The guns connect to each other using tabs. Check it!

That looks rather cool.

One more shot of Thunderwing double-fisting his guns. Wait... did I say that right?

That looks far cooler than him holding a blaster in each hand

I think I still prefer hiding the guns behind his wings for the time being.

I found this when I was looking for an extra feature for the drone. This was a cool find, though. It'll do (:

That's pretty cool...wait, he has a drone?

Yep. Open the front landing gear, grasp the front canard firmly, and pull, and the drone comes out.

That helps, as I was kinda underwhelmed by T-wing.

Nice. I can't wait for my order coming.

by **Optimum Supreme** » Wed Dec 08, 2010 1:33 pm

Cool. Now I just need to find one in stores!

Got mine from HTS today! Yey!

...

and he's broken right out of the package.

Thunderwing? More like Brokenwing. Amiright?

Mine was OK; what's wrong with yours?

Tailfin shattered when I moved it, cracked like a cracker.

Oh yeah thanks, shortly after I found a pic on TFwiki, cool feature.

Mine were stiff, but once I got them moving once, they seem fine. Just wait for one from Wal-Mart and swap it out. Mine has them if you need one.

Did you at least flip up the chest piece to cover his head? It isn't like that in the package oddly enough, but it helps out a ton, so the only real obvious bot parts are the arms.

I'm not a fan of his shoulder gun things, they get in the way of putting him into any good poses.

yeah i found that easily enough... still, his entire torso is completely exposed under the plane, along with his arms & hands... conversely, highbrow nearly completely conceals all his roboticness when in plane mode, they way it ought to be (granted, he's voyager-class, & has more material to work with)...

don't get me wrong, though, thunderwing is a slick bot, which is how he'll be displayed on the shelf

To me, it looks like it pays homage to his comic book weapon. It's also one of the reasons I think we'll get a Needlenose repaint somewhere in the future. (besides Black Shadow)
