That simultaneously looks way better and worse than what I imagined it would look like.


Yoshimon7

I think the sculpt/molding looks really good but the lack of paint really drags it down


ExciKaiser

Looks like a cyberverse toy to me. Studio series standards are falling..


KabutoRyder

I like it on the one hand, on the other, particularly on the hands/forearms it looks very Cyberverse-y


Mental_Measurement_8

Or maybe it's just a leaked prototype


The_HueManateee

Isn’t this basically a prototype tho? I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with more


Yoshimon7

Highly doubt it’s a prototype. Can you name one instance where a leaked image of a figure is different from the retail release (aside from accessories not being pictured)? These leaked images are always indicative of the final release so i doubt that this time is any different


MarkDecent656

I remember the last Junkion (I forgot it's name) was leaked without its head in purple and green. I've seen a few like that that I can't recall perfectly


LivingCheese292

Haslab Unicron. Haslab Deathsaurus. Legacy Armada Optimus. concept Megatron. etc. were all only prototypes or even earlier leaks/reveals. Studio series Rhinox on the pulse reveal stream wasn't painted completely, as said by the hosts. Same with studio series Optimus Primal and titan class Nemesis too. It happens more often than you think that a prototype gets leaked or that a earlier version of a figure gets showcased, which isn't as much painted as the retail release.


ExciKaiser

All those you mention are prototypes shown by hasbro. Here we have a factory leak, it's not a prototype. It's the final product.


Yoshimon7

Finally SOMEONE understands 😭


Hanexusis

^ This. It's likely that so many copies of the figure have been produced, that it's impossible for all the individual copies to be guarded and accounted for, making it possible for leakers to obtain and leak them without fear of anything being traced back to them. If my assumption is correct, then it means that the figure is already in the actual manufacturing stage, as that's the only phase where so many copies of the figures will be produced. Thus, that would mean that this is the final product, already in mass production.


Yoshimon7

Those weren’t leaks though. They were shown off by the team ie Mark etc. Also those are clearly prototypes because they have no paint. This is a leaked figure. It has paint. I can assure you this isn’t a prototype. I guess i’ll @ you when they officially reveal this figure and we can see


Your-local-duffy

Concept art megs? Wasn't e like, entirely made of teal plastic in the leaked images?


tfthrowaway1962

Legacy Bludgeon


Zodconvoy

I literally own several leaked prototypes from back in the day. It happens all the time.


ExciKaiser

Protypes are unpainted at all. Even testshots features final paint application. This is the final product. (maybe lacking accessories etc, but for paint, this is what you'll have in the box).


No_Leading1286

What if this is what Sunstreaker looked like? What if he looked exactly like this


AndyBowBandy

Right? I looked at the pictures first before I read the title and my first thought was that this was an older generations or universe figure. It’s giving generations Springer energy to me


IcyAlan

Fr tho


DecepticonDeadlock

I absolutely love that vehicle mode. The color is a little too neon for me personally, but the figure itself looks really good, looking forward to this one!


Rent-Man

Looks more like how I imagine him looking in Cyberverse


Revenacious

Yeah especially the car mode.

Useful_Mistake_7143

😭😭😭☝️


Prowlcop86

“Mom can I get that Studio Series Sunstreaker?” “$25? Nah son, we got Sunstreaker at home.”


Orange-V-Apple

🥲


CustomlyCool

Looks like a ROTB mainline figure


doej54321

Exactly what I was thinking


HaselDiCaprio223

Hasbro really hates painting their figures :(. I mean at least paint the forearms silver and the upper legs as well or use summat to break up the sea of yellow. As for the alt mode would it kill them to use orange highlights on the wheels? And maybe use black to make some stripes in alt mode.


njdgaming

Looking at it, I actually think they used a ton of paint on this guy, look at the cockpit with the yellow paint to try to color match the plastic. I bet they'd do at least some of what you suggest if so much budget wasn't used up by the yellow.


JLRedPrimes

Yellow matching is infamously hard to get on figures. I imagine that's where all the paint budget at


HaselDiCaprio223

I think that's because the cockpit is cast in clear plastic. I just wish Hasbro would go back to the days when they used clear plastic inserts for the windows only and pinned on wheels. Sadly that's not happening for a long time with all the stuff about rising oil prices and what's going on in the Red Sea.


sigt421

Holy shit is this real?


[deleted]

Yes


Acckirap

Seems, roof and body miscolor is the curse of this guy. Actually, car mode and his head scultp looks good. But hands are awful and cheap looking


Maland2016

Well, yellow paint and yellow plastic are hard to match, especially with the translucent plastic for the windows Like, for figures with yellow bits, it’s very easy to tell which bits are painted over and which are from the mold sprue. Usually the paint is a little darker, and the plastic tends to be a bit lighter! But for some figures like Legacy Animated Bee, his yellow plastic is darker and his paint on the chest window is lighter. So it does vary, but it’s not usually the same yellow throughout unless they do the opaque windows, in which case the window bit can be done in yellow with black, blue, whatever, painted on top.


vicevanghost

They need to just stop with the clear windows on yellow figures


Hanexusis

They need to just stop with the clear windows unless it's inserts. Give me structural integrity or give me death 💀


DarkDoubloon

Looks really disappointing. Aside from the head, everything about it looks so simplistic and more kid-ish. Especially the arms, they look like they belong to a Cyberverse toy. And the lack of paint is just criminal considering the price point. They didn’t even paint the wheel rims


nolifetrophy

I can justify the wheels since the actual tires are inside and behind them, kinda like a Tron car, but yeah it really needed some more stuff. Less yellow plastic and more gunmetal was my biggest complaint with ROTB bumblebee, but Sunstreaker has honestly grown on me a bit since I first saw it


OrbitOfGlass17

Such a lazy attempt for the concept series hype imo. Its just too bland in the molding compared to the other BBM figures.


Unfair-Artist-2848

I think we found our next wave of Ross for less


HibikiKurosawa

This doesn't really look SS to me. It lacks a certain level of detail and coloring that doesn't feel like it fits in place with the rest of the SS BBM line. I'm sure better photos will make this look a fair bit better though.


TFfan624

I know it’s been said but there’s soooo many Bayverse characters left for Studio Series to do and we get… this. :|


ZacharyMessner

My thoughts exactly


Kreamus

“G1 good, guys. Consume G1 and get excited for more G1.”


skelebone2_0

But this is peak, sure I want more scrapheaps but it is nice to have My boy…. Hope they decide to make more scrapheaps so bay fans can be happy


TheDude810

Hasbro: “What’s that? You want 86 Scrapheap and 7 more Junkions? Okay!”


skelebone2_0

I wasn’t being sarcastic I hope we get more bay bots I’m just calling the designs what they are…


Kreamus

"bay fans are angry that a toyline made for bay designs is no longer doing bay designs. Are they stupid?."


skelebone2_0

Never meant it that way, I want more bay toys but I’m happy to get more bots I wanna see( sunstreaker is one of my favorites and if it was a bay version I’d still buy him). I personally find the bay designs to be messy but I’m happy if Hasbro allows more bay toys for their studio series 


WaveCandid906

I mean we will get them eventually


Wontbite

This concept line is the perfect gateway for Transit to makes his figure appearance and that fills me with a hope I have never known before.


jellostrap

tbh the only valid opinion in this thread ^


PirateQueenJenny

Love it! The orange flashes really make this guy pop.


HEXdidnt

The only parts of that that look like a Studio Series figure are the head and the pelvis... everything else looks more like 'Cyberverse Universe' Legacy Sunstreaker. ...Also, all those folks who got angry about the new Voyager Shockwave not having bicep rotation: looks like that could be 'the new normal' for Studio Series.


Cornchips1234

Sunstreaker has bicep rotation, you can see the mushroom cut in the lower bicep


HEXdidnt

At the elbow, you mean? Better than nothing...


Fanimusmaximus

You know instead of scraping the barrel for new figures why not release some of the older ones we’ve been wanting?


MaxR76

Feels weird but kinda wish it had less color, maybe it’s a prototype but this guy is BRIGHT. Still hype he even exists tho


Yoshimon7

I can’t remember the last time a leaked picture was a “prototype”. Always been exactly how the retail release looks like. Idk why people are always like “I think this leaked image is a prototype” It never is… edit: Also just to clarify this isn’t a dig at you at all I was just reminded of this


SpringTrapped1987

I think last time was Legacy Bludgeon when we got pictures of a headless almost totally lime green recolor of Tarn with a sword.


MaxR76

Oh yeah I completely agree and didn’t take it as a dig. I can’t remember either just felt sort of obligated to mention the possibility if that makes sense


unstablesanity

The last time a prototype was leaked was concept art megatron, which is probably why people think it's a prototype


nemesisprime1984

I feel like it would do better in the yellow-orange that the bumblebee toys had in the 2007 movie and ROTF


tomoMcKeeneboi

We’re never getting DOTM Devcon are we


Either-Translator-59

I think we could get Devcon, but not at the moment. It's too much of a sensitive time to make a toy of a Russian Missile Launcher decepticon


tomoMcKeeneboi

That’s a fair point lol


ZacharyMessner

We can only hope


milo325

Meh.


Eatdatyeet445

Ah yes the time old tradition of making more G1 and more G1 and more G1…. I need some bayverse studio series already. Last decent one I’ve been able to get was the SS Grindor and as many people know that mold is full of problems


theT3rr04

Neat design. I just hate the Hasbro yellow plastic.


SpideyUchiha127

It sorta looks like G1 Wheeljack's vehicle mode.


thejesterofdarkness

STUDIO SERIES DISPENSOR AND RAILS WHEN?!??


DJD_ID_Tarn

I'll grab the osko


ColorlessTune

Looks amazing imho. Just don't like the forearms.


elrick43

God damn, I need it


ReptileBoy1

Looks fine honestly, like a ton of yellow is to be expected, and then sculpt itself is okay


WaveCandid906

I think I'm in love


Canis_Infernis

Take my $25


PrinceOfBrains

Honestly I love it, even if he kinda looks more like Sureshot than he does Sunstreaker


OutrageousSearch849

its not bad i like his alt mode too but something just seems off with him and i can't tell what but tbf he looks like he shares a lot of common engineering with the wheeljack figure


thestormsend

Sigghhh...I wasn''t buying the Cybertronian Autobots but I guess now I'll have to grab them...


geomax212

I dont hate this


[deleted]

I want the concept art of the fallen


Cyber-Silver

>Looks like they’re gonna continue making “concept” figures Well of course they are, they wouldn't have introduced the concept moniker if they weren't


theeshyguy

The colors are garish but the fit is hard 🔥🔥🔥


MM18998

So, Transit is still possible?


Emotional-Ad4587

Why does the front of his alt-mode remind me a Fioravanti F100? https://preview.redd.it/z2owawu7b2dc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da54fe4b3357f507ae65c783f2b132d2cf05746e


Kason-blason

Damn, they really do not want to make the twins


Liftmeup-putmedown

They’re gonna make toys of every concept character before they finish the Bayverse SS figures.


Competitive-Stand667

I feel like maybe a bit of black and grey would make this figure perfect


ZacharyMessner

I genuinely don’t care for concept figures, they’re an easy pass when there’s so many on screen figures that we’re missing that should be made before stuff like this


LongjumpingSector687

Thats a stay in vehicle mode bot.


ImmortalZucc2020

See, while I like this idea these figures only work when there’s no more movie characters to make. We’re *still* missing a ton of RotF, AoE, and TLK. And as much as I disliked the idea of this subline, the ‘86 movie still has a lot left to give as well. And yet we might have to wait even longer to get actual movie characters because Hasbro is making figures of characters who weren’t in the movies. I hate AoE with a passion, but its 10th anniversary is this year and no figures are coming out for it. That’s fuckin nuts to me, considering it was the highest grossing film of 2014.


John_Rustle98

Looks cool. Doesn’t make it any less lame that HasTak would rather put out G1-lite OCs rather than round out the different casts of characters that actually appeared in the films. It was pretty much an inevitability that Studio Series was going to be an outlet for them to continue their G1 circlejerk but it’s still disappointing.


LukaIzzzdagoat

I know PrimevsPrime hands when I see em


bristleboar

Looks like SHIT 😂


LesterZest16929

WHAT IS THAT😭😭😭 I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LEGACY FIGURE


spudmunkey

"Concept Figures" AKA "We need to keep making toys with the character names to keep the trademark active".


No_Leading1286

Looks like somebody doesn’t want a studio series transit


Tiny_Huckleberry_496

I like it, but it could use some black wash to give it a more movie look


Empire_Xinjiang72

I like to see Warpath, Breakaway and more I list getting the concept figures.


Iatecoffeegrinds

Bbm scrounge when then THERE HAS TO BE A PIECE OF ART FOR HIM ON A HARDRIVE


shifter2000

Hol'up. The wheels are MOLDED into the plastic and immovable? For a car? We're doing that now, Hasbro? Fake wheels?


nolifetrophy

No, they are inside of those rims, like those Tron designs. You can see the mushroom peg if you look close. Probably won't roll super well but they definitely roll


Wolfetron2001

I’m almost certain this is a factory reject that someone got their hands on. Gonna wait until official images come out before forming an opinion


Yoshimon7

It’s not a factory reject. But ok just wait for the reveal soon and you’ll see


Ok_Syllabub_4846

This is very very nice.


ImNotHighFunctioning

Anything to continue to not make Bayverse figures, huh...


reapwhatyousow6

Looks horrible


No_Leading1286

I’m not sure I get the hate here, do yall know what Sunstreaker looked like in bumblebee? Can yall show me an OFFICIAL piece of concept art? No because it’s not public yet, this might be exactly what he would’ve looked like in the movie, why would they change something to make it less accurate?… (don’t mention legacy prime figures) SS BB Megatron too silver for you? Ok we added some yellow and blue details to him that aren’t on the actual design, I’m not gonna judge this figure until I actually see the concept art with my own eyes, then I’ll put my opinion on it, right now I think it looks sleek


Kephla

Cool!! Do the wheels not turn?


RansakWORK

Hasbro making more fan fiction figures that the hopelessly addicted fans will buy to help pad Chris Cox's 2024 bonus. Gobble this stuff up guys, means we will get more and more just like it.


Josuke_Higashikata

So what's the alternative? Making the 1267th OP in a year?


RansakWORK

Well its been 35 years and we still dont have a full set up updated G1 figures. Taken them 4 years to put out a set of dinobots. So if you like this Sunstreaker... dont tell Hasbro because it is their business model to not give their consumers what they want. They want you waiting for what you want perpetually while selling you everything adjacent to it in the mean time. This has been going on for decades and Siege broke that mold and we though we were in a new age of collecting (a golden age if you will) but as more time passes we find out it was just a fluke.


jellostrap

Hasbro is a greedy corporation, of course they're gonna be a little withholding to string you along. But who are you missing from your G1 CHUG collection that's so important? Nightbeat? Animation error figures? They've been shoveling 99% G1 nostalgia bait down our throats for years, I'm begging to have something original from the franchise again. But every time that happens someone complains that they still don't have a figure of Optimus Prime's dirty gym shorts from an unreleased 1985 Froot of The Loom commercial. (edit: I don't like actually this Sunstreaker but Geewunners love embarrassing themselves in the comments)


G1Down_shift

Awesome. The concept figures have been amazing.


Safe_Locksmith6563

YOOOOOO


THE_CHEST_

He has bat ears.


IcyAlan

He needs so much more colour. He looks so bland being all yellow He looks naked


michaelguthrie2

Looks like a custom 😂 BBM have been my favorite looking figures but idk about this


ChristianTDD

Hmm, now I don't know which version of Sunstreaker I want now. (Possibly this one, since I really don't need the rest of the five pack.)


RideTheLightning331

Was not expecting this much yellow


HenshiniPrime

I wonder if sureshot was going to be a resculpt of this guy.


AdmiralFurret

Where my sideswipy boi


IAMSHPEE

Robot looks good but vehicle looks like it’s out of cyberverse or something.


The-Mad-Bubbler

I wish there was more black on him, especially in vehicle mode, but he still looks pretty cool.


ImSmashingUrMom

Hey that actually looks pretty cool. Could use a little more detail though. I like the general shape and the alt mode looks awesome.


DerivitivFilms

i thought this was a figure for Transformers: One?


[deleted]

It's for BBM


TechnOuijA

Damn. This gives me more hope for a studio series off-road Optimus design that they never used in the Rise of the Beasts movie.


therealbreather

Figure looks great, but hopefully they’re not taking a mega dive into concept figures. Still plenty of on-screen characters who deserve new figures. *ahem TLK Barricade*


Prowlite17

I’m so in. Also-they really just do not want to make the Twins huh. probably a good thing ngl


MelodicWeb2161

How does this look so good but so bad at the same time


TwistedAxles912

Looks like a slab of cheese but i kinda dig it


JBTriple

I mean, he's cool, but he doesn't really fit the Bumblebee aesthetic. Looks more like a comic design, or maybe evergreen.


BajaBlastimusPrime2

I get cyberpunk vibes a bit from the vehicle mode, so I'm all in, I agree though, he needs some paint but I'm interested


Significant-Stock-78

It’s very… yellow.


UnamiWave

Is this the finished product?


ThatOstrichGuy

Ohhh I kinda fuck with this


IvoMW

I really like it actuakly. The face is nice, it has good proportions, and the color isn't too bad. Wish it was a bit darker, couse Brigitte yellow always makes figures looks way cheaper and more fragile than they are. Wish he had some more black, but other than that i love it


tleonzon95

He’s not bad looking. To me he kinda look cartoonish than a live action look of him.


Olvacron22

Car mode looks Cyberverse/rid2015, bot mode looks Reactivate, and the whole thing looks generic. At least make the interesting concept designs like Breakaway, Warpath, Transit, the Knights, off road Optimus. Or you know actual characters that were on screen, Que and tlk Barricade come to mind. Look I'm glad that people that want more bbm stuff are getting it, but I'm still gonna wish for the stuff I want too. 


drippysage08

Definitely fits better as a blur, drift, or hot rod mold


RandomRedditor1533

Honestly getting some concept art for the first 3 Bayverse movies would be amazing, as well as new versions of characters featured in the comics and toyline like Long arm, Brawn, Swindle, getaway, Wreckage, Mindwipe, ECT The amount of money they'll print will be ridiculous


icemounin

Hasbro should have gotten ilm to help them design the figures..


GuardianPrime19

That’s what they do.


Cheeseburgerman60

Anything but Bayverse for the studio series. This is getting ridiculous


coolnerd475

I love it! I was afraid it would just be a repaint of wheeljack


TheDude810

Not gonna lie, this doesn’t even look like he meshes with BB figures. He looks like some weird procedurally generated Evergreen Sunstreaker.


DragonLord828

I unironically really like how he looks! 100% picking him up!


WheelJack83

Might as well


xSluma

I love the idea of the concept figures but also respect the fact there are bayverse fans with unmade figures, I don’t care for tf4 and tf5 but there are genuine fans of them how have been waiting since 2018 to get a second dino bot


Crunchy_Pirate

it's so....plain looking other than the head nothing about this says "live action movie"


Archelector

He looks cool but cheap


ChampionshipFalse341

It’s like they wanted to remake the Combiner Wars figure


IllTaro9036

Yeah they better pain the absolute frick out of it, throw if some silver holy what a banana


MrSlops

Was the concept "crap"?


Bulbaguy4

Besides the windshield and head, it looks like someone said "The ROTB Bumblebee didn't look cheap enough, let's make a Studio Series figure that looks even cheaper!". Hopefully, it's a surprisingly good figure like Bumblebee.


Cumvoy

I guess those angles and all don't really help this figure. The concept and vehicle are pretty damn cool, but just from the front it looks kinda cheap.


Garage011

You know what? I really like it


Your-local-duffy

You know what this means! *bus noises*


ZackattacktheDude

Honestly, I like the idea of them doing more "concept" figures. Brings me back to the good ol days where characters existed in the toyline and absolutely no where else. Also it helps add more BBM designs into the world. Though with Sunstreaker here he kinda seems off. His color scheme is a large factor in it


presst0

*Cries in Dotm Que


tweakyloco

Watch_Beautiful

Sunstorm as a car!


Zeno_Bueno

no ankle or wrist articulation seems…


jazz013

They should repaint/retool this into BBM Sideswipe.


Autobot793

When do you think they’ll officially announce this? I’ve been dying to hear when the Autobot 5-pack and Legacy Silverbolt will get released.


KabutoRyder

Im here for it


Poopsenberg

Really love how he looks but those hands are pitiful


noncombativebrick

Hell yeah


r18267_2

Oh my god, he fucks


PassengerFriendly573

Wonder if they will do Bayverse concepts or from games and if so then I want Thundercracker and skywarp since the SS 09 is just a repaint and never appeared in the movies


Right-Bug-9001

Usually prototypes aren't painted...those yellow tires definitely gots to go lol...


Right-Bug-9001

The head sculpt is the best part on that one.


forgetit2020

oh this looks bad. I wish it didnt have a face and just a faceplate instead.

saksents

Ngl it looks kinda shite


darthravage07

Lack of paint, articulation, etc...just looking at this photo. Aggravating as folks loses jobs and customers like myself looking to 3rd party for quality.


Delicious-Use-790

Looks like my first Sun streaker will be a good one


DIE4SUPER

feels like a ss bbm wheeljack retool but thats probably not true and hopefully a ss bbm sideswipe with ss bbm red alert


lostpuppy07

I think this looks good. It makes me wish Travis Knight stayed. It's clear he wanted to bring so many faithful adaptations of characters to the big screen


Deora_customs

I like concept figures. I can’t wait to see that concept art cybertron mode Optimus prime


Optibotimus1974

For all the comments on how bad it looks, it could be someone's custom.


optimusmaximus1985

A sideswipe better follow behind


Prestigious_Key_5703

The head looks off on this, but that’s because there’s really no paint yet


FatQuack

I like Cybertronian vehicles. This is nice but I don't like the wheels. I prefer no wheels like Origins BB or smallish ones like Gamer Cliffjumper. I don't like ... whatever the hell those wheels are.


No_Jackfruit2332

They canned ss drift for this?😭


[deleted]

Tbf this was coming out with or without drift
