MP11T Thundercracker. Takara Tomy Mall Exclusive

[drifand]

I like to transform them once then put them in bot mode for display. If you have any other mp-11 moulds pop there heads of the ball joint and you will see if it's longer or not.

I am normally like you, will transform once. I think due to constraints in my time available I was just "happy" to ignore everything else. I have three other mp-11 moulds and shockingly I have not attempted much in transforming them either other than Hasbro Acid Storm, rest were Takaras Sunstorm, Starscream, and this guy.

It might be worth taking some pics and post at the defects page like I did. Such a defect is actually major and I need to see it for myself once I get around to play with it again.

I transformed it. I am not sure you know that the head need to squeeze its side so that it will slide through?

Is all good on mine.

the ears (if you can call it like that) may be sometimes stiff with these new seekers mold coz i had the same issue with Hasbro Sunstorm, normally it should push itself inside when transforming to jet mode

Haha I was waiting for someone to mention this. It's actually the top of the head that gets jammed not the sides you can't tilt the head back far enough for it to slip through.

I'll try and get some photos up today to show what I'm talking about.

I probably mention more that this piece at least the rockets are painted and was told skywarp didn't? No idea why TT was lazy with that.

Overall the toy is great if you got it under $200 mark, but face it, is a rip off.

I would wait to see if Hasbro release a skywarp mp this year.

Update: so I was in the process of taking a few pics of the 4 mp-11 moulds for comparison when I noticed that Tc's ball joint for his head isn't actually longer it's back to front. Sorry about the photos this is the limit of my photography skills.

If you look under the head of starscream you will see a groove on the piece connected to the head. Which is on all the others



And this is the back of thundercracker where as you can see groove is at the back.



And here's one showing the front just so you know there's no groove at the front

[drifand]

So you cant push his head through the groove? I need to go back and check again as I didn't need to remove his head to transform him.

From the pics, it looks like they got it backwards or something< sorry that is what you did say.

I am not sure yours is the only one like that as I have not check mine closed up. Anyone care to check?

[ZoonMaster5000]

Well you can see the difference in head height between Tc and starscream which makes it impossible to get through that arch. I even swapped the heads over just to be sure. Id fix it if I could but it's not something I'd feel comfortable with

To be honest I had issues squeezing MP-3 based heads through the jet parts at times. I think it's always been a tight fit.

Which was my first assumption but I have 4 of these moulds with no issues of getting the head through with them. I can push Tc's head so he's looking straight up at the ceiling, can't do that with others which proves it is on back to front
