And most noticeably those weird red body panels.

Most 21st Century Sunstreaker toys have "corrected" this by not having red shoulders, except for Alternators Sunstreaker (but not Binaltech!)

Pre-ordered without hesitation.

I'm not sure why I'm so eager to add this repaint to my collection but I'm still on the fence with MP-49 Nemesis Prime.

Also the 2003 OTFCC, and the 2008 universe (& henkei) also had red shoulders in some way.

Never heard of it so an easy pass. And considering how much I hate MP Sunstreaker, definitely not adding another.

Sideswipe is the one and only red Countach. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.

I dig it. The head seems off to me proportion wise.

Some more official images have been found, now that it has been listed at other online stores.

The toy comes with the two guns that the yellow Sunstreaker came with, plus a missile for the wrist that came with Cordon. Aside from spare side mirrors, it looks to be the only accessories with this "redeco" (no new parts, but has Cordon's head on Sunstreaker's body).

The comparative prices of this mould...
2017 - Sunstreaker - 12,000yen (several accessories including both guns and Chip Chase, but no missile)
2018 - Cordon - 14,000yen (three remoulded panels, new head, and less accessories)
2020 - Spinout - 13,200yen (redeco Cordon without roof lights, and less accessories)

Based on the differences for each of the three toys, the pricing difference looks to make sense... it's just that the original mould was VERY expensive for a regular sized Masterpiece Autobot car (which were all 7000-8000yen in the two years before Sunstreaker came out).

nope, I do too. with the more detailed leg panels. I literally want Spinout in Sunstreaker colours, which is the original toy I guess.

I think the Spinout leg panels are the same as Cordon, on Sunstreaker they are flat, on cordon and Spinout they are griebly.

Even though I have BC version, I'll likely buy this one too. Can't have too many lol
