Toy Review - Generations Thrust

[Deceptic_Optic]

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

[ITZTRU]

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...

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).

I think you missed clear Starscream

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Love the seekers (repaints, remolds)

Hoping for generations

-Thundercracker
-Dirge
-Sunstorm
-Slipstream (TFA colours)

Yeah, mail away exclusive Ghost Starscream. There's also Universe Starscream which is a pretty neat repaint. I skipped it cos I already have Classics Starscream, but I would've picked it up in a heartbeat if I didn't.

Slipstream's a neat idea. But I'd really like to see Hasbro prioritise Thundercracker and Dirge first before considering more obscure characters like Sunstorm and Slipstream. These obscure characters should be the exclusives with Thundercracker and Dirge as common store releases, not the other way around IMO.

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?

I'm guessing by Robots in Disguise Ramjet you mean Classics Ramjet? (Same mold different wings?)

If that's the case I've got them both sitting here in front me me, and I have to disagree I'm afraid. My Ramjet (purchased in mid 2007) had really loose legs out of the box and the plastic feels a few notches more brittle and coarse than the norm for Hasbro. Thrust I've not got a complaint about really.

No need to be afraid about disagreeing. Maybe our toys are different (like maybe something happened at the factory) because my Ramjet has quite tight legs and feels tougher than my Thrust lol. I did just buy my Ramjet about a month ago from eBay MISB. Nonetheless, Thrust is a great toy that makes my seeker collection almost complete. Now I'm after that cracking in the thunder above
