We've received the heads up that there is currently an auction for a Transformers Revenge of The Fallen deluxe class Thrust on ebay. Yes this figure is not a repaint of the Movie 1 Voyager class Starscream mold like the rest of the G1 colored seeker homages but of deluxe class ROTF Breakaway.

See the auction by clicking here.

Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all your Transformers related news!

Wow, I'm definitely getting this guy! The main thing I didn't like about Breakaway was the colors, I can definitely deal with this scheme. It wont make me start collecting coneheads, but who says I've gotta get them all?

I think ill be getting this one. The molds not to bad with some slight mods & these colors are a much needed improvement.

Freaking win.

News Credits: 767 · Wed Jun 24, 2009 2:59 am

I knew that this mold would be getting better colours and yes thsi is the version I'll be getting.
Just sucks for those that wanted a complete Seeker set that Thrust isn't same size as the rest of em.

I getting this one insteadt of the die-cast universe 25th.

Mind you this is different packaging compared to the first 3 waves. Looks like this movie's repaint line will be some sort of 'Red' focus. Swerve... Dead End... now this Thrust is Red too!

I thought they were making a new mold for Thrust. Or am I thinking of Dirge?

News Credits: 905 · Wed Jun 24, 2009 3:47 am

Better colour scheme, but i still dont like the robot mode.... #-o

That was Dirge and if I remember correctly he too is a deluxe.

Is it just me or does the face on the package look like a different head sculpt?

News Credits: 2 · Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:06 am

That is a different head scupl! ive zoomed in several times and its different...really different and ill be picking him up for sure... about time hasbro did something about the repaints, instead of painting them different colors, new head scupls is a nice touch...

I only own a couple Transformers myself, I just put them up in my cube at work as decoration (they're a nice stress relief when I'm on deadline too). I think I'm gonna pick up Thrust. I don't have a jet yet, and he looks totally awesome.

Breakaway doesn't have much kibble in jet mode, and his robot mode is pretty sweet. The only things I don't like about it are the color scheme and the big, round, googly eyes. Thrust fixes both of these problems, plus he's a decepticon, which is always a plus for me.

well it certainly sounds as if this Thrust is going to be a fan fav... nice touch with the different head sculpt..don't know if that is a fluke or if hasbro management has decided new noggins are a good fan and customer relations idea... it will remain to be seen if they carry on with this approach in other repaints in the future..

It sure would be nice to keep getting new head sculpts for repaints All the time, Hasbro...

Just one word: MINE! :twisted:

Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:46 am

I am probably gonna get this one. The colors are better, and I like the head a lot more.

I wonder if Dirge is following up. :-?

News Credits: 129 · Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:23 am

These guys show up en masse in the Deep 6 mission of the RotF game.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:40 am

New colours, cool - I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth but this is the one time I wish Hasbro hadn't used a new headsculpt... I liked Breakaway's D'awww expression.

Still, I'll probably pick up this and the new Dirge mold.

News Credits: 12 · Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:51 am

Sweeeet! I love this mold, and I was hoping there would be some repaints of it! That's a must-buy for me.

Wed Jun 24, 2009 8:07 am

This one's a pass for me, I don't think its a good choice of robot mode for one of the individuals of the secondary seekers group.

And I guess I'm the only one that digs Breakaway in both bot mode and color.

Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:26 am

It looks like thrust has a new headsculpt ;)^

No, you're not. I love his plane mode, his bot mode, AND his color scheme and paint job. It's my favorite ROTF figure so far.

Seconded. Breakaways' colors just aren't very good. Thrust here seems to have corrected that issue.

this looks cool i've got to say that.I'm not much of a collector but i was planning on getting a rotf toy of someone that was in the film.CAN ANYONE RECCOMEND ?

Also on a sidenote when will the legends devastator be out?

Wed Jun 24, 2009 3:17 pm

Looks nice. I will get him, but I would rather have gotten a voyager Statscream repaint in red and a dirge repaint also to go with the recently released walmart Ramjet and Skywarp. Im tired of incomplete seeker sets sold in retail.
