Posted by Mkall Mar 30, 2009 at 5:29pm CDT 20,056 views
Official pictures of Botcon Thunderclash have been revealed today on the Botcon Official Website. As reported earlier he is indeed a repaint of Energon Rodimus.

Check out all the pics here! While you're at it, compare this figure to the original Thunderclash and Energon Rodimus and Checkpoint.

"Where all others fail, I stand able to succeed."

A decisive leader who is never afraid to take action, he commands the instant respect and loyalty of every soldier he takes under his wings. With a razor sharp mind, and a reputation for rescuing troops under his command from disastrous situations, Thunderclash is considered an ideal mentor to initiate new recruits into the
Autobot ranks.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

I like the Energon Rodimus mold. And I think Thunderclash has a pretty unique and interesting color scheme. But I'm not sure they go together that well....

And why is his elite guard symbol so tiny?

I Like the mold. I may try to pick him up, maybe somebody won't like him enough to sell him to me cheaper than...well others...

blech.

Much prefer the original. The colours just aren't quite right, and the placement of the paint apps seems rather random...

don't think the colours work as well here as they did on the original, but it's certainly my favourite of the bunch, and does give me some of that G1.5 feel.

At least being colorblind has saved me here. I like mold and the idea but he seems to come of as disco to me. I really would have to go get some labels to fix that Autobot crest. I would have thought for a teacher, he'd be proud to wear it, not ashamed. lol

Well, the colors really don't work well on this mold.

The upper legs should have been that pinkish red.

His chest is just too white. some black wash or something to bring out the detail there.

The gun should have been golden or at least some yellowish plastic not blue.

Overall, not nice.

Considering I only like 2 molds of this set, I think I'll pass.

Hopefully BBTS can get Landshark and either Skyquake or Leozack loose so I can get them without having to dish out for the complete set.

E-Prime would have been better. Sorry Rosimus does not cut it this time.

It's...awful. Even on E-Rodimus, it's still one of the worst color combinations in the history of TFs.

I would just call him CLASH because all the colors clash.

Not bad. It could have been a lot better than it is, but it doesn't really suck, either.

I agree. That's what I think the issue is, here. That the colors don't work well together.

Well, that's basically how it was with the original Thunderclash. The colors are pretty similar. What more did you guys expect?

I really like Thunderclash. My only complaint is I wish they could have used the Cybertron Prime mold.

Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing. I hate Colas though.
