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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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? =)
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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...
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.
