I had a box when I got home, loaded YT and saw your review, clicked play Then I opened the box, and there's Thundertron looking at me knowing he's in a good place :D
fun fact for those that don't know thundertron was originally going to appear in season 3 of prime but he and his pirate mateys were ... replaced by predaking yeah it was a scrapped idea for season 3 i found while googling stuff
Yes man I got this guy last week and god I love him he's so fun and is such good quality, I had no idea who the character was but this toy looked so cool I had to pick it up and it made me want to know more about Thundertron😂
I wonder if those slots on the one shoulder pad are for the foot? The original toy's foot could turn into a parrot of sorts, so could this be a reference to that?
so funny thing... i had accidentally preordered 2 of them. so what ive begun to do with figures i have 2 of is do a custom repaint. you mentioning the blackbeard thing gave me an idea
I can see this being retooled/remolded into Cyberverse Thunderhowl and i get the feeling it might be that "thundertron" listed in the upcoming star seeker line.
When I was watching you transform it I got a feeling of de ja vu. I think this might make a decent Cybertron Overhaul, but I imagine it might be destined to be cyberverse thunderhowl.
good news for you because this year's amazon (cmiiw) exclusive is gonna be exactly that, the star seekers capsule which is a group of pirate transformers
honestly wouldn't mind this shelfwarming just a tiiiiiiiiiny bit, so that more people can grab him for cheaper 😁 but really I get your concern and I've always had the feeling that he'll be the jhiaxus of this wave, one of the best voyagers they've designed doesn't sell well because people don't know the characters. hope that doesn't put them off making these obscure characters though cuz again they've been going unfathomably hard even for them and it just results in excellent figures
Is balt's mic bad or is it my headset? Anyways good vid and honestly didn't think I'd be as interested into this guy as I find myself after seeing this
So far a lot of Legacy United is "Ok, that looks really neat, but why?" Like I love the original Prime Thundertron but to my knowledge he was a character invented during that time for the novelizations, partially because Hasbro had way too much blue plastic lying around and they needed to do something with it.
I really do love this guy. My monthly transformers budget is super tight these days. So much so, that I could only get 4 voyagers ths month, which is about half usual, well, maybe 2/3 usual. I had to be super picky. I got this guy, united animated Prime, also a banger! I got, gamer Starscream, and united Cybertron Starscream will be here Tuesday "cannot WAIT for that guy!" I gotta say, even though I only got 1 hot off the presses bot this month, all 4 I'm more than happy with. If I had to drop one of those 4, it'd have to be gamer screamer honestly. That's not to say he's a bad figure, nowhere remotely close, but the other 3 are just EPIC figures. Like figure of the year contenders, and it's only April. The top 10 lists at the end of the year, are gonna be wild! There have been very few "if any true" stinkers so far this year. It's a great time to be a plastic fiend! To think that I'd choose a figure I have absolutely NO clue about over a Starscream, who is my favorite charecter, really does speak to just how good this guy is.
I really want this figure but I have no idea where to get it over here in Australia. Its not available over amazon and I'm not using some toy sites anymore as they have burned me bad in the past.
considering he has a sword wouldn't he be a form of blade liger ... i would say liger zero schneider but we see that's an upgrade in the one series for one specific zoid
I totally hear you Votmatrix. It's a really amazing figure. Unfortunately I wasn't able to pre order him since I already had to many pre orders coming in at the same to justify him. So unfortunately its hunting him in the wild for me. 😢😢 I could see 2 possible crossover repaints/remolds coming out of this figure. The obvious one is a ZOIDS Liger figure that somehow got a transformation cog when Thundertron visited. And the other is a power ranger White Tiger Zord. Who needs Tommy when this kitty can kick Lord Zed's butt on his own terms/time. Heck go that one step further and say the sword Saba merged into the zord after coming in contact withe the matrix, all spark, or cybertrons core. ... Now that I think about it there might be 1 more possible crossover, but it'd need more reworking than the other 2. Redo him into the Voltron Black lion. It means adding his wings, whole new head for both modes, and maybe figuring a way to get the robot mode to look Voltron esk. But I could see it doing really well.
I really don't get the hate on this figure and character for one he's a transformering robot pirate with a peg leg that transformers into a liger zoid and in the retribution book he went toe to toe with Megatron and walked away from the fight , I mean any transformer character that is not Optimus, Grimlock , combiner or titan that can walk away from a fight with megatron definitely is a character I'm intrested in .
My biggest problem with this character is his name. It's sooo boring and stinks of placeholder remains. Like, why do new Transformers toys always stick to -tron, -con and -bot? There's more technology-based suffixes to have! Like -or from transistor! Thunderor - now that's a name! And works like a pun with the word "roar", too!
