Still, can't wait to see him in the flesh, he looks pretty cool.
They do that a lot, next time you're in the store have a look at the robot mode, then have a look on the back of the box. I guarantee you'll see at least one, unless you're in the sports section instead of toys...Quote:

His Endurance and Firepower remain the same!
+10. Tech specs these days are just crap. RtS Perceptor's Tech Specs doesn't mention anything about his unquenchable thirst for knowledge or being absent minded and Generations Thundercracker's tech specs doesn't mention his lack of dedication of the Decepticon cause... one great thing about G1's tech specs was that characters had little quirks that made them unique and memorable. e.g. Cosmos is incredibly lonesome, Breakdown is paranoid, Soundwave is hated by his fellow Decepticons, Kup is highly experienced and knowledgeable but nobody listens to his wisdom, Frenzy is a sadist and Bluestreak uses his jovial façade to hide his inner demons and so on and so on.Quote:

Very true. The worst one I thought was with the reissue seacons, Nautilators bio got changed from almost being left in the water by the other seacons to being happily saved by the other seacons. Cuddles all around.
Very sad I think really, as a kid I loved reading the Bios. Now I still enjoy reading them but more often than not I cringe. Either from bad writing or excessive use of commas. A personal pet hate of mine.
His Bark is worse than his bite :p WHAAAAM!!! KABLAAM!!Quote:

Well as you well know the old tech spechs were written by an established comic writter, the new ones are written by Fred in marketing, at least that's my guess.Quote:
