Just got my Thundertron out of the box and the first thing I ave to say is. WHAT THE HELL is wrong with his weapon??????? He has a 'light up battle sword' but it doesn't stay extended and the light barely lights up the blade at all. Add to that, he can't even hold it like a proper sword...
I haven't even looked at the figure yet, but that sword, yeessh.

Apparently there's some simple modification you can do to his sword so its a proper sword. I think it was on YouTube.Originally Posted by Tetsuwan Convoy

OOH! Thanks, will get googling.Apparently there's some simple modification you can do to his sword so its a proper sword. I think it was on YouTube.
Just TFed him and well, the instructions are certainly rubbish all right. Throw them away and do it yourself I recommend.
My, what a static lion mode. He can't even open/close his mouth? It's a good thing I like th colours and look of this guy. And the peg legI prefer Thundertron over Leo Prime, mainly coz of the pirate thing and a new character

Wow, really? I think it adds so much character to him.I hate the pirate peg leg!
So after having a bit of a play and photo shoot with the guy, I have come to the conclusion that it is an ok toy. Actually I think it's pretty good. His weapons are crap though. If you use the peg leg option and have the foot claw on his arm, it doesn't extend past his fist = what's the point? The lion mode doesn't do much, but I like the blue space lion look of it enough to get past that. Plus the robot mode is fairly poseable, despite the fact that as a pirate captain, I want him to look commanding and determined. I also like that his fore-head piece looks like a pirate hat.
The light sword thing is just bollocks. Even after disabling the spring, having to mount it on the side of his arm is just rubbish. I like the claw at the base of the blade and the blade shape is pretty good, its the stupid LED box thing that is the problem I think. I will have to find away to keep the blade and claw and attach a peg to it somehow.
Voted Only if... you have a thing for pirates. (I do

For me, the pirate leg was the only good thing about this toy.
It was unique idea that has never been done before in the history of Transformers (Longtooth should have had one), and they designed it in a way that you don't have to have the peg-leg (like I've done with the Leo Prime redeco).
I'm guessing the peg-leg is canon (in the Exodus/Exiles story), and if so, then I would have been disappointed if the toy didn't have one.
