BBTS.com have a listing for Deluxe Generations Thundercracker.
No pics yet.
awesome. i'll be able to complete the seekers! without need of exclusives or knockoffs :)
Wow if the news is accurate... they actually did it. And there were those that swore that it would never get released under Hasbro. I will def go by my word and pick up one atleast... although I do have the KO Henkei one already.
It had better be in Action Master colours...
I'd buy it if it was.Quote:

Some are speculating that maybe Thundercracker is a War for Cybertron mold. But you'd think they would release Starscream first.:rolleyes:
Wheeljack was announced a while back though. Shortly after we saw pictures of Tracks, there were pictures of prototype Wheeljack.Quote:

You'd think... but a War Within Thundercracker toy did come out before War Within Starscream.Quote:

Here's hoping it's the classic seeker mold in blue with some nice red touches (Maybe even a thunderbolt decal or two?) Apologies to fans of the Action master colours.
Well it about time!
Good news for those that are after a Generations Thundercracker to complete their set. I missed out on Skywarp and would love to see them reissue him on his own so I don't have to pay inflated prices on eBay for a toy that's not even MISB (no interest in Magnus).
Having said that though, I'm satisfied owning the RM versions of Thundercracker and Skywarp.
I still hold fast in my belief that it's either not G1 blue (rather Action Master, G2, or whatever) or not the Classics seeker mold (rather WFC)Quote:

I hope it is true, I really would like a Classics TC to go with my original G1 and MP versions.
This is great news to all out there. I have a Henkei TC, but would certainly be buying one of these too (cos he's my second favourite seeker).
For the second time in history, I really hope that they do him in the cartoon shade of blue which they have done for the TC RobotMasters release.
That's probably the best color they could come up with for this release. It is appealing yet different to the previous 'Classics Thundercracker' releases and will not pee off the Botcon people.Quote:

Well, I'm wrong. It's G1 TC all the way. Congrats to everyone who wants him!
I can't but help wonder if the rise of the KOs would have assisted Hasbro in breaking their agreement (or agreeing to a new one) with FunPub regarding this figure. It's certainly doesn't look very different to the FunPub one.
F@#$ Yeah!
This is awesome, awesome confirmation for those who don't have crazy Henkei/Botcon budgets with regards to Thundercracker - Finally I'll be able to have all the Seekers in Classicsverse form!
Oh Happy Day!
Oh, Wheeljack looks Transorgasmic too! :p
Something tells me this entire wave will be in high demand! :p
Congrats to those that don't already have TC... I'll be grabbing him too even though I already have the Henkei version :D
(Just saw jay's post)
TC looks pretty good although somewhat darker shade of blue.
Def will pick him up!
Kinda suprised they didn't go with the cartoon light blue.
Good news tho. :D
Gah, not sure a fan of this colour, but at least it'll be different from the Henkei colours...Quote:

Even if there was some sort of agreement of exclusivity, it is Hasbro's prerogative as the property owner to produce any item it sees fit, at any time. FunPub essentially 'beg' Hasbro to produce these toys, so they won't risk cutting themselves from the source by complaining about it.Quote:

Hasbro owns the moulds, the characters and all associated concepts (like colour schemes), so can do anything they want.
And even if this one was the exact same deco as the BotCon one, it will be almost 4 years since that earlier one, so I think it's been enough time for people to not be as upset about it, as those collectors will have had 4 years of 'elitism', and the toys will still be worth a lot as BotCon exclusives.
Yay!!!! Yay for it being Straight-up no crazy AM colours not WFC but G1 Thundercracker!! Thank you Toy Jesus!!!
...now if we could just have a Generations Arcee please?
...oh and Blitzwing?
Wow. Almost never do I want an entire wave, but I can't say no to any of Thundercracker, Scourge, Wheeljack or Kup!
One can never have too many Thundercrackers, I'm in.
Looks like they did the same thing that BotCon did and gave Thundercracker a 'medium' blue. Not as light as the cartoon, but not as dark as the original G1 toy and Marvel comics. So it's like a compromise to appease both groups of fans, which I think works well. :)Quote:

<Sigh> I hate the universe right now. :(
