[Vector Prime]

Wow... looks like they used a darker blue (or maybe it could just be the lighting).

Definite buy ~ it'll go nicely sitting next to my Henkei one. :D

[Sky Shadow]

Those unfluoro non-neon geewun colours are ungarish and tasteful. Easy pass.

Lol looks like our dream of AM TC might be relegated to customizers botcon or TFCC exclusive

Still it is a nice blue

[gdmetro]

Is it just me or is that not even close to g1 thundercracker?.... Colours do not remind me of him..

[Deonasis]

I think this is beautiful! It looks like a complete paint job.. from Hasbro too!

[5FDP]

If I had Classics Skywarp, I'd get this just to complete the set.

As it stands, I'll have to settle with my RM Thundercracker (http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/d/dd/RobotMastersThundercracker.jpg).

Looks fine to me. :)

Unless the G1 Thundercracker you're talking about is the same as what Sky Shadow and Sharky are dreaming about... in which case don't hold your breath. :p

There was a fairly cheap Classics Skywarp at the last Parra Fair. Don't think anyone picked it up so it might still be on sale next time. <shrug>

[Tallestblue]

Oh yeah. Retail Thundercracker.

Tho it would have been nice if they'd been a bit more daring with the wing stripes, so he fits better with Skywarp and Starscream.
Still. Thundercracker, avaible at retail!

*does merry dance*

[Hursticon]

Thundercracker, available at retail!

*does merry dance*

I would like to join in on your dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABGOXvERUiA). :D

[Quickstrike]

I wanted him to have a red face. :(

[GoktimusPrime]

I wanted him to have a red face. :(
He's meant to be an update of G1 (1984) Thundercracker, not Armada. :p He originally had a black face but had a white/silver face in the cartoon and several other subsequent incarnations (e.g. BotCon, Gentei, Robot Masters). Otherwise if you really want him to have a red face, show him images of his Action Master figure. ;)

*joins Tallestblue & Hursti in a merry dance of great mirth* :D :cool:

[KillinSpoon]

Eh, I don't have a choice.
Take my wallet.

[liegeprime]

Well ...... FINAALLY!!:mad: I like the wing highlight design, classy looking. Hope this ones gun launchers fit well - the Gentei one I had to sock in some blutack to keep in place.

[Quickstrike]

He's meant to be an update of G1 (1984) Thundercracker, not Armada. :p

So? He could be a dual homage like Perceptor, it would've been cool.

[Lint]

Dirge blue should keep the angry exclusives owners happy, somewhat :p

I'm fairly sure that someone did. Either way, I'm not going to be able to make it out to the fair next month :(

*Stops dancing.*

Angry Exclusive owners can cram it. With Walnuts* The release of Generations Thundercracker provides further proof that Generations is one long mash note to us older fans, And it's a great thing. Though there really doesn't seem to be any complaining. going here at Ozformers.

*resumes dancing*




*Tallesblue does not advocate the actual cramming of walnuts, as it may lead to choking.

Haha! LOL! :p:D
That was really well put TB, I bow to you sir... and continue to dance. :D

[Tallestblue]

It was that bit of inspiration you get just before you go to sleep. I really need to start writing that stuff down.

[GoktimusPrime]

I wouldn't have liked that. You could always just get a Generations Thundercracker and paint the face red yourself if it bothers you that much (being a common retail figure means it'd be much cheaper and easier for you to get one to do so - and you wouldn't be depleting the pool of limited exclusives as you would if you were to do the same with a BotCon or Gentei Thundercracker).

The people complaining are just being silly <devices used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic reasons> :p I have excusive Gentei Thundercracker, and I'm absolutely delighted to see Generations Thundercracker coming out because that's the way he SHOULD have been released in the first place! I got Gentei Thundercracker not because I thought, "Ooh! A rare limited exclusive! I'll get that cos it'll make me more hard core as a collector!", but rather I actually thought, "Whaddaya mean he's a limited exclusive? He costs HOW much?!?" -- then bit the bullet and bought it because I had no choice at the time. Because I wanted a "Classics" Thundercracker, I had to get him as an exclusive... not because I wanted to by choice per se. IMO exclusive toys should be limited to characters with a limited appeal and would not be viable as mass release store toys. Acid Storm should have been a limited exclusive and Dirge, Thrust and Thundercracker should have been regular retail figures to begin with.

Depends where you cram them. ;)

I've already got Henkei TC but I will buy this one for sure. The colours look great, and I'm happy everyone gets the chance to own him!

staring at this picture, i really want an autobot city playset with working catapult

That's a pretty cool find there KillingSpoon, some fine choreography too! :D

[Lordy]

Thundercracker was my first "big" Transformer I got as a kid, still have it now as an adult, and you better believe I'm getting him. Will go nicely with the Masterpiece TC I have.

Then you could load Beast Wars Bonecrusher onto said catapult and let the fun begin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FJVAcvVcPQ)! :D ;)

If he is still there, did you want me to grab it for you?

Anyway, I will probably buy this as well, even though I have Gentei TC. Doesn't look too bad.

[5FDP]

If he is still there, did you want me to grab it for you?

Thanks for the offer dude but I probably shouldn't. One of the reasons why I am not going is to save some money.

What if 1AZRAEL1 was to give it to you as a Robanzaa gift? ;):D

I wouldn't feel comfortable accepting it.

Robonica? :p:D

[klystron]

Oh, great. I'm so glad I spent so much time and effort repainting classics screamer into a thundercracker, only to have hasbro release one now. That's it - no more custom repaints for me.

[GoktimusPrime]

You could re-repaint that figure into something else... like Classics Action Master Thundercracker or Classics Sunstorm or Classics Slipstream?

I had the same problem. I was part way through painting mine into TC, only to have someone offer me Henkei TC. Now he is still in bits, waiting to be stripped of paint again to give him a new paint job.

They are some of the ideas I am mulling around in my head, when I actually find the time to do it :p
