Meanwhile, did you know that KO Thundercrackers sell for $50 and up on eBay? Sad but true. That has to be good enough reason to have a Generations Thundercracker.

I'm pretty sure mods could still technically lock this thread down. It would just end up unlocked, eventually. :KREMZEEK:

They should just do them all!!! That would solve everything and it would make their sells go sky high. So..Its a win win, for us and them.

No, sales would plummet because parents would see them all in different colours and go "You can only have one jet. Pick the colours you want"

Thundercracker, Sunstorm, Rainmakers, those like-colored guys from More Than Meets The Eye...if they make 'em, I'll buy 'em.

Now, if they started selling unassembled generic Seeker kits in white or light gray, I'd buy them by the case!

I never have done repaints, but if they did this, I'd certainly start. This would basically be a moneymaker.

But if not, then I'd love to have a Sunstorm.

sunstorm would be insane, but I NEED THUNDERCRACKER! I have universe starscream, acidstorm, generations thrust and dirge, and classics ramjet and skywarp! use your magic powers seibertron!

Do you know what you've just done!? I already bought Universe Inferno, Classic Starscream, Skywarp, AND Energon Bulkhead all in this month. Now I have to buy this, too!

All kidding aside, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I completely forgot to check Hasbro's site for any Classics/Universe one's I missed.

SN: And since I actually checked the site thanks to your link, I'll also be able to get my hands on Prowl and Smokescreen. Man do I regret missing out on Classics and Universe.

As much as I normally don't go for repaints, I've never EVER had a complete set of seekers in any form. I'm so close now, with only Dirge and Thundercracker missing out of the original six. As soon as I see Dirge in stores he's mine, a Thundercracker would make me very happy. Sunstorm would just be icing on top.

Oh heck yes. I'm so down for this, I'd pay the $70 it'd cost as a TFCC exclusive. But then again I'm insane.

I'm rooting for you guys on this one, especially for the Sunstorm/Thunderlilac/Lavenderwarp repaints. I asked a psychic*, and she said that Thundercracker would be coming out sometime in the next two years as a random US-only store exclusive two-packed with some awful repaint. Consequently, fans will continue to bitch about how they can't find it and Hasbro sucks and why isn't it a major release and why is it sold out of all the online stores and why isn't it by itself because that other repaint is teh suxx0rz.

Frankly, I have no idea why she would think something like that. Ludicrous.

*NOTE: not a real psychic

I have henkai TC... but damn, put me down for a Generations Thundercracker too! It's way overdue and should've been done in the original Classics line!

News Credits: 387 · Fri Oct 01, 2010 7:03 pm

I think it'd be interesting if the Seeker mold were used for Metal Hawk, cause right now I'm all over Masterforce.

News Credits: 11 · Sat Oct 02, 2010 12:55 pm

I would also...wait, I already have the Henkei one! lol, but it would be nice for those who don't, so I think they should make Generations Thundercracker.

So...how about Animated Voyager & Masterpiece Thundercrackers as well?

Sat Oct 02, 2010 1:27 pm

Im in. I want the Sunstorm. I have the Henkei Thundercracker but the QC on that fig is AWFUL. Mine had a loose left wing and I had to rig the null rays so they'd stay in the holes. So, A TC for all those who dont want to, or, can't afford the crappy Henkei or Botcon version would be nice. Hell, I'd pick one up. Oh, and I need a Sunstorm....did I mention that? lol.

WHAT is the TFCC FOR?

What is it for if they can't give us simple repaints of an existing mold?

HASBRO Seekers might not sell like Bumblebee and Prime to the kids, but they sell to THIS fanbase.

GIVE US our SUNSTORM and LIGHT PURPLE Seekers and give the people Generations Thundercracker!

Me personally, I would mix the GEN TCs with the purple seekers to make the MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE pt3 seeker army!

I know I am.

I'll be honest, I don't want any other seekers out of the mould and I'll tell you why.

It's a brick. Sure it has like 6 more points of articulation then G1 seekers, but it's still a brick. I tell ya what I would love to see, I'd love to see Thundercracker based on IDWs Ongoing. Now there's a mould where we could get a bazillion easy repaints / remoulds and no one would think twice about picking them up AND they could tool some better articulation and maybe arm cannons that actually fit the size of robot they go with.

Eff the Classics mould, give me, give THE FANS, what they want. A new Thundercracker and let it pave the way for many many many more repaints!

Also, finish of the Decepticon Triplechangers and give us a BAMF Blitzwing

A Generations Thundercracker would be great to see, not fussed about Sunstorm. A full seeker team would be a change instead of this excuse that it wouldn't sell, yet they went and still go overboard with movie repaints.
