Thanks to our friend site and sponsor Robotkingdom we have some Takara Masterpiece MP-39 Sunstreaker Packaging, Collectible Coin And In-Hand Images.
MP-39 Sunstreaker will start shipping by the end of December and we have a clear look at the box, and amazing in-hand pictures of the robot mode showing off some great poses and the beautiful licensed Lamborghini Countach LP500S mode which allows you two different configurations: one using the cartoon-accurate propulsion engine and another one without it for a more realistic alt mode.
One nice surprise is the return of the collectible coins. Sunstreaker’s coin will come in a package that resembles his car mode’s front. The die-cast coin features Sunstreaker’s face. These coins were offered before in Asian countries but Japan.
Sunstreaker is almost ready to get into your collections. You can check the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!

Neither. It’s an odd kind of pearlescent finish. Flat but with some shimmer to it. It’s more like inferno’s face.

Pffft…I reject your reality sir.

Sorry to break it to you, but Sideswipe is just a pretool for Tigertrack.

It is basically compatible for all current and upcoming versions and repaints of the Sunstreaker/Cordon mold.
It is available in different colors.

man I hope so.

Not true CM, there have been small differences between reissues, like one reissue of MP-22 had a more off-white face, rather than silver. The most recent MP-13 reissue had a sliver of unpainted blue above his mouth-plate, while the reissue red Frumble had unmatching dark red plastic for his bare parts.
We won't know for sure until we see some in-hand shots of the reissue, but if there are any changes they'd be pretty minor.
Somewhere in between.

At the direction Takara is going with their MPs, I'm sure an MP Sideswipe 2.0 (along with its G2 repaint) is in the pipeline.
I'm sure we'll see a red diaclone MP Sunstreaker repaint as well.

Sideswipe is his own bot sir, you would do well to show some respect! I challenge you to a glove slap duel!!!!
ChromeMagnus
There never are any differences so nope.
velvetdon25
Is his face like a shining silver like the older MP figures or more of a matte finish like Bee and Ironhide?
Gamerlingual
Made at a later date. Besides that, nope.
Predaking EX
Are there any differences from the first run compared to the reissue?
Sam
Sideswipe is not a simple repaint of Sunstreaker. The hood of his car is his chest instead of his feet.
Predaking EX
I have the reissue pre-ordered, why didn't they redeco 39 for Sideswipe instead of Cordon?????
Ryrynz
Anyone gonna get this that's already got the original release? Any chance of a comparison?
ChromeMagnus
Right. I don't remember the first run being sold out all over the place.

I still can't believe he converts sometimes. There's just too much going on for him to be real, yet here he is.
Scowly Prowl
A reissue, or did they not stop making him in the first place?
Sam
Still waiting on confirmation that it’s not only a Hasbro Asia exclusive, but hey they have to fill the months until MP-44 with something! I’d almost be tempted to sell my og Sunstreaker and buy a reissue, just to have a fresh copy.
