    Wasn't the thundercracker to be a nitro zeus re-deco?

    Yes. The speculation based on price was that it'd be a repaint of PotP Starscream, but *someone* confirmed it was Nitro Zeus...likely with the Takara Starscream headmaster.

    EDIT: Now that ToyWiz has officially chimed in, can we close this thread before more people get suckered by it.

    Toon colors wouldn't be radically different from the existing toys - just replace the gold with opaque yellow and make the red eyes blue.

    Well, here's hoping actual G2 redecos do happen at some point regardless.

    here's the text of a tweet from Ben Yee at the Hasbro panel at Toyfair:

    If the thread is still going in the morning I'll find a link to the original tweet.

    IIRC the Thundercracker was meant to be at Toyfair but wasn't, can't remember why.

    First I'd heard about it using the Takara Starscream Headmaster, where did you get that from? If it was a Moie Series exclusive, surely it would have a Movie face?

    They will milk these molds.. Trust me.
    Somewhere along the line, they will make decepticon version and label it DINOKING.

    Woof. That stings.

    That saaaaaaid, Nitro is one of my favorite TLK molds, and maybe one of the coolest jetformers ever. He'd be neat as Thundercracker for sure. But if TRU's rapid decline continues apace, there's an unfortunate chance he'll be canceled. Though they could reshuffle stuff like that as, say, HTS exclusives or even BBTS. Given that a lot of us go through etailers now, well, Hasbro is probably considering that dedicated toy stores won't be around forever, so...

    It's nice that they put in a box set without having you have to hunt for all of them...

    Since this was debunked as not being an actual box set, I'm gonna lock this bad boy.

    Hopefully something along the lines will materialize down the road though.
