The vacuum metalised cockpit interior is a very very nice touch.

YES!!

This is one of the reasons I'm glad I didn't get the Henkei exclusive - an affordable G1 Accurate Classics-verse Thrust.

Probably will be the first of the generations figures I will be getting. Still no sign of the '06 Seeker mold going out of fashion

This toy is pretty damn good. I haven't opened mine but it does seem comparable to the Botcon toy as far as the paint job is concerned. Certainly better than the Japanese one.

[Tiby]

Yes, but still dirty in the Botcon cash grab.

[Vector Prime]

I was going to open my Thrust but have decided against it seeing as I already have the Henkei version open and on display.

By now everyone would be familiar with this timeless mold in one incarnation or another and even now, it still holds great appeal.

The lack of zebra/camo paint apps on the wings and the deletion of random chrome on the Hasbro version are definite positives in my books.

The Henkei version is 3 to 4 times the price, but it's arguably not the better version IMHO.

9 out of 10... definite buy!

hmmm still thinking it thru should I get one, coz Im more likely not to open it since I have the Henkei version.... let other fans enjoy that toy instead of me keeping one that Im not gonna set free... hmmm

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT

So what seekers have henkei come out with and will the generations line come out with other seekers? If there's still a chance of collecting all seekers, even if its mixed of henkei/generations, then i'll go out and buy this thrust...

[GoktimusPrime]

So what seekers have henkei come out with

Henkei (*Gentei):
+ Starscream
+ Skywarp*
+ Thundercracker*
+ Ramjet
+ Thrust*
+ Dirge*

Classics (*BotCon exclusive):
+ Starscream
+ Skywarp
+ Thundercracker*
+ Ramjet
+ Thrust*
+ Dirge*
+ Acid Storm

Generations:
+ Thrust

and will the generations line come out with other seekers?

Dunno (if I could predict future events then I'd retire and Live A Lotto Life ).
I hope that Hasbro will release more Seekers for Generations, _especially_ Dirge and Thundercracker who've never seen mass retail store releases.

Even though I already have Gentei Thrust I intend on getting a Generations Thrust just to encourage Hasbro to give us more Seekers (one can hope).
