This is a April Fools joke. That can't be the official repaint for the convention exclusive Thundercracker.

Very good looking figure!

Looks hand painted. I don't think it is real.

It could be the botcon one but the paint looks a little off. It could just be because its the test figure. Looks good either way. I might just buy another Screamer and paint him like this.

Obvious repaint of Starscream. Dont think Thundercracker will be released. If he is, it'll probably be in a 2 or 3 pack with the other jets or something.

Classics Thundercracker is going to be released as a BotCon exclusive.

Needs more blue.

total Starscream repaint. The gray parts in jet mode give it away. and the robot mode looks a bit messy, specially the forearms. The chest piece needs to be Dark gray. and all the gray should be dark blue.

My thoughts exactly.

Now when do you think they'll make a green seeker?

I don't think that's really Thundercracker. He'd have a lot more blue if it was. Must be a custom repaint.

I vote repaint. But kind of nice.

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:41 pm

Try Armada Thrust. He's a seeker, and he is green.

News Credits: 7 · by **Geekee1** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:43 pm

I say repaint, the gold is not completely opaque.

News Credits: 104 · by **AutobotJazz** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:44 pm

I agree with the comments about needing more blue.

News Credits: 38 · by **TheMuffin** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:44 pm

Well I'll trust the dude who can read Japanese. But it does indeed look fake.

Tried it. Hated it. The conehead thing never really did it for me (too Go-Bot-ish), and the absense of useful hands and the...*ahem* "codpiece" sorta ruined it.

Man, that's really sweet looking figure, but yes more blue.

Starscream repaint

wonder what dirge and thrust will look like????????? damn hasbro and your botcon only transformers which people who don't have enough money or cant go so they can't get it, (ebay don't count but will cost more on ebay anyway.)

News Credits: 1 · by **Ninja Sixshot** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:59 pm

like everyone else said, more blue

Why call it "Classics" Thundercracker?

Don't sully the good name of the Classics line with a cash grab. Call him for what it is. "BotCon Exclusive Thundercracker".

Call me picky, but i'm still pissy about all this.

I hope that's not the real deal. It doesn't really look like Thundercracker because of the primarily grey color scheme. Thundercracker would be blue all over.

Damn!! I knew this would happen. & here I am, going to be fortunate if I can scrap together enough to get MP Megs by my B-day in May, & they drop a bomb like this saying must-have figures are going to be in a $250+ set. Great, just _______ Great.
