Im glad Thundercracker is now receiving his due character development (well hopefully). Somebody must've been reading thru a lot of fan sites and found this gripe... its always Starscream and yadayadayada getting the spotlight among the seekers ( well he is their leader). BUt ol TC has a lot of potential to explore/exploit since he is basically a "blank slate" - characterization wise. All there is to him is he is an ambivalent decepticon in his bio, but this has never been shown and fleshed out in any series or medium he appears in. His just.... there.

So this angle - IDW G1 Thundercracker = Armada Wheeljack is interesting and hopefully is tastefully handled by the writers.
