I AM SOOO GLAD THE THRUSTERS CAN BE REMOVED! I hated where they put the thrusters. Thinking that if the thrusters could be put on top of the front wings, that would be a great improvement. It's not the Botcon version but now I'm looking forward to getting it more.

Agreed. I'm glad that I am not going to have to "make it happen" myself, kitbash it. I hate the lightning on it but thats easy enough to fix and I wish the smaller part of the wing wasn't part of the whole wing. Wonder if it flips up without scratching the sides?

Applied fire.

Common Sense = MAJOR PROFIT !!!

Hasbro Im begging you not to make the same mistake you did with Thundercracker...

Peace

I'm with you.

Hopefully, we'll see a Dirge and Thundercracker as well.

Actually, Thundercracker, Dirge and Thrust were all part of the botcon boxset so you are out of luck on seeing those three at retail.

Not entirely. Hasbro has already hinted at possibly bringing us these molds in the US at some point. Not the Botcon versions, but possibly the Henkei versions.

If Hasbro brings Henkei Thrust to the US market, I'll be on that the way I was on Cyclonus. (And it was a given when I saw confirmation that Cyclonus was coming that I'd get that one.)

I agree.

Probably as HTS exclusives. Hasbro isn't that dumb

I don't think it would be all that dumb to release them at retail (not all at once, of course) but I wouldn't have a problem with it if they were HTS exclusives. They probably wouldn't be priced more than $17 a figure, and I can deal with paying that much for them.

So can I.

not sure if this is a fact- or what- but i found it to be my frist actual date that may be a real date - still unsure- if they are coming soon! this was the link

I assume that Hasbro will be releasing these molds (Thrust n Dirge, poss Thundercracker) in the future. If Takara/Tomy uses them, then Hasbro should be able to use them as well, and I'm sure they know all about the cries from the 07 set. As for the paint apps and characters, I can see them possibly being new seekers if they arn't gonna call them Thrust and Dirge, but I am almost certain we will see these molds down the line.

Hell, I still want my Sunstorm Damnit!!!

It seems kinda late in the game for Hasbro to do them now. I suppose they might think it over again after TF2. Regardless, I'll be picking up these two from BBTS, and praying for a Sunstorm to finish out the set.

Did you guys catch that link I gave- for one of the online stores in the .UK. these guys are going to be in stock march 19th. there... I know they said they were due out in march-(had my pre order in with BBTS since oct.) but just nice to know the date now-when might the U.S. see there thurst and drige-????????????

90 % alcohol, careful painting if needed, and some Con stickers my man I think the Reprolabel set may fit IF I need it, gotta see though. It can be done, trust me
