Makes me also wonder if they received a crate of Megatrons instead of the expected combiner limbs.

Initially I placed the order for the first ship out 3/27 batch. Then a week later I cancelled it. In favor of getting the Second ship out 4/27 batch. Cancelled the first order because I forgot to enter the Family2015 20% off savings coded. Applied the code on the second order and got 20% off my order.

Another HTS story. Saw Generations Leader class Megatron on the HTS site. Put the item in my cart and entered the check out process. While I was in check out. The item sold out before I could hit the final place order button. Had the chance to get this toy for around $38 after taxes and with free shipping? :-(

Yeah, buying through the HTS site is a lot like playing Whack-a-mole....

What idea did Dreamwave have?

I believe he's referring to Dreamwave being the first continuity to show Ultra Magnus as a white Optimus Prime inside armor.

Hes so much more than the standard redeco...plenty of new parts to differentiate him from Jetfire. Hrs beautiful, and my shelf needs him. Will be on the lookout for this one for sure, as well as Leader Magnus. I'm really digging the leader class, close to the Masterpiece in size, only missing the articulation (and store exclusivity) and half the price.

Please Hasbro/Takara, more leaders please.

Someone find a tiny dog to put in his cockpit.

The best toy of the best version of the Thundercracker character ever.

Again, HO Scale figures. Go into a Hobbytown USA and ask for the Woodland Scenics stuff. Or, Ebay is your friend

Oh yeahhhhhh... I see it. And the overlapping plates on his obliques look "featherlike."

Well since Starscream is likely to pick this body for his next upgrade, I think we'll be seeing a toy of that soon.

I know most fans are sick of Sunstorm repaints, but if this were to be repainted DW-accurate yellow, I'd get it in a heartbeat. And yes, very sexy jet mode.

I think I am going to wait for the Starscream recolor, but damn Thundercracker looks great. Would totally get him a Buster to put in the cockpit. If no Starscream announcement soon, definitely getting this.

I don't care what the colors are, I would by this (hypothetical) Sunstorm before you could say "a redeco of Thundercracker!!!!

Works so much better as Thundercracker than Jetfire.

Wish the Thundercracker faux Nose cone and jet thrusters on the robot chest were on the Jetfire toy also. As I think he would have looked better and more like the 1985 Jetfire toy. Less like cartoon Skyfire.
