Oh god, yeah, those huge wings are just gonna be slapped onto his legs; but they could get tricky and give them articulated arms and connect them to the thigh plates

Diem don't give Takara any ideas or we'll end up with "toy accurate" versions of these guys at a later date just to milk the mold 3 more times!!! :BANG_HEAD:

The white face is right, but I don't know what's up with the black/dark gray parts clashing with the lighter gray parts. Should only be one shade of gray. I think the painted nosecone in vehicle mode at least creates the illusion (if you don't look between his legs) that it becomes Thrust's actual head in the figure, even though it's magically maroon in the cartoon in jet mode. Funny, that's a screen accuracy cheat they could have easily gotten away with if they wanted to.

That model sheet is digitally painted by fans incorrectly. The MP colour scheme is spot on.

Here's another look from the Marvel Transformers Universe comic.

Woof. I haven't even had my Ramjet shipped from TFsource yet... While I'm here, has anyone else got theirs yet?

Anyways. Looks awesome! Too bad about all the stuff on the legs.

This pleases me greatly. The contrast on the different grays is greatly increasd on the MP figure, but the color choices do make much more sense now. Thanks, Cyberpath!

Mine finally came back earlier this week. My package shipped out Tuesday. It was a loooong wait, but I'm happy to have a fixed sample for my collection. The QC'd MP Ramjets seem to be arriving at TFSource in waves, so I bet yours will arrive very soon. Good luck!

That face

The incorrectly fan-coloured model came from a Russian TF site. Decided to go ahead and paint one myself with a more accurate scheme --

He looks pretty great, but damn that kibble is gonna get in the way a lot. Honestly, even though this is cartoon accurate, it's FAR m0ore obnoxious than MP-03's hip-pods were.

Also, this mold must be in shambles by now with how often it's been reissued.

The wings on his legs aren't just cartoon-accurate, it's also where they were on the G1 toy, so it's toy-accurate as well:

Exactly! Between the toy accuracy and toon accuracy, I love the hip kibble. (#StillaGwunner)

*Sigh* Looks like this non-MP collector is going to get another one... Thrust was always my favorite Conehead, though something about the "Bell Bottoms" of Dirge and Thrust appeals to me too.

I'm diggin Thrust a lot more than Ramjet. The leg kibble is unfortunate but it doesn't matter to me since I wasn't going to get the figure anyway.

I've been studying these official images all morning, worried about those wings and posing the legs. And y'know, the MP Seeker legs were never that posable to begin with and I don't think he's any more hampered than Ramjet. So I'm feeling good.

Reservations now aside, I'm really loving him. The gruff look on his face, the colors, it's all great. Go figure though, the only two Seekers I had as a kid are the last to get the MP treatment :lol:

Dumb Question guys, but is it really leg kibble? Because it doesnt look like those big wings actually attach to the legs, they just hang off his back downward.

Sorry TT, but these MP's are coming too thick too fast! There goes me collecting all of 'em.

Yes, it is;

You can see here, it's hinged at the knee's

And you can see here, that there's nothing connecting it to the waist, so I'm afraid it is leg kibble

Twould be a switch from Prime Arcee's Conehead knees... :-s

Transformers Prime: First Edition Arcee Gallery

(Saberblade found a pic a couple of years ago someone had done with the actual Conehead faces... I couldn't find it, though...)

Yeah, the more I see of Thrust, the more I want him.... =P~
