I bought a second TC purely to put that gorgeous new head on my Hasbro MP Starscream. I'm trying to sell the rest of the figure off cheap/in parts to recoup some of the cost. If you're still wanting a stand for him, I'd love to help you out. Dunno if you’ll ever see this, but what the hell.

Like, the torso not locking in place and the wings not really "latching" into the slots on the back in Robot mode? I love this mold a whole bunch and I tolerate these issues, but it would be interesting to see if Takara resolved them on SunStorm or not.

I always loved how he used the camera as glorified binoculars, then took a picture of what he saw <i>for no reason</i>, and then the picture came out of Reflector like a Polaroid. I want to know what TC did with that photo. Did he frame it somewhere? I suppose they chose Reflector because Thundercracker actually used Reflector in camera-mode that one time.

I snagged two on Saturday, and will be listing my other one on ebay soon. They also used the Generations Thundercracker picture on the back, which is just plain la-zy!

Not interested in the MP seeker mould though, but I know some people who are. Already out in my neck of the woods.

You should totally sell me yours cheap. I doubt any of the 6 TRU within 50 miles of here will get them, we never got MP Roddy or Grimlock. You should totally sell me yours cheap.

The one in my town still has a few MP Rodimus' in the shelves, and they already sell them for something around 30-35€ (he was originally priced at something around 60€).
