    Cybertronian Thundercracker. Painted with Tamiya laquer and acrylics to get a colorscheme based specifically on Botcon Thundercracker (Yay, I own something nobody cares about anymore). I can't wait for my takara Skywarp, so I had to do this. Besides that, I'm positive that hasbro isn't going to give us seekers, because they'll likely focus on that beast hunters stuff. I hope we do get them eventually, but this'll hold me over for a while. No 'con emblems yet, and the details you'd typically expect from war for cybertron characters are absent, but I really meant to do this hasbro style (except, you know, metallic). Finally, I wanted him to have typical seeker weapons instead of those heavy guns, so I painted a pair of Universe Tankor weapons. Please tell me what ya'll think!

    Perfect work. Just like--EVEN BETTER--what what it would have looked like at retail.

    Very nice. Are you planning on adding the red and white stripes to the wings?

    I got an extra Starscream in case Hasbro doesn't give us a Thundercracker. This is awesome! Mind if I use it as a reference?

    Excellent. I like the use of Classics/Universe Octane for his weapons.

    Wow, that seriously looks like it's cast in blue plastic with factory paint apps. Super impressive. I agree with others, though, that adding the red stripes, plus the purple TRON lights, would help it 'pop' even more.

    I think he looks great! Hopefully Hasbro follows suit and gives us the same.
