Title:
Thundercracker (Toys R Us MP)
Description:
Masterpiece Thundercracker (2012)
Accessories: Two AIM missile racks, hologram pilot, Megatron gun clasp, display stand
A redeco of the newer Masterpiece MP-11 Starscream mold, Transformers Thundercracker features some extensive retooling to wind the Masterpiece Seeker design back into Kawamori’s original, more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, retooled shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered Incendiary Guns attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be removed for transformation.Other than the replaced incendiary guns, Thundercracker comes with all the accessories included with the previous releases of the mold, with Dr. Arkeville being replaced with the newer hologram pilot figurine. He features several whimsical tampographs, which include Thundercracker holding Soundwave in tape deck mode, Reflector in camera mode, ”D-24” (Thundercracker’s Japanese line designation), and various call outs to Hasbro designers, such as ”LTC Joe ’Big Daddy’ Kyde” and ”Cpt. J. ’Dragon’ Sass”. The stock photos of the figure (as shown to the right), however, show all-red Reflector tampographs on the front of his shoulders; on the actual production toy, Reflector appears in full color on the back of the shoulders (visible on the sides of Thundercracker’s jet mode), while the front of his shoulders features the Classics angled shoulder stripes, colored red to match his Generations figure.Curiously, the accessories, packaging, and instructions for Masterpiece Thundercracker are all specific to the older version of the mold (prior to the changes for MP-11 Starscream), and the packaging recycles the package art from Generations Thundercracker and features no pictures of the actual toy itself. The figure may have been intended for release with the older version of the Masterpiece Seeker mold before changes were made to use the newer version of the mold.
