The guns connect to each other using tabs. Check it!

One more shot of Thunderwing double-fisting his guns. Wait... did I say that right?

That looks far cooler than him holding a blaster in each hand

I think I still prefer hiding the guns behind his wings for the time being.

I found this when I was looking for an extra feature for the drone. This was a cool find, though. It'll do (:

Yep. Open the front landing gear, grasp the front canard firmly, and pull, and the drone comes out.

That helps, as I was kinda underwhelmed by T-wing.

Got mine from HTS today! Yey!

Thunderwing? More like Brokenwing. Amiright?

Mine was OK; what's wrong with yours?

Tailfin shattered when I moved it, cracked like a cracker.

Oh yeah thanks, shortly after I found a pic on TFwiki, cool feature.

:-( Mine were stiff, but once I got them moving once, they seem fine. Just wait for one from Wal-Mart and swap it out. Mine has them if you need one.

similarly mixed feelings about him here, too.. nice bot mode, but file under robot-under-a-plane :BANG_HEAD:

Did you at least flip up the chest piece to cover his head? It isn't like that in the package oddly enough, but it helps out a ton, so the only real obvious bot parts are the arms.

I'm not a fan of his shoulder gun things, they get in the way of putting him into any good poses.

yeah i found that easily enough... still, his entire torso is completely exposed under the plane, along with his arms & hands... conversely, highbrow nearly completely conceals all his roboticness when in plane mode, they way it ought to be (granted, he's voyager-class, & has more material to work with)...

don't get me wrong, though, thunderwing is a slick bot, which is how he'll be displayed on the shelf :)

To me, it looks like it pays homage to his comic book weapon. It's also one of the reasons I think we'll get a Needlenose repaint somewhere in the future. (besides Black Shadow)
