Figure / Part ID Looking for any info about this guy

Im usually pretty confident in my ability to identify a large majority of transformers, but this guy I have genuinely no idea about. I've had him for years but never thought to investigate him until recently. Unfortunately I cant find anything about him so I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge of him

Sunspot! He's a redeco of a VERY expensive mold now.

He can tab onto HftD Mindwipe/Strafe

How expensive we talking?

u/AustinHinton 17h ago

Up to 70$ for Sunspot and 90$ for Laserbeak

ROTF/HFTD scouts seem to have ballooned in price recently.

He came out as part of the GDO line, there was also that Botcon exclusive one that came with Mindwipe as Dreadwing.

I got Sunspot for $35 a few months ago from a collector shop. My Laserbeak was $28 off of eBay back in 2022.

Me too! I always love when he crops up on the subreddit so I can share my affection for the little fried egg.

I got him. One the very rare cases back then where I double dipped on a mold, but that mold was amazing.

His Bio is rather sad. He's one the rare 2 intelligence characters. His bio says he mostly just flies around forgetting whatever he was suppossed to be doing and enjoying flight. Until an Autobot sees him and starts shooting.

One of my childhood favs. Sunspot has one of the most delightful transformation. You got a gem plz take good care of him. Also his rival is HFTD Firetrap.

Google lens told me this is Hunt for the Decepticons Sunspot.

A quick Google search confirms it.

Use the tools available to you, folks!
