Possible First Look at Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Thrust

It’s not actually a straight Starscream repaint - it has Blitzwing’s head sculpt and a new conehead hood thing behind his head.

I’m interested in seeing more pictures of this one, but overall I’m kinda meh - I like the Blitzwing head sculpt, but the conehead hood just seems a little weird with where it sits.

Good to know. I had zero interest in Starscream, so I paid no attention to that figure.

This figure appears to be a straight repaint of Starscream, with his color scheme of greens and white homaging Armada Thrust, rather than the maroon and black of G1 Thrust.

The green isn't as rich as it was in the movie.

I wish it was the Blitzwing mold, but the tetrajet might be fine. I'll need to see what the vehicle mode looks like before I decide whether or not to pick him up, but so far it looks promising

I'm glad it's not, that itzwing mold was deeply flawed. Still now, I never feel like handling it with how it does not hold together well.

SS Blitzwing made me ANGRY. I just can't understand the praise of that figure because as you say, the quality is horrendous.

The one I should have hated, that weird SS Bee Starscream, I was pleasantly surprised by. Also, solid overall.

SS Blitzwang as I call him, was fun out of the box, but over timed I soured on him somewhat. It does have good qualities but for me it gets weighed down by the junk. The Bmovie Starscream is an absolute knock out and surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. So if anybody out there is in the fence about, I'd recommend giving the mold a try if you where unhappy with Blitzwang OR just want to check out a really cool transformation and figure

Both molds were pretty solid to me, but I’d only want the other seekers in the BB Starscream mold, mainly for that tetrajet alt mode. I actually adore everything about it and would love an army of seekers with that flight form. Whereas I’d die inside to see virtually any other repaint of Blitzwing’s awful jet mode. I’m mainly just impressed that hasbro gave us two nearly identical looking robot modes with completely different transformations, molds and al modes. For the first time in a while im Looking forward to some seeker repaints.

I don't see how this is Thrust, but whatever. In a soft reboot which is supposed to have characters closer in appearance to the Original Transformers, one would think this would be Acid Storm. Just another name slap unfortunately.

As it has been stated countless times above, This is supposed to be a callback to Armada Thrust who was green and grey. Not everything has to reference back to G1. If you want him to be called Acid Storm in your collection, go right ahead.

Why would they homage Armada Thrust in a film that homages the original Transformers? TRUE not everything has to be about The Transformers, but it was obvious where the BB movie was taking its designs from, and it wasn't Armada.

I'm really not upset, just pointing out a lack of logic/consistency. They can call him Sunstorm for all I care, it's just odd is all. Also good to know how high you can count since ONE person stated it was based on Armada Thrust, and one other person quoted it.

Probably because they didn't want to have three red Seeker jets in the movie (the other two being Starscream and Blitzwing), and Armada Thrust is the better Thrust.

G1 Thrust is a nobody. The main reason people ever want his toys is because he's part of a Seeker trio that they want to see complete. I couldn't tell you a thing about his personality if you paid me, and I'm me!

Armada Thrust, meanwhile, is a crafty tactician who starts off cool and collected but becomes more deranged and loony over time as he further descends into madness before finally swearing allegiance to Unicron after weighing the inevitability of Unicron being the winning side of the war (which proves to be a mistake on his part as no one on Unicron's side ever saw the power of love and friendship overcoming the power of an eldritch dark god, but such is the nature of a children's anime series).

Also, the English dub is not the end-all be-all version of Armada.

Nothing but FACTS!

Armada Thrust is very memorable in own series.

Twitter user @morgan_dfx has posted more images of the upcoming Studio Series Thrust. This figure is accurate to how Thrust appeared in the Bumblebee movie thanks to some remolding from the Starscream mold. The colours appear to be an homage to Armada thrust, rather than the maroon and black of G1 Thrust. The images below show him in alt mode and also shows him with his wingtips pointed down in robot mode which is accurate to this cg model.
















It still hasn't been revealed what figure is coming in the wave with Wreck Gar, though this figure seems a good bet.

What do you think about this figure being potentially released? Let us know what you think below!

Thrust definitely looks better in the new pics, I gotta say it's growing on me.

Gotta say, that Thrust is damn sweet!

Your opinion, but ok. I'm the opposite, I can tell you way more about Thrust than Armada Thrust.

Of all people, I appreciate, that you appreciate the Micron Legends version, because yes it does make the series a bit more tolerable. But let's be honest, most UT fans haven't bothered to seek it out. In fact, that entire series could benefit from a redub to fix dialogue errors, (and to present the animation corrections completed later for the Japanese version) and finally to recast at least some of the characters' voices, that might make it slightly better in english at least.
