I think Breakdown is my favorite though. I want that figure.



Yes they are. The mold got/is getting almost as much use as a Seeker mold normally does. :lol:

I remember that happening with Beast Machines deluxe-class Jetstorm. It never got retooled (where with this guy there always seems to be some variation to the mold), but there were as many repaints to Jetstorm as there were to the Sun/Swipe mold.

It's awesome, don't get me wrong but, I did spend the money for the japan versions of Thrust, Dirge, and most recently Red Alert. I wouldn't have if I had known but, no one seems to know a year or more in advance what Hasbro's going to do!! :lol: Maybe in the next year and a half, those of us who can't afford the japan Unicron, such as myself, maybe Hasbro will see to that. 8-} I know lots of you save up like I do to try and get these exclusives. Then WHAM a huge slap in the face!!! I love supporting the home team rather than paying these huge mark ups for oversea figures. Not only am i going for a nice complete collection but, a collection with a little value ya know. OH WELL. That's how it goes though everything is a gamble. :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD:

I just buy both.

Yeah. I know. Quoting the same post twice. I got thinking about it though; is it just me, or is Generations Thrust actually a repaint of Henkei Thrust? When I look at the newer one, I'm pretty sure the deco on the wings is different, and the red is more metallic looking. Maybe it's just me, though. That's what I get for thinking...

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Yes, Generations Thrust is a repaint of the TakaraTomy version of the mold. Hasbro can't use the one Fun Pub did for BotCon due to licensing restrictions.

Where did this come from? I remember why the Henkei mold was retooled. Besides, I never mentioned BotCon Thrust. I was comparing the in packages pics of Henkei Thrust and his Generations counterpart and noticed the paint apps on the wings were different, and got thinking Gen-Thrust was also more metallic looking.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your earlier statement. The Generations and Henkei ones are definitely different decos. The Generations one is a much richer (and possibly more glossy) burgundy, and is missing the lightning bolts.

No big. Just wanted to clear it up. Pretty much what I meant about the deco. The lightning bolts (assuming you meant on the wings) were replaced with an outline matching the rest of Thrust's black and burgundy body. Or at least that's how it looks to me.
