Yesterday, we repoprted a rumor about the first image of Transformers Movie Thundercracker. Now there is another image of the figure. A photo showing Thundercracker in robot and jet mode has been posted on AC Toys. Click here to view the image for yourself.

Robot looks like smeg due to the terrible design, but the jet looks great in those colours.

It still reminds me of the episode when Scourge used the Matrix and got all distorted.

... But, you know, with ThunderCracker instead.

Good lookin, but still not to great a fan of that bot design.
It's basically the same jet as Energon SS, so why not just update that design to be a bit more movie-like? Why go all KFC on us?

other than the entire design and look of the figure being terrible, it's cool.

Yuck

A repaint of a bad figure

by **Godmodule** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 1:09 pm

It still looks like a fanjob to me...

by **Rodimus sucks** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 1:32 pm

He is mistransformed (lower legs, wings and shoulders)
I like the paintjob but the his plain grey upperlegs look TERRIBLE!

Of course we get a movie Thundercracker...
Every figure will get at least one repaint. This advertising will cost a lot and Hasbro will have to get each and every last cent we have...
I like the toys... I hate repaints!

I like the head, and that's about all. If I was a kitbasher I'd get one just to put that head on something else, but I'm not, so I'm not touching this one. Sucks, too, cause that's a great face. Lot of character. Oh well.

by **dabattousai** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 2:13 pm

The face is alright, but still...that mold...

by **Foallen** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 2:41 pm

I think crabs are kind of cool, and this robot definitely reminds me of one, and yet I don't really like it.

by **Homer** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 2:55 pm

Yeah, gotta say that no matter how the mold is painted, still not a fan.

by **Bouncy X** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 3:02 pm

i feel for movie starscream...the toy doesnt seem to have any actual hands, just some kinda guns instead but the tv spots have showed that he does have hands with fingers and all....poor guy

Awful design, but nice colours, and the head design is a step in the right direction.
I dont think a Skywarp figure with that design would look that nice though, Skywarp was always the sleekest looking of the trio and the Screamer movie mold does not infer sleek-ness.

He's gonna need to exist in some form of the moviverse for me to get him (ie Comic, Game etc)

cool, hope its legit

by **Gutter Bunny** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 1:56 am

This mold does nothing for me as either character...so far it looks like the only movie toys i will be picking up is blackout and that target prime repaint

I like the face, but I don't like the body. Though the expression on the face looks to me like he's thinking, "Ewww! I just stepped in something nasty. Better find a place to wipe it off."
