TOYS Transformers Binaltech Asterisk BTA-02

The second Transformers Binaltech Asterisk toy features Sunstreaker who transforms into a yellow colored Dodge Viper. The viper logo is painted on the front fender. Since the Dodge Viper is a vehicle that meshes well with the street racing subculture, race queen Junko is included in the package. For those unaware of the race queen phenomenon in Japan, she's a booster of sorts who looks attractive and helps to improve the image of motor sport racing. For example, instead of watching a bunch of grungy pit monkeys grinding wrenches, television viewers may instead focus on a well toned, mini-skirted model who smiles and waves... without a thought in her pretty head.     The build quality of Sunstreaker is good. The transformation process is straightforward and the pieces all magically fold, twist, and tuck with a minimum of effort. The paint job is clean but then again, there's only two colors at work here. We did notice one or two very minor chips in the paint but that may just be our sample unit that we opened up today.
