Talk:Sunstreaker (G1)

Talking with Walky, it seems Sunstreaker will become our "poster boy" for how to lay out a character page thanks to his being in multiple continuities and having multiple toys WITHOUT having too much to keep track of. I've done some tweaking to organize the different sections in what I hope is a logical manner, I THINK all that remains is to fill out said sections. Thoughts on the matter are appreciated... - User: M Sipher

Boss. I love it. I've been kinda wondering how this goes together... -Derik 09:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Marvel Comics Continuity

I'm starting to question the wisdom of incorporating both UK and US continuity bits in just the one "Marvel comics continuity" section. There are tons of stuff here that, for me (grew up on just the US stuff), simply never happened. I can't speak to whether these are verifiable or not. But in one case, the mention of Galvatron's "dream-inducing bug," just BEFORE the mention of Sunstreaker's presence during the Blaster/Grimlock fight on the moon, strikes me as out of place. Shouldn't that come AFTER this event?

yes, it should. -Derik 02:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, since it clearly cannot be Sunstreaker in the flashback of Club 'Con, then obviously its not him and is a generic that just shares the same body type. "Sunstreaker" wasn't even colored was he? Bass X0 (talk)

Let's not get into the habit of creating new generic characters to explain things. It was Sunstreaker. It was an error. It's not on us to explain how/why. --Xaaron (talk) 22:25, 19 October 2015 (EDT)

Lost mold?

"There also appears to be little chance of a reissue of the toy, as this mold has been stated by Hasbro and Takara representatives to be one of several toys whose original molding has been either lost or in a state of disrepair too extensive to justify the cost of re-casting."

When was this stated?

From Steve-o' BotCon notes: "It was reiterated that the tooling for G1 Mirage and G1 Wheeljack are 'gone'. Aaron further described them as 'long-since depleted', which would indicate that they wore out and were possibly disposed of, rather than having simply disappeared like some tools seem to do."

No word on Sunstreaker.--Nevermore 21:52, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

A Fearsome Warrior?

Never could understand why Sunstreaker was described as being such an effective warrior. What exactly could he do? His Strength was a runtish 5.71.34.68.213 21:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Tech spec numbers rarely had anything to do with characters' portrayal elsewhere. --ItsWalky 22:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

And it hasn't changed to this day. Sometimes it seems like whomever decides tech-spec numbers has a bunch of magnetic-backed cards with numbers printed on them, and he or she throws them at a whiteboard marked out with the tech spec categories. Where ever they land, that's what you see on packaging. :D --FFN 06:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Where's the number?

Isn't there supposed to be a Japanese ID Number for this toy? Unless it wasn't released in Japan?

Apparently he wasn't released as a single toy. I do recall he was released as part of a rather rare multi/versus-pack with Skids a Decepticon. --FFN 06:27, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Right in his toy section, you'll find the info: "Sunstreaker's only release in Japan was in the VS-Z set, along with Buzzsaw and Skids." There you have it. --Detour 06:31, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

New chest?

Why does the description of Universe Sunstreaker say Sideswipe will get a new chest? Judging by the design it looks like they'll just switch the hands around, make a new head and just make him transform facing the other way... --Detour 02:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, somebody probably quickly threw that there in 2007. --FFN 04:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

More Than Meets The Eye bio

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Sunstreaker_MTMTE_bio.jpg

Just for those of us who don't, y'know, actually have the books... Knocks 20:51, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

The Wiki is not a picture gallery. If you're not going to use it in an article, then don't upload it. —Interrobang 21:31, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

Before the crash, there'd been talk about him being gay and stuff about the bio, but not everyone had seen it, so I found it and posted it in the disscusion then. Are you saying now that it's worth putting into the page itself? --Knocks 21:08, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

What? It was never in the bio. Nobody claimed that. It was from behind the scenes information. And I'm not sure where the hell you got "it's worth putting in the page itself" from. —Interrobang 21:13, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

I posted here before the crash, on the discussion page which is behind the scenes and no one said boo. Considering that some people thought the bio was on the squicky side after finding out that Sunstreaker was supposed to be gay which is mentioned in the main article, I thought people should be able to see it so they could judge for themselves. You're the one telling me that either it goes into an article or it just goes away.--Knocks 18:43, 9 April 2009 (EDT)

And it's gone from the Wiki... Y'all at least could tell me outright that it's being taken down. Here's the info again and let me ask, is it worth putting in the main article or no? And if not, why shouldn't it stay here at least?

Please change the main picture, I'm gonna have nightmares for a week.

Bashing Sunny

This whole page is just bashing Sunstreaker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.85.9.58 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

How so? Tom Servo the Great 21:03, 6 November 2011 (EST)

Check out this link which transcribes his bio from the Marvel Transformers Universe mini-series. The extreme egotism and ruthless aggression were part of his original characterization. --Khajidha 22:04, 6 November 2011 (EST)

Voice actors

Can we create a template for voice actors that has a "hide/show" option? —Interrobang 21:33, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Who's "Bob?"

The IDW section has a lot of references to "Bob" that look to me to be someone spamming our Wiki, but I'm hesitant to just revert because this apparently happened a LONG time ago (more than an entire page's worth of edits!). Is this something we're intentionally keeping here? If so, what am I missing? --G.B. Blackrock 11:10, 18 August 2013 (EDT)

Do you mean this Bob? --MistaTee 11:33, 18 August 2013 (EDT)

Main image

Could we change the main image? It is really bugging me, knowing that there is actual artwork of Sunstreaker. Tfus183crosscut (talk) 16:55, 15 April 2015 (EDT)

...What? That is actual artwork of Sunstreaker. Escargon (talk) 17:03, 15 April 2015 (EDT)

To be fair, it isn't a great image. It's loosely based on the character model, but the chest is a bit off and the shoulders are in the wrong place, making him look like a hunchback. - SanityOrMadness (talk) 17:15, 15 April 2015 (EDT)

The storybook art was chosen because it encapsulates Sunstreaker's character. --Monzo (talk) 17:33, 15 April 2015 (EDT)
