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

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.

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.

0:08 PLEASE DO MORE OPENINGS LIKE THIS ITS SO COOL

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.

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…

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.

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

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

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

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.

That intro went crazy

that intro was clean af..

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

"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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ok, that stop motion intro was cool

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

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

I'm planning to get the Blitzwing

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.

That transformation was awesome!

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

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

Yoo the intro was clean! And I was lucky enough to buy one Thrust on discount and another on an even bigger discount, so I've got two of him 😁 Gonna customise one of them!

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

i want this guy as a blitzwing repaint as well

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.

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 😞

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

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

first studio series i get, first TF figure in years, and i didn't expect it to be this good - if this is a sign of what the studio series is like in general, i might collect a lot more of these than i anticipated

I preffer thrust, I like the armada references they put on him

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.

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

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.

Are you getting skywarp? cause i am

Found Thrust in GAME, but didn’t buy it till yesterday when it got down to £19.99, pretty good deal

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.

I dont do movie stuff, just a preference, but this and that studio series arcee have broken that, they both look LOVELY

Like how you did the transformation for thundercracker at the beginning

Trust did, the color layout is good.

I only have the Thrust version of the mold, and I have to say, he's probably my favorite seeker figure that I have, at least in terms of non-MP scale

The stop motion part was awsome!!!

The blue makes the seeker mode pop

I Have Thrust!

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

Wake me when they make Sunstorm.

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

That intro has to become standard.

I picked up thundercracker after this review, so worth it!

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.

Hasbro give us Skywarp please I beg of you

I don’t have the mold yet but definitely getting this, that color scheme just pops

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!

I already have BBM Starscream, and I’m going to get Thundercracker. All I’m waiting for is a Skywarp repaint

That intro was fire

We are missing 6 seekers from the bb movie including a cybertron mode blitzwing and im looking forward for bb movie skywarp and i really hope they make them im looking forward for my Thundercracker he will arrive nex week

im thinking of getting starscream and also getting thundercracker, but only if a skywarp is ever released, so I can have a seeker squad in my con collection.

I absolutely dislike how the "tetrajet" alt mode was executed. The real kicker for me is the nosecone.

That pyramid tips Thrust into being my favorite. But I have every version of this mold so far. Well, I will. TC is on PO and don't ship until Nov.

I remember getting Starscream and it just blew me away. I missed out on Thrust but considering how cheap he is, I'll get him eventually. The same for Thundercracker here. Never completed a seeker trio, but BB made me compelled to do it now. Also, quick note: The stripe on the top wing isn't fully painted. My OCD is kicking in rn lol.

Thrust is one of my favorite transformers ever he just looks so cool I kinda want to get the others as well, but transformers are getting expensive, and i’d rather get new molds rather than the same experience in other colors.

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.

I think thrust is better. He just has a presence that thundercracker doesn't to me

I agree with how fun this mold is to transform

IM STILL WAITING FOR A SKYWARP

I at least got Thrust. Love that figure

Hey, was gonna ask if you had a fix for the loose wingtips on Starscream and other Seekers? I ordered a Thundercracker and its really good but the loose wing tips are kinda throwing me off.

While i have 2 main qc issues, head has same problem as you but is super tight neck is ever so slightly off, and right wing bumper doesnt stop the wing from coming back in, but im gonna keep it how you have it, with both wings folded in

ey i gotta ask, i currently have thundercracker and i love it cus its so solid, but theres an ss blitzwing i can get for cheap bu ti can only keep one. which should i choose cus i really want blitzwing, but thundercracker is already good, help?

In love with my Thundercracker here, but I WISH his nosecone weren't prone to warping.

I like the extra paint on thundercracker a lot, but thrusts unique sculpt hits different

I wish they would make skywarp

I think Thundercracker is the best use of the mold, although I am VERY biased because hes my favorite seeker. on a side note, the jet mode colours remind me a lot of Timelines Ramjet, mostly just the wings

Both figures look decent, but for Thrust's part it would be even better if Hasbro gave him his signature turbine hands.

I just got all of them

I picked up Screamer secondhand and I knew I had to collect this mould before I regretted it.

What kind of display stand did you use?

He looks like a wraith from StarCraft, and now I want to customize one!

Just got Soundwave+Ravage, and the Seekers from the BB movie. I wish more of the Autobots were Voyager sized tho, because then I would consider buying them. The size differences between the two sides bugs me, it just seems so uneven lol

I never had SS shatter and dropkick, I know they're just a scout so they are small but I didn't expect it to be that small?? especially shatter since she's a jet.. what is her height, anyone tell me please..

This intro was sic, home boy

Hope they make a skywarp version

Skywarp will have to be made, but if i had any other seekers i wanted, definitely the teal one, maybe the teal conehead
