As it has been stated countless times above, This is supposed to be a callback to Armada Thrust who was green and grey. Not everything has to reference back to G1. If you want him to be called Acid Storm in your collection, go right ahead.

Why would they homage Armada Thrust in a film that homages the original Transformers? TRUE not everything has to be about The Transformers, but it was obvious where the BB movie was taking its designs from, and it wasn't Armada.

I'm really not upset, just pointing out a lack of logic/consistency. They can call him Sunstorm for all I care, it's just odd is all. Also good to know how high you can count since ONE person stated it was based on Armada Thrust, and one other person quoted it.

Probably because they didn't want to have three red Seeker jets in the movie (the other two being Starscream and Blitzwing), and Armada Thrust is the better Thrust.

G1 Thrust is a nobody. The main reason people ever want his toys is because he's part of a Seeker trio that they want to see complete. I couldn't tell you a thing about his personality if you paid me, and I'm me!

Armada Thrust, meanwhile, is a crafty tactician who starts off cool and collected but becomes more deranged and loony over time as he further descends into madness before finally swearing allegiance to Unicron after weighing the inevitability of Unicron being the winning side of the war (which proves to be a mistake on his part as no one on Unicron's side ever saw the power of love and friendship overcoming the power of an eldritch dark god, but such is the nature of a children's anime series).

Also, the English dub is not the end-all be-all version of Armada.

Nothing but FACTS!

Armada Thrust is very memorable in own series.

Twitter user @morgan_dfx has posted more images of the upcoming Studio Series Thrust. This figure is accurate to how Thrust appeared in the Bumblebee movie thanks to some remolding from the Starscream mold. The colours appear to be an homage to Armada thrust, rather than the maroon and black of G1 Thrust. The images below show him in alt mode and also shows him with his wingtips pointed down in robot mode which is accurate to this cg model.
















It still hasn't been revealed what figure is coming in the wave with Wreck Gar, though this figure seems a good bet.

What do you think about this figure being potentially released? Let us know what you think below!

Thrust definitely looks better in the new pics, I gotta say it's growing on me.

Gotta say, that Thrust is damn sweet!

Your opinion, but ok. I'm the opposite, I can tell you way more about Thrust than Armada Thrust.

Sabrblade wrote:Also, the English dub is not the end-all be-all version of Armada.

Of all people, I appreciate, that you appreciate the Micron Legends version, because yes it does make the series a bit more tolerable. But let's be honest, most UT fans haven't bothered to seek it out. In fact, that entire series could benefit from a redub to fix dialogue errors, (and to present the animation corrections completed later for the Japanese version) and finally to recast at least some of the characters' voices, that might make it slightly better in english at least.

I was about to question why those colours, until I saw it paired to the Armada version of the character. Still, I'm pretty attached to the original Conehead so, should I ever buy something like that, I'll probably come up with an original name... something like "Mint Storm"?

This ended up being one of my favorite alt modes so I'm buying every one they release. The robot mode is really cool but it's the jet mode that really shines here.

I'll probably get 2 of these because adding more green & making Acid Storm is just too easy.

For my meaningless two cents, the Armada version of Thrust is the only one of the two that I could tell someone anything about, and I've watched all of the G1 cartoon and none of Armada.

Here's my next custom: Hightower!




I will be taking a short hiatus from these projects because I got accepted to Medical school! I will be bringing my paint stuff and a couple bots with me, but it'll take a while to pack and get set up there. Projects will be slower going forwards, but I will definitely keep at it!

Excelent paintjob, as always. Love the little details you pick up in paint, that's the essence of the Movie designs for me.

And congratulations on getting accepted to medical school!

I purchased a Studio Series Cybertonian Bumblebee figure. I needed it to do a stop motion movie.

Be careful with the chest plate. On Cliffjumper, it's all painted clear plastics and those are on a TIGHT joint. It may be the same thing for that Bee.

I'm going to change it to car mode and Netflix 'Bee is going to convert into it. (I'm serious, though.)

Fantastic work as always also congrats on getting into medical school!

Welp, since ROTF Soundwave was $10 yesterday ($8 today ) and I need more Cons for my Bayverse shelf, I decided to pick him up. He should be here Sunday and I'm kind of happy I'll have the figure. I know he's not exactly the best, but I like what I've seen of him so far.

Plus the savings of getting a Deluxe class for half price helped me justify spending $22 on TR Fangry to myself

Just wondering, does Target go by the long product code on their receipt or a shorter one? Because if it's the shorter one shared by all studio series toys, there could be some fun to be had with this half priced deluxe.

ROTF Soundwave is actually pretty good, the flight stand opens a lot of fun opportunities for poses.

With Grindor being found at toy stores in Australia, I wonder how much longer it will be until they show up in the states/rest of the world? Hopefully Jolt and the rest of the deluxes show up at retail soon too since Hasbro doesn't seem to care about revealing them.
