Toy Review - Hasbro MP Thundercracker

Maybe one day they'll fix this mold so the torso doesnt try and transform back to a jet every time you move the arms up at the shoulder.

Maybe.

I have the same problem on Sunstorm. Don't have this problem w/ the old MP Seekers though... seems like it could be an issue with the new mould.

Interesting to see that the name plate has his name split into Thunder and Cracker, but the box still has it as Thundercracker

Good pickup, that is very annoying that they have done that? Imagine having
Star scream, or Sky warp. Thats just dumb. These are promo images, maybe its different on the final product. Ill do some research now...

Nope, that is very much the final product/name on the stand Thunder Cracker as i own the toy looking at it right now.

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.

Really really pleased to finally have a complete line-up of MP Seekers, I've been waiting for Thundercracker for quite some time now & thanks to Jazzcomp I finally own him.

He also doubles as a trip down a re-laid, familiar road; yes that issue regarding the shoulder assembly not locking in is a pain (My Skywarp is fine though ) but I found his new arm tabs that plug into the wing particularly frustrating if one doesn't follow the correct sequence of manipulations.

Alll in all though, I've very impressed with this retooling & very much welcome his ability to stand on his own 2 feet; for display consistency though, like his cohorts, he is perched on his stand.

I had the issue with the old Starscream mold too but there seemed to be more friction in the sliding parts that elongate his torso for jet mode in that so it wasn't as pronounced there.

My MP-11 Screamer does it as well.
