Wow, I'm definitely getting this guy! The main thing I didn't like about Breakaway was the colors, I can definitely deal with this scheme. It wont make me start collecting coneheads, but who says I've gotta get them all?

I think ill be getting this one. The molds not to bad with some slight mods & these colors are a much needed improvement.

I knew that this mold would be getting better colours and yes thsi is the version I'll be getting.
Just sucks for those that wanted a complete Seeker set that Thrust isn't same size as the rest of em.

Mind you this is different packaging compared to the first 3 waves. Looks like this movie's repaint line will be some sort of 'Red' focus. Swerve... Dead End... now this Thrust is Red too!

That is a different head scupl! ive zoomed in several times and its different...really different and ill be picking him up for sure... about time hasbro did something about the repaints, instead of painting them different colors, new head scupls is a nice touch...

I only own a couple Transformers myself, I just put them up in my cube at work as decoration (they're a nice stress relief when I'm on deadline too). I think I'm gonna pick up Thrust. I don't have a jet yet, and he looks totally awesome.
Breakaway doesn't have much kibble in jet mode, and his robot mode is pretty sweet. The only things I don't like about it are the color scheme and the big, round, googly eyes. Thrust fixes both of these problems, plus he's a decepticon, which is always a plus for me.

well it certainly sounds as if this Thrust is going to be a fan fav... nice touch with the different head sculpt..don't know if that is a fluke or if hasbro management has decided new noggins are a good fan and customer relations idea... it will remain to be seen if they carry on with this approach in other repaints in the future..
It sure would be nice to keep getting new head sculpts for repaints All the time, Hasbro...

I am probably gonna get this one. The colors are better, and I like the head a lot more. 
I wonder if Dirge is following up.

New colours, cool - I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth but this is the one time I wish Hasbro hadn't used a new headsculpt... I liked Breakaway's D'awww expression.
Still, I'll probably pick up this and the new Dirge mold.

Sweeeet! I love this mold, and I was hoping there would be some repaints of it! That's a must-buy for me.

This one's a pass for me, I don't think its a good choice of robot mode for one of the individuals of the secondary seekers group.
And I guess I'm the only one that digs Breakaway in both bot mode and color.

No, you're not. I love his plane mode, his bot mode, AND his color scheme and paint job. It's my favorite ROTF figure so far.

Seconded. Breakaways' colors just aren't very good. Thrust here seems to have corrected that issue.

Looks nice. I will get him, but I would rather have gotten a voyager Statscream repaint in red and a dirge repaint also to go with the recently released walmart Ramjet and Skywarp. Im tired of incomplete seeker sets sold in retail.

I'll recommend Sideswipe. He's a pretty impressive figure.
Legends Devastator.. IIRC, it's coming out some time in August. Remember it's Takara-only, so you'll have to order it from an overseas distributor.

Honestly, I think this is great. I may be a little biased on the matter because I don't really like movie-Scream's toy designs, but in general I'd rather see a retool of a new figure than more repaints of the older ones. Even if it would of been justified for the Seekers.

Well, Hasbro *did* state that they're trying to make toys more interesting, when it comes time to issue the inevitable round of repaints... and that to that end, they'd started planning secondary head sculpts early on, and ALREADY including it in the first mold. That way, they just use the head they need, rather than go back and retool the whole dang thing just to make a slightly modified toy.
Perhaps the ROTF line is the first real evidence of it... a new head sculpt, already being previewed, so quickly after the first wave comes out. Wasn't there also a repaint of Sideswipe or Sideways, that had a new head?
