BotCon TC still got the nicest stripes.

Aha...now there's a reason for a mass-retail Skywarp reissue - give it a new paint job to match the striping with Universe Starscream and Generations Thundercracker.

I could go for that. I have the one that came with Ultra Magnus, but always could use another one....

I think I like Transformers a little too much...... :KREMZEEK:

By the way, I like the Botcon Dirge too.....

Im going to keep the chrome launchers from the KO I just got to go with Hasbros version. The KO may end up in jet mode hidden away on my shelf.

Yes! I had figured that we'd be getting a Thundercracker from the Classics Seeker mould sometime pretty soon. Now all we need is another Skywarp for people who missed out on/passed up the Target exclusive in '06. Also, I hope Reprolabels makes some stickers for Wheeljack.

I'm disagreeing with the point of people arguing against exclusives at all, and add to that list buying Knockoffs as a collector.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what does "oh noble Oregano" refer to?

I was joking around...you called me a Sage...which is also a cooking spice, so I called you Oregano, which is a spice.

Consider it a happy emoticon!

Now I feel like a fool for not remembering that sage is also the name of a spice, especially after watching so many seasons of Hell's Kitchen. Well done! :APPLAUSE:

No need to feel sorry for me. I bought the GOD set and have absolutely no regrets! But as a GOD set owner I am happy for everyone that TC will now be widely available.

Oh my goodness, gotta say something on this!

Generations Thunderacker! What is this, I don't even-

I am pleased, the others look awesome too (Wheeljack and Kup especially) but i've been wanting Thundercracker for awhile now, so, thumbs up on that front, lol.

The more I consider this release, the more I am convinced it is a direct response to the KO coming out.

Really??

I was thinking that too. We had an idea we were going to get Wheeljack, but TC came out of left field. So far I have been impressed with the QC of Thrust and Dirge, so prays Thundercraker is he same.

Surprisingly Acid Storm was pretty tight joint-wise, but the QC of Universe Starscream was horrible.

Worse was finally getting a Henkei Thundercracker and then realizing he had worse QC than U-Starscream.

I just want a Thundercracker I don't have to pay $200+ for, and one that can stand on the shelf without falling off everyday.

I definitely can't wait for this. I've slowly been completing my Seeker collection (just got Dirge and Thrust for Christmas) and Thundercracker has been my most sought after. I was tempted to buy the KO version (and may still get the KO Skywarp) but now that we're getting a US release I wont have to

Now to decide if I want the KO Sunstorm, and to track down a decently priced Ramjet and I'll be satisfied.
