Product Description THUNDERCRACKER lives on fear. Special materials in his vehicle body allow him to emit controlled sonic detonations that can be heard 200 miles away. Cruising along at Mach 6, he wants his enemies to hear him before they see him. He wants them to know hes coming, and cower in fear at their impending doom. Not as devoted to the recovery of the AllSpark as the other DECEPTICONS, he stays with MEGATRON because the evil leader allows him to indulge his chaotic tendencies.DECEPTICON robot-to-vehicle figure features missile launchers that attach to its arms in robot mode. A twist here and a turn there and this robot figure converts into an F-22 Raptor vehicle mode with six firing missiles! Ages 5 and up.

This transformer is a remold of Starscream. Thundercracker is very complicated to transform and it took a while to memorize how to do it. His missiles launch too easily and constantly fire while transforming. This is probably because rotating the barrel will fire the missiles. I find it funny how he has "bird feet" which helps his posing. He has a very obvious automorphing feature, pushing up his cockpit moves his whole wing section into his body, exposing the gray part of his chest.
6 year old son loved it!January 5, 2008 Bought this toy for my 6 yr old son for Christmas present. He loves it. It took a little while for him to transform it, but otherwise he seems happy with it and playing with it all the time along with his other Transformers. It's enjoyable to see him role playing.
An old favoriteNovember 6, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just casually looking around to see what kinds of Transformers Wal-mart had that day I let out a chuckle as I spotted Thundercracker. My cousin has Starscream and let me mess around with it for a while so I was pleased to pick up a jet of the same model but one that, in my opinion, looks so much cooler. The automorph for this model jet is one of the smoothest of all the movie line so far, even though Thundercracker wasn't in it. And the missile release is just as jumpy and hair triggered as ever but that doesn't bother me. Some people have had beef about this jet design because of the way the head is hidden away, or not. Again it doesn't bother me because during the transformation process I just turn it aorund so that the face is covered by the feet and all you see is the back of the head. Simple. Because of the sort of "chicken leg" design of his legs they are very poseable. I've never had a problem standing him up in a variety of poses. I tend to lean toward his robot mode more than his alt mode but they're both very cool. A lot of collectors have commented on how the jet mdoe is very bulky and not all that well hidden. Once again, this is not a problem for me since I keep him in robot mode most of the time. Maybe if we were given a leader class Starscream things would be different. Oh well. As for the rear fins that end up on either side of his head. I find nothign wrong with them. What I think is interesting is that everyone that I've seen who ones one form of this jet has his/her own way of positioning them. Which I think adds a unique and individual character to everyone's Transformer. Its just great. Overall, this is an excellent addition to my collection and I'll deffinatley be going for the Starscream repaint. Anyone who is consdiering this item you may be at ease. It is very much worth it.

I am a huge fan of repaints. I wish they would make some more repaints seeker jets. It would be very cool to have six jets available. I own all three movie voyager jets. The G1 Starscream repaint is still my favorite.
If you remember back in 1984-85 all the seeker jets were just repaints.
Overall the quality of the toy is excellent. The right foot was kind of loose when I took him out of the box. Hasbro doesn't play around with the packaging because it took me over 20 minutes to get him out of the box. I do try keep the boxes in mint condition.
With all my Transformers I transform them into robots and display them on my shelf. They never get played with.
The coolest thing is that Thundercracker hates Starscream. Remember in the cartoon when they never got along. Starscream always made thundercracker do all the pointless never-ending tasks.
Over-all I give it 9 out of 10.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
