So I'm wondering...

| 5 Comments

So I'm wondering if fanboys are going to whine and moan if they don't get a Skywarp now that a Thundercracker is being done.

I can't tell if the head is retooled or not.

Hah! That'll be the Botcon 2008 exclusive!

I guess the head and colors are all right. I just don't like this design at all. All that jointing and motion, and you get an awkward robot and a plane that's no sleeker than G1 Darkwing.

Heck, C-Thundercracker is a lot simpler, and though his robot mode is a little strange, at least he's quite sleek and kibble-free as a plane.

I can't really think of any other real-life vehicle Transformer without an action gimmick to work around that didn't have at least one reasonably good mode.

Wheeee, Autobus Prime!

Love this guy. :)

Personally, I don't think we'll see that much argument for a Skywarp. The fans are already getting their Seeker-fix this year; plus the seemed to have rather mixed feelings about the movie and movie designs.

That is a retooled head though, and the reaction seems to be, one that is much more appealing than Starscream's crab-face. Figures. :P

It's a TF line, right? Repaints were inevitable.

All the same, I'll not line up in order to not spend money on this, sure.

I'd probably get this over the original bland colored Starscream ...

JOP:

Uh, Thundercracker and I love you too...not sure who you were referring to...:)

In a completely non-homosexual way of course...well, I can't speak for Thundercracker. Hmm...do you suppose old TC's sadistic streak might have indicated certain, ah, repressed tendencies in his character? Probably not.

I do agree that this TC's head looks better than Starscream's, which I can (alternately) see as a insectoid-crab thing or a cartoon Genghis Khan with a big droopy 'stache. I suppose TC's cartoon voice might sound decent coming from this guy, since he was mostly a generic thug. Still, I don't want to fall into the trap of convincing myself to buy something I don't find appealing just because it's a Transformer. Not good for the budget is that.

I can certainly understand you leaving the Allspark, JOP. It's too easy to waste time there, though it was all kinds of fun, geeking threads to death. I've quit doing that. I find that I can't really speak freely there. Say "I think movie Megatron looks like spaghetti" and you get Pounded With A Giant Mallet...oh well.
