Title:
Thundercracker 1st Activator
Description:
Thundercracker (Activator, 2008)
TakaraTomy ID number: TA-24
Part of the third wave of Activators, Thundercracker is a redeco of Starscream, transforming into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter and the YF-19 "Alpha One from the series Macross Plus. Like all Activators, he has a spring-loaded autotransformation from vehicle to robot mode. The actual toy is closer to violet-purple than the production photos make him out to be, and the overall colour scheme is not very close to the animation model. However, it’s STILL vastly superior to any other toy in the Activators line.
Thundercracker also had a release in Japan in 2010. Other than the new & glorious packaging compared to the inferior Hasbro release, those foolish toymakers did not deck him out in some better looking shiny metallic paint, but instead gave him a pair of ugly white-bordered classic Decepticon insignias, replacing the all-gold insignias.
This mold was also used to make Dirge, Skywarp and Ramjet, but their toys aren’t near as worthy to be bought as Thundercracker’s is.
