Toy Review - Hasbro MP Thundercracker

[Kazza]

Thunder Cracker = FAIL!

Good thing you don't have to use the stand... or you could cut out his name off the box and stick it over the top

Another possibility is to use the MP-07 stand and use the sticker decal sheet with his name on it.

Hmm.

The torso on mine doesn't lock in very securely. It frequently flops out. I've seen a few other people report the same problem. Not a huge problem, as its just for display, but it's a bit annoying when handling it.

I also can't get mine onto the stand in robot mode. The hole on the stand is just too small.

They also really should have put some work into the box and instructions. I actually thought it DID come with two heads. I hadn't read about it, but it was on the box. Nice extra! Nope. Just disappointment.

The head on it looks great, but it's always nice to have a second option. Hasbro really let me down here. How long would it have taken to erase that from the box?


Other than that, it looks great, and I'm very happy with it.

On the Starscreamk, the head was a flip around thing. So same face, but it spins around and face #2 is there. Was this removed?

TC uses the MP11 mold, not the old one.

I haven't opened my MP-11 or MP-11S and after reading this i don't think i will.
I wish they'd iron out these issues before they release them

You are not opening the MP-11's because of a possible loose part? These things can be overcome or worked around if you encounter them.. I just think there can be plenty of fun displaying these seekers.

For me, he is on the new mould , is a good enough colour but slightly over tampo'd. Has anyone seen pics or a tale about getting these 'sonic boom.. etc..' removed?

Some rubbing alcohol would take those paint apps straight off if you don't like them.


*Disclaimer: it generally works, but research it before trying. I ain't taking blame if it goes wrong!

**Griffin - the accessory list needs to be updated. He doesn't come with the Megatron gun or gun-clip.

Fixed description.

Oh, I just assumed the head stayed the same between the two. Oh well

Nah, new head. The sculpt is a LOT nicer, IMO.

Got my Thundercracker today. hes not to bad. Not super keen on the Reflectors tampoed on the sides, but otherwise he has a cool jet mode. The robot mode is good, but he locks together badly, which blows. Still,a cool toy, and Ill get Skywarp and starscream for sure.
