It is a Wlmart exclusive, just like Starscream. And yes, I bought both the deluxe class twins and indeed, the transformation was as engaging as MP Prime. I know that seems unbelievable, but when you consider how lacking the Hasbro instructions are in detail how to convert the figure you'll realize that you just spent the same amount of time on Skids & Mudflap as you did on MP Rime or your first Alternator.

The issue with deluxes like the twins is the same issue as with most Alternators; chunky robot parts made from hard plastic inside thin plastic car shells, with a demanding transformation that requires pieces to knock or scrape past one another if you are not extremely careful, which you aren't when you first open that toy you wanted so badly.

when's this one coming out? and will it hit canada at the same time? because if i'm correct, Starscream came out here a few months after the american date.

wasn't planning on buying many MP figures but the idea of having all three seekers next to each other on a shelf brings a smile to my face. so here's hoping it comes out soon and that Thundercracker is next.

i do have a question though, does anybody know why the Takara versions dont have cartoon acurate colors? like do they have a specific reason for this? my guess is they want them to look somewhat more realistic but yeah.

It does seem a bit wrong to display the word "Cheap" so prominantley on what is inevitably going to be one of the most expensive figures in the store at the time.

I already own all three seekers, but I wouldn't mind picking this guy up and keeping him MISB with my other two Screamers that came out 2 years back.

Sweet. Hope it is not a Walmart exclusive like SS was.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Now, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that next year will being us US MP Thundercracker-with chest thrusters pointing in the right direction.


Ok but just don't hold your breath - they didn't correct the mistakes on universe superion.

It is...what you should hope for is that it gets even distribution unlike Starscream where some stores (and states) got none while others were flooded with the damn things leading to their going on clearence and the scalpers able to buy them for $35 or less and turn around and sell them on eBay at a $50 markup.
