I just got mine yesterday really like the blue on him, looks almost like Takara quality IMO. Still the mold is showing it's age the knee joints are stiffer than a 90yr olds!And also the wings are a bit loose on mine but overall I think this is the best of the Seekers.

Ooh, this toy's out?!
Gee I hope not. I have the TakaraTOMY Thundercracker and it has some disappoting quality issues (which a lot of other collectors have also reported) -- loose wings, missile launchers don't fit on tightly (I stuck small bits of blu-tac in the holes to help hold them), slight misalignment of the Decepticon logo tampograph...Originally Posted by Fonecrusher

The wings are definitely an issue on my version they seem pretty loose, I'm extremely careful when transforming him.
Anyway a few pics since this thread is lacking any, taken with my iphone sorry for the quality.

The blue is a bit darker and I guess more metallic looking in person, my room just has these ultra bright lights.I have to say, that is one 'cracking paintjob!

I think hasbro did an awesome job with thundercracker. The blue is a nice shade but that silver is really outstanding. No slop and nice and shiny.
Has to be hasbro's BEST deco for this mould yet.

Good. That makes it more G1 accurate. The original Thundercracker toy has a beautiful dark metallic blue, whereas the G1 cartoon gave him a light sky blue. Classics Thundercracker is a "mid" blue - not as dark as the original toy, but not as light as the cartoon (I'm guessing this was done as a compromise to appease both people who prefer the original dark blue and those who prefer cartoon sky blue). Gentei Thundercracker's blue is lighter, though not quite as light as the cartoon. Robot Masters Thundercracker has the most cartoon-like colours IMO.The blue is a bit darker and I guess more metallic looking in person, my room just has these ultra bright lights.
