TFSource has just opened the pre-order page for Takara Transformers Alternity Thundercracker.
This is a blue repaint of Alternity Skywarp, and the toy is estimated to be released in late October.



Head over to TFSource to pre-order this to complete you Alternity seekers: http://www.tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/1530/

The Orochi looks AWESOME in blue! You know, I may just grab all three of these guys. I like the way the Seeker Cars look in robot or vehicle modes.

Seeing this just makes me wish they had done Skywarp in black all the more...

I'm beyond ecstatic that this isn't an exclusive like I thought it would be. However, I doubt I'll order it from TFSource seeing as how they STILL haven't even shipped Skywarp and Starscream...

Holy cats!!! I am in LOVE!

I MUST have that! The Thundercracker fangirl in me just had a FIT! All I gotta see is bigger pics, especially the face!

The Orochi looks absolutely STUNNING in that cobalt blue!

Nice!

Light blue stripes though? Hmm. Well, I'll definitely consider this, especially since I'll probably be getting Skywarp.

Still waiting for my loot to be shipped from BBTS, too. I thought they'd get it out today, but no email thus far.

Already got the other two, might as well complete the trio.

Ok, who didn't see that one coming? *looks for hands*. *no hands*. Oh, ok. Please give it Skywarps head and not Starscream's.

I realize the figure is real, but these are not the final images, you can tell they are shopped cause the reflection is still purple...

Lots of happy people now! And some others who now realise they have to spend $90something on three tiny packages...

This is to awesome best thunder cracker caolors and mold since masterpiece

I wonder if there will be a Cybertron Scourge homage from this mold... Every time I look at them, the things that are supposed to be the seekers intakes remind me of his triple-headed gimmick in robot mode.

For once Thundercracker isn't just bought to complete the seekers, he's actually one of the sort after ones, as skywarp in black is always a fav and of cpurse starscream due to character.

It definitely has the Skywarp head and not Screamer's you can tell by the vent designs on the side of the head. I am seriously considering getting this guy & Skywarp. I already have Screamer on the way, I never bothered to pick up Bumble because I had Cliff and Cliff is just waaaay better. But this go round TT may just get me to repurchase the same mold.

Even though that the vehicle mode looks relatively the same I'm glad they put different heads on them to make them more distinguished. Its kinda funny because thundercracker looks more pretty then starscream or skywarp. lol

Th...that's the same head as Skywarp. And this image does appear to be a digibash rather than a finalised image.

Yay! No sarcasm. YAY!

I don't see why Thundercracker is always getting the short end of the stick in redecos?

I hope they give him a new head, and maybe a slightly different color layout. I'd like to see his proper stripe color on there, and the head in black.

...I like how the Orochi was repainted before the Suzuki (which probably didn't sell well). Wouldn't doubt if they continue the seekers in the near future..

Well that, and Thundercracker was a no-brainer. Judging by the Japanese forum reactions to the mysterious Henkei Glyph that was floating around a while back the likes of Glyph and Tap-out are too nerdy even for Japanese fans.

A Goldbug might've been nice though.

I'm personally still praying for a Bugbite repaint. I think that mold would look great in white with purple accents.
