Takara TF Prime Thundercracker & Orion Pax

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Both are a tad disappointing. I picked up Skywarp all excited and after opening it have come to the conclusion that the mould doesn't really work for anyone but Starscream. A new head would remedy that a bit though. The smirk just doesn't sit well on the other seekers.

Speaking of new heads, I'd hop Orion gets one too. Shame they just went for a Nemesis Prime sort of coluring I guess, but I suppose too many people would just pass it up as Optimus.

They gave Orion the same red & blue of Optimus, just a different shade (lighter red and a darker blue). Plus Decepticon stickers (probably both, for the choice though).

There is also a Nemesis Prime (black redeco) coming (third photo), so maybe you were thinking that that toy was Orion Pax?

Official images from TakaraTomy of the pair, including a shot of the actual Thundercracker toy, showing that they aren't shiny like in the official (photoshopped) images.
Both their weapons will be shiny, just not the toys themselves.

Thundercracker will be hard to pass up .. but you knew it was coming!

Oh, yeah. I see now.

Not impressed really...

I am one season behind on the toon, but why is Orion Pax a Decepticon? Spy perhaps

He loses his memory, but remembers Megatron from before the war, so is easily convinced to joining the Decepticons.
