Thundercracker Robot Mode
Description:
Thundercracker (Deluxe Class, 2013)
Series / Number: 02 / #006
TakaraTomy release date: 2014-03-29
Accessories: Two assault cannons, tail-fin
Part of the sixth wave of 2012-onwards Generations Deluxe Class toys, Thrilling 30 Thundercracker is a redeco of Generations: Fall of Cybertron Starscream, and transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled cannons which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the Neutron assault rifle from Fall of Cybertron. Each of the weapon halves features two 5 mm posts, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Thundercracker features numerous 5 mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.
Thundercracker’s tail-fin is attached via a 5 mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle’s top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.
Thundercracker is minimally mis-transformed in-package: his jet mode nosecone is extended, rather than folded in as it should be in robot mode. He comes packaged with a copy of IDW’s Spotlight: Thundercracker.
Despite using a mold and deco matching Thundercracker’s appearance in War for Cybertron, this toy technically represents G1 Thundercracker, thanks to his IDW pack-in fiction. Consequently, the toy is listed in the former’s page as a repurposing. This toy was also utilized as Cloud Thundercracker and was also redecoed into TakaraTomy Fall of Cybertron Skywarp as well as Thrilling 30 Skywarp. Compared to the Starscream and Skywarp versions however, Thundercracker’s joints are considerably looser for reasons unknown.
