    I was never a big fan of the G2 colours. I'm passing on this Bruticus.

    So, am I the only one who looks at BBTS Not-Skywarp, and immediately wants a translucent version in Sunstorm colours?

    Still, that not-Slicer Wheeljack is bought. Thanks for the extra Decepticon symbols AM Breakdown!

    I might be in the minority here, but honestly prefer the original MP3 mold. Mostly because it hs a better looking jet mode.
    I'd still like to try getting this one, as it should certainly be more affordable than the Takara version (I hope)

    A couple of questions though.
    I understand the 'Sonicboom' decal on the tail, although it does look garish.
    But what's the significance for the 'tats' of Reflector on the shoulders?
    Also, I noticed an 'exclusive' sticker on the packaging, does mean that this is a store exclusive?

    You're not the only one that likes the MP-3 mold that's why old mold = alt mode and new = bot will be how my display will be. I doubt that Takara is going to release TC off the MP-11 mold for under $70 so as far as being cheaper yes the TRU version will most definitely be.

    I'll just wait for Takara's Thundercracker since the paintjob will be different much like the New Starscream in a few details (I'm all about the details)


    Here's my prediction on some color changes that matter to me and bring him closer to the G1:

    [​IMG]

    - Silver where the intakes meet the chest (they made that piece red in screamer, makes sense!)
    - Blue on the waist side panels (they made it grey on screamer... fuselage main color! .. i'd prefer silver but i bet it'll be blue)
    - Blue where upper legs meet the waist (they gave screamer an all grey upper leg, makes sense his upper leg being one color)


    Also bet he won't have those red stripes no his upper arms..!

    Damn... kinda mad I parted ways with my Hasbro MP Skywarp after seeing that Thundercracker... oh well. I can pick it up again if I decide to get them both.

    Those Dark Energon Prime toys are looking amazing! I gotta have Knockout and Screamer.

    I suspect/hope for almost identical changes. Seriously--does someone at Hasbro like "boy shorts" or something? First MP Rodimus, and now MP Thundercracker---why do they keep *changing* the upper legs to be the same color as the waist armor, instead of leaving it like how Takara's been molding/coloring them? It almost looks like they're wearing hot pants when they do this. It's the main reason I never transform MP Hot Rod to Rodimus mode.

    Of course, if Takara goes with anime pale blue, all bets are off. Needs to be a deep blue. :) 

    (also, I still keep thinking Hasbro doesn't have much *black* on the figure, just lots of charcoal grey---Thundercracker should have BLACK accents, not dark grey) MP-07 had navy blue, now this one is grey. Is it that hard to use BLACK on a figure that should be black? TC's black is exactly where SW's purple is---it's the main accent color and part of their iconic look. People expect *purple* on Skywarp and not "something close"---we should get *black* on Thundercracker in the same areas.

    If I end up getting the TC, I may end up switching the windows with my ones from my MP-03 US SS. Do you guys think that that would look good?

    I'll probably pass on TC, at least for a while. He doesn't go with my Skywarp. :\

    Don't be mad... with MP Skywarp having been the MP-3 mold, and Thundercracker being the MP-11 mold, they wouldn't quite match anyway. I mean, I don't know if you have the same insane collector OCD that I have, but that would honestly bug me. :)  Instead, hold out hope for a "Coronation Skywarp" or some such.
