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!

@cyberprime9355 4 года назад

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.

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.

Always thought Sunstreaker could have been used more in both the comics and the cartoons. His character is very similar to that of Tracks.

@captainfantastic9158 4 года назад

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! 😂

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.

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.

"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.

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.

@Sunswipes 4 года назад

he is what we call a "try hard". He thinks he's superior to others but it's just reckless behavior caused by a need for attention. Unlike Skylynx he can't back up his boasts with merit. Skylynx is the idealised version of Sunstreaker but without the shallow obsession with surface beauty. If Sunstreaker didn't show off he could be as reliable as Jazz who is ACTUALLY cool but has merit as special ops guy. Try hard cool < real cool.

Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Overdrive are my all time favorites. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe because the cars are awesome, Overdrive because it was the first toy I was able to order through the mail even though it felt like it took a year to come in. I also managed to get a custom mail order exclusive GI Joe from an offer in the back of a comic (I think). The offer allowed you to name the Joe, Choose abilities and equipment, write a back story for the card, and even use your own face if you sent in a recent photo. To be honest, it didn't really look much like me, though I pretended it did. I think I still have him somewhere. It's strange that I can't find any mention of the offer anywhere, though I know for a fact it did happen.
