The fine folks from TFclub over at Taobao have given us in-package images for the upcoming Dark Of the Moon Deluxe class figures, Mudflap and Thundercracker. Mudflap features an all new mold for the third Bay-verse movie, and a Mechtech Battle Axe. Thundercracker is a repaint of DOTM Deluxe Starscream, and wields a Mechtech Assault Saw. Check out the biographies and images below!

Mudflap

MUDFLAP is quickly becoming a veteran AUTOBOT soldier, but there are days he cannot believe he`s battling the DECEPTICONS shoulder-to-shoulder with OPTIMUS PRIME. MUDFLAP shows the courage and enthusiasm of a distinguished AUTOBOT even though the DECEPTICONS may have to wait a few years before they truly fear him.

Thundercracker

STARSCREAM thinks highly of THUNDERCRACKER. He tries to instill the less expeprienced THUNDERCRACKER with attack strategies and weapons information for the day he finally usurps the throne from MEGATRON. THUNDERCRACKER is a quick learner and a serious threat to any AUTOBOT that dare engage him in battle.

*sigh* Its really sucks when greatness can easily be screwed up. The alt mode and paint apps on this are just perfect. IMHO this jet fighter mode really should have been used for the classics/generations line. But then Hasbro decides to return to this crappy BS mold robot mold and this even crappier head sculpt. Sometimes change is good so why the hell couldn't they come up with some better variations to this great TF by name...'nuff said!

This post just makes me angry.

Anyway, I like the little reference to Movie Starscream being the old usurper we love him to be. Definitely going to pick up Thundercracker and I'll wait patiently for a Skywarp.

Is it just me, or does it look like there's an autobot symbol on thundercracker's left arm. It's probably just a blurry decepticon symbol, but it still looks like it to me.

I hate to say it but that looks exactly like what has happened. I'm going to be beyond pissed if I find this Thundercracker before I find the Generations one. I have 5 out of the six seekers from Generations, just need the big blue T to finish the set. Of course, now I'll have another new set to start on but I'm hoping they stop with just three. I'm picturing the Conehead colors on the Raptor body style and it just isn't meshing well in my mind.

I love the Alt mode for these movie seekers. :KREMZEEK:

And I really hate the Robot mode for the seekers. :SICK:

Generations Thundercracker, Wheeljack, and Warpath have recently been showing up at Walmarts in the past week. I'd keep an eye out on your local Walmarts for those figures.

Autobot Thundercracker.

Maybe he defected TO the Decepticon side, like Jetfire defected FROM the decepticon side.

I'll have to pick him up, Love me my Thundercrackers. He'll look good next to Generations and Titanium.

So Mudflap is sporting the Deluxe Prime's axe and Thundercracker has Roadbuster's saw. I'm OK with that.

I agree. I'm still not sure if I'm going to display these figures with or without the MechTech weapons anyway.

While Skids really isn't completely atrocious, Mudflap makes him look like an absolute piece of trash.

Thundercracker... I like Roadbuster's saw thing, so maybe I'll get my brother to buy it.

I'm actually quite looking forward to Thundercracker. I'll have a complete seeker set, one mold from each movie as well.

I do wish they'd remolded the head, but it's satisfactory as-is.

I was on the fence about the F22 deluxes. No more. I'm going to get 'screamer, 'cracker and, God help me, 'warp WHEN he's released (not 'if', nooooooo).
