BBTS: Generations Wheeljack and Thundercracker pre-orders!

gaaahhhh yet again more news i sent in just a bit ago...ah well idc! im just so excited to finally have a REAL TC without paying the henkei price or the KO henkei price...now i just need to get my hands on a classics skywarp and my seekers will be finished!

This is really awesome. Now all we need is a masterpiece thundercracker release from hasbro and all will be one.

No need to feel sorry for us, we've had a complete set of Seekers for over three years now. Glad everyong else is going to able to a have a complete set.

I have the two pack, but still wouldn't mind Hasbro doing a more accurate Skywarp. The first one was on par with the first Starscream...in other words, it could easily be improved upon (like, say, the Henkei version.)

Hellz yes, if this is seriously the long awaited classics mold Thundercracker we've all wanted (barring those who got the Botcon set and/or Henkei version, though I'd imagine even some of them are excited) then I will be all over this. I still need to get Dirge as well, to have all six... but as soon as I actually see one he's all mine too...

Gotta cancel United Wheeljack!! I think I'll repaint my KO Henkei Thundercracker into the generic seeker from G1. OMFG THAT SHOULD BE THE BOTCON ARMY BUILDER THIS YEAR*!!

If the mold is still in good shape I would love more Rainmakers and Sunstorm. Man am I off topic or what? Preordered both, 5 TCs, 2 WJs.


*Caps for clarity.

So now we wait for Skywarp for the circle to be complete yes? I think it is inevitable at this point that we will soon see it considering those that missed out on Henkei or the Hasbro 2 pack with Ultra Magnus. Has anyone out there picked up the so called KO Sunstorm? Is it available only in certain regions at this time? It's all so inconceivable with all the versions there are to date.

What a pisser it would be if somewhere down the road Hasbro/Takara decided to release Sunstorm after all those who chose to get the KO. I'm still hoping for the best!!

It will be nice to finally have Thundercracker.

3 Seekers (almost there)

3 Coneheads (check)

3 Rainmakers??? (Acid Storm is looking lonely)

I've often wondered about this. Certainly, you've got to think the mold is on the way out. On the other hand, it seems like there's a pretty strong demand, at least from collectors, for more Seekers. I should think that there are enough Seeker repaints left to recast the mold entirely and start from scratch. Skywarp, Sunstorm, Rainmakers...?

Regardless, I'm happy that we'll at least have the major characters (plus Acid Storm). Anything from this point on is frosting on the cake.

I agree with El Duque... I've had all the Henkei Seekers, plus Botcon Dirge & Thrust, still picked up Generations Thrust & Dirge, & look forward to seeing how Generations TC will be slightly different / redeco-ed. It's great having tons of seekers! And like El Duque, I'm glad others can finally enjoy an officially-released TC, & near completing their Seekers air force.
