Plus I love that t-shirt.

That seeker looks like Skywarp shortly after falling into a vat of Allens Toffee Apple Lolly mixture.

Haha! Yeah, looks almost edible. Mmm. The Autotroopers look better than I expected too.

Every part of me that's Gay is screaming in horror at G2 Thundercracker's paint scheme.

As horrible as it is, what's more insane is the amount of people who will/do want that figure - I foresee some ridiculous secondary market prices being thrown at that piece of plastic.

Yes indeed. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am so proud and appreciative to not understand the lust and desire that surrounds Action Master Thundercracker.

Feel free to substitute Action Master Thundercracker with:

1. G2
2. Shattered Glass

Yes, Nexus Maximus was what I was thinking, though for some reason the correct name for it had slipped my mind, and I'd deliberately erased it from my google web history!

I know galvatron is generally purple but I was hoping that they make him black like they did in the cybertron line, imo more black and less purple would of suited that mold better. That been said I still want it and thundercracker. I don't have a any great love for the original action master but that is a hideous repaint and I love hideous repaints.

I'm not really feeling the love for fisitron like a lot of people are, the head is a nice sculpt and I don't mind the mold but the colour scheme just isn't doing it for me. The autotroopers look good and I look forward to getting them over fisitron.

Whats the history behind toxicon I know they wanted to repaint laser rod optimus as him and use it for a botcon exclusive a few years back but is there any back story to the character or was he just made up for botcon

Since this is Shattered Glass Thundercracker and AM TC came out in the hypercolour-nineties, that's not surprising then.

As I was well and truly one of the first people on teh internets to sing the praises of Action Master Thundercracker a decade ago:

https://groups.google.com/group/alt....73c5cd70?hl=en

https://groups.google.com/group/alt....4fe7b09c?hl=en

and also one of the first to pay him out: https://groups.google.com/group/alt....e5e2626a?hl=en

it's mainly nostalgia for me. I love that guy, and I'd much rather see them continue to recolour seekers like that than in any other shade.

I know galvatron is generally purple but I was hoping that they make him black like they did in the cybertron line, imo more black and less purple would of suited that mold better.

They first used Shattered Glass Galvatron in the comic over a year ago, so it was inevitable that he would be released in those colours: http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/e/e6/Ne...mingStorm1.jpg Swoop, you can (legally!) read a comic that he cameo-appears in here: http://www.transformersclub.com/_ima...1Feb_Mar10.pdf

@Sky Shadow: LOL, I just can't understand the love for that AM Thundercracker figure - I certainly don't think any less of anyone who does but I just find him to be so ridiculously fugly in colour, lol, ohh... Just talking and thinking about that colour scheme and how it is easily the worst out of that era makes me laugh!
(For those who want one, I really hope that you're able to get one for a 'reasonable' price - My fingers are crossed for you )

That Classicsverse AM Thundercracker is such a Troll!

[Doubledealer]

And if you can't get a Classics AM 'cracker then don't despair...Just grab any old seeker, down a double-shot of brown vinegar, aim your mouth towards the toy and let the forthcoming technicoloured yawn beautifully coat your seeker in an equally spectacular fashion!
