Generations thrust and Drift also are not visible. They may just be behind all those WFC guys, but I doubt it.

There was 1 Drift and 1 Thrust there. I picked up the extra Drift for one of the staff members from Seibertron.com who lives in Japan.

Probably because there already IS a movie Skywarp figure.

Also probably because this Thrust figure isn't in Skywarp's colors either. The jet mode is predominantly grey/silver.



I'd like to know why they called this figure Thrust at all. It's not in Thrust's colors. I would've been happy with a new name or a recycled name from someone that we haven't heard from in a while. I wonder if this was just an exercise in maintaining their rights to the name "Thrust"?

Well, it has Thrust's head mold, that's for sure. As for the colors, I did some looking and, except for the black, it's a dead ringer for RiD Skyfire. I'll have you know the "Skyfire" trademark is lost since Energon (hence "Skyblast" for the Skyfire lookalike Omnicon).

indeed, but it wouldnt be the first time the same character has had two figures in different size classes. Just sayin it aint right having a seeker painted in Skywarp's colors bein called Thrust when the same mold already has him is the right colors.

he's not in Skywarp's color. This new Thrust figure is predominantly grey/silver.

... So the 'Stealth Force' thing has Classics Hound and Animated Soundwave in addition to movie guys. Weird. But they actually look kind of interesting, compared to the little hot-wheels cars you just stand up on its butt.

Ugh, why does it have to be packaged with YET ANOTHER DAMN BUMBLEBEE?! Otherwise that repaint may still be called Thrust, but he'd actually make a pretty good Ramjet or Skywarp for people that didn't get the walmart exclusives repaints.
Don't know why they'd need to 'hold' Thrust's name with a RotF figure since they just had the Generations one out, unless the two 'characters' count differently for some reason.

Tailwhip ... is apparently Vortex. Neat, but those molds are both meh if you've already got Arcee and Blazemaster. I'd rather give Vortex-like abilities to Windburn when he's released.

Another pack with the ice cream truck version of the twins is nice for the people that couldn't find that little nugget though.
