The Energon Pub

Our friend kotoys has just posted a new gallery of upcoming Generations Thunderwing. Thunderwing is part of the Generations Wave 5 figures.
Thunderwing had a prominent role in Marvel's Transformers comic book as a Decepticon warlord and also several appearances in the U.K comics which predate his appearance in U.S., showing how Thunderwing rose from being a young, promising warlord to leader of the Decepticons.

SOLD!!!

It doesn't look as bad as it did in the other shots. I think I will change my mind and get one, he was a favorite of mine in the comics. I just hope that back kibble in robot mode can be taken off easily. He will be displayed in robot mode only, just as Straxus (or Darkmount ) so I won't need that stuff on his back.

You know, with a few minor paint changes, I can see this figure as Energon Megatron or Galvatron. All in all, I like it. I'll never see it here, but I like it. We're still on Wave 1 of the Generations figures and HFTD figures...three waves behind the rest of the country.

So considering that Thrust is slightly smaller than Generations/Henkei Thrust it's still big enough to be a deluxe right? His bot mode kinda and I do stress KINDA reminds me of energon Megatron. All in all he's pretty damn cool 'nuff said!

Well... despite how underwhelming he looks (mainly due to the class size, should be voyager at least) I think I will get him cos I love the Marvel comics incarnation of him. Wish he had an accurate Geoff Senior-style evil snarly face though. Nobody draws mean looking Decepticons like Senior did. Always did want a physical representation of the character and this is a lot more affordable (and posable) than the old G1 toy which gets crazy prices these days.

Looks like a great mold and I'll definitely be picking him up.

A bit like Jazz though, the white/grey bits just seem like they're lacking something, I think a wash with a slightly darker colour should help.

kinda reminds me of a voyager class energon megatron.

I am only collecting G1 toys but this is a must for me to get. He looks awesome.

Definite buy.

I loved his Marvel incarnation. Such a pity IDW ruined him with the hollow, soulless Stormbringer.

Great toy though.

Would love to get the Hotshot/Springer/Roadbuster mold repainted as Ruckus to go with him.

This guy is looking a lot better than I first thought. His head sculpt looks really good. I wish we would have gotten pictures of the drone.

I'm really loving this figure. The jet mode looks really good, and I like the colours and styling of the robot mode.

Fan-didly-tastic

his upper body (torso) looks out of proportion to the rest, i shall call him fat thunderwing

I think he looks really cool. The initial images of him didn't look that good, but these make him look pretty awesome. Looking forward to getting him.

He looks really plastic-y. Maybe it's just that off-white plastic... He still looks cool, though. I'll get him.

Awesome amounts of win. I think the only way we can get something better than this as a Thunderwing would be if FP did one(Pretender Style) so that he could have the upgraded appearance he had in Stormbringer, but hey this is pretty damned close.

Not until Hasbro releases a Classics Bludgeon. And no, the Movie one won't do. Although... O what the hell. Thirded.

Yeah, look good doesnt it. Alt mode colour is a bit bland but bot mode makes up for it.

I agree with that too. The voyager is a good figure but does not fill the classic's spot for Bludgeon. I If Hasbro does release a Bludgeon figure in the Generation's line, I'd like to use HeadRobot's Blood IDW style head for him

eh...i still dont see it. I loved the pretender growing up, but this one just looks cheap. The way the alt mode folds up just reminds me of Universe Silverbolt Im a robot on the bottom of a plane syndrome. I will definitely need to see a gallery and a video review of the transformation before im sold on this guy.

I feel the same. I'll pick him up though, even though he's a little more organic than I normally go for, and I was unsure about the forest green coloring on the legs. I still like him, especially the way the wings fold out in bot mode.

His transformation looks really simple, like I wouldn't think it's much more than 'lie down.'
