4th Party Masterpiece MP-52+ Thundercracker Version 2.0 3.0

[@lareh5501]

I wonder if the KO companies will do color decos that takara mp had not done, like G2, shattered glass, or background toon versions. About a week ago I was moving boxes of bot and uncovered a shiny golden lagoon KO MP seeker, still in it’s brown shipping box and grey foam, and was remembering color variants that were supposedly going to come out YEARS ago, yet not a peep ( I might even have a dollar down preorder on a couple).

[@richardathay3329]

That would be awesome, that's basically what the ko companies are doing with mp-44. I would love a set of rainmakers.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

The rainmakers would be awesome!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

@@richardathay3329 Great they are giving us those mp44 options

[@white09stang]

Thanks for the review. I think the proportion look off on the Takara/ KO compared to the Deformation Space version. The parts on the shoulder are called intakes. A pylon is what holds the missiles or external fuel tanks. Hope this helps. Thanks again!!!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Yes the Takara is good but Deformation just nailed it

[@MisterBobot]

Great review... this guy was always one of my favorites. :)

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

With all the Starscreams happy to get thundercracker and Skywarp renditions

[@theafroalien3169]

Thanks. Still waiting on mine. Should get it early March. Just a figure suggestion that you may be interested in Mike, I got my Bayverse Oversized Sentinel Prime and I must say that it is one very impressive figure

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That looks cool I have a leader class one from years back is this bigger than that one?

[@theafroalien3169]

He comes in at a good 12” or 1 foot give or take a fraction of an inch and he is painted exceptionally well. I got mine for $170 . Take a look at oversized sentinel prime on Bens KO channel. I think you’ll be impressed

[@thisbigblacdingdang6135]

I remember telling Mike that they'll continue making KO's and he made an entire segment saying the end of KO's lol you owe me a six pack of orange sodas

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

LOL the game has changed but happy it is still here

[@The_Bi-polar_Express]

I have the official Skywarp 2.0 and I need a Thundercracker for my collection, I'm considering this one.

[@baredas]

Was that a little bit of Pixel Dan I heard?!

[@bobdobalina8910]

I would buy the KO because the Hasbro/Takara Price Point is simply insanely OUTRAGEOUS. It's PRICE GOUGING. However, Much like the Real McCoy, he is Just Too Small. Under Tall. Looks bizarrely odd in physical proportions. Toon "accurate"? Debatable. But If I was going to buy one, it would be the KO. The route I went DEFORMATION for the WIN.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Yes Deformation for the win but there really are no losers in this new Seeker race

[@jonathandavenport5326]

Hey, sorry I'm late seeing this, but what KO version of Megatron is that at the end? You said it but I can't make it out...I love the silver finish on it...! Is that how it looks in real life? I've seen the chrome version but I don't like it as much because it's got the toy deco and the off-color hips. Thanks and thanks for the awesome videos!

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

MagTen KO of MP-36.

[@reymed1670]

Good review 👍

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Thanks this is solid but not without flaws

[@msintal1308]

It looks shorter than rhe Takara. Is that just the perspective?

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I see that also but it is the same size not sure why it looked that way

[@chingylee5785]

Only thing is they did not paint the arm, i hope the ko Skywarp is not colored as the official one

[@lancertreepuffer]

👍

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Thanks

[@DragoonMS]

Wonky knees? No surprise, some copies of the official had wonky knees.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Just felt like thinner plastic than the official but could be how it is assembled

[@DragoonMS]

After lookin' at a few other reviews (WOW, Thundercracker reviews are scarce compared to Starscream and Skywarp), it could be just dumb design decisions across the board. Some copies of the official MP52 mold had wonky knees...Bobby Skullface's copy of Starscream had seriously wonky ankles, and he now henceforth calls it "Starlean" 😄😆🤣...my Eagle Starscream KO has somewhat wonky ankles and tinkering with things via screwdriver doesn't seem to help...some folks had breakage at the knees or at the ankles (the Eagle KOs supposedly corrected that with a different plastic for the knees and the area that houses the ankles)...and whether legit, 1:1 KO, or Eagle KO, Skywarp tends to be a complete turd in QC compared to Starscream and Thundercracker. I wonder if that was the case for Deformation Space/Transform Element/Black Mamba (how many times have they rebranded now??)...

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Frankly, the KO is far better beating the Takara/Hasbro by a large margin. Starscream still complains at Thundercracker to be the number one,though.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I do wonder how it would compare to the official Thundercracker side by side vs comparing to Starscream

[@reymed1670]

Sold out because you took them ALL

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

LOL Just got the one but guess will be at 5 new seekers now

[@user-st2oj5ic7u]

Too small, Deformation Space is better

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

DS is the winner for me
