We've received the heads up that there is currently an auction for a Transformers Revenge of The Fallen deluxe class Thrust on ebay. Yes this figure is not a repaint of the Movie 1 Voyager class Starscream mold like the rest of the G1 colored seeker homages but of deluxe class ROTF Breakaway.
Wow, I'm definitely getting this guy! The main thing I didn't like about Breakaway was the colors, I can definitely deal with this scheme. It wont make me start collecting coneheads, but who says I've gotta get them all?
I knew that this mold would be getting better colours and yes thsi is the version I'll be getting. Just sucks for those that wanted a complete Seeker set that Thrust isn't same size as the rest of em.
Mind you this is different packaging compared to the first 3 waves. Looks like this movie's repaint line will be some sort of 'Red' focus. Swerve... Dead End... now this Thrust is Red too!
That is a different head scupl! ive zoomed in several times and its different...really different and ill be picking him up for sure... about time hasbro did something about the repaints, instead of painting them different colors, new head scupls is a nice touch...
I only own a couple Transformers myself, I just put them up in my cube at work as decoration (they're a nice stress relief when I'm on deadline too). I think I'm gonna pick up Thrust. I don't have a jet yet, and he looks totally awesome.
Breakaway doesn't have much kibble in jet mode, and his robot mode is pretty sweet. The only things I don't like about it are the color scheme and the big, round, googly eyes. Thrust fixes both of these problems, plus he's a decepticon, which is always a plus for me.
well it certainly sounds as if this Thrust is going to be a fan fav... nice touch with the different head sculpt..don't know if that is a fluke or if hasbro management has decided new noggins are a good fan and customer relations idea... it will remain to be seen if they carry on with this approach in other repaints in the future..
It sure would be nice to keep getting new head sculpts for repaints All the time, Hasbro...
New colours, cool - I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth but this is the one time I wish Hasbro hadn't used a new headsculpt... I liked Breakaway's D'awww expression.
Still, I'll probably pick up this and the new Dirge mold.
