Generations THUNDERWING

[8bitPikachu]

mine has a missassembly

[PivotMMZ]

massive power level? was it OVER 9000?

[adingdong]

Man i miss this intro song. =(

[edoggz20111]

Starscream and all of the jets should have been a little taller. A tall Deluxe like Igear's Faith leader prime figure because all of my other are out of scale with the planes.

[KyngMegz]

Excellent Toy Review man!

[PrimalFlash202b]

had the matrix? oh no sir i think you mean has the matrix! MWAHAHAHAHA! And it's all thanks to that delinquent Hot Rod! JK but seriously it's his fault.

[100bubblez]

i have mud flat optimus prime ironhide powor powerglide

[pheonixfiresifi3]

i got my thunderwing at wal mart it was busted open and the instructions were missing i got it anyway it was in perfect condition and i transformed in the car on the way home without instructions

[allsparkmagnus]

galvatron repaint



[boogerman908]

@allsparkmagnus no..?

[Izayoiaki24]

Funny story: the original toy's redeco, Black Shadow, IS a phase-sixer, while IDW Thunderwing isn't really affiliated with either faction.

[the1andonlyprettyg]

This one looks way better than the original G1 toy. I'm using him as Darkmounts Right Hand mech in my upcoming series.

[TheCastellan]

There any lock in for the chest, or just flip it down and hope for the best?

[StupidPandaFilms]

why have they not brought back he pretenders

[Dwnshifter]

I didn't notice this till a few weeks after I had tossed the recipt but the gun mounts in the wings have stress points and I have read a few reviews that my thunder wing isn't the only example to have come from the factor with this problem.

The other problem is the shoulder gunes kill articulation. Otherwise thunderwing is a good figure. I may buy another one in the hopes it won't have the damned stress points.

[guncannon109]

He looks like the X-10A Freedom G.U.N.D.A.M.

[superspecky4eyes]

I had the Pretender version of this, it was such a POS.

[rokrman20]

Hm... for some reason, his wings evoke images of the original Wing Gundam's wings. Certainly not in coloration, but just in their overall shape.

[linda04364]

But let's face it, we never saw his robot mode outside of the shell in the comics, anyway

[godginrai1]

What is the size comparison to windcharger

[neoshade123]

is there anyway to get the ultra mode just picked him up

[Shockguey]

The drone reminded me of Skeets, so I just use a di:stage to pose him in the air upright next to him.

[jamesshadowlordtv]

@Shockguey the drone reminds me of bustergolds drone guy whos name is

[jamesshadowlordtv]

i past this guy up because i was looking for lugnut ugh i should have got him

[jamesshadowlordtv]

@jamesshadowlordtv well i finally got :) but sadly still no lugnut :( why

[GeorgedIDK]

I can't decide whether to buy this or Transformers Cybertron Skywarp.

[joshmcc36313]

can you fit the drone on his hand?

[themasterofalllegos]

how did you get so famous on youtube

[rodster6]

I wish he was the same height as Straxus or WFC Megatron.

[PassionTentacle]

Is there some way to avoid the black spikes on his shoulders totally inhibiting his arm movement? Side to side is fine, but he can't move his arms forward at all without smashing into his wings.

[MrNinoslow]

nice review and awesome figure i just got mine today by BBTS

[JonathanRPeluso]

Thunderwing reminds me SOOO much of Wing Zero! The wings...the legs...the hip armor...the guns....

[thedarkknight081]

do you know when black shadow comes out?

[albizarroraven23]

PEAUGH WILL YOU BE GETTING THE SKULLGRIN COMING OUT?

[UnholyJesus181]

It takes a little force, but his hands can actually hold the missiles, so he can have a more accurate-looking gun, and also some sort of energy club. I call the club Helmsplitter, but that's just me.

[jaket011]

is this toy a voyeger class?

[transformerschandler]

@jaket011 no its a deluxe

[darkshad0500]

and he's black. is that racist???? (j/k)

[darkshad0500]

damn. you beat me to it.

[NightmareZerogbs]

have you tried tabbing only one of the tabs of each gun on the drone, so that you can attach both to it?

I don´t know if I made much sense :S

[sb0220]

i got him on friday along with wfc cliffjumper

[Skullshadow99]

...The drone is a homage to thunderwing's robot.

[TheTrueMoristhecat]

His transformation... it's to die for.

[dolzakhyron]

any one else want to see him repainted as dinobot? lol

[awesomeprime742]

hey peaugh, are you planning on getting black shadow and the animated black rodimus?

[hthvjd]

Dammit! Why doesn't this Thunderwing drone form a limb?!

[grimlock122]

this should have a leader. we could have ultra mode as a backpack. and then we get leader BLACKSHADOW!

[chalon111]

is he able to hold drift"s big sword? pls reply...

[CathodeAddict]

Nice. If you turned the drone upside down in robot mode would it make his Black Shadow head?

[CathodeAddict]

Nice.

[CrimsomS]

He looks fantastic, and I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this, but Thunderwing would make a great Dinobot re-deco.

[DevilJussi666]

Those really look like gundam shins, I wonder if there is a possibility to shove a minibot inside his chest cavity in robot mode to... Pretend he's a pretender? =)

[gigator39]

hasbro is gonna murder my wallet this year. another one i have to have.

[goodfello426]

i think they are doin a great job remaking these pretenders

[drakozero8]

is this figure out yet Mr peaugh like can i get it at toys r us?

[razorblademask]

Well not much for transformation, but he doesn't look too bad.

[maxxxxsolo]

Cool vid.

[T3c4x3r0]

I like that before you reveal his legs or chest/head he looks like a "classic" robot. Extra points for that

[rayth26]

Definitly going to pick this one up...if i can ever find wave 2+ in stores

[landmind666]

@rayth26 good im not the only one still not finding wave of generation

[windrazor2003]

@rayth26 same here

[troyburger]

sigh... looks like silverbolt 3.0... prolly wont get this guy either...

[NCC63549]

dam hes fucking cool!

[allycliftonsucks]

do you plan to get the wave 3 powercore combiners like that tank or the jet new molds?

[AWZ117]

@allycliftonsucks they're just repaints. nice ones though

[peaugh]

@allycliftonsucks Definitely getting the new tank, jet and boat

[9mandazi9]

@peaugh i love how they added the drone plane like the g1 toy. awesome review.

[digioverlord]

What class is he?

[Toydude1984]

Wow, can't wait for this guy! He looks awesome, I wonder what Black Shadow be like? On that note, what do you think the new name will be for Black Shadow, since that seems like a really generic name, they probably won't be able to trademark it?

[frenzyXprime]

Energon Starscream did you get some plastic surgery? You look different.... Hmmmmm do I get him now or do I wait and get Black Shadow?

[jlogano20]

nice figure can't wait for this and the black shadow repaint!

[Trellious]

How do you get these so early? I am still looking to get some of the items you reviewed early summer! Ebay?

[jlogano20]

@Trellious this is on kotoys

[Trellious]

@jlogano20 Thanks for the heads up!

[megatron103]

I wish they would bring back the classics voyager/ leader class this guy would be tits if he was the same size as classic jetfire or megatron or energon shockwave for that matter

[DevilJussi666]

Kinda looks like gundam shins. I wonder if you could shove a minibot inside the chest cavity in robot mode to... pretend his a pretender ? =)

[TFORMER84]

Black Shadow doesn't seem like a bad repaint to honor old times, but let's go back a little further and make a "DEVCON" repaint. Thumbs up if you agree! This would be a sweet mold for him.

[crescentdarklight]

You make me want him after showing that little drone coming off.

[risinglycan]

i wanna start reading the comics but dont know where to start. suggestions?

[gavinfuzzy]

Nice... but holding off for black shadow...

[confuzedcharles]

I think a sodacan-transformer comparison is much better than a transformer-transformer comparison.

[JasonTheX]

Kinda disappointed cause he's very much like Silverbolt with the whole jet on the back of a robot. But he's still pretty cool.

[anguirusfan26]

would you buy an add on for this to make him bigger?

[GreycatRademenes]

Awesome! I really like this guy and can't wait to get him.

Though it'd be so awesome if he was made Ultra Class. We'd get a more complex transformation and a Legends class (or maybe even scout) drone :3>

[BigLumpyTool]

I have his original pretender form, and this is a great homage to him. Also I like how you used a coke can for comparison. It actually helped me to imagine how big this guy is. Not bashing how you ussually do your comparisons. But about 50% of the time you copmare firgures against other figures I don't have, so I really have no clue. I think you should use everyday household items all the time.

[Mecha82]

Thats very nice looking new version of the Thunderwing.

[RodimusMinor1987]

I realy want him also the Black Shadow Repaint looks awesome

[AutovoltGTS]

can't wait to get Thunderwing!!!!

[RodimusMinor1987]

@AutovoltGTS Me to

[transfan1988]

I´m so happy he does have a drone. Also I´m very excited about the Black Shadow redeco!

[MrNinoslow]

nice review and awsome figure i just preorder mine by BBTS release by November awesome

[jaxom]

oh. can you stash his drone inside his chest?

[ShadowPrintFilms]

he may not be the Stormbringer baddie that definitely needs a toy, but i do like this figure.

[doctorratchet]

Just curious, is there any way to attach the drone to his guns in robot mode?

[peaugh]

@doctorratchet None that I've found. The holes on the drone are too widely spaced to tab onto the posts on the guns.

[Optimusbee1000]

@doctorratchet no

[DrewsiferXXX]

these classics pretenders (I include ROTF Bludgeon in that) are shaping up nicely I think. I am curious about the head. is it just on a pivot? or can he look up and down?

[peaugh]

@DrewsiferXXX It's actually on a ball joint, but due to the cut of the neck post it only rotates side to side.

[jamesshadowlordtv]

@peaugh OMG his face reminds me of animated blitzwings face

[toarascus]

if he can blast planets away his power level must be over 9,000

[Phantom9252]

His vehicle mode looks kinda Macross-y to me

[bong264]

already loving this guy

[darthdevious]

I cannot wait till this guy shows up in stores, a definate must have. Might have to kitbash myself a corrupted Matrix lol

[Andulvar]

Someone should make a corrupted matrix for him

[pcwfan18]

" I forgot to bring a figure, so here he is next to a can of Coke". Haha lmao, priceless. Good save on showing the scale Peaugh.

[cazar4]

@pcwfan18 agreed!

[caecae222]

this video made me like this guy alot more.

[TheShardFenix]

ugh..im so torn on this guy. Like i love the thunderwing character, but for some unexplainable reason i just think ill be disappointed with the toy...

[ReGo001]

this is one of those figures ill have to see in person, not feeling it in video and picture form

[trewerd]

Its wierd but, I kinda don't like how you show the robot mode in your little intro. I feel it sorta spoils the "ending". But that's probably just me. Nice review.

[carnut015]

How cute, a mini drone to point out targets for him to obliterate. How precious! This guy is cool, though. 

[puntoue]

First

[jlogano20]

@puntoue nobody cares 

[piemanbegins]

@jlogano20

Not even the Carebears?
