Robot Mode
Thrust looks quite nice here, the expression is a tad blank but the face is a nice white colour and the eyes are yellow just like in the cartoon. The body has cartoon accurate colours too, though one could ask is this a good thing? For my money the colours on the toy were far superior to how his colours were portrayed in the cartoon. Thrusts knee pads are a bit too big and obscure his thighs, making him look more stubby than he really is but he does have his tail wings coming out of his calves and the main wings angle all make the legs and torso work. Despite some quibbles that are all relatively minor this is a pretty damn fine looking Thrust!
Vehicle Mode
The theoretical F15-VTOL mode Thrust was based on has been faithfully represented here. It's really hard not to love the MP Seeker mold – in my opinion the best looking jets of the entire Transformers line ever! A very nice little touch they have put in is that his wing turbines actually rotate, though one has to do it via finger rather than being able to blow on it like some other TF toys. Thrust here has all the features the other MP Seekers have such as the nosecone and cockpit that open. He also has extra guns that go under the wings since his arm mounted ones fold in to the side.
Transformation
Most people that have been collecting the MP Seekers know how to do this and it’s certainly not the most onerous MP transformation ever. A change they have made here from some of the other Seeker toys such as Ramjet is the configuration for the guns when converting to jet mode. The guns instead of swinging out on two big struts under the wings now fold down and sideways on double jointed smaller struts to sit flush with the side of the jet whilst two removable guns are placed under the wings.
Worth Getting?
For the exorbitant price tag I’d say unless you are a mad TF collector then no. despite how cool he is. But if you are like me and just can't pass up having an MP of every Seeker than he will fit right in to your collection nicely.
