EpsilonEta Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) I thought it was time for another of my Transformers, Sunstreaker this time. As with Optimus, this is based on IDW's comics “Infiltration” to “Revelations” from 2008. (That's why he is a Diablo and not a Countach.) I started in September 2010 and finished in May 2014. It have been on my MOCpages since then and I recently added it to flickr too. Sunstreaker Car Front by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr Sunstreaker Car Back by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr A friend helped me to print on tiles. Here is a close up. Sunstreaker Car Detail by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr And as with my Optimus, he can transform. Sunstreaker Robot 1 by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr Sunstreaker Robot back by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr I made a video showing the transformation (no sound. 2x speed) (I will make one or more that explain in more detail at some point but don't hold your breath) And here a reference pictures from the comic “Transformers Infiltration”. (Written by Simon Furman and drawn by E.J. Su) Sunstreaker ComicCompare by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr A few extra pictures of the inside Sunstreaker Car inside by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr Sunstreaker Car underside by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr In the comic his hand can change to a gun and I managed to replicate that. (it works for both hands) Sunstreaker Robot hand transform by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr And finally a cool pose (it took like 10 minutes to find a pose he could balance in) Sunstreaker Robot pose by Erik Hagsved, on Flickr Thanks for reading.

iammac Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I saw that coming even less than Hawkeye! Great work! Quote
Breakdown Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 I saw the title and was hoping for Transformers, but expecting or bracing my self for SunCruiser rocket ship. . . . . .wasn't disappointed in the least. That's ill!! Breakdown next??? Quote
alanyuppie Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 The cross section photos are very inspiring and I love the hand mechanism so much !! I noticed the knee joint is powered by a pair frictional hinge plates . Its incredible how they can bear the weight of this huge MOC Quote
EpsilonEta Posted April 8, 2016 Author Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Thank you everyone! Breakdown next??? He is on my to do list. I'm basing him on the Fansproject toy but have only made a foot so far. Currently all my transformers are on hold. The cross section photos are very inspiring and I love the hand mechanism so much !! I noticed the knee joint is powered by a pair frictional hinge plates . Its incredible how they can bear the weight of this huge MOC Thank you! I like your transformers too. The knee joint actually can't support the weight. He can only stand with straight legs. On the last picture he mostly balance with the bent leg wich is in it's end position. It's a kind of a waste to add all the articulation when I can't really use it with such a large robot but I want to get all the details from the comics. Edited April 8, 2016 by EpsilonEta Quote
