Hasbro MP Thundercracker

[Slag]

Is it? At first glance I would've thought this would be a MP03 repaint. Anyone know?

Yeah. I can't back it up, i was just assuming... I thought they would use the newer mold.

Even the RRP for MP07 was pretty expensive -- I dread to think what this toy would go for on the aftermarket. MP07 retailed for 10700JPY (AU$137), as opposed to MP Starscream and Skywarp (10290JPY ($131) each), even the local Hasbro version sold in TRUs here for $99.99. So this is good news for people who missed out on MP07 (especially if it retails cheaper than the TakTOM version, which I suspect it will).

most of the ones i see on ebay these days are over 300 which is why i don't own one

Acid Storm,, of coarse!. best idea i've heard all day.
top bombing..

I reckon that's probably my plan too! The annoying thing with the Taktom masterpieces is that you can't see them through the box, which is something I really like about the Hasbro releases. My big hope is that over the next few years, they will release Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet using the MP-11 mold.

Apparently it's available for pre-order at TRU in the UK.

Does anyone know if preorder is available at TRU here in Oz?

And then apparently it's no longer going to be released in the UK.

It will still be available in the US - I hope it will still be released here!

Images of Thundercracker from SDCC2012 show it is a light blue, has the base and missiles of MP-03 included but is the MP-11 mould! I'm very happy!

I emailed hasbro after hearing of the cancelation of the UK release to check whether it will still be released here and got this reply:

So I guess it is still planned for an Oz release

Awesome!

That's an absolute relief so thank you Macky, for going out of your way to confirm this for people like myself who are really looking forward to this guy's release ; Now to see if TRU AU can possibly give us any firmer Release Date details!
