Theory with Thrust's wings is that maybe the VTOLs can detach from the rear wings and peg into the holes on the top of the main wings. That would be cool if true :cool:

Thanks :) And NICE spot! I was wondering what that additional plug on the main wings was for! This makes good sense and makes Thrust much more desirable for me now.

I want the Destron watch, is it possible to add the Destron watch in the Henkei preorder?

You realise it's like $200 at the current rate yeah?

Is there anything special about it?

edit: I see it's a G-SHOCK...

The white lightning bolts on Thrust's wings seem a bit strange, and the placement of his thrusters, but overall they look pretty good

*pats Kurdt on the back* :)

What's the deal with covering-up Thrust's VTOL propellers in jetmode? The VTOL propellers are what distinguish him from the other seekers?! Are they ashamed of them or something??? (Or is it all about making him different to the Botcon one... :rolleyes:)

Yeah, they have to distinguish the wings from the Botcon set. Speculation is that the thruster parts can be detached from the rear wings and attached to the holes on the top of the main wings, unconfirmed currently.

The Ganbo Store Blog has also updated with the same pics prior to being 'shopped out of their backgrounds. A rough Google Translate isn't revealing any confirmation on the VTOL part switching but they do seem to make mention of the oddness of their placement, suggesting to me at least that they didn't show the correct placement in jet mode on purpose, to see if we could guess :)

Excuse my crappy photochopping:

Looks much better if true.

And if so then they can be put on the bot modes upper wings.

That's not a bad photoshop, but it looks like you saved it out at 10% jpg quality!

I did - the artefacts help hide the edits. :o

Hey looks pretty good to me the closet I'l get to the Botcon version if you compare the toys I like the Henkei coloring more because you can see the face alot better. I dont know if the final product will be the same color and plastic but from the pictures the Henkei version looks like a really solid matte color and the Botcon version has a more shinier look.

I can wait for these but Id try and remove the stripes if I can. I also think they added these so you can distinguish them between the Botcon version that way everyone can complete their seekers and the people who have Botcon sets still have a uniqueness to them. That way we're all happy :)
