Comments: Thundercracker is an excellent figure. Even though he shares the "repaint" problem of the first and second year jets, the metallic blue colors shine wonderfully. Definitely an A+ pic!!

Like all the jets, Thundercracker relies on accessories for his transformation. In jet mode, the wings, rutters, and missiles fit rather well and blend nicely. His jet mode consits of mainly a sharp blue with silver. There is also a hint of black toward his rear end and nose-cone. Transformation to robot is fairly simple and includes the connection of several accessories. In robot mode you see a lot more of the silver on his chest area and near his head. This adds a nice touch.

Overall, Thundercracker is sharp. The colors are well chosen and help to "stand-out" this first year Jet repaint.

Thundercracker is contemptous of anything that cannot fly. Not totally convinced of the Decepticons' cause, but they've persuaded him to continue battling the Autobots. Flies at speeds up to 1500 mph. Produces controlled, deafening sonic booms - can be heard for 200 miles. Equipped with powerful drone rockets and incendiary guns. Doubts about his cause sometimes impedes his effectiveness.
