Sunstreaker, one of the first generation Autobots from the original Transformers TV show, was known for being a Lamborghini Countach in his alternate mode and having an engine that protruded out the back. He was portrayed as a self-centered individual who was challenging to work with and only paired well with Sideswipe. Sunstreaker considered himself the most beautiful thing ever, and he was also known for being cold, ruthless, and highly effective in battle. Despite his difficult personality, Sunstreaker survived the attack on Autobot City, unlike his twin brother Sideswipe. He made a brief appearance as the pilot of a shuttle carrying reinforcements to Earth in the movie, marking his final role in the series.
