Thundercracker from which line?

by **publicvisage** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 6:50 am

Assuming you're talking about the Classics line, Thundercracker was released as a BotCon exclusive along with Dirge and Thrust and will NOT be available in retail.

Never. Unless you get the Botcon version. Otherwise, yeah never.

by **Skywarp83** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 6:58 am

Thats right, Its a BotCon exclusive. That sucks. I will never be able to find one now. I guess i will have to buy some model paint and a starcsream and paint him blue.

Well, that depends, do you have about 200 to spare? If so, the Botcon version is imo, the best seeker of the Classics line.

First off IMO Skywarp is the best seeker from the classic line. And im not going to spend 200 bucks on thundercracker even thow it looks very good. I like Skywarp anyway, His figure was a target exclusive. Why cant thundercracker be? But i did want to add thundercracker to the seekers. Oh well.

Hmm, heres a solution.

On Craigslist, there is a guy selling a loose set for 500. If you buy that, take out TC, and sell the rest on ebay, you might end up breaking even?

Why not host them on photobucket and post them either here or in the kitbash forum? Share the wealth man! It's always nice to see people's customs.

If you guys have any questions just ask!!!

by 009* » Sun Jul 15, 2007 3:14 pm

I wonder if Takara will use the Classic figures at some point? Knowing them, they'd at least give us the Seeker A-Team, not to mention the other figures with new paint jobs with chrome apps and none of that safety color nonsense.

Oh well, at least Takara will put out the Masterpiece Thundercracker at some point, and then I'll have all three, and with a much better bang for my buck!

I like the shade of blue you used on TC. What colour is that?
It makes me think of periwinkle, but more subdued.
I really like the Dirge, but Sunstorm has gotta be my fave. I love the way the character looks.

Spiffing work matey

Cool, the full Cybertronian seeker threesome. These I like man. Ever considered doing those with the Titanium seeker mould? They'd fit really well.

If your asking about the classic's Thundercracker I used
"Folk Art #670 Metallic Blue Pearl" acrylic paint but I had to thin it with water cause its too thick.
I tryed to make Dirge look like the bot con excluvie but some of the paint app's were pretty hard to copy.
With Sunstorm I had it pretty hard because since he's a clone of Starscream I wanted to keep the same paint skeem but change Grey to yellow Blue to white and Red for orange!!!
