Looks nice, and I imagine it is what Hasbro's would look like if they used MP Starscream as a base. Though I do think if done now the figure would resemble the original toy's colors and wing stripes more than this cartoon based version.

Ironic that there is such a demand for MP Thundercracker now that Hasbro doesn't appear to be or is in no rush to make one themselves (especially since some places were clearancing Takara MP Thundercracker just a couple years ago).

Those colors accentuate everything I dislike about that mold...

Pretty sexy right there.

That looks nice.

I'm seriously tempted to sell my Takara TC for this one - if nothing else the chest vents will be on the correct sides. It doesn't hurt that it looks good.

Same here.

I'd need to sell him to be abe to afford this one, but then, I'd prefer to have this one in hand before getting rid of the official one.

Devilish Catch 22.

God, maybe it's time I just sell that Shadow Scythe I never opened and buy all the Igear Seekers.

Don't really care about TC, but I have to admit I might be tempted by a Starscream recolor. Mostly, because of the minor improvements to the mold & because even after spending hours removing paint, I'm not entirely satisfied with my Hasbro MP Screamer.

I know there's a way some have fixed their Starscream to be like this, but it is clearly beyond my skills to do.

I was able to reverse mine easily with a watch pin remover. Looks a ton better this way.

If they do Starscream in a light gray and Skywarp (hopefully with purple cannons) I'll have a hard time resisting these.

Randy

Well - I did it. Just sold my TC (in six minutes - I low-balled it but still paid for the new one and some change). Now I just hope the quality on these is as good as their Coneheads!

Damn, that's tempting.

Thing is, I don't mind the hip-kibble, I've got MP Starscream and Skywarp, and I'd want my Thundercracker to be able to display the same as the two I've already got. And I don't think the grays would look right next to the two official ones.

I guess I'll hold out for a Hasbo MP 'cracker at some point. I'd like to get the coneheads...but $400 is a bit rich for my blood.

New pictures.

Not a fan of of the gray color for his silver parts (though it probably matches Hasbro's MP Skywarp, if so that's good). I would have preferred white plastic or silver paint, I really don't like the way the thighs are gray. The blue is nice though.

Randy

That blue is just beautiful.

It looks great in F-15 mode, but yeah, I don't think I like the grey that much.

He's so close to Classic Space colors it's not even funny.

At first I thought the gray legs is a result of the way iGear's copy of the mold is broken up.

As IIRC every version of the mold has the thighs matching the color of the pectorals, but then there is Sunstorm so that throws that theory out the window.
