I searched a bit and didn't find this asked before, so I thought it was worth asking.
Given that Hasbro's release of Masterpiece Skywarp seemed to be ushered quickly to the clearance shelves (at least in the US from what I understand... here in Canada I only ever saw two) do you think Hasbro will ever release MP Thundercracker Stateside? If so, how likely do you think it will be for Walmart to exclusively carry it (as they did with Starscream and Skywarp)? I have two friends who are Thundercracker fanboys but are too 'frugal' to purchase Takara ones.
Thanks for your opinions!

It's hard to say, I would guess probably not. Thundercracker doesn't seem to get any love from Hasbro these days. Although if wal-mart were to request it, I am sure Hasbro would do it.

I'd love to see it, but I don't know if they would. I can wait, instead of overpaying for wrong-boobed Takara 'Cracker.

Well, if not Wal-mart, than maybe other store. I know we're getting MP Rodimus, but without the Trailer (We're getting the Targetmaster gun instead).

Heh. Well, it's kind of one of those things that once you see, you can't unsee:
It's a little hard to tell from this pic due to perspective, but notice how the chest fan pieces on Thundercracker 'taper' outwards instead of inwards towards the cockpit like on Skywarp? Every single one was actually assembled backwards at the factory.

I don't think Thundercracker sold that well here in Japan either.

If they do, they better fix those titties...

I rather like Hasbro's flat black paintscheme for Skywarp...
Was the Takara release of the "US Edition" Starscream glossy as well?
