God dammit, time to find me a Ramjet and Skywarp...
This entire wave is awesome, I'll have no money soon enough though!

Even though I too own Gentei TC, I will still buy this release. Now I just need Thrust to have a complete set of Universe Seekers. I'll still keep my exclusive figures though.

Well, I'm wrong. It's G1 TC all the way. Congrats to everyone who wants him!

I can't but help wonder if the rise of the KOs would have assisted Hasbro in breaking their agreement (or agreeing to a new one) with FunPub regarding this figure. It's certainly doesn't look very different to the FunPub one.

BOOOO!

ME WANT ACTION MASTER COLOURS!

It's funny that people forget that at the time the Botcon set was released Hasbro had no plans to continue the Classics line. It was an interim line with limited mould designed to tide people over until the movie. Cue the 2007 movie, all efforts were being placed in that, and therefore no Classics toys were on the horizon, so FunPub asked if they could pick up the slack and Hasbro actually tried to do right by the fans by saying yes to FunPub.


Now that Hasbro's plan seems to be to alternate between a Movie line and a Classic line, there is a greater desire from within Hasbro to complete certain collections of figures (eg: the seekers, the Autobot cars, etc).

With that all said, the TC images look awesome! And again following in Hasbro's behaviour of homaging the orignal toy rather than necessarily copying the show model.

This makes me laugh.

I'm pretty sure a petition to release Thundercracker to mass-market, (obviously not needed now), would garner a hell of a lot more votes.

[1AZRAEL1]

Haha I love some of the peoples names. None that I can post here

[gdmetro]

Ditto on the names

Wow..petition? really? Decision for Hasbro: Benefit a very small minority by not releasing and make a potential loss or benefit majority and profit?- Yes very hard decision. As if that would change any plans for Hasbro to release- considering the figs are probably in production already.

[Hursticon]

Petition =

At the end of the day, yes the exclusive figures will loose a little value but they're still going to be worth far more, Hasbro will only benefit from releasing the figure so that renders the whole argument moot - like gdmetro said.
