New Gallery: Combiner Wars Leader Class Thundercracker
Thundercracker, as we all know by now, is a remold of the Generations Leader Class Jetfire and features a completely remolded head and chest, but includes some of Jetfire's accessories as well as Thundercracker's signature arm mounted null rays, giving him a nice arsenal of killing equipment.
Enough about Jetfire, though, it's Thundercracker's turn on the catwalk and he's gonna shake his tush on the catwalk... Yeah, on the catwalk. You can see all of that by clicking on the images below:

Only if they are having a tea party and Mrs. Nesbitt is invited.

You bet! 18 new images have been upload to the Generations Combiner Wars Leader Class Thundercracker gallery. The newest images feature group shots with various incarnations of Thundercracker including Masterpiece, Titanium, Smallest, Generations, G1, Robotmasters and more! It took an additional 3 hours for these 18 photos from start to finish to gather up this army of Thundercrackers, photograph their robot mode shots, transform them all into jet mode, photograph the group in jet mode, crop the photos, update the news story, and put all of the Thundercrackers away back in the appropriate storage tubs. Check out more pictures by clicking on the images below.

You ask Seibertron and Seibertron delivers!
That aside, the combiner wars leader and MP comparisons are quite telling and very interesting. I didnt know he was bigger and since they cost far less, I am not sure if these leaders should become my seekers for the MP scale

Thunderflockers?
'Handsome as an F-22 Fighter Jet' should be the first single.

Thanks for the comparisons! I am not the one who asked but it is nice to see what he looks like with himself! XD

THANK YOU!! I wasn't expecting the response that my request got. I appreciate the extra time & effort you made on our behalf to give us these photos. The Seibertron Galleries are the cleanest, brightest, most thorough, TransFormers pics albums on the Net and we deeply admire & appreciate them! Well done!!

Don't get me wrong, MP Thundercracker is a great representation of his original look, but that was then, this is now, and CWL Thundercracker is a fantastic representation of a modern up-to-date 21st century look.

Totally agree! And plus, these will be easier to obtain and cheaper. And less finicky of course.

That's a fair call BUT ... just like the Datsun boys, the Seeker jets are their own characters, they may share a mold but they're very much individual.
Buy them all. You'll be kicking yourself when they bring Skywarp out. (And they'd better bring Skywarp out)

I'll second that. I'm kicking myself for not picking up a few repaints that I was on the fence about now that I've seen after market prices. It seems I never want anything as bad as when I can't have it.

You'd be happy to hear then that someone has found skywarp on a computer. But since there was never photo evidence, the rumour doesnt hold much water.
Also, I do have a question about this mold being great for seekers. The one part that throws me off is the wings in robot mode. I am used to one set of wings extending out his sides on the back. But with this mold, the wings are more of a canopy that keep going upwards past his shoulders. I didnt mind that for Jetfire but for the seekers, it looks a bit off. Granted, I only saw that when I compared it to the MP. How do you feel about the new wing arrangement? And you dont miss the vents on the side of his head?

The vents on the sides of the head defining traits of the seeker head, I was kinda sad when I saw they weren't there.

Seeing the modern Leader CW TC next to the MP is quite a comparison. Sure, CW is built cheaply, but the overall bot is BIGGER and beefier! And for 1/3 or 1/4 of the price of a Japanese MP!
I don't think I'll buy TC, but you are sure I'll be buying starscream!

I know we tend to say the CW bot is built cheaper, but I think he is sturdier and less likely to break. And I also assume he is easier to pose and have stand correctly.

The vents are still there, they're just not as defined. And I would LOVE an Acidstorm repaint.

But you're looking at him from a nostalgia perspective.
Masterpiece Thundercracker is the Seeker mold of the 20th century. It's the definitive rendering of his cartoon self.
You can have that look in multiple ways, we have already, Robot Masters, Classics ... it's been done.
Now look at CWL Thundercracker again. Remembering what century you're living in. It's still Thundercracker, but he's better designed, his look is updated, yes it's different but it's a GOOD different.
I LOVE this mold for the Seekers. Jetfire can just with the rest of the so-called CW "outcasts". This is his second chance and he's once again failed.

I love his body design, but I'm not feelin the head for some reason, but I think that head would look better on Starscream.

But the new leader Idw cw version, being MP scale is awesome. He may be hollow and plastic, but MP Thundercracker hides his emptiness inside.
Posted by MaverickPrime on May 29th, 2015 @ 8:49pm CDT
However, I've also grown quite fond of Acid Storm due to getting the Universe deluxe as a gift from my father, so if he gets the leader treatment, I'll have no option but to chase him, the Legends and maybe even the MP, because I'm more likely to get all Acid Storms than I am to get all Skywarps xD
