Our friend kotoys has just posted a new gallery of upcoming Generations Thunderwing. Thunderwing is part of the Generations Wave 5 figures.
Thunderwing had a prominent role in Marvel's Transformers comic book as a Decepticon warlord and also several appearances in the U.K comics which predate his appearance in U.S., showing how Thunderwing rose from being a young, promising warlord to leader of the Decepticons.

It doesn't look as bad as it did in the other shots. I think I will change my mind and get one, he was a favorite of mine in the comics. I just hope that back kibble in robot mode can be taken off easily. He will be displayed in robot mode only, just as Straxus (or Darkmount :roll: ) so I won't need that stuff on his back.

You know, with a few minor paint changes, I can see this figure as Energon Megatron or Galvatron. All in all, I like it. I'll never see it here, but I like it. We're still on Wave 1 of the Generations figures and HFTD figures...three waves behind the rest of the country.

So considering that Thrust is slightly smaller than Generations/Henkei Thrust it's still big enough to be a deluxe right? His bot mode kinda and I do stress KINDA reminds me of energon Megatron. All in all he's pretty damn cool 'nuff said! :CON:

Well... despite how underwhelming he looks (mainly due to the class size, should be voyager at least) I think I will get him cos I love the Marvel comics incarnation of him. Wish he had an accurate Geoff Senior-style evil snarly face though. Nobody draws mean looking Decepticons like Senior did. Always did want a physical representation of the character and this is a lot more affordable (and posable) than the old G1 toy which gets crazy prices these days.

Looks like a great mold and I'll definitely be picking him up.

A bit like Jazz though, the white/grey bits just seem like they're lacking something, I think a wash with a slightly darker colour should help.

I am only collecting G1 toys but this is a must for me to get. He looks awesome.

Definite buy.

I loved his Marvel incarnation. Such a pity IDW ruined him with the hollow, soulless Stormbringer.

Great toy though.

Would love to get the Hotshot/Springer/Roadbuster mold repainted as Ruckus to go with him.

This guy is looking a lot better than I first thought. His head sculpt looks really good. I wish we would have gotten pictures of the drone.

I'm really loving this figure. The jet mode looks really good, and I like the colours and styling of the robot mode.

I think he looks really cool. The initial images of him didn't look that good, but these make him look pretty awesome. Looking forward to getting him.

He looks really plastic-y. Maybe it's just that off-white plastic... He still looks cool, though. I'll get him.

Posted by Forgotten on October 30th, 2010 @ 12:01pm CDT
Awesome amounts of win. I think the only way we can get something better than this as a Thunderwing would be if FP did one(Pretender Style) so that he could have the upgraded appearance he had in Stormbringer, but hey this is pretty damned close.

I agree with that too. The voyager is a good figure but does not fill the classic's spot for Bludgeon. I If Hasbro does release a Bludgeon figure in the Generation's line, I'd like to use HeadRobot's Blood IDW style head for him :grin:
Re: Toy Images of Generations Thunderwing (1141287)
Posted by ShardFenix on October 30th, 2010 @ 1:26pm CDT
eh...i still dont see it. I loved the pretender growing up, but this one just looks cheap. The way the alt mode folds up just reminds me of Universe Silverbolt Im a robot on the bottom of a plane syndrome. I will definitely need to see a gallery and a video review of the transformation before im sold on this guy.

I feel the same. I'll pick him up though, even though he's a little more organic than I normally go for, and I was unsure about the forest green coloring on the legs. I still like him, especially the way the wings fold out in bot mode.

His transformation looks really simple, like I wouldn't think it's much more than 'lie down.'
Re: Toy Images of Generations Thunderwing (1141314)
Posted by Blurrz on October 30th, 2010 @ 2:42pm CDT
Reminds me of '07 Movie Stockade and ROTF Brawn. Simple transformation, but a solid sculpt and very good articulation.

Yeah that was then though. We were peeing our pants if a bot came with more than 4 movable joints. I expect better from a 2010 line...

Pretty sweet figure. Too bad i won't get him due to being too white, and too small for Thunderwing.

As a collector of mainly the jets, I still not sure I want him. The colors are far too meh, and the nose is hideous. I will stick to the seekers and other jet molds, unless I run across him on sale at walmart, lol.

Not that bad but not that good either. Perfect for one of the generic Decepticons in a seeker army. ill buy him.

(and I know he is technically not a "seeker" but could be part of a team like G1 Slugslinger, Triggerhappy, and Misfire which in my mind was always a new wave seeker team when the toys originally came out) ;)

Bot mode looks great... like he jumped straight out of the comics! Can't wait.

Can't believe we've gotten a Straxus, Hailstorm/Mindset, Thrust, Dirge & Blurr... and soon, there'll be a Thunderwing, Kup, Jazz, Wheeljack, Windcharger, Wreck-Gar, Skullgrin, Perceptor, Reflector, Tracks, Grapple, Rumble/Frenzy, Scourge, etc etc. We're inching closer & closer to completing a Classics G1 show cast, with various fan-favorite TF comics characters to boot. It's a great time to be a TF fan!

Hahaha, whitey be gettin in my way, yoo... need to slap some chocolate thunder on that wing.

Nah, far, faaar too much jet kibble to look like his agile comic self. I'm just wondering if it can be removed without harming the robot form itself too much like removing the 'wings' off a Classics Megatron. Also would definitely want to paint the white areas a darker gray or off blue. The white is too bright.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Not until Hasbro releases a Classics Bludgeon. And no, the Movie one won't do. Although... O what the hell. Thirded.


But movie Bludgeon is superb. And a decent sized figure for an important character or leader. I wish Thunderwing was as big. Deluxe size is just too small for imposing characters like these. Is why I was never convinced of Classics Grimlock (apart from the fact the robot mode was just plain crap) and again with Galvatron.

The problem i had with Bludgeon was really thin joints compared to what a tough Tank Robot should have, as well as the face, seemed too far from a skull with a samurai lookin helmet... this was more like... cowboy ghost. But yea, Thunderwing shoulda been bigger for sure.

Doesn't that take away the fact that it's a Transformer? :-? I dunno, I guess I'm not an action figure collector :D

I'm having trouble thinking of anything else that the second use of this mould could credibly be... Is the character too obscure though? Fingers crossed all the same!!

Does anyone reckon they could possibly get a Dai Atlas out of this mould? With a new head, some resculpting and a little drill-tank drone that stuck out the front of his plane mode? Hell, I just want a new Dai Atlas...

The colour scheme's maybe a bit too similar to justify the extensive remould, I reckon. Now an Energon Galvatron could be fun, billed as Cybertronian Galvatron or something to distinguish from the Universe toy. Then again, I'd still rather have a Galvatron from the WFC Megatron mould, methinks :D

I just ordered this figure from amazon and I am freaking excited! This guy looks amazing! I was a huge stormbringer fan, so I will make an add on kit that will give him his stormbringer look. I will post pictures of him once I'm done here on Seibertron.com.

Open it. Chances are he will be either not released, or released as Black Shadow, his Victory remold, as the G1 Thunderwing toy didn't make it in Japan otherwise.

good point about him not having had a Japanese release originally. However, I don't think they got a G1 Straxus (and can't imagine weekly British comics had a huge following there) either, so who can tell with those crazy TakaraTomy blokes?
