    Are they re-releasing Meteor and the other seekers in an EX?

    First company to do G2 Thundercracker can put any price they want on it and I'll pay.

    Really like the colours. Making the chest a darker shade of green was also something I was planning on doing with first the MP and currently the Siege version.

    And that's just it. I've passed the station where I would be interested in this. It's a pretty figure, but not worth it especially since it would be very expensive to get the team with Sunstorm having been a fundraiser a now expensive.

    G2 Meteor was a TCP exclusive. Not available in any other stores.

    Yes, but it was labeled as an exclusive, while this guy hasn't been.

    At least not yet.

    If I remember correctly, they tried crowdfunding right around the time folks on here soured to the whole crowdfund idea in general. I think Hotlink suffered because of the MAAS Toys crowdfund debacle.

    Maybe I'm remembering the timeline wrong though, and it was for a whole other reason altogether.

    Edit: Just noticed that TFSource does indeed list him as an exclusive, so bummer.

    Were these hinges for the null rays on the original 3? I don't recall and am not at home to check. This pic from tfsource listing focuses in on it:

    Yes. That's always been part of the design.

    I believe it was around the time HasLab Unicron was going on.

    I like him more with the green legs and grey chest; the arms also look better with that gray instead of the white they are using

    In my opinion that purple scheme looks more interesting than the light green that they are using now

    The continued failure of the crowdfund attempts, to me, points to “actually there are not enough people interested in this after all”. Which is kind of the point.

    I’m curious to see how this one sells. It’s unlikely we’ll get another official MP acid storm, but I don’t see it being an especially popular figure anyways. Strange that they decided to do this one instead of putting the resources into finishing Thrust and Ramjet, or doing reissues of Thundercracker and Skywarp. Those would have been much more likely to get fan interest.
