That is the best news I have heard all year. It's also about damned time too. Hope it is true.

Hi everybody,

I don't know if anyone's posted this yet; if so, mods please lock. BBTS has listed Generations 2011 Wave 03 with:

Thundercracker

Wheeljack

A friend emailed me the pre-order info, and we were discussed it a little. I don't know what else it could be, unless it's a wfc Thundercracker, but it seems like we would get Starscream before Thundercracker.

Awesome, guess I can cancel that United WJ pre-order now.

Preordered both.

Awesome find!

News Credits: 1235 · by **LOST Cybertronian** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:02 pm

Preordered both but will probably cancel when concrete info about release comes in. I've never had a whole lot of trouble finding deluxes in mass release.

Yes you read that right, valued site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com has put up their pre-orders for Transformers Generations Wheeljack and Thundercracker!
Both are slated for a February 2011 release and are in Wave 03, there are however no pictures of these figures available yet. Also it is as of yet unknown if the Thundercracker is the Generation 1 character or even which mold will be used. However it might be based of the Classics Seeker mold.
What we can be sure of is that Wheeljack will likely be close to the United version.
Just click the names to see the pre-order pages:
Thundercracker
Wheeljack

Hasbro did state the Seeker mold was "in use" when FunPub wanted it...

gaaahhhh yet again more news i sent in just a bit ago...ah well idc! im just so excited to finally have a REAL TC without paying the henkei price or the KO henkei price...now i just need to get my hands on a classics skywarp and my seekers will be finished!

News Credits: 1 · by **Lord Onixprime** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:06 pm

This is great. All I'll need to finish off the seekers would be Skywarp. Really hope they do a release of Skywarp, this time by himself......

I do feel sorry for those that bought that Botcon set with Thundercracker, Dirge, and Thrust. Especially if that was their main reason for buying it.

by **Crank729** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:09 pm

This is really awesome. Now all we need is a masterpiece thundercracker release from hasbro and all will be one.

same here on both parts of your post though i do see a good thing in owning the Botcon set since Thrust is unique in his own right and it was the first time Dirge an TC were first released

HASBRO hear our prayers...give us Skywarp for those who didn't get the Target two pack!

No need to feel sorry for us, we've had a complete set of Seekers for over three years now. Glad everyong else is going to able to a have a complete set.

Holy crap, I just about peed my pants when I saw the word "Thundercracker" next to the word "Generations". If this is the Classics Seeker mold, I am going to be in Seeker heaven.

I have the two pack, but still wouldn't mind Hasbro doing a more accurate Skywarp. The first one was on par with the first Starscream...in other words, it could easily be improved upon (like, say, the Henkei version.)

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:48 pm

This is the best news ive heard all day! Now the Seekers will be complete, unless Sun Storm makes a magical, unannounced appearance? Hint hint Tak/Hasbro.

Hellz yes, if this is seriously the long awaited classics mold Thundercracker we've all wanted (barring those who got the Botcon set and/or Henkei version, though I'd imagine even some of them are excited) then I will be all over this. I still need to get Dirge as well, to have all six... but as soon as I actually see one he's all mine too...

News Credits: 1 · by **Sodan-1** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:48 pm

I'm one of the numpties that forked out for the entire Henkei Seeker collection, but I doubt I'll ever regret that decision.

I may be jumping the gun here, but I wonder if we could look forward to a Sunstorm.

by **JRFitzpatrick7** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 1:49 pm

Gotta cancel United Wheeljack!! I think I'll repaint my KO Henkei Thundercracker into the generic seeker from G1. OMFG THAT SHOULD BE THE BOTCON ARMY BUILDER THIS YEAR*!!

If the mold is still in good shape I would love more Rainmakers and Sunstorm. Man am I off topic or what? Preordered both, 5 TCs, 2 WJs.

*Caps for clarity.
