I dont see a $60.00 Takara repaint. I see a lame $20.00 repaint on par with sharkticon megatron. Just not homaging an important enough character to be worthy of takara prices. But for 20 I would pop on it just for fun.

Cool idea, especially as an Animated homage.
don't know if i will spring the 46 for it but if its on sale down the line, it may happen.

Looks awesome in bot mode, but nothing can save that beast mode. That would probably make for a sweet custom roadbuster head.

Eager to see what kind of bio Hydra's got planned for this bad boy.

I think Hydra left e-Hobby last summer shortly after BotCon.

Really? Really? After all the flack you gave people over those minicons? Really?
The only thing I don't care for is the green on his chest.

I do like the robot mode, quite a bit actually. The silver on the head of Dino mode is hideous though.

Just in from Takara Tomy's Transformers website we have even better images of the recently revealed Voyager Fire Blast Grimlock and Deluxe Thundercracker! Both will be Japanese retailer exclusives. Enjoy the high quality official images below.

Both figures look really nice. The paint decos are sharp. I wonder if Takara thickened the plastic on Grimlock so his whole head doesn't light up?

I don't see much difference between this FOC Thundercracker and the one we got in the Generations line. The paint job is a little better with the silver on the guns. Other than that, what is different?
The Grimlock is a pass for me. Not much more than a red Grimlock to me. If you are into repaints then it would be pretty cool. I am sometimes, but not for the price these will command.

Unless you mean he's not with Takara at all anymore, which I wouldn't know either way.
He did write the Japanese Generations bios, though, which is why I assumed this toy's bio would be written by him. If not, then I still look forward to seeing the bio even if someone else wrote it.

logos on the jet mode fin, black knees instead of gray, different paint apps on the guns, etc.

A few subtle differences. Like, the Takara one has a metallic paint finish, richer paint colors,shockblast2 wrote:I don't see much difference between this FOC Thundercracker and the one we got in the Generations line.

Nice colors on TC, but I don't like the mold enough to pay import prices.
I'd get the Grimmy for my kid, he likes red Grimlocks, but again, that isn't an import buy.

Now that I actually look at the source pages, it says that is a form Grimlock powered up into after absorbing the thermal energy of lava.
It also says which stores they are exclusive to:
Fireblast Grimlock - Bic Camera and Kojima stores
Thundercracker - Yodobashi Camera, Yamada Denki, and Best Denki stores
