Toy Review - Generations Thrust

[Tiby]

Yes, but still dirty in the Botcon cash grab.

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

+ 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).

[SharkyMcShark]

I think you missed clear Starscream

I'm a fan of Thrust too, but....

...I also have a Robots in Disguise Ramjet (which basically has most of the same mold as Generations Thrust, apart from the stabilizer packs and wing position) and when comparing the quality of the plastics, Thrust seems to have a more subtle, not-so 'strong' plastic feel to him.

I don't know if anyone else notices this too but my Thrust doesn't fit together as tightly as Ramjet, one example is where the Rear-nose of the plane pegs into the body in Alt. mode (seen looking down on the alt. mode) - both toys have the exact same transformation and parts at this region yet Thrust just feels somewhat weaker. Maybe it's because of the colour tat Thrust is, being a nice, glossy like maroon?

What are your thoughts?
