I think Breakdown is my favorite though. I want that figure.
Yes they are. The mold got/is getting almost as much use as a Seeker mold normally does.
I remember that happening with Beast Machines deluxe-class Jetstorm. It never got retooled (where with this guy there always seems to be some variation to the mold), but there were as many repaints to Jetstorm as there were to the Sun/Swipe mold.

It's awesome, don't get me wrong but, I did spend the money for the japan versions of Thrust, Dirge, and most recently Red Alert. I wouldn't have if I had known but, no one seems to know a year or more in advance what Hasbro's going to do!! Maybe in the next year and a half, those of us who can't afford the japan Unicron, such as myself, maybe Hasbro will see to that. I know lots of you save up like I do to try and get these exclusives. Then WHAM a huge slap in the face!!! I love supporting the home team rather than paying these huge mark ups for oversea figures. Not only am i going for a nice complete collection but, a collection with a little value ya know. OH WELL. That's how it goes though everything is a gamble.

Yeah. I know. Quoting the same post twice. I got thinking about it though; is it just me, or is Generations Thrust actually a repaint of Henkei Thrust? When I look at the newer one, I'm pretty sure the deco on the wings is different, and the red is more metallic looking. Maybe it's just me, though. That's what I get for thinking...
