Transformers Generations Thrust

[Omegamaster006]

Nice, I noticed you got 3 of them are Seekers team. Are there Skywrap toy like those? He is my favorite.

[fxfranz]

@Omegamaster006

yes there is a skywarp, but it was released as part of a 2-pack with ultra magnus. impossible to get one at a decent price. it's going for ridiculously high prices online

[chishenron]

gusto ko nito

[raineman73]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but if you put one of his missle launchers in the top of his fist and the other launcher in the bottom hole on his fist, it looks like a big double-barreled hand weapon.

[fxfranz]

@raineman73

cool

[bombardierdude15]

wow! u totally put hankei down xD

[fxfranz]

@bombardierdude15

i just thought this one was better

[RetroGamer3]

Looks great. I went to ToysRus and saw they had a sale on these Transformers for $10.00 each. I got 10 of them and Thrust was one. Great toy.

[fxfranz]

@RetroGamer3

nice! over here there're still at (approximately)  $16.25 a pop :-(

[TrueNomadSkies]

Easily one of my favorite transformers that I own, and had I not seen your video, I might not have bought him when I did.

+rep

[fxfranz]

@TrueNomadSkies

cool

[steve2275]

i prefer the original red

[fxfranz]

@steve2275

ok.

[Drewnhossle]

Are the Generations toys going to look like the G1 figures.

[fxfranz]

@Drewnhossle

ok.

[souldealer2]

how do you fix a loose hole for the missle launcher on thrust

[fxfranz]

@souldealer2

no idea, sorry mate

[holsson85]

@souldealer2 If the launcher pegs in loosely you can try adding a little nailpolish/paint/superglue on the inside. Same can be used to fix loose balljoints. ;)

[tatt4music]

@souldealer2 just use a little crazy glue on the post of the missile launcher.Or nail varnish.

[souldealer2]

im looking for a dark mount a dirge and a soundwave was dirge even releast in canada

[fxfranz]

@souldealer2

i hope you find them

[MrGoldTurtle]

Great review btw ~

[fxfranz]

@MrGoldTurtle

thanks :-)

[MrGoldTurtle]

I passed up this guy, and I regret it. Thrust was tempting to buy, but I decided to save up for a more 'bankable' character. The stores are now 'Thrust-free' and RTS won't be in for weeks (in my area). I succumbed to temptation and bought Dirge, but I wish I also had Thrust. They complete each other.

[fxfranz]

@MrGoldTurtle

cool.

try other stores, you might get lucky.

[souldealer2]

@MrGoldTurtle yea all the toys yous r us stores in edmonton have shelves stocked with thrust bummble bee optimus prime drift and red alert and iwas lucky to find megatron now i am looking for dark mount but if u still need a thrust i can hook u up

[MrGoldTurtle]

@souldealer2

Sounds great, but I ended up buying Thrust from eBay several weeks ago. Thanks for the offer though, I really appreciate it ;) I hope you find Darkmount. He use to be common here in Australia. But nowadays he's very hard to find. If you're want him for the alt-mode or transformation, perhaps Skullgrin might be a good Substitute. Can you find Skullgrin in your area?

[fxfranz]

@souldealer2

dude you live in edmonton? i bought a lot of my first TFs ( G1 figures back then ) in Edmonton.  before TRU became big, back in the 80s there was Toy City. i was going there since the 3rd grade.

[veccttoorrmaan]

The turbines DDOO spin

[fxfranz]

@veccttoorrmaan

yup, realized that after.

thanks :-)

[jamesshadowlordtv]

i like ramjet better than thrust but still a cool guy and whats thrust and ramjet without dirge

[fxfranz]

@jamesshadowlordtv

yup

[jamesshadowlordtv]

@fxfranz lol is yep all you say

[jamesshadowlordtv]

got to love the seekers there all the same model bassically but we love them because of it and they all have diffrent personalitys

[fxfranz]

@jamesshadowlordtv

yup

[KiraYamato636]

omg it's starscream get him it's basically a remodel of him besides the pint thing on the head you can flip it down

[fxfranz]

@KiraYamato636

ok.

[Zendrix3]

has him as a 'easy level' for transforming. U agree?

[fxfranz]

@Zendrix3

yup

[PiperMMMMMMMMMM]

I must have it! he's my favorite too

[fxfranz]

@PiperMMMMMMMMMM

cool

[vncsanchez]

Please fix your mic settings or get a different one. They way it's picking up your "s's" is really sharp and quite irritating. Otherwise, good video!

[fxfranz]

@vncsanchez

sorry.

there are not settings for the mic on my camera (it's built in)

my bad, i'm speaking directly into the camera as i lean forward to manipulate the figure.

i'll try to do better in future vids

[ultratron562]

have you noticed they put the wings on the rong side

[fxfranz]

@ultratron562

yes, i suppose

[9mandazi9]

@fxfranz should i get this guy, ROTF sideways or ROTF barricade?

[fxfranz]

@9mandazi9

get all 3 in that order

[MrSoundwave64Z]

Lol pinhead

[fxfranz]

@MrSoundwave64Z

yup

[killswitchpro]

itz funny cuz i first saw diz video the day after i bought hym i found hym in toysrus n they were loaded like literally juz stockd piled of dem....I LUV HYM!

[fxfranz]

@killswitchpro

cool

[Gridseeker]

Got it today for 30 bucks in my country! (Chile) Really, that´s one of the best figures of the all Generations line and more cool than the Botcon version! Now I am waiting eagerly Dirge and Red Alert!

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

@Gridseeker Cool! : D I just got Thrust a few days ago, and he's pretty sweet! And it's funny, Red Alert and Dirge also tops my list for soon to be released stuff!

[Gridseeker]

@EvelTwinOfSlogmaster Yeah, he is pretty sweet and I am afraid it will be rare very soon so I feel myself really lucky to got it! I hope Hasbro will release again Thundercracker next year.

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

@Gridseeker Yes. Thundercracker is the only one of basic seekers at this point that would cost too much for many people's budget. I would be surprised if there's never a widely available release for him. I think the demand is strong enough to warrant it. : )

I guess Transformers aren't so easy to obtain in Chile? I hope you have the best of luck in your collecting then! : ) This should be a fun hobby, after all.

[Gridseeker]

@EvelTwinOfSlogmaster Yep, Thundercracker is one of the most difficult figures of the Universe-Classic lines and yeah, I think it will be stupid if Hasbro doesn´t release again it. Good moldes and repaints as Thrust and Dirge are always welcome and sell very well, that´s the lesson learn Hasbro with Thrust and Dirge.

Yep, in my country is not easy to find some figures (even Universe 2.0 was available in stores, I never saw Ratchet for example the just the last week arrives the HOTD line).

[Gridseeker]

@EvelTwinOfSlogmaster THanX! Yeah, I hope one day to complete the entire Classics, Universe, MP and Generations line (it doesn´t mean I will get every figure of every lines, just those I consider worth to buy). Collecting is really a very fun hobby as you said, I like to collect not only Transformers G1 but also other figures like movie and video games related characters (I have some NECA and McFarlane figures). BTW, sorry for the duoble post!

[fxfranz]

@Gridseeker

awesome

[ultratron562]

out here in the us he is a pretty easy to find

[fxfranz]

@ultratron562

right now, he's flooded our retail shelves as well.

[BlacknRedTed]

I just picked this guy up today and I am really impressed. I got skywarp in that classics 2 pack wit ultra magnus a few years a ago, and I really like the seeker mold, and I like the fact they they are making the cone heads different from each other wit the wings, and not just a different color like the regular seekers. I got ramjet coming in the mail, and I cant wait for dirge to get released here and I will have all the cone head seekers.

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

@BlacknRedTed Absolutely agree! Hasbro could have gone the lazy route because, honestly, you could make coneheads from the mold of the three original seekers. Instead, they're truly homaging the G1 versions of the coneheads, with individual wings and such. : )

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

@EvelTwinOfSlogmaster Actually, I take that back. Playing around with Starscream right now, doesn't really seem the "conehead" thing is possible. But still, the retooled wings are a bit unexpected today.

[78ken78]

at my local toysrus.. i saw transformers generation toy.. cybertronian optimus, bumble bee, drift n thrust.. which one is most worth the value buying??

[fxfranz]

@78ken78

they're all worth buying

but get them in this order: drift, thrust, OP, BB

[CharlieC213]

@fxfranz what about the bumblebee with the axe were does he fit in?

[d00mfan89]

Dirge will be released in a future wave of the Generations line

[fxfranz]

@d00mfan89

yup

[tatt4music]

I just got this guy today! the jet mode is good .But man!!! The robot mode looks amazing! You really have to see it in person to understand.Something about the paint apps and the chrome cockpit really makes him stand out in robot mode.The wings are a little too thin so you have to be careful with those.otherwise a ten out of ten as far as seekers go. The thrusters do spin its just a little difficult to get them to do so.

[fxfranz]

@tatt4music

oh yeah. very good points

[iramrd]

Just got this guy today. Can't wait for dirge to be released next month. I'm really glad that I didn't find the henkei cone heads when I was hunting them whenever we go abroad and didn't cave in when I saw them on ebay. 

[fxfranz]

@iramrd

cool

[loo187]

love the figure im only missing dirge cant wait for the release here in manila =)

[fxfranz]

@loo187

cool

[GrehgTube]

they wont come out with another dirge because dirge came out in the ramjet mold at botcon

[fxfranz]

@GrehgTube

Hasbro had the new dirge figure on display at their booth at SDCC 2010. the new hasbro dirge is a repaint of the henkei dirge by TakaraTomy

[manfr0mmanila]

Just want to ask what the normal Philipine peso price on ROTF Deluxe class?

[fxfranz]

@manfr0mmanila

PhP700. or about $14 to $15

[manfr0mmanila]

@fxfranz your probably a wealthy man living there. I just move here five years ago. thanks so much for your reply. your doing good in your reviews, keep it coming.

[fxfranz]

@manfr0mmanila

thanks, but i'm not wealthy. i just try and save up for my toy collecting hobby. also it helps that i have a very supportive wife

[adamagnus]

does your Thrust have a little bit of paint missing at the tip of the nosecone to reveal a little bit of maroon? just curious....

[fxfranz]

@adamagnus

nope. the paint apps are fine

[ladiesman777777]

yes i agree, hasbro needs dirge seeker, i would buy it i like dirge.

[fxfranz]

@ladiesman777777

cool

[runescape228]

Thrust is very nice! Looking forward to Dirge actually!

I'm not sure they'll redo Thundercracker for this line unless they jazz up his colour scheme like they did with Classics Starscream (i.e. an not entirely show accurate deco).

[fxfranz]

@runescape228

cool. let's hope so

[DEMOLISHOR1234]

i got this guy, want dirge and just waiting for ramjet lol

also i really hope they do a thundercracker,skywarp and sunstorm

[fxfranz]

@DEMOLISHOR1234

cool

[GrehgTube]

@DEMOLISHOR1234 i doubt that would happen because hasbro released dirge and thundercraker at botcon exclusive and sunstom possible but skywarp thundercraker and dirge hav already been realeased by hasbro in exclusives so i doubt they will hav a re release

[nightslash3535]

Did the cockpit retained the Henkei's chrome?

[fxfranz]

@nightslash3535

i'm not sure. i don't have the henkei version

[allancamarillo]

Got mine also :). I hope they release the other variants. Any news Franz?

[fxfranz]

@allancamarillo

cool

wave 2 will have Megs and Darkmount (Straxus)

wave 3 will have Soundwave and Red Alert

wave 4 will have Dirge and Blurr

each wave will have previously released TFG figures as part of the assortment

check out bigbadtoystore for the complete listings and tentative release dates

[exiaaltronus05]

I finally got mine, and guess what, I LOVE IT!

[fxfranz]

@exiaaltronus05

nice !

[shadowninja4]

I couldn't afford the Henkei version because it was soooo expensive. Good thing they released it through Generations and I'm glad I got me one. So far the only seekers I have in the Universe toyline is Acidstorm. Now I have Thrust who is one of my favorite conehead seekers. =D

[fxfranz]

@shadowninja4

cool

[idiotecha]

shortpacked ba 'to sa atin, sir? or lalabas ba sa retail?

[mar171976]

available na ito sa mga sm toy kingdom and toys r us. hanap ka lang branch na may stock. d2 sa sm muntinlupa meron pa.

[fxfranz]

@mar171976

yup

[fxfranz]

@idiotecha

nope.

dami nang stock na lumabas sa retail nito pati si Drift, OP, at BB

[idiotecha]

@fxfranz oo nga. naka-score na rin ako. quite possibly the best Classics seeker fig - the upcoming Dirge toy doesn't look too hot.

[fxfranz]

@idiotecha

nice. glad you got one.

parang ok naman yung Dirge. eksaktong repaint nung henkei version.

pero we'll see when it comes out. baka nga pangit sa personal

[idiotecha]

@fxfranz

ah ganun ba? sa preview pics, the wings seem too plain on the underside, IMO. sa ibabaw naman, parang alanganin yung stripes. hope they change the paint apps at the last minute. sayang kasi eh, nice remold.

[exiaaltronus05]

LOADS better that the Henkei version!

[fxfranz]

@exiaaltronus05

definitely ! i glad i passed up on those uber-expensive Takara toys

[shadowninja4]

Im gonna get this guy and WFC Optimus tomorrow. Ha! killing 2 birds with 1 stone. >=D

[fxfranz]

@shadowninja4

cool

[skirm123]

Good review. Cant wait to pick mine up in the next couple days.

[fxfranz]

@skirm123

thanks :-)

cool

[optimus1497]

hasbro did somthing right with generations im impressed

[fxfranz]

@optimus1497

yup

[jaiden123WET]

i just got this guy yesterday and i only have one look problem and that is the hle in the chest during jet mode but i just fill it with lego peices for "bombs" oh and one other thing the jet thrusters do spin but only if you twist the proppelors with your finger like with your nail to pull it along

[fxfranz]

@jaiden123WET

cool

thanks :-)

[bulkhead15]

[iramrd]

Do you know which wave generations dirge will be released?

[fxfranz]

@iramrd

no idea

[Breanainn]

A Retail Classics Thrust: About 13$.

Trolling the people who already bought the Botcon and/or Ganbo exclusives: Priceless.

Now give us a Thundercracker and Dirge. And a Sunstorm. And well fuckit, I'll keep buying versions of this mold no matter who they're supposed to be.

[fxfranz]

@Breanainn

LOL

[eyongrobotreplica]

thanks a lot!

[fxfranz]

@eyongrobotreplica

[fxfranz]

@illiniguy34

the figure yes. the g1 character--so so

[eagc7]

man i rly need this figure, i never had any previous releases of this mold

[fxfranz]

@eagc7

this is a good figure to begin with if you plan on getting the seekers

[eagc7]

@fxfranz Yup, i rly want the G1 seekers

[loo187]

bro where did get this? awesome

[fxfranz]

@loo187

R-Toys

2nd Floor V-Mall

Greenhills Shopping Center

San Juan City NCR Philippines

[jaket011]

eto hinihitay ko eh, wala pa din sa sm!!

[fxfranz]

@jaket011

i'm sure malapit na. konting pasensya na lang

[urmomisahobbo]

is that figure already in stores

[Moviestarscreamrulez]

I got him yesterday :)

I really wish I had more classic seekers like Starscream!

[fxfranz]

@Moviestarscreamrulez

cool!

i'm sure you already got your hands on the Leader Class Starscream by now :-)

[Halo34Prime]

Hasbro should be making a Skywarp and Thundercracker for Generations

[fxfranz]

@Halo34Prime

i hope so

[Gridseeker]

@Halo34Prime Amen! Maybe the next year Hasbro would re release them. This year Generations is full with G1 figures (Jazz, Perceptor, Scourge and maybe later Kup and Cosmos) but yeah I am waiting this day. Also a re relase of Ultra magnus would be nice.

[metalheadprime2]

excellent review...

[fxfranz]

@metalheadprime2

thanks :-)

[SaxoRocks]

Lolz I don't like this design, try imagine a jet with a face under its nose-cone, yuck

[fxfranz]

@SaxoRocks

ok.

didn't you ever watch the Transformers cartoons back in the 1980s ?

[medabotsoundwave]

good thing i got him today!

[fxfranz]

@medabotsoundwave

cool

[Moviestarscreamrulez]

Saw him, but left him for Generations+War for Cybertron Bumblebee and Prime.

You should look into those two.

[fxfranz]

@Moviestarscreamrulez

i will, once they come out in retail out here in Manila. the supplier of Hasbro products has delayed the retail release of the first waves of the 2010 TF toys because they want to have an event this weekend to "launch" the new toys. it's the most stupid and ridiculous idea i've ever heard of.

as a business man, if i have new products the quicker i can get it on shelves the faster the turnaround of my money/capital.

[fxfranz]

@Moviestarscreamrulez

storing items in a warehouse means money that's "asleep" and not churning.

in business school parlance--that's called inventory--cash strapped to products not moving.

anyway, that's how it is out here. everytime there's a new set of toys that are coming out in bunches. succeeding waves do get to retail fast and are no longer "launched" we'll probably get the same treatment for the TF 3 movie toys, coz that's what happened last year with the ROTF toys.

[Moviestarscreamrulez]

@fxfranz

hm... Thats disappointing, but you'll make it!

[ronqwerty47]

have you seen the news? hasbro is also releasing Dirge! now I,m feeling sorry for my friend who bought the Henkei Thrust and Dirge. 8k un eh!

[fxfranz]

@ronqwerty47

nice! can't wait

[illiniguy34]

looks like a classics figure.

[fxfranz]

@illiniguy34

the body is based off of the classics seeker mold

[allancamarillo]

Awesome review there. I hope it's still available at Rtoys. How much did it cost you?

Oh yeah, I've seen you vid at TF2005.

[fxfranz]

@allancamarillo

i think the last piece had already been bought at R-Toys.

don't worry, i'm sure this guy will pop up during the TF Autobot Alliance toy launch in SM Makati on June 19-20 2010. try your luck there

yup, thanks :-)

[gaanch]

DO A GENERATIONS DRIFT REVIEW, HES GONNA BE AN AWSOME FIGURE!

[fxfranz]

@gaanch

i've done one. check it out on my channel

[getteranime]

wow, where did you get that? on ebay?

[fxfranz]

@getteranime

nope, off a hobby shop here in Manila

[iramrd]

I think your the first person to review this figure. I saw this vid on tfw2005.

[fxfranz]

@iramrd

really? awesome! :-)

[ultratron562]

are you gona get generations red alert when it comes out
