Glad I only preordered Dirge as Thrust is the only Botcon seeker I gave in and bought on ebay...Dirge's wings will definately be getting the alcohol bath to remove those fugly paint apps.

Agreed. WTF is up with the patterns. Did not need that at all.....hmmmm...

And VTOL propellers covered = defeats the purpose.

OK, so anyone succeeded in pre-ordering them from the sites that sell them? or do they still only ship to Japan?

I really want to get them, but not for the insane prices TC and Skywarp went for.

I agree, Thrust"s VTOL is 100% sure to be removable. This is for two reasons:

1. It can be packaged this way as seen and then the Collector's Club guys cannot complain that it looks like their version.

2. Look closer - you'll notice, that unlike on the other seekers, Thrust's large wing is fixed to his body on two places... and is thus not rotatable 180 degrees! Thus, if the VTOL would be mounted on top of the wing in plane mode, it'd be on the backside of the robot in robot mode. This is the reason it's removable (has to be), so it can be mounted on the underside of the wing in robot mode to provide the classic look.

Also... the VTOL having a peg the same size as the rocket launchers also means it could be mounted on Thrust's shoulders, or be used as a shield in his hands!

I know it is photoshopped my question is "what is assumed?". Is the thrusts spilt in half and put back together on the wing? Or does it just sit on top of the wing? Does it just have a peg like the gun? Either way I am getting it I just wanted to know how we are assuming it can be put together.

Oh.. I'm disappointed how Dirge's and Thrust's paint apps turned out. It's a pitty, because I like Dirge mold so much

When they where announced, I had high expectations about these two. I guess Takara Tomy saved me some money.

Thank GOD that the Botcon Thrust looks much better than that abomination that Henkei is releasing.
