Who Wore it better? When Are We Getting More? | Studio Series Thundercracker Review

[@theholo-library4020]

Thundercrackers tend to be better than Stascreams. Can't wait for them to make Skywarp a super expnsive, hard to find exclusive for the third time in a row.

[@jkliao6486]

4th if you count the BW2 character with the same name.

[@dkkanofkash8798]

Fun fact: It was Starscream, Thrust, and Skywarp that took down the Autobot Tower in the movie, though we got Thundercracker instead of Skywarp first even though Thundercracker got knocked out way earlier before the Tower's destruction by Optimus Prime. Next up we might get Skywarp since there's a whole scene of Bumblebee killing Skywarp, or rather a Seeker that looked like Skywarp.

[@Skywarpandthundercrackerfanboy]

Skywarp was the guy next to starscream because later e reappeared with soundwave thrust and Thundercracker in optimus escape flashback scene

[@geo-fry6372]

If Skywarp happens, I’ll get him. I think Thundercracker looks like the best of the 3 so far. His colors are great, and takes the all the best aesthetics from the other 2.

[@AfterthymeGaming]

Skywarp definitely has the better colour scheme compare to all the seekers.

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

Good news: We are getting a Studio Series Bumblebee-styled Skywarp later this year.

[@confusedcabal342]

I absolutely love this design! Sadly, my thundercracker arrived with a broken piece out of the box, and I’m worried messing around with it might break it off entirely…

[@bytisoli]

I feel like the whole "conehead" collar they gave thrust alongside with colours that actually match that weird light gray just perfected the looks for me. He feels like space dracula

[@bradensmith8682]

The leg swing reminds me of how the Siege Tetrajet nosecone flips around.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

They look great for a movieverse series of Seekers. I like how Thrust is wearing Armada colors. I've been wanting to build up a Seekers collection for a while as the Star Scream Earthrise is the only one in my collection right now. Out of all the designs available I'm hoping we get a Thundrcracker and Skywarp out of the Legacy Armada mold.

[@mrmesserjr]

That intro went crazy

[@framerate6455]

that intro was clean af..

[@shaldurprime7154]

I'm constantly forgetting that it's thrust and not acid storm

[@Watcherprime_]

I really like what they did with Thrust. The different Shades of green was a nice touch. Biggest complaint about him is the cone head design limits his head possibility a bit.

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

He's a homage to Armada's Thrust, what did you people that grew up with G1 expect?? 🙄

[@jackojoyanimations]

i like how they have an accurate cybertronian vehicle mode from the movie and wing tips angles with the ability to give them the g1 position like starscream? that's cool honestly in my opinion. i do also like the accurate colours too.

[@SlowpokeWooper21]

My only problem with this mold is that there isn’t a skywarp

I just remember every time that the seekers where on screen that was how they transformed into their jet mode was depicted almost perfectly in the studio series toys

[@novustalks7525]

"I've never been one for collecting seekers" *showcases 4 of them* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@GalvatronStudios]

I got myself the DOTM Studio Series Thundercracker because I liked the idea of the movie Seeker trio have their own unique design for my collection now I’m patiently waiting for a Studio Series BB Skywarp which we probably won’t get until 2025 or longer

[@custommediacreations]

well, you won't be waiting long. One’s set to come out next year I believe, based on listings.

[@jedijam91]

I just hope we get a Skywarp. Skywarp has my favorite color scheme of all the Seekers.

[@usedtissuepaper42]

the only thing is that the BB Skywarp design is dominantly purple, with a bit of grey. there’s little to no black on him. hopefully they put some black on the SS figure instead of being 100% movie accurate

[@JommiGommi]

This is 8 months later but just so you know, the SS Product Leaks came in last week, and Knightverse Skywarp is on that list :)

[@jjrivas3]

I dig Shatter and her jet form. Wish they made more of those as a seeker line. I have random jets too in my collection. I have Nitro Zeus and all the other Seekers.

[@xen0bia]

"Who wore it better?" - Skywarp, in the future, when they make it. 😆 Yeah, Skywarp has the best colour scheme of the Seekers in my humble opinion and I'll always get that one over any other if possible (if it's not some exclusive that's now ridiculously priced or something...*cough*SiegeSkywarp*cough*). Currently, I only own Starscream in that mold, because, well, he's Starscream, and even though I generally try to only have one of each mold, I probably won't pass him if he's ever released.

[@Tom-oz7wk]

I don't have any of the seekers but I regret not getting thrust because I honestly think he wore it better. Idek why because the colour scheme is kinda weird (and I think different to his g1 design) but it's somehow great. I also like how they designed the coneheads in the bumblebee movie in such a way that doesn't look goofy. The extra bit around the back of thrusts head makes it more pleasing to look at and again, I don't know why

[@kinnikuman-devilman_fan_2002]

Ok dude, we get it that you don't like BB Thrust because Thrust is more like his Armada character and not his stupid G1 color already, don't rub it in.

[@tonyabye8873]

As someone who owns thrust i think The colors work better for Thundercracker

[@ventris425productions5]

I have thrust, and while I want thundercracker there’s something about it that just seems off

[@CodeBricks.2.0]

I feel like blitzwing wore it better, i mean he is the first one to introduce the new design of the seekers when we saw the movie, but thunder cracker is good to, i think the devs took inspiration of blitzwing design and made a new design with a lot of differences.

[@expandapantsii341]

technically starscream during the cybertron scene as he's the first seeker we actually see (though only for like 2 seconds)

[@Randomvideos-zi7pe]

The good old days when everyone thought blitzwing was starscream when he was first revealed

[@Thedifficultytweak]

I am very impatiently waiting for skywarp, thundercracker hasn’t even entered my collection yet and I’m already hyped for the next one

[@FastforwardxD]

Thrust is def my fav, the conehead just makes the silhouette look so intimidating and I love the colours as well

[@Transmech534]

personally I prefer the jet mode of the other seekers but in bot mode IMHO blitzwing is the superior mold

[@Albertvtnt]

Sadly my thundercrackers right wing is missing, so tell my mind it’s just “battle damage”

[@LucasJones-hp5do]

Wait is the wing on his leg missing or his back wings

[@Albertvtnt]

Back wings

[@pigeonleader]

Ok, that stop motion intro was cool

[@MrFedoraFilm]

Like the side-by-side comparisons with both Studio Series 1:09 Thundercracker 7:37.

[@SteamTrainTy]

That transformation was awesome!

[@thebrotherhoodoutcasts4284]

I think the reason they made these three first was because they were the three seekers to destroy the launch pad in the bee movie

[@usedtissuepaper42]

it was actually Skywarp who helped destroy the launchpad and not Thundercracker. so I don’t think that’s what they were going for.

[@BallisticGhast6]

You can kinda fake the head to look up by moving the head out like you’re going to remove it and then tilt it up. It’s not much, but it’s something

[@Deathbot884]

Are you getting skywarp? cause i am

[@primustheprotogen3169]

I'm planning to get the Blitzwing

[@spoon-lk5pn]

i want this guy as a blitzwing repaint as well

[@jackojoyanimations]

so you mean a cybertronian Blitzwing?

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

Had him, he was jsut ok imo. Maybe I'll buy it again when they make skywarp.

[@toadsavage9218]

Starscream colors on blitz wing and acid storm colors on thrust???

[@makswolanski5549]

I already have starscream and Im planning On getting Thrust, and i absolutelly love the mold and overall vibe. I really hope we can get more seekers with this mold in the future, especially someone like Skywarp couse i think those colours would really rock on this mold

[@scourgeprime263]

Love this mold! Hasbro better gives is that Skywarp using the concept art deco! Would take a Blitzwing from this as well, even though we never saw him in that mode in the finished film (but in some of the trailers before he got replaced by Starscream). Would have loved to see more deco on TC to make him more accurate to the scene in the movie.

[@TF_LoRdwashere]

The stop motion part was awsome!!!

[@tcogproductions]

I'm not entirely sure if that was stop motion. To me it looks like clever camera angles

[@Gearshifter09]

That intro has to become standard.

[@bennedavis4116]

Great review man!! Nailed it! I’m super excited to have my Thundercracker and when I first saw the mould of Starscream I was not a fan. . . until I had him in hand I was delighted!! But the one I’m most anxious to get my hands on has to be when they finally release this mould’s Skywarp!! They’ve just gotta do it, right? I suspect it’s going to be a 2023 figure though 😞

[@_eyesauce9147]

the starscream mold is incredible(i have it)

[@Gojiraman2005]

I’m definitely getting this guy. All we need is Skywarp, Ramjet, and Dirge.

[@jacobrex3208]

As soon as he was announced, I would check daily to see when it would ship on Amazon. This seeker mold is what got me to start collecting again. I’m just waiting for skywarp to be announced

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Wake me when they make Sunstorm.

[@screamingchild.1352]

I have a bias towards Thundercracker since he's my favorite seeker, so I def think he wore it better, and I'm probably going to pick him up soon.

[@EuanEchidhog]

Did see the figure today at Forbidden Planet and really do like the colours he had. I do plan on getting him very soon.

[@deang5386]

I got Thundercracker 3 weeks ago. He is awesome. I mainly collect only Thundercracker, so I dont really worry about having 100 seekers haha. I keep the wings swooped up in bot mode

[@theyamformerreborn706]

So do you just have a shelf with only Thundercrackers on it?

[@PyroNick01]

Thundercracker is the best out of the three, because he has the best parts of the other two, and that makes him amazing

[@TheDaxter11]

I just want a Skywarp repaint to come out, one that's WIDELY AVAILABLE IN ALL COUNTRIES WITHOUT SOME DUMBASS EXCLUSIVITY DEAL TO A SPECIFIC SHOP, thanks. I'd also take Armada Starscream and Animated Starscream repaints.

[@novustalks7525]

No matter what the box says, that is acid storm. It's the exact design. I love both, acid storm is cooler but thundercracker pops more

[@QuintheQuesadilla]

It’s an armada homage, so it is thrust Would have preferred if they used his g1 colors too but oh well

[@Gaskette_Shadow]

Thruuuuuuuust

[@brotquel1592]

I still prefer Thrust, both because I really like the conehead (conehood?) but also for the color separation, the grey used is way too dull and as soon as you take a step away the robot mode turns into a blue blurr. Have they managed to keep the color separation of the alt-mode in robot mode, I would have liked it much better... still better than Starcream tho.

[@angusau9738]

I am really looking forward if they do a skywarp with this mold

[@theblackcrusader2195]

The blue makes the seeker mode pop

[@AFCManUk]

Okay, these look nice and all, but rather than produce more of these, WHEN are we going to get reissues of Earthrise Ramjet and Thrust?!!?!?!! We got a Dirge reissue/pack refresh in Legacy (Thank you Hasbro!), but these other two coneheads haven't been re-released yet, and cost a fortune on the secondary market! So yeah, Earthrise Ramjet and Thrust reissues FIRST please, Hasbro!

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

Earthrise Ramjet is getting a reissue in the last wave of Legacy United.

[@martinhulk12]

Visually I think I like starscream the most because his color scheme is my favoriteof the seekers, but I own Skywarp and I love it. His colors work so much better in person, and the segmented cockpit in bot mode is actually color matched well unlike the others.

[@vision4860]

I think Thundercracker's color scheme is just way more impactful than Thrust's. Also my Thrust's Null Rays are very loose so... not a fan of that.

[@vision4860]

Honestly I wish we got Skywarp instead of Thrust, and just get the green boy later. We'd have the main trio by now.

The only thing I am not really digging on this is the little gas canisters sticking out of the battle mask (I know it's the Blitzwing head mold) and feel like it be like a great in between of BB Blitzwing and BB Starscream. Keep the BB Blitzwing head mold, just remove the gas canisters (cylinders, I know it's meant to be like a real world respirator or gas mask). And if you really want it to be like a respirator or gas mask, just either make them rectangular (as opposed to cylinders) or just a circular thing in the middle with the Starscream mouth underneath.

I didn't notice it before, but the transformation is very similar to Zeta Toys Flash aka Blitzwing in that the arms hide beneath the plane mode and the legs make up most of the body which you then split in half, turn 180° and hide the tail of the jet inside the shins.
