There really isn't any specific release date for most Hasbro Transformers product. The only real exception is the first wave of toys from a new movie which would have a street date. Nobody can give you a date in which you can walk into TRU and find a Masterpiece figure sitting on the shelf. That depends on a lot of things including distrubution in your area.

We do not know much about Masterpiece Thundercracker. Hasbro hasn't even officially announced it yet.

I'd love to see an App that would show the projected release and stores for upcoming transformers. There are just so many exclusives: Toys'R Us, Target, BBTS, BotCon, Comicon. As a casual collector i find it almost impossible to find the transformers I'm looking for and many times I find out about them by the time they are Sold Out.

August is probably the closest you'll get for MP-10 release, but I wouldn't be surprised it started showing up by the end of this month. It's a shame that there's never a specific release date, but if you keep up with other US sightings/releases, you'll be very familiar with certain regions getting figures before others (sometimes by weeks at a time).

Also, Lambor/Sideswipe should be available in October according to a few other sites, with Soundwave and Alert in December.
