The featured button in this video is 1985's Generation 1 Thrust. Now, Thrust heading to toy shelves in 1985 more or less guaranteed his appearance in the animated television show. And Thrust made his debut in the Season 2 episode Dino Bot Island. Thrust was then a reoccurring character throughout all of Season 2 and parts of Season 3. No real stand out episodes that I could think of. But he did make quite an impact on Optimus Prime's grill in the 1986 Transformers movie. Thrust made his first appearance in Marvel Comics in issue number 17 where it was shown that on Cybertron he was one of Lord Straxxus enforcers. Thrust along with Durge and Ramjet finally arrived to Earth in issue number 21 via the Space Bridge to help Megatron with his attack on Hoover Dam. Now after issue 21, Thrust was just more or less a background character. And he made his last appearance in issue number 47 where he was flying some humans off of the Club Con Resort. So that's pretty much it with the history of Thrust. Now let's take a look at this awesome Generation 1 jet. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. In vehicle mode, Thrust is a maroon veto jet. And this jet mode looks awesome. This is one of my favorite Generation 1 jets. It just looks spectacular. Now this is an original Generation 1 Thrust and it is in perfect condition. One of the crown jewels in my Generation 1 collection other than you can see the missiles tend to launch out on their own. Now the sticker decals are toy hacks decals. When I got this guy, stickers were a little rough. Figure was immaculate. Stickers not so much. So those are toy hacks decals. And those were applied years ago and still look really, really good. I love the design of Thrust. The veto engines look really cool. You can see the jet intakes or the turbines there on the wings. Now Thrust's main body is the same as all the other seekers. They all use the star screen mold. The only difference is the wings here and the tail fins. Underneath the jet, unlike some of the more modern transformers, you can't really tell that Thrust is a robot underneath except for the visible head syndrome right there. Thrust also has landing gear. And underneath, as I kind of hinted at earlier, there is launching rockets. But thanks to toy safety laws, they really don't go anywhere. And that is pretty much it for Thrust in jet mode. Thrust has this tenet canopy right here that can open and close. That's mainly used for storage of the landing gear. So now let's get Thrust transformed into his robot mode. The first thing you want to do is remove the landing gear. And that goes right here for storage inside the cockpit. Make sure the wheels go in first and shut the cockpit. Then you're going to remove the wings. Thrust is a parts former. You're going to take the nose cone, bend that down, bring your fingers up and under and push these sections out and around. Now you're going to separate the nose cone, bend it down, feed it through and over bringing up the robot head down here on the bottom. Flip those out for the robot feet. Now we're going to attach Thrust's fist. He does have a right and left. So make sure you get the right ones attached. You've got the wings. You're going to take the launchers off and remove the missiles. Mine have already removed themselves. We'll go ahead and attach the wings right there. The pegs go in the holes there on the side, like so. Take the launchers and you're now going to attach these to the arms. There's one and the other. And now you're going to attach Thrust's knoll rays, which are these longer weapons. Those will slot right in and click into place. And there you have Thrust in robot mode. And I think Thrust looks great. The wings and new collar scheme really adds a lot to this figure. Now Thrust is the only one of the 1985 seekers that comes with the same weapons that the 1984 seekers had with the launchers, the longer weapons and these little cluster bombs. Now in the comics and cartoon, Thrust was always shown as a cone head. And you can get that look just by bringing the cone up like so. Now the official transformation is just like this. The same as Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp. But to be cartoon accurate, you leave the cone up. Now articulation for Thrust, he's a generation one figure. There's hardly any articulation. The arms can do a complete 360, but they will hit those wings right there. And the wings can be moved slightly. This long section here is going to hit the tail fins. So what you see is what you get with Thrust. What you get is awesome. I love the looks of this figure. I love the collar scheme. It just really works. He looks fantastic on the shelf. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is 1985's generation one Thrust with generation one Megatron, classics Thrust and Earthrise Ramjet. 1985's generation one Thrust is a fantastic generation one toy. I absolutely love the looks of this guy. The collar scheme is one of my favorites in the entire G1 line. Not to mention his jet mode is just awesome looking. One of my absolute favorite G1 figures. So there you go guys, 1985's generation one Thrust. So, does a generation one Thrust belong in your collection? Absolutely. This is a fantastic figure and a must have in your generation one collection. This is one of the most popular seekers and one I really can't wait to see in the new Earthrise line. The generation one Thrust, robot mode is okay, but it is generation one. This is a classic. The jet mode is fantastic. One of my absolute favorite jets. So yes, you see a Thrust, pick him up without hesitation, but be wary of all the different parts he comes with.
