Starscream has personality, and gets to hold Megatron in gun-mode. Skywarp can teleport. Thundercracker can go supersonic. So he just kinda fades into the background, because what modern earth attack jet CAN'T go supersonic? So, having been passed over for a mission yet again, he decides to go flying around the mall, because what disenfranchised youth doesn't go hang at the mall when in the dumps, he spots a group of emo kids, and they are getting a great deal of attention from those around them. Sure it is mostly snide looks and laughter, but hey it is attention, right? But an all black color scheme won't work because then they will just think he is Skywarp. So he goes in the opposite direction. And THAT, my friends, is how Thundercracker went dayglo. Well, as far as I know, Thundercracker has always been the odd seeker out.

I wish stuff like this and Toxitron were normally popular instead of just obscurely popular with specific kinds of people. Con exclusives always go for so much cash! Maybe this'll be cheaper on the secondary market because most people didn't want it? That kinda insanity is right up my alley! Aw, man!

Hasbro/Fun are getting back for all those cracks about Playskool plastic. And fans are buying them. I just realized the last three blog posts were about toys in wacky primary colors.

Ah well, I guess I'll need to purchase a second. This was my idea as well, but I also want one for my Shattered Glass Universe. Ah well, I guess I’ll need to purchase a second.
