It's about time, they said. A Takara Tomy, cartoon-accurate Masterpiece Decepticon strike plane Thundercracker. MP-11T is, across Hasbro and Takara, the second version of Thundercracker to use the MP-11 mould. The Hasbro Thundercracker from a few years ago was more toy coloured and had tampos of Reflector and Soundwave (as well as various bits of relevant text) that not everyone wanted. At the end of 2015, after a reissue of MP-11 Coronation Starscream and the Hasbro Asia MP-11SW Skywarp, Takara Tomy Mall (this specimen specifically through Hasbro Asia) finally gave us a toon-coloured light blue Thundercracker. So does the third Masterpiece toy to bear the Thundercracker name finally do the business for the cartoon crowd?









My short article/review of MP-11T Thundercracker. Thanks for looking, if you do.

Love the insight as always. Wish I could get this version of TC. Still love my Hasbro TRU version though. Hoping Hasbro releases the new mold for Skywarp at some point.

Looking forward to your MP Ironhide article (assuming you'll do one of course )

Its me being picky, really - but if you're going for anime blue, then you should use anime white as well. The use of silver is a very odd choice like that.

Brill article as always.

Cheers guys, yeah I did actually begin thinking where the line is between completely animation accurate and a toy/real interpretation of white surfaces - I guess Anime Streak or Silverstreak are a similar situation where he may look flat white on screen but silver works far better for the figures.

Ironhide I'll give the once over as soon as Anime Export decide to tell me what to pay for shipping!
