MP Thrust revealed

[drifand]

Chinese instructions were required only for MP11SW Skywarp since it was released only in China thru Transformers Asia. depending on the source if they got it from China they may be double taped again because on the Chinese manual (though does not make sense since it is produced there )

Or qc issue and the toy store has to open to check, I hope not since is not production during Chinese New Year , I think it should have less issues.

Anyone actually found it weird that Thrust is revealed last and has already been on pre order while cheetor and inferno has been chatting for yonks and is not out for pre order yet?

Not particularly, Thrust is a retool of the Ramjet mold so I imagine it was less effort to get his production up and running. I wouldn't be surprised if Dirge is announced before end of 2016.

Competition from 3rd party companies works in our favor! haha

Some in-hand shots:

Either the lighting is playing tricks, or it looks like the black on the main body has been toned down, so there is less of a contrast with the grey on the wings.

The colours overall look very flat. The red doesn't pop like the stock photos. Hopefully this is not the final finish.

Hmm the decals are done as are the fine details. I'm not sure what else needs to be done. Maybe a gloss coat?

Where do I have this sinking feeling I am getting this before my ramjet ever arrives. I am a bit no on the paint in fact is there any on thrust?

If that's the true final product I am really disappointed, I might consider not collecting the coneheads.
