If you don't like the ears you can't really do anything, because that's a character icon.

And the G1 toy had some pretty pronounced ears.

I totally want the streaker! Those ears better not be final though. They look like badly cut/painted pieces of styrene.

You know, it won't happen, but wouldn't it be incredibly cool if they made a Headmaster version of this to tie-in with the current IDW comics?

OMG! I love the way Hasbro is squeezing two different robot modes out of the same mold! (not sarcasm)

Total agreement. And it looks like it's more than a "spin the head around" transformation, too. Look at the inner leg, just above the wheel, you can see a black joint that would work as a knee joint with the "wheel" portion of the leg on the side instead of the front/back. I think these two robots from the same mold will look surprisingly different - it's the next evolution from how well they planned Classics Screamer to become Ramjet.

 

I'd love to see them do a major retool of this mold (like, new kind of car major) into a Classics Punch/Counterpunch, and to see Hasbro apply this kind of engineering to lots of future figures (Optimus/Magnus?), whether they be G1 throwbacks or not. It makes the repaints much more desirable.

agree... it also allows for a degree of fan customization w/o requiring paint brushes or a Dremel.

 

Mmmm... can you feel the fan love for this figure...lol. :tflaugh

He's too small... Hunter would have to be like Micromachine sized...

(That said, I wholly expect someone to kitbash SS a headmaster once he's released...)

A gimmick I'd like to see reused (if executed properly, I personally hated the latest incarnation) is the SWTF Millennium Falcon - 2 bots that become one vehicle mode, yeah it was used on Micromasters too, but the way it was done hardly counts in my honest opinion. For what its worth, use 1 alt mode, with 2 small separate robot modes, and a larger combined robot mode. I can't think of any existing characters that this could be used for, but I do think it would be fun.

 

Well, if they started doing Powermaster homages, it might work for Gigatron (or Overlord, whichever sub you follow). One base, 2 vehicles, one robot.

I like the look of it. TYVM BK! :thumb

Well look at what I had on my clipboard: http://www.tfu.info/1987/Autobot/Punch/punch.htm ( :pfx BTW!)

EDIT

 

 

also, i'm not sure what's up with all the secrecy, i mean the pic is heavily watermarked. it is the internet, do they just expect these things to not get out? *remembers the first classics leaks and waits on hasbro to post the pic in a day or two*

 

oh and by first classics leaks (since there was some confusion on my last comment about it) the club did this with the first run of classics.

 

as for sunstreaker himself i gotta say, not too bad at all. deffinately will have a home on my classics shelf.
