#31 | | Analyst/Therapist Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 2,566 Location: San Francisco, CA Collection Count: Fewer than I want, more than I need | Clearly that second deluxe Autobot is Autobot Thundercracker.... who changed factions to avoid any legal troubles from Fun Publications. He'll be in Actionmaster colors.
(Actually, I'm fairly intrigued at the idea of a Japan-only Classics deluxe repaint. I honestly can't think who it might be. Hubcap, Bumblejumper, Goldbug? Crystal or Black Rodimus? Clear Mirage? G2 Grimlock? Or maybe BBTS just has the price wrong, and that's actually just Henkei Magnus. Who knows?) |

Good news on the Ramjet though. It'll mean that i can turn the hasbro one i have into Thrust unless i prefer the hasbro one.

LOL, Neon Autobot Action Master Thundercracker - have a job getting that name on the packaging! 
Never thought of Goldbug...that'd be better than both Hubcap & Bumblejumper. Maybe we could then get a red repaint as Chase! | |

I also hope they release Classics Skywarp(in more accurate purple), Classics Thundercracker(maybe in cartoon-accurate colors, since dark blue has already been done?), and the other cone heads....which I'm not sure how they could do those to differentiate them from the Botcon versions. Newest TF Addition: FORTRESS MAXIMUS!!!

It's been done with the PVC Skywarp, as Hasbro gave it a mass release. There are other examples, but they elude me at the moment. I started a thread about the implications of this on Seibertron and everyone got really pissed off. It's awesome to consider henkei Thundercracker, Dirge and Thrust and what that actually means to everyone else. | |

Prime says, " Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, Mother@#$%ker ! "
Rodimus L. Jackson says, " 'Till all are One, Mother@#$%ker ! "
