QC warning re: Sunstreaker and Prowl

[Onslaught Six]

Sunstreaker I'll likely get Takara's flavour of too, but as I'm still planning the DIaclone parts-swap with a spare Sideswipe, may as well go Hasbro for that. Gives me something else to buy when they do finally come out here, heh.

Now that I think of it, it'd be wise to get Hasbro Streaker to make Yellow Sideswipe out of. Help distinguish them even more.

[onslaught86]

That, and it's cheaper..

[Dominic]

Heh, I bet there are roing to be a good many yellow Sideswipe figures, aka Tiger-track, floating around.

[onslaught86]

Hmm, there's a point. Thanks to Sunstreaker's lost mould, they haven't reissued him, and thus his Diaclone version has no established name. Thoughts?

[Onslaught Six]

It's simple, really. Sunstreaker's preproduction name was Spinout.

[Dominic]

Well, Spinout it is. Or, maybe "Streak-swipe", whose holographic driver moons people in passing.

Dom
-mooning is cool.

[onslaught86]

Spinout gets the win. I heartily approve.

Y'know, the more you guys talk about this Diaclone part-swap, the more it makes me think I would want to do it. I mean, it's easy to do, and it would bolster my Classics Autobot forces.... Hm, now I'm gonna be tempted whenever I see a spare Suntreaker in stores.

Would this make them Lamborghini Quadruplets?

[onslaught86]

Of course not. Don't be silly, Prowl. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are brothers, but the Seekers aren't, despite actually being the same mould.

Yeah, I dunno how robots are brothers in the first place, but whutevah.

As far as the Seekers go, it's a military uniform-type thing. Say, Megatron had a fairly powerful design for an air trooper drawn up, and the most qualified flyers went for it, sacrificing individuality for a more powerful form. Makes perfect sense to me.
