    Yeah, the belief is that the shoulder rockets on Sunstreaker's shoulders were meant to be the rocket pack for Sideswipe, and that the huge piston like arms on Sunstreaker were meant to be Sideswipe's piledriver arms. Huh, in that sense I guess you could head canon Spin-Out as an alternate universe Sideswipe.

    Sunstreaker has a giant jetpack like structure on his back.
    And most noticeably those weird red body panels.

    The red shoulder stickers were left unchanged from the Diaclone toy. They're supposed to cover up the black plastic and match the rest of the deco, which works when they're the right colour.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

    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.
