On a hot Streak 

Joining his twin brother Sideswipe in the Transformers Masterpiece collection, Takara Tomy’s MP-39 Sunstreaker is finally here and ready to join your Masterpiece collection. Just try to keep up with this headstrong autobot during any adventure.

Bearing a striking yellow color scheme and constructed with high quality ABS plastic using modern manufacturing techniques, MP-39 Sunstreaker looks as good and glorious as he did during his G1 days. His updated Masterpiece design looks good in both robot and alt mode. As with most other Masterpiece figures, Sunstreaker comes with a character card and instruction manual covering his simple transformation process.

MP-39 Sunstreaker’s alternate mode lives up to the Masterpiece tradition. Officially licensed by the famous Italian car company Lamborghini, Sunstreaker’s alt mode is a super charged Countach LP500S with a massive chrome plated air intake and retractable headlights. While in alt mode, it’s nearly impossible to see any of Sunstreaker’s robot mode parts, as they are all securely and compactly tucked beneath the chassis of the vehicle. There’s even a slot for his gun on top of the car, while the doors and trunk open as they would on a real car. An anti-aircraft laser cannon in the back of the car’s spoiler really ensures this is an alternate mode the bad guys would do well to avoid. An additional set of side mirrors is included with the figure.

In his robot mode, MP-39 Sunstreaker features superb articulation in his arms, legs, fingers and joints. Among his many included accessories are his trusty flare and laser guns, two alternate face plates, and an alien face mask. Hailing from the classic cartoon episode “Hoist Goes to Hollywood,” the iconic green alien mask is the perfect way to re-enact your favorite scenes from the episode! Finally, an unarticulated miniature of the human character Chip Chase is included, along with his wheelchair. 

Sunstreaker may enjoy complaining about the shortcomings of his team, but adding the Masterpiece MP-39 Sunstreaker to your collection won’t give you anything at all to complain about. Get yours today at TFSource, your source for everything Transformers!
