    Don't usually make reviews because I'm not much on reviewing. But here it goes.

    War for Cybertron Thundercracker.

    In Box images.

    Now out of box, pretty much same ask Starscream. Just love the color on him. However, it could be just mine. But the guns are a bit loose when attaching to sidearms.

    Look at comparison with the original Siege Starscream.

    Plus, the heads are the only big difference between both figures besides the paint. Do you think it would be better for both heads to switch. But thundercracker's smirk looks more like a little scratch than a smile.

    Vehicle Mode with Starscream too.

    Plus transforming him, the chest is a little more sturdy. Not like Starscream's that easily falls off.

    Overall, It's nice to add this to your collection. Can't wait for Skywarp and hopefully there will be more Seekers to come.

    Good job. Glad to hear that his chest is a bit more sturdy. Hopefully that’s consistent across all copies.

    Are the head paints identical, in other words can I swap heads without fear?

    Pretty much the same paint. But I have not tried yet.

    Nice, please let us all know if the headswap is extensive or just a quick pop from a ball joint. Thank you

    :thumb  Good review!

    Do you have a Classics Thundercracker that you can compare with it?
    Not for the size (got that covered below), I just wanna see how different the colors are, since just like Starscream, Siege TC will be wearing Classic TC Shoulder weapons.

    They were hard to take off. So I had to unscrew them.

    So is he the more powdered blue than the deep blue he sometimes gets? It’s not easy to distinguish in pictures in general.

    Oh no I am grateful for your efforts I was just hopping they could be swapped easier.

    Siege Starscream's head comes in three parts, and just one screw keeps it together.

    Not good for hot-swapping, but for a one-off trade it's nothing grueling.

    I should have mine August 5 (on Pre-order from Amazon). I'm greatly looking forward to it, my collection has been sorely missing a Voyager Thundercracker for 6 or so years and was the Siege figure I wanted the most when the line was announced.

    I'm also curious about this. The deeper cobalt of the Generations (or whatever the fuck they were calling it at the time) Thundercracker is just absolutely gorgeous (or the G1 - wasn't the body kind of sparkly blue?). Like candy for my eyes. I'm hoping that the powdered blue he looks like is just a trick of the lighting, and maybe he's just like a flat blue.

    He said in another thread that he got it from a local collector store, in a case with Springer.

    That is correct. But funny thing. When I ordered it, I ordered Springer and Thundercracker together. But it was said that Springer is in a case with Starscream and Thundercracker is in a case with Megatron. Well, that's exactly what the collector store got. So to accommodate all preorders, they combined all the Springers and Thundercrackers to fill all orders. And now, the store is left with a huge overstock of Megatrons and Starscreams.
