Punch/Counterpunch by Jin Saotome

Anyone remember this guy(s)? It's Punch/Counterpunch, the G1 Doublespy! His wiki http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Punch describes him as a nervous wreck, and I can see why. There's more to this guy than meets the eye! Oh man, that was on the fly, such a horrible rhyme that I could cry.Punch (and/or Counterpunch) was made from a Classics 2 Universe Sunstreaker. Sunstreaker just happens to have arms that can articulate both ways and knees with dual hinges. This means a completly different bot-mode when you spin some parts around. His head was created from a movie Incenerator and Microman head, shaved in half and stuck together. I had to really work on that so the head still slid down into his chest via the transformation gimick. A slick paintjob later and he, er, they were done! Enjoy.

Stellar.

:clap Side-who? I want to see this guy released, instead!

 

Great work, Jin. Just curious, how did you get the doors to stick at the sides? Whenever I try to get Sunstreaker to do it, one door keeps dropping down beneath his arm, so there they stay.

I recently rewatched the "Rebirth" G1 episodes and forgot how bad Punch/Counterpunch sucked as a character.

 

"Hey guys, my autobot brother is gonna be nearby. Just lemme step outside the doorway for a sec!"

 

(two seconds later)

 

"Haha!! I bet you didn't know I was here!"

 

Ugh terrible character.

 

Jin's work is of course awesome as usual though! :thumb

Thanks for the cool comments!

 

And yeah, he was a cheezy character, lol. I just enjoy doing obscure characters.

Bad.@$$. rendition! You managed to give him/them a PROPER form... (now how about rewriting ALL their lines from the show?)

 

Thanks for sharing another textbook example of cool redux.

I actually quite liked Punch/counterpunch as cheesy as his story was

 

any ways awesome toy and good use of the toys gimmick

Nice! Does he have a face shield or something that you can flip over to cover the face that's not in use?

I Second this question.

And add: What head(s) did you use?
