There has been some speculation that this was maybe what the toy was initially intended to be:

Any speculation to if this means anything cool? Or just a boring site revamp? It is Autobot August still...

Isn't this guy a Takara/Tomy Mall exclusive?

Yeah, hence why you are paying a 75$ premium on him. He's only 125$ if you have a physical japan adress you can ship him to. Its the same thing as with Defensor, only to a greater extent (I think the premium for him was only 50$)
By the way, I just calculated, any canadian interested in buying this from BBTS would end up paying 340$ total. For an overrated mold, this is a lot of money.

Look at all them G1'ers letting has/tak steal their money, if G1 weren't such a thing, I'm sure we would've gotten these years ago for the same price as Acidstorm

As with Skywarp, I believe the cost (combined with lack of accessories) will be prehibitive enough that fewer will buy him than bought the original MP 11.
Also, Has/tak is not to blame for this entirely, at least not this time. Hasbro's Masterpiece Seekers are practically the same cost as their Leader figures (thanks to my rain check, they are exactly the same cost) and Takara is not making any extra money on the premium BBTS is charging. The premium goes to second or third party distributors since BBTS cannot buy this directly from Takara since Takara is only ditributing this in southeast Asia and only at one retailer in Japan. Takara is getting as much money from this 200$ Seeker as it would get if you buy it for 125$ and lived in Japan (which I am assuming to be max 60$ in both cases).wilcosu35 wrote: He's one of the well-known decepticons which is why i think he should get a regular release, not this limited ****.
Thats almost as insane as making one of the standard Combiners exclusive, oh wait!

So what makes this guy unique/cool? Is it just his lovely shade of baby blue?
It's the MP-11 mold done up as Thundercracker in a deco that's more show-accurate than any other Masterpiece Thundercracker has had.carytheone wrote:So what makes this guy unique/cool? Is it just his lovely shade of baby blue?

An speaking of BBTS and the MP line, I just noticed on their front page they have MP-18B Bluestreak in stock now.

You can still pick up Hasbro's MP-11 styled Thundercracker for just over half the TT version (eBay!).

Ya, I'm not interested in paying that price for this at all. Just posted it to contribute to the community. I'd rather have the Hasbro version. I like that he has a little 'tude with all his "tattoos" and such. Thanks for the tip Mega T!

Thirded. I only played with MP 03 so far so I would like to know how the MP11 mold feels. He might be better than he looks.

I'm not familiar with either, so what's up with the cockpit? Or do we just like saying cockpit?
