Sideswipe and Sunstreaker don't get enough love outside of the G1 continuity. Two brothers with opposing personalities both serving a cause they believe in on their own terms! I'd watch a show featuring them!
Loved Sideswipe and Sunstreaker not only because they were cool, capable fighters but because they introduced this only child to the concept of Transformers being able to have brothers.
Honestly, I like Sunstreaker more than Tracks because the flying corvette has even worse ego that it is borderline narcissism (which is actually pretty funny whenever Tracks takes a little heat) It helps make Sunstreaker more relatable: Has an ego but values assistance from his teammates. Hell, Sunstreaker even admits he hated humans at one point and it was because of him the Autobots were viewed as a threat. He still has an ego, sure, but it is a managable ego. And that's what makes him memorable in my eyes. It makes him as human as the species he hated.
It would be fun to see him developing rivalries with other narcisist transformers like Tracks or Knock Out. Or a one sided rivalry with Springer, who is considered one of the most handsome autobots.
Oh I can imagine springer and sunstreaker arguing over who's more handsome when hot rod comes up to them and they ask him to tell Who's handsomer and hot rod saying neither it's hot rod the handsomest and all three then just breaking into a brawl. (I personally prefer springer)😆😝😏
There are so many great G1 characters that I am always looking for more stories about them. Sunstreaker is one of those characters that could have had more story lines. They also never really delved into the relationship w/ his brother Sideswipe in the G1 cartoon. Potential for more G1 transformers is there.
1. Sunstreaker is and always will be my favorite. 2. This review did him honors 3. I do think he is underused, and I'm dying to see if he'll be in earthrise 4. His toy will be a target exclusive in october. I`m hoping he'll have a Toys'r'us release in Canada as well (other target exclusive did) 5. I was super thrilled to see my Patreon name written in this review, made my day. Thank you so much for this review, it was perfect.
I couldn't agree with you more. I'm glad I still have the G1, Alternators, and Universe figures. Would love to get the Masterpiece but I'm not rich. That line is too pricey for my budget. Perhaps someday. I've always wondered who is more egotistical & full of themselves: Sunstreaker or Tracks. It's a close tie.
@@ThirdOfJune4444 Sunstreaker defiantly has a toy in Earthrise, its a retool of Wheeljack, plus Sunstreaker's toy's gonna be redecoed/retooled into Spin-Out and Cordon!
Sunstreaker is a awesome character in the Transformers universe. From his red to yellow color switch, being Sideswipes brother, and to his style. It's good to see that he has returned to the spotlight in the Earthrise toyline, and hopefully in the Netflix series. -It's also great news that his other mold brothers, Spinout and Cordon, has join him in the masterpiece toyline and the Generations Selects section of Earthrise.
Sunstreaker was and still is my absolute favorite. He was the very first Transformer I recieved in the 80's. So he'll always have a special place in my heart, plus I really loved the Lp500's
Two words: JET JUDO!! 😎 The G1 cartoon emphasized Sunstreaker's ego, but had to downplay his sociopathic tendencies. (Not exactly Saturday morning fare!) Issues 7 & 8 of the brilliant Dreamwave comics I believe were the only time Sunny and Swipe had a specific mission together (under Jazz), and it was terrific to see them fight...the 'Cons AND each other! So yes, a bot as deadly, potent and effective as Streaker should DEFINITELY get more press than he's gotten in the past. Actually, Sunstreaker's his own best press agent! 😂
@@jonathanb1987 Knockout = Sunstreaker?? Wow! I never thought of that. You're right, if Streaker had been in PRIME, that's EXACTLY how he would have behaved. Aside from the unstoppable ego, Sunny as a 'Con is a frightening thought.
I am glad somebody said this….Him being s sociopath makes him way more interesting a character then his brother. In my mind, he should have been a Wrecker or at least part of elite blackops wet work squad.
11:33 A N A R M Y O F C O M B I N E R S ! Menasor feelings intensifies 🤣 But great work my man. I really like Sunstreaker more for his attitude than for his appearances. He's such the type of confident guy that I want to be
Sunstreaker was my first Transformer back in 84 ! Love this channel 🤟 (3:43 noticed how they reversed the colour on the vehicle modes in the left panel of the marvel comic) 👍
Thank you, I've been requesting Sunstreaker and just Autobot siblings for a year now. He's always been a favorite of mine . His vain and slight arrogance was entertaining and of course he's a cool Lamborghini!
'Streaker was one of my favorites from the G1 toy line. Mine now has a broken wheel (held in place by glue) and loose joints because I played so much with it. He's a great character. I wonder if he'd ever have a beauty competition with Tracks. There's a feud that might never end!
He's my favourite to with his twin sideswipe it pissed me of in the one transformers movie they put sideswipe in it but not sunstreaker I mean u can't have one brother without the other it's an insult
I've been obsessed with him ever since I discovered some old G1 artbook/calendar my brother had. The toy artwork was mesmerizing and the idea of a Countach with dual superchargers and intake scoops was wild.
Thanks so much for posting! I had the Diakron DK1 as a kid (my very first transforming toy ever!) and loved it dearly. As such, I was the only kid in my neighborhood with the red "Sunstreaker." I was always disappointed that he was never more prominent in media, as he was always central to my play time.
One of the things that I have always liked about Sunstreaker is the fact that he could and would back up easily everything that was in his abilities, just like Sky Lynx would and could!!! He is a very effective Autobot Warrior. Sky Lynx's motto: "The best achievements are worth repeating."
If I remember right both Cosmos and Broadside talk about there paint jobs to. I think Cosmos was on that planted with the fish people can change there looks for merpeople to human or the one that Seaspray love that she change herself to be a robot. As for Broadside it was that horrable one forgot the title but it had the aliens with singing voice
1:32 In the Diaclone concept art for Sunstreaker, Takara didn't show the squared-off, chunky fenders of the toy. Instead, they showed a car mode with the swoopy curves of a real Countach. And in the MP Sunstreaker mold, they did the same thing.
I really like what Furman did with Sunstreaker during his run on the IDW comics. However, I was introduced to the IDW version of the character through All Hail Megatron which really shows how his own ego can cause problems not just for the Autobots, but for the humans as well.
Sunstreaker has always been one of my favorite characters I thought could have had more done with him. I thought his look was cool and they could have explored his relationship with his brother sideswipe more
One of my all time favorite G1 Autobots! I heard a rumor that the only reason why we never got any re-issues of his G1 toy was because his mold was destroyed. I am happy there will be a Sunstreaker figure coming out though.
I was looking the other day to see if you had previously covered him and I missed it only to find you had not so was so glad to see this. As the Diakron DK 1 was my first transforming toy, I have always had a spot for sunstreaker. I just ordered the spinout combo pack early this morning on BBTS as I had to have him next to earthrise sunstreaker. Great vid, love this series, keep up the great work!
To me, Sunstreaker is all ego. But still. He ain't the guy that goes "all talk, no game". He's arrogant but not lazy. At least in my opinion, his arrogance is his words of self-encouragement.
Reminds me of one of Princess Candy's Disciple and Most Trusted Besties: The Egotistical and Eager Battle Armor-style Warrior Battlina! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Yes, my favourite character gets a retrospective before he's made another appearance outside of toy lines and comics. But seriously why has his brother been seen more than him in games/tv/films.
You honestly can't help but feel bad for Sunstreaker in the comics, having to sit there and watch his brother die, being forced to combine with Cosmos, Thundercracker, Sky Lynx and..what was the last guy's name? "Slugslinger" or something like that? Either way, I just feel like Sunstreaker was left out too much, and I'm glad that he's now got a new Earthrise figure, so at least folks can have both him and Sideswipe together again. That might've sounded a bit too mushy, but who cares
Hey Rod - I wanted to say thank you for this retrospective. It helped while digging for lore on Sunstreaker while working on some custom cards for the tf card game I made a video about.
Not my favorite Lamborghini toy, robot or personality, but I did own the toy growing up, so he's a very fond memory. Thanks, Primal. All that comic information about him is a huge main course to digest lol. I had no idea what an expansive history he had, narratively
In the IDW comics. Yeah. That was an undertaking to ensure I did him justice. I prefer his G1 cartoon character the most though and he deserves more spotlight.
@@RodimusPrimal I never read a single idw or dreamwave issue but I did grow up with the marvel comics. (My prize issue cover, before it got lost into the nether, was Spiderman swinging around Megatron in a capture web.) Thanks for doing so much research into these guys. Love the retros. Carry on. Till all are 1
The Diaclone have a jazzy intro 1:14 Origins of the twins 2:20 Sideswipe: Even in one arm Prime is primo. 4:27 Sunstreaker's voice actor 4:32 Sunstreaker: Hey that's a new paint job. 4:45 Spike: Man that's hot. Trailbreaker: Thanks for the help brothers. Sunstreaker: What about my paint? Sideswipe: Don't worry nobody will notice just make a left turn. Good point could be Tigertracks. 6:16 Male Sunstreaker to a female recolor of Arcee Sunstreaker means Sideswipe in that Transformers Animated universe could be his younger sister or not. 7:20 Tracks: I feel like a fool. Sunstreaker: Do you want to quit? Tracks: No but I still look like a fool. 7:36 The brother's pet go along with Thundercracker's dog and Skyfire's drone D.L.C. 10:50 12:58 Sunstreaker: I'm transforming I see my true beauty emerging. I think he need to be in games and movies with his brother. I always like the brother between him and Sideswipe. My brother give me a Netflix version Sideswipe toy and my sister give me a Sunstreaker toy too I am happy to have them thanks for the video.
G1 Sunstreaker was my first TF toy. And as much as I have always loved that toy, I never really liked how they treated this character in comic and toon. Sunstreaker being tortured they way he was in the comics really annoyed me. The character really never got a chance to shine while Sideswipe got a lot more love over the years. Sunstreaker also was denied a new toy until the Universe line. We didn't get another Deluxe until the Combiner Wars toys. At least he finally gets a good mold for the WFC Earthrise line.
Might I mention that Roll For it was the First ever Transformers episode I saw. SO SUNSTREAKER AND SIDESWIPE RIDING THE SEEKERS WAS THE COOLEST THING AS A KID.
My guess for why Sideswipe got more attention over the years is because SUnstreaker is yellow and has uses his car's cabin as his torso while the nose is his feet, like Bumblebee.
Always loved sunstreaker, never had the toy though. When I first saw him in the comics shooting down skywarp or thundercracker with his shoulder mounted rockets I was in love
Always liked sunstreaker..he was my third fav autobot soldier behind prowl and sideswipe...Love the jet judo they pull off on the deceptcons in the G1 cartoon.
Always thought that Sun Streaker was a jerk as a kid. He seemed like he really didn't give 2 craps about humans. The only reason I liked him cause him and Sideswipe was always together and was the 2 dopest car Autobots
Its why I love Tracks a lot more. Sunstreaker believes he is better than everyone else. Tracks likes how he looks in car mode but he will always try to do the right thing.
A lot of the generation one characters actually didn't get the screen time I recall as a kid.I own all three seasons of g1 and I've watched them multiple times over and over, most of the characters was kinda one or two episodes at most. Smokescreen,the twins,tracks,warpath,grapple especially, bluestreak to name a few are just there for sales of more toys. Its a shame really but that's the 80s for you, toys ,toys,toys. I'm also now two episodes into Armada and I'm really not feeling it story wise myself, most of the characters are reimagined so different I'm scratching my head a little. Anywho, great content with streaker as always. Top notch stuff always enjoy.

And take it now!
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker don't get enough love outside of the G1 continuity. Two brothers with opposing personalities both serving a cause they believe in on their own terms! I'd watch a show featuring them!
I'm surprised they didn't include this guy in War for Cybertron Siege considering the fact that the show was riddled with Sideswipe clones.
At least we're getting a figure in the Earthrise series.
To many'm clones of him and red alert
From what I could tell, the clones would make for some excellent comedy. Transformers: War for Cybertron: The Clone Wars
Sun streaker be like huh how many brothers do I have
Welp he got a mention in kingdom. So that’s something.
Loved Sideswipe and Sunstreaker not only because they were cool, capable fighters but because they introduced this only child to the concept of Transformers being able to have brothers.
His Headmaster storyline was... dark... especially after the Decepticon invasion of Earth.... Hunter didn’t deserve that....
At least he was put out of his misery.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Neither did sideswipe, I myself have an older brother, I always pray that one day I’m able to reconnect with him, but not in that type of scenario.😭
My most memorable moment for Sunstreaker would definitely be his moment with Chip and learning that humans have value too.
@@basedpota hi dude how are you

Brush,u just took the words right out of my mouth
I mean, Sunstreaker is a sociopath, he even has total contempt for his brother. He's a monster in comparison to Tracks or even Knockout
Hope Sunstreaker get more love he sound like a very interested character
@Yusuf Eltalkhawy like the idw version of sunstreaker
@rudy2fat no that was Sideswipe, but he died in Phase 3 which was way later, Sunstreaker lived to the end he did get a fake death thou.
I love Sunstreaker. He's my third favourite behind Mirage and Wheeljack
It would be fun to see him developing rivalries with other narcisist transformers like Tracks or Knock Out. Or a one sided rivalry with Springer, who is considered one of the most handsome autobots.
Well, blaster did mentioned that tracks is not as egoistic as sunstreaker.
The best would be Sunstreaker vs Sky Lynx
in some of my fanfic, Tracks and Sunstreaker get jabs in at one another occasionally about who's prettier. ;)
Oh I can imagine springer and sunstreaker arguing over who's more handsome when hot rod comes up to them and they ask him to tell Who's handsomer and hot rod saying neither it's hot rod the handsomest and all three then just breaking into a brawl. (I personally prefer springer)😆😝😏

Always thought Sunstreaker could have been used more in both the comics and the cartoons. His character is very similar to that of Tracks.
Ohh yeah sunstreaker! Aka one of the most criminally underrated autobots out there! War for cybertron trilogy, please use sunstreaker more!
I feel like he got cut short after that comic book,showing he had difficulty becoming a headmaster.
Many wave 1 G1 autobots get overlooked Blue Streak and Sun Streaker are two of the most overlooked and my favs
Definitely want more Sunstreaker, especially as a brother combo. I really liked the brother bots as a duo.
I'm surprised Sunstreaker and Tracks didn't talk more often. Their mutual vanity would've been fun to watch.
0:07 reasonably paranoid since he doesn’t know when he’s gonna get killed
Poor Sunstreaker didn't show up in Netflix WFC, and even worse is that Kingdom implies he died before the series even began.
The idea of sunstreaker and sideswipe being brothers is cool.

Always has been one off my favorites! More Sunstreaker is always wanted.

He's my favourite to with his twin sideswipe it pissed me of in the one transformers movie they put sideswipe in it but not sunstreaker I mean u can't have one brother without the other it's an insult
Yes sunstreaker
I've been obsessed with him ever since I discovered some old G1 artbook/calendar my brother had. The toy artwork was mesmerizing and the idea of a Countach with dual superchargers and intake scoops was wild.
Not gonna Lie you RodimusPrimal You are a Legend for not Forgeting Transformers
IDW and Dreamwave both did it, and I love them for it, but I'd be really really happy to see the brothers team up on screen again.
I *LOVED* Dreamwave's Transformers comics! The artwork and stories were on point 👍It was a truly sad day when Dreamwave shut down 😫

I’m glad Sunstreaker get’s to rise again with Transformers Reactivate, at least he has returned
Great video! Sunstreaker is one of my favorite TFs along with his bro Sideswipe and Jetfire.
One of the things that I have always liked about Sunstreaker is the fact that he could and would back up easily everything that was in his abilities, just like Sky Lynx would and could!!! He is a very effective Autobot Warrior. Sky Lynx's motto: "The best achievements are worth repeating."
Couldn't think of a better way to kick off labor day weekend than another Rodimus Primal retrospective 👍👍

Yo Sunstreaker is the most underrated character ever
That was an interesting retrospective on Sunstreaker, but that was the weirdest comic book story explanation on him I've ever heard.
But it was Messed up Very messed up
I think sunstreaker is amazing I hope he gets more stories about him because he's really awesome ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Sunstreaker has always been one of my favorite characters I thought could have had more done with him. I thought his look was cool and they could have explored his relationship with his brother sideswipe more
Sideswipe was the first transformer I bought, never owned Sunstreaker for some reason. Man it's just good to relive my childhood through these videos.

Sunstreaker was one of the toys you could send out for with the points of back of the boxes in the extra toys catalog
i like sunstreaker design and personality.
My guess for why Sideswipe got more attention over the years is because SUnstreaker is yellow and has uses his car's cabin as his torso while the nose is his feet, like Bumblebee.
Sunstreaker was one of my favorites. Instant car show when he appears.
This was an eye catching Transformers video RodimusPrimal!!!!!! :D
I love this man's voice
Always loved sunstreaker, never had the toy though. When I first saw him in the comics shooting down skywarp or thundercracker with his shoulder mounted rockets I was in love
Always liked sunstreaker..he was my third fav autobot soldier behind prowl and sideswipe...Love the jet judo they pull off on the deceptcons in the G1 cartoon.
Great Videos on Sunstreaker I enjoy watching this videos on your channel
Yay the best yellow autobot
Can't wait to get the Earthrise Sunstreaker. I hope they release a ER Sideswipe too!
My all time favorite!!!
Always thought that Sun Streaker was a jerk as a kid. He seemed like he really didn't give 2 craps about humans. The only reason I liked him cause him and Sideswipe was always together and was the 2 dopest car Autobots
Its why I love Tracks a lot more. Sunstreaker believes he is better than everyone else. Tracks likes how he looks in car mode but he will always try to do the right thing.
@@RodimusPrimal didn't know they was brother though. Just thought they was "tight" BFF's
A lot of the generation one characters actually didn't get the screen time I recall as a kid.I own all three seasons of g1 and I've watched them multiple times over and over, most of the characters was kinda one or two episodes at most. Smokescreen,the twins,tracks,warpath,grapple especially, bluestreak to name a few are just there for sales of more toys. Its a shame really but that's the 80s for you, toys ,toys,toys. I'm also now two episodes into Armada and I'm really not feeling it story wise myself, most of the characters are reimagined so different I'm scratching my head a little. Anywho, great content with streaker as always. Top notch stuff always enjoy.
