It's going to be a long wait. Luckily, I do still have a Thundercracker and my BotCon Reflector to get me through until March.

Unless Part 2 ends up being just a set to finish off the remaining named Decepticons from "More Than Meets the Eye, Parts 1-3" who haven't yet been given the Dramatic Capture treatment, which I guess would be Skywarp, Ravage, and Blue Frenzy/Rumble. Maybe they could add in Buzzsaw and Red Rumble/Frenzy to bulk out the set and round out the initial 1984 lineup.
There’s no memorable Decepticon-only scenes with the leftover characters in MTMTE part 2 after scrolling past the Youtube upload. They may just make the filler set like you mention.

Piling voyager Soundwave on Hound would be hilarious though.

I'll second wanting a G1 toy colored Thundercracker, it was my first Transformer. A red Bumblebee was my second but that's really unlikely as everyone would just think he's Cliffjumper.

Then by pure coincidence the pack gets moved up to January, it's delivered on February 2, Thundercracker tries to see what Reflector sees, Reflector sees his shadow, and there's four million years more of war.

I would have really liked a Selects Thundercracker in that deep, rich toy-colored deco, with creamy chocolate and nougat. Mmm...

I don't even like this mold and I'd buy it.

Part of the reason why I think that this set appeals to me, is that it really conjurs up the old (good) feeling of "Takara's release is different". I used to love waiting to see what deco choices they would go with, and I miss a little of the fanfare around that. Arguably, most of the Dramatic Capture series releases do that, but this one in particular strikes a chord.

I think the best modern Thundercracker color released 'recently' was retail Classics, I got one for my birthday, years after my G1. But most of them after always seemed lighter for some reason.

I'm debating the Selects Refractor in toy colors. I had the mail-away, and it's in stock at BBTS still.

They’re changing Thundercracker’s tailfin stripes to be animation accurate vs the reuse of Starscream’s the initial stock photos has.

Gonna be honest, I never noticed they were different.
It's an easy thing to forget, since the tailfins vanish in robot mode. That only leaves you shots of the jet mode where the tailfins are on the screen. After that, you just have to hope they didn't mix up the character models/color them wrong anyway.

Really doesn’t help that Skywarp and Thundercracker were basically replaced by the coneheads as the decepticon cannon fodder in season 2 and died in the movie.

...Before inexplicably reappearing alive and well at Starscream's coronation. :p

A couple of generic Air Warriors saw them missing after the big battle and stole their colors so they could call dibs on their stuff.
