Not sure if I'm the first to notice this or not, but I noticed on some of the SDCC 2012 photos that on the back of Masterpiece Thundercracker's box, there is no photograph of the actual figure itself, but rather some artwork based on the Classic mold of Thundercracker. I found this to be very strange, not only about it being artwork, but being artwork of a completely different figure! This is a new low for Hasbro, and is the stupidest thing they've done since canceling the Prime First Edition figures in my opinion. Me being a UK citizen, I'm also VERY pissed that this figure isn't gonna be released in the UK! :evil:

Recycling of unused artwork so as not to have to commision a new piece would be my guess...

Motto: "When did I get this tattoo?"

Weapon: Thrust Gun

So what? It's just artwork. How is it a new low? That's not even lower than the cancellation of DOTM Wave 6+ and the FEs.
