person. I’d give it 9/10 and that’s because I too think he should of come with a weapon not some gumby double barrelled hair dryer. Looks cool on his back though! Great review man 👍🏼
I have sunstreaker on pre order from ubuy qatar and wheel jack. He looks good. I have the masterpiece version as well but I am building up a voyager and deluxe scale "team prime" style group. Great review.
On eBay, there is such a weapons upgrade kit for Sunstreaker that includes a split-apart spoiler and a custom-made gun for him. The reason I know this because I ordered that particular kit off of eBay earlier today.
The way I see it, Sideswipe has the jet pack, while Sunstreaker has a jump pack. If you can hypercharge your imagination enough, the “hair dryer” can act like a force gun, little damage but a powerful knockback.
Earthrise Sunstreaker is really awesome. Robot mode looks great, very G1 cartoon like. Sure he has two shadings of yellow on his body, but it looks nice. Makes the figure shine brighter. The engineering, similar to Wheeljack, but with his on spin. The size comparison with Wheekjack, make Sunstreaker feel shorter. But with brother Sideswipe, it feels both shorter and same height, all at the same time. Weird. Car mode looks great, and yes, the roof of the Lamborghini Countach can tab in completely. Thanks for showing that. His rocket booster gun accessory... the molding is cool, but kind of weird for a weapon. Than again, he is an alien. But hey, Generations Selects Tigertrack has two weapon accessories, so I don't think he minds sharing one of them with Sunstreaker.
Quick question for everyone in the community. I'm recently getting back into collecting now that my son is 7 and I actually have some funds. All my g1 are barely holding on for dear life. What is your recommendation keeping boxed vs unboxing? Which ones and for the ones I unbox, the balance of playing with them vs preservation.
I am seriously suspecting they are going to toss us another selects figure with additional accessories. Not a Centurion droid but they could do a Yellow version of Cog? Like the one we see in the WFC show. And then add in weapons for different figures.
I honestly don't mind the feet because I could imagine a car theoretically being built like that, with the bottom of the front being streamlined for aerodynamics or something and having fog lights on it under the main headlights. The main thing that bothers me is the yellow paint, does it match the plastic better in person than on camera? I don't get why they couldn't get it looking as good as it does on Bumblebee or Tigertrack.
I would be intrested to see sunstreaker as a target master. Given his egotestical and diffcult to work with personality could lead to comedic potential. I like target masters and think they need more representation.
I can’t wait for this guy. Releases are SOOOO slow in the uk. I don’t think your complaint about the feet was a small one. I totally agree. I hate the idea of a shown piece becoming the bottom of the feet and prone to scratches. Especially when I like to play with them with my children but also keep them nice. Same problem with the fembots. Windscreen as soles of feet 🤦🏼♂️
Epic review Chefatron!!!!!! :D I got Sunstreaker from Amazon, and I can NOT wait to get him out of his box, and have him stand next to Siege Sideswipe. :D Also, ha ha ha a hairdryer. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
Thanks for the review. I don't mind the 'rockin' feet. My issue is mostly with the roof not being able to fully tab into place in vehicle mode. I noticed that you had the same problem but quickly rectified it. I don't want to risk breaking something by pushing too hard. I also prefer his 'blow dryer' on his back. Gotta find this guy a proper blaster. Side note: Wish there was a scene in the G1 cartoon with Sunstreaker and Tracks arguing over who was better looking!!!
I ordered this version of Sunstreaker off of eBay last week and he arrived at the house a few days ago. I also ordered a weapons upgrade kit for him off of eBay earlier today! I also ordered Earthrise versions of Trailbreaker and Runamuck last week off of eBay too. I can't wait until I can get Runabout and Thrust Earthrise versions of those figures. Also Fast Track, Arcee, Hot House, Allicon, and Airwave and Greasepit.
I'm not too into the G1 inspired stuff, but usually I like the bot designs at least, but idk with this guy there's something sorta... off about him. Maybe it's the weirdly faded yellow color on his whole body, except his chest?
Hello to you, Chefatron. I bought this version of G1 Sunstreaker a few days ago off of Ebay for a very reasonable price, even with free shipping! Another great review, BTW!
If they made the feet swivel 180 degrees, the headlights would be toward the inside of the legs instead of the outside, and the hollow areas would be on the outside.
Will we be getting an 86 Sunstreaker that is even more G1 or is this it? You should do a video on Earthrise figures that would fit in a G1 collection that you don't think we will be getting in the 86 line or Kingdom. Great review by the way, as always :)
ZA THREE AMIGOS!! CHA CHA CHAAAA oh and btw I custom painted my sus 49 bumblebee to look like his roof self and it’s better than the upcoming sus repaint rotf bumblebee because I saw it on ton ton
I agree with you but in my opinion trailbreaker is still the better one in my opinion cant wait for the review of trailbreaker and runabout. I think you need fastrack because he always been with scorponok since g1. I already have sideswipe so I need to complete the twins.
Check on eBay for Sunstreaker's weapons upgrade kit which includes a split-apart spoiler and a custom-made gun for him. I ordered this particular kit for Sunstreaker earlier today off of eBay.
They also forgot to give power of the primes grimlock any weapons. Guess they want people to purchase the tiny transforming weapons. The lamborghinis were always scared to fight in case they got thier paint scraped off so maybe as punishment optimus forced them to be close combat warriors as a way to force them to get damaged in combat to teach them to stop worrying about how they look and took thier guns. Everone else is happy to see them get damaged so they cant show off.
Am I the only person who's bothered by the color of the yellow plastic? Not only does it clash horribly with the painted parts. Bit its just ugly. The vibrant yellow tones of the painted parts are how the whole figure should look. The design looks great, but the colors completely ruin it for me.
the way hasbro made his upper body rotate while transforming without interfere with anything is amazing
i know right?!!
Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker are two Autobots that I've been sorely missing from my g1 cast. Definitely picking him up.
These characters were childhood favorites
awesome! happy hunting bro !
SUNSTREAKER HE IS THE ONE OF THE GREATEST TRANSFORMERS EARTHRISE WAR FOR CYBERTRON TOYS EVER
YOU KNOW CODY SHARP JR HE LOVES TRANSFORMERS TOYS AND TRANSFORMERS PS3 GAMES
The two flaps on the back of feet can be folded down and locked in place to steady his balance.
yes i show it off in the video
@@chefatron no you don't

thanks so much bro! glad you finally got your figure! yeah, i agree with you on the paint
Whelp will be picking up two of him. One to keep in alt mode permanently, the other on robot duty. Awesome review Chef!
awesome!
thanks so much bro !
I really wish the attempted to make an Earthrise Sideswipe that matches this guys car mode
yes, but i'm ok with the siege version
Yeah the siege version sucks next to this new mold, bring on a new sideswipe
The seige version looks like it’s a aventador so I like sideswipe he matches great with sunsyreakery
Looks like it’s coming as an Amazon exclusive.
Tempted to get him, probably will. I do wish we got a better Earthrise Sideswipe with the same car mold/mode to go along with him.
you should get this Ray, you'll love it !
I have sunstreaker on pre order from ubuy qatar and wheel jack. He looks good. I have the masterpiece version as well but I am building up a voyager and deluxe scale "team prime" style group. Great review.
awesome !
thanks so much !
Definitely a must have, I was not sure about it but the hairdryer nailed it! XD
Awesomely fun Bro! :D
awesome! hahahaha thanks bro :-)
I think you're the only reviewer that I watched that spends a lot of time complaining about sunstreaker's feet haha!
hahahaha yes :-)
@@chefatron you mis transformed the feet. You need to pull back and click in the heal panels
@@phoenix4flame my bad
I hope we get an add on kit for this guy that includes a rear spoiler to plug into those peg holes in car mode
yes, same
On eBay, there is such a weapons upgrade kit for Sunstreaker that includes a split-apart spoiler and a custom-made gun for him. The reason I know this because I ordered that particular kit off of eBay earlier today.
Great review👍 The way his chest looks against the unpainted limbs really throws me off, but other than that hes amazing.
thanks so much bro ! yes perhaps
The way I see it, Sideswipe has the jet pack, while Sunstreaker has a jump pack. If you can hypercharge your imagination enough, the “hair dryer” can act like a force gun, little damage but a powerful knockback.
Lucio
@@bakuganhq1 hell yeah
hahaha yes indeed :-)
The hair dryer reminds me of Skylynx's "millenium falcon" guns a bit.
I'm not gonna wait until clearance, will get him soon
happy hunting !
an earthrise sideswipe would look amazing with this figure
i think we're good with the siege sideswipe
@@chefatron that's also true
The sticker set from toyhax and the spoiler from nonnex helps sideswipe look super g1. You can get both for under 20 buck total
I would have like that they angled the corners of his lower body and the shoulder to be a little more G1 look. And of course, covers for the forearms.
yes perhaps
Love that it brings a stand and so many weapons. Justifies the price increase.
hahahahahahaha :-)
I'm definitely getting Sunstreaker to go with Sideswipe
cool bro !

Keep in box my man trust me or get two

oh yeah definitely, i wouldn't be surprised if hasbro did that...
I might decide to try to paint the figure to match the painted areas
awesome !

It’s an awesome figure, shame that my copy has the same windshield issue when transforming
sorry to hear that bro
Can someone tell me which is better wheeljack or sundtreaker I want one of them I don't have an earthrise figure 😭
Definitely getting this guy as I want to complete the Lamborghini brothers and have the siege sideswipe
aweosme! happy hunting bro !

yes same, it'll be scratched up easily
Wow he looks good.
Love your posing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great review man. He sure looks excellent
thanks so much bro! he really is an amazing figure, save for the paint apps
are you going to get mpm ratchet and starscream?
no man, i've quit the MP and MPM game
He looks as awesome as he thinks he does! Absolute must have. Great pick up great review chefatron. 👀🤯😁👍

wow ! awesome score bro! i hope you didn't pay too much for it...
thanks so much i appreciate it :-)
@@chefatron I only paid $29.99 for Sunstreaker.
@@willieleefrancis8091 whoa!!! is this usd ?
@@chefatron Yes. In USD, Chefatron. I had to pay my State sales tax for Sunstreaker too, lol.
i guess that's alright considering he's usually the first one to get sold out in this wave :-)
He has heels that keep him balanced if you fold them out
yes, i show it in the video, please watch the video in its entirety
Wow this is awesome I might get it in Christmas or my birth day oh wait my birth day is on christmass
awesome ! happy birthday !
I am still waiting on sunstreaker and hoist and im so impatient
hope you get it soon bro, oh man you are gonna love this !!!!
If they made the feet swivel 180 degrees, the headlights would be toward the inside of the legs instead of the outside, and the hollow areas would be on the outside.
yes perhaps. but i suppose it would have been too expensive to do that
The color matching tho
yes
100% plan on getting this figure. Shame there is no proper weapon.
definitely! yeah, i'm sure hasbro will have another generations selects figure with a weaponizer pack to include his weapon
Will we be getting an 86 Sunstreaker that is even more G1 or is this it? You should do a video on Earthrise figures that would fit in a G1 collection that you don't think we will be getting in the 86 line or Kingdom. Great review by the way, as always :)
i think this is it bro
@@chefatron Thank you so much for the reply. I really appreciate it.
@@lisashoneyistim no worries man :-)
It would be nice if they would put him on shelves as he should already be but isnt.
i'm sure he'll be out soon in your area
Transformers fancast:
Jonathan groff as sunstreaker
no.
chefatron what?!
Explain why you say “no.” To this
chefatron what? What’s the problem?
@@cakesimp4100 no problem. just don't think he'd be great as sunstreaker
ZA THREE AMIGOS!! CHA CHA CHAAAA oh and btw I custom painted my sus 49 bumblebee to look like his roof self and it’s better than the upcoming sus repaint rotf bumblebee because I saw it on ton ton
awesome !
They clda at least made the gun fold to be longer.
yup I agree...
@@chefatron I just realized had the feet rotated the headlights wlda been on the inside.
oh cool!@@KingSausage74
I agree with you but in my opinion trailbreaker is still the better one in my opinion cant wait for the review of trailbreaker and runabout. I think you need fastrack because he always been with scorponok since g1. I already have sideswipe so I need to complete the twins.
awesome !
thanks so much bro :-)
yeah, i'm thinking of hunting him down this weekend, i hope the one i had set aside at a hobby shop is still there...
Hair dryer is more accurate than gun🤔😁
hahaha yes!
I want this no I NEED this
happy hunting !
Thanks!
I’m gonna give him primes blaster!!
i feel like he needs a spoiler
yes same

It's Great!?!?!?!
yes
"Uploaded 4 seconds ago" damn I'm early
wow! awesome! thanks man :-)
We’re earthrise sideswipe
don't need one. the siege sideswipe will do
Hey chef I fucks with but every time hear a great figure I know the bad is coming
Hairdryer weapon lmao... he’s gonna blowdry every decepticons in his way lol
hahaha

yes, but you kinda get used to it and it becomes acceptable
Ello
I can see how he is a cocky funny guy hes a Lamborghini duhhhhh
hahahaha yes
