Collection Station has put up new, official Hasbro images of the next two entries into the Transformers Animated Voyager assortment – Mudbuster Bulkhead and Thundercracker. These new images show off the robot and vehicle modes of these two new Animated toys, as well as in package images. As an added bonus, the bios have also been posted:
Mudbuster Bulkhead: Sneaking has never been one of the things at which BULKHEAD excels. He prefers to change directly into action, causing as much chaos as possible. When he discovers the CONTSTRUCTICONS™ up to no good at a local construction site, that’s exactly what he does. Mud and debris spray up from his wheels as he speeds into the middle of the site, ready to smash DECEPTICONS® with his wrecking ball.
Thundercracker: STARSCREAM® has a bad reputation for being arrogant, but his clone THUNDERCRACKER has perfected the art of being self-involved. He’s absolutely convinced that he’s the best looking, most talented, most dangerous robot ever built. He refuses to work with most other DECEPTICONS®, arguing that they just make him look bad.

I hear that, but I still couldn't resist getting Skywarp… hell I don't even have room for what I already have, so what's one more going to hurt
SPLIT LIP
I actually saw him at wal Mart today.
Passed. I don't have the physical room for repaints.

Pass on TC, I honestly like the Activator's colors more than the voyager's colors.
Bulkhead is a must for me, though. I still need a Bulkhead (the Leader might be more accurate size-wise, but I honestly don't like how they just try to explain all the gimmickry by blaming it on the Headmaster), and the colors on the "Mudbuster" variant look cooler than just the straight green on the normal release. It's certainly different, and I like different
Although these two will almost certainly become exclusives of some sort, as most stores have removed the listings for Animated toys altogether. Unless Hasbro puts these under the Generations marker, which while breaking the "deluxe only" rule (which I think is utter bullshit in my opinion), but that would force a greater distribution rate and possibly sell more product for Hasbro.

Several months ago.

Did those slightly repainted Activators ever ship as yet ?
PoweredConvoy
Yeah lately Skywarp & Shockwave have shown up again at Wal-Marts and such.

SNAKE EYES V2
He's still available on HasbroToyShop.com and if you look around you might still be able to find him at retail I have seen him at Kmart and Walmart near me.

I have Starscream and Skywarp. Now I want Thundercracker.
Omegatron
I got Sunstorm because he was $5. I bought Skywarp because 2 Seekers seemed lonely. Now, Thundercracker goes on the 'buy' list for completion's sake. I do like the mold and the colors though.
And maybe the fine folks at Botcon can do Thrust and Dirge.
MrSoundwaveGuy
ugh, I HATE the color scheme on this Thundercracker, it's so crowded with colors it just looks hideous, easy pass. Would've prefered they release a more show accurate Starscream and then just repurpose the first Starscream as TC
Grimwing
Actually this made me consider how few thundercrackers I have. Skywarp and Starscream simply get way more toys.
Allspark Blue really makes sense in the third season Animated continuity.
Thundercracker is powered by a allspark fragment.
I will probably buy mudbuster bulkhead anyway, a cool team mate for roadbuster ultra magnus.
Boy Blunder
Not really. Prime's got the Wingblade Prime toy still slated, and we just got the Samurai Prowl not all that long ago.
AniProwl
I hope I can grab an Animated Skywarp before Thundercracker comes to stores.
I am also pissed off how they mention the Constructicons yet don't have toys at least of Scrapper and Mix. Forget about Dirt Boss. Like anyone really wants a toy of him.
Torque
TC yes, prbl not Bulkhead though, sorry buddy. anyone else surprised we didnt get repaints of Prowl and Prime?
Lock Cade
Yay, Voyager Thundercracker!
openchallenge
if only my tfa skywarp felt more apt to transform than say… the elephant man. the gears are completely jammed. i gotta think about thundercracker. oh, and make with the female seeker for eff sakes.
col
Can't wait to get ahold of Thundercracker. I'm so glad I ended up getting Sunstorm, so I'll have all the seekers. Plus, it'll be the first time I'll have all three main seekers!
I'd get Bulkhead if I had the Leader mold instead of the original voyager. But I don't, so I won't be picking this one up.
Totally agree with the other people saying it's frustrating that they mention the Constructicons in Bulkhead's bio, but they don't seem to be getting any toys, which is an absolute crime!
dark69
i want them both so bad!!!!
in.cog.nito
whelp looks like i am getting another seeker mold epically after getting skywarp like a week ago.

Thundercracker is bought on site. I'll buy that bulkhead when things slow down and I get desperate for a fix.
