Generations Thundercracker Review (with pictures)

I know, it's just kind of ironic because here we have the perfect ones being the cheap-to-acquire mass-retail versions instead of ultra-pricy exclusives.

Well....they have had extra time to get the damn thing right.

They definitely got it right!

Got mine in today and it is fantastic, but one thing does bug me: in fighter mode, if you've got the legs locked in all the way his tail section is angled downwards slightly. I'm a TF noob and my only other experience with this mold is Dirge (who has no tail, of course) so this is probably old news to everyone else, hehe.

Just a minor thing, I otherwise love it. The colors are superb!

The seeker mould is pretty old. Combined with slightly outdated engineering and possible mould-degredation, I'm surprised the mould is as good-looking in jet mode as it is.

I still wish the robot mode was less chunky and had better articulation. Still the coneheads are pretty nice toys and TC's deco is slick as hell. I hope I can find him, and hope a new Skywarp is on the way. (afterall, they did release Starscream in a new deco in Universe 2.0)

TC is definitely my favorite seeker to date. Got mine last friday and I haven't stopped fiddling with him since. Detail is just so nice and just such a solid color scheme for an awesome character. Love this dude.

The tailfin pointing slightly down is normal. At least in my experience with the Seeker mold.

You'll be very happy with this guy - if there's mold degradation, you wouldn't be able to tell. All the joints are tight, and the cannons fit very well into his shoulders and don't fall out if he takes a spill. Hope distribution improves and you can find him because he rounds out the Seekers very nicely. A Skywarp and Starscream with matching design schemes (wing stripes, Decepticon logos that are right-side up on transformed wings, etc) would be a godsend. So would a Sunstorm.

Even though I have the Botcon 'cracker, I'm looking forward to this guy, especially if the quality is as good as implied around here.

Tired and dated as the classi-seeker mold might be, part of me still hopes they keep pumping out repaints/variants until the steel falls apart at a molecular level. (recently bit the bullet and got a KO CMHS purple generi-seeker, and seriously thinking about a Sunstorm and maybe others)

I appreciate the confirmation! I figured that was the case as I checked out galleries of some of the other molds who exhibited the same thing. Puts my mind at ease .

Got mine today and he is sexy.

Looks like all the previous issues have been fixed.
No loose Null rays
No floppy arms or legs
No stress on wings and fins
