Wow, was expecing the worst for Thrust, really thought he was likely to be another basic recolour. Looks great, nicest by far out of whats seen, actually interested in seeing Bugbite and Dreadwing now.

As expected, they used the Starscream/Skywarp mold (you can tell by the way the wings fold up on the back versus the legs). The Alt mode is spot on perfect. At least TFCC had enough common sense not to mess this up. Nicely done.

Damn. I almost wished this was just gonna be a Ramjet repaint. But they went and did a remold and have me wanting this and not being able to settle for just painting up a Ramjet/Starscream for the other two.
It's very nice... but damn.

Actually, the only parts that have ever changed on these guys are the nosecone, the wings, and the horizontal stabilizers on the ankles. If you look at 'em, Ramjet's ilk have the folding wings like Starscream, they are just really short.
(Man, Ramjet looks a ton better when you learn his wings can rotate, so they don't stick out like some insane kite.)
I will never get these guys in my life, due to how much they are going to cost. But man... I wish I could. ESPECIALLY when new molds are offered. -.-

Man! Thrust do look good, granted the wings are indeed a little small but still look sweet. Luckily I'm not that big of a fan for the conehead seekers since am not able to get theses, just gonna repaint starscream into a Thundercracker.

Just wonderful. I could really have cared less after seeing the repaint of Dirge and figured Thrust would get a similar treatment, and now I want the set again, because they pretty much nailed this one. Oh well, not for $300.

****ERS!!! Now my painting Ramjet into Dirge and Thrust has become pointless, and I have to come up with $329 to get these 3!!!!!!!!!

It's good, but not worth 300 Dollars (thats 150 pounds UK peeps). Remember, you can STILL make your own Thrust my making your own wings, or, perhaps by using an old G1 Thrust wing set or something.
Or wait for Takara to make classics and see what they bring to the table. E-Hobby anyone?
OR wait for the set to depreciate in value a year from now on Ebay.
Let the scalpers foot the bill. That's what everyone is doing with the Binaltech Black Convoys anyway.

I'd love to see a picture with all six seekers together. They'd look spectacular.
I bought me a lottery ticket today. Yeah I'm hoping. What else can I do? :P

Well, Thrust looks great. I'm glad they've re-molded the wings and I like the paint scheme. Has anybody noticed how the price magically jumps another hundred bucks for the non-attendee package as opposed to adding a second set to a Primus package? I count myself as lucky that my friend who is attending added one to his package for me, but seriously what the hell does the price go up so much for? At least for the price we are getting something of a new mold.

VERY, VERY, VERY nice. See, remolds are a good thing. There is a MUCH better reaction to this than there was to Dirge. Come on botcon guys, its not to late to do Dirge RIGHT!!!

I think the wings just look small because they used the same big guns that Ramjet has. Yes, they should have used the guns from the Starscream mold but that's a minor nit-pick. I'm just glad they did remold the wings.

IMHO Thrust looks to be the best of the set, but I'm not going to be able to attend BotCon...and just wish that Thrust could be obtained separately, If they made him into a retail version...I'd buy him to add to my collection.
