Nice.. I cam get him for my primary TF gen setup, and put my Botcon one in his box on display.

As much as i want a g1 thundercracker (and this figure does look really good) i cant convince myself to buy this mold again, maybe if there was some remolding or some new guns or something i could condone it but not another flat out repaint.

Same here, all three BotCon seekers will now be safely back in their box.

The insignia is facing the wrong way...I hate that. I think this will become my blue Rainmaker.

This will do nicely.

I hear ya. It's been a looooong time coming for this release and it's been SO long, that this mold may have lost some steam for some collectors. Or have done the exact opposite and made you frothing at the mouth in anticipation.

For me it's more of a 'sigh....FINALLY' kinda of reaction more than it is being pumped about it.

I have to absolutely buy him though and i'll prolly get more excited the closer to release time.
He does look awesome though and he is my favourite seeker. Who am i kidding.......i'm stoked.

Looks nice, I like it! Only thing that could be better is the chest fans could be black instead. Otherwise, great. I already have the Henkei one, but I'm getting this one in a case anyway.

I have him and Wheeljack on preorder at bbts

News Credits: 1 · by **ImAWalkingCorpse** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:45 pm

I like that one quite a bit.

by **WeatherManNX01** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:48 pm

I think I'm in love with it. Can't wait to be able to add him to the rest of the Seekers.

by **OptiMagnus** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:55 pm

Can't wait get him. Now we just need reissues of classics Starscream, Skywarp, and Ramjet and I have all the "main" seekers.

I like this guy lot. I wish his chest fans/wheels could have been painted a different color but that is a minor complaint. Now my custom TC can be a generic seeker.

by **Badassimus Prime** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:55 pm

Hey not bad! Although, there's quite a bit of red on the figure, at least for my taste. Either way, I'll be picking him up.

by **Owtkazt** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:57 pm

Oh yeah!, my seeker collection will finally be complete!!! Figure looks damn good. This seeker mold is timeless.

News Credits: 1 · by **T-Macksimus** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:05 pm

I must admit to being slightly underwhelmed but I've gone through too much getting the last couple of jets to not complete the whole six-pack. This one is definitely "bought-on-sight" for me.

Looks fine to me, can't wait to add him to the collection. Hope Hasbro produces plenty cause not only is he one of the most Popular seekers, he's also the last one many people need, myself included. I do anticipate him being slightly difficult to find so I'll have to get my hunt on early.

It's only 12 bucks...treat yourself

After Hasbro gave in to the fans requests, Im gonna buy 2 of em just to support the NEW Hasbro staff bringing us all this great G1 stuff. One for display, one to stay in the card. And I got the Henkei. Im so glad they told whoever made that Botcon 2007 exclusive promise that it was poor business tatics.

by **Mechastrike** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:29 pm

i just got to have this. looks great next to my Classics Skywarp.

by **Andrius** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:51 pm

It will be nice to finally complete the set.

...Now can we PLEASE retire this mold? As nice an update as it was to the original G1 likeness, it looks so pitiful next to Cyclonus, classics Mirage, and my boy, Terradive. We get a new mold of Michael Bay Bumblebee every 3 weeks, how about seeing a newer rendition of G1 Starscream next year? I'll gladly buy the six Seekers over again if we can have a version with some better articulation and more Generations-y complexity.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!! I PAID A PREMIUM FOR EXCLUSIVITY!!!!!!!! I DEMAND A REBATE FROM HASBRO AND THE CLUB!!!!!! WHO STANDS WITH ME IN RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION??????

Anybody?
…
…

Seeing as all three of my Con seekers suffer from wobbly leg syndrome I'll be picking him up. Anybody else notice that he's the same dark blue like Dirge?

News Credits: 2 · by **whacko** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:58 pm

Lets hope he is manufactured better than Dirge. I recently picked up Dirge at a local Walmart and I swear that if it hadn't been in Hasbro packaging I woulda sworn that Walmart was selling KO transformers. Bad paint application, mold defects, loose fitting parts... absolutely horrible.
