That's correct.

Also, if Hasbro is stupid enough not sell TC as a general release due to its Botcon Exclusive status, then that is really just like saying they don't like making money. I really don't like to be a negative Nathan about this stuff, but the Seeker situation is pretty ridiculous.

Oh, they like making money. They like it very well. Not to worry, we've seen 4 of 6 seekers thus far. It's only a matter of time.

I hope so. I would be willing to pay the money, that's for sure. I would actually get enough for two sets so I could have all of them in both modes. That would be fantastic.

Hasbro's new Thrust release is not an indicator for a possible Thundercraker release.

A thundercracker release while redecos would still share the same complete mold with Botcon TC. Hasbro can release Thrust using Takara's molds because the Botcon release had custom made wings.

A small difference but a big enough one that the guys at Funpub can't complain seeing it is a "different" piece.

But technically they can just change the paint apps/coloring enough and do anything, can't they? Hence Henkei seekers?

Without upsetting the fans who have either the BotCon or Henkei version? You nuts?

Those whiny complainers? Bah, who cares about them!
