But how is Thundertron? I'm still interested in hunting down him, but of course need Dreadwing first... But now what he and Magnus are out, chances of finding DW are are even slimmer..

I always find the Voyagers WAY after everyone else for whatever reason. Starscream finally showed up here a few weeks ago. Have yet to see Dreadwing. Frankly that's why I buy online, it saves me the headache (and gas money, and time) of checking stores that only get things late or not at all.

Thundertron is... really cool! I was a litle underwhelmed when I first opened it up but I fiddled with it and got it looking pretty snazzy. The way it was packaged, some bits were blocking some articulation and it took me a few minutes to figure out what to loosen. The shoulder pads were kind of locked behind the forearm armor at the elbow. Also it took me a second to realize the head movement was being impaired by some clear panels that could be folded out of the way.

The mechtech weapon is predictably lame but I dismantled it and took out the clear blade part and trimmed some gear teeth away from the handle part and it now fits perfectly in his forearm and looks great! You have to fold his hand down which leaves a gap and I stuck the "handle" into the gap. So now he has a cutlass arm!

The only real drawback I have so far(I haven't transformed it yet) is the head doesn't have a ton of movement(basically side to side, and looking down), and the wrists predictably don't have much either. He stands well even with the pegleg though.

All in all I really like it. Plastic quality is okay, could be better, Paint apps are good. Not quite a 10/10 figure but I'd give it a solid 8 so far.
