Thundercracker was the opposite with a Y tail and a triangle when turbo. It would be cool to see the Y tail configuration in one of the character toys...

Um, all of their tailfins made a triangular shape when boosting in jet mode/split and angled in halves when hovering.

I'm virtually certain, in story mode at least, that Thundercracker was opposite. When I get home I'll see if I can take some screenshots.

WTF, why are the Japanese FOC toys so expensive? Arms Micron deluxes aren't so bad, but almost $40 for a FOC deluxe? That's ridiculous. I was going to preorder Skywarp until I saw that. And my local shop is charging the same. These import prices are getting ridiculous. Looks like my import days are over. I hope Hasbro gets their act together soon and starts releasing some of these characters.

Import prices or supply and demand? $40 might get some to purchase just one or a couple, rather than all 20 in stock at $15.

Just a thought... I know BBTS has a tendency to charge higher for the short-packed singles in a case.

Okay, I had a sec to play WfC tonite and take some pics. The first one as Starscream is all that is needed, but if you want, I can post pics of all 3 Seekers in both hover and boost flight modes.



I'm playing here as Starscream in the middle with Thundercracker on the left. I did get it backward. Starscream and Skywarp have split tails in hover and triangle when turbo, and Thundercracker is Triangle in hover and split in turbo.

All this to say that I'd love to see a split tail remold on a Thundercracker re-paint. It looks fairly easy to do.

Photos of each.

Toys"R"Us Japan has posted images of the recently announced Takara Tomy Transformers Generations TG-17 Blaster with Steeljaw and TG-18 Skywarp. We know that Hasbro plans to release Blaster, but Skywarp's domestic release status remains unknown. Check out the images mirrored below.

Shouldn't Skywarp be more black?

He looks to use the same shiny dark metallic gray that Kickback uses. Not as black as previous versions.
