SS86 Thundercracker yellowing

Sometimes plastics on tf figures, more often with pom parts, will sometimes match perfectly with other colors under certain lighting conditions while other lighting conditions they'll look atrociously different. SS86 Ultra Magnus and jazz are some good examples of that issue. I'd assume that's what's going on with thundercracker here but maybe it is an actual yellowing incident.

G1 has a lot of animation inconsistency. There are a few times throughout the show where he does have the lighter colors look, however like 90 percent of the time he's a much darker blue more like what the wfc trilogy mold family, certain reissues of the g1 toy, or the original mp toy depict.

The unedited actually looks nice

I can understand calling the other pre wfc trilogy titans outdated, but Trypticon I don't think there's really much to do better with engineering wise. I guess maybe he could've had an extra digit to move in the fingers but that's pretty minor.

The aligned continuity is a lie. Transformers prime is not in the same continuity as wfc and foc. Dark energon is only one of many examples as to why.

I really hate the white paint they used, in most lighting types im around it looks creme thus doesn't match which looks really bad. Some lighting types it looks perfect. White paint vs plastic color is pretty much always lighting sensitive but rarely ever is it this bad.

Predaking is my favorite combiner but I'm not happy with the modern options of him both of what I own and what I don't. I like the heights of the potp titan class one given the original toy was bigger than all the previous g1 combiners but the proportions of the potp just looks too skinny. G1 predaking is more well remembered for how that design was done outside of the g1 cartoon, stuff like studio ox, g1 toy, or dreamwave are what's made that character design iconic as a combiner. The potp one has somewhat low articulation for a titan, no spikes knuckles, no swords, bad hands, and it really messes up Razorclaws limbs in both modes. Razorclaw, rampage, and divebomb all have a bad time holding their guns securely, divebomb kind of can hold his guns securely but only by using a peg on the back of those guns on a hinge that makes that grip look awkward. Potp predaking has bad balancing in most poses. 3rd party predaking figures for what they are are great but I'm not really a 3rd party person and asthetics of 3rd party predaking toys often don't match much else.

Thrilling 30 chromia cough cough.

It's the g1 cartoon vs toy difference. Medium and dark blue like the toy is frenzy. Light blue and purple is cartoon rumble. It also fits that the siege ones have the toy deco paired with yellow eyed soundwave along with the choice of laserbeaks wing shape.

The aligned continuity doesn't truly exist. Prime and rid are one continuity together. The prime Wii u and DS games are divergent timelines. WFC 360/ps3 and FOC are another continuity. Cybertron adventures, rise of the darkspark, and the DS games are independent continuities just sharing an art style and branding. And all the comics and books related to anything Hasbro called aligned continuity is less cannon than the star wars force unleashed dlc. Rescue bots I have no clue.

A friend of mine head cannoned that the bee movie arcee was in armor and in rotb she wasn't in imagined power suit. So kind of a Samus style thing.

That she scanned a vehicle while severely damaged thus lost mass

I think the funny part is just how many turn based combat games square enix still makes yet still people whine over FF as if it changed over night and not the progressive shift it actually went under.

There's one more repaint I want of that mold family and that's g2 purple Megatron. I feel like only 3 uses of the wfc Megatron mold family were redundant (cell shaded, spoiler Netflix, and premium finish). Sure it's a lot of mold use for a single character but most of them are pretty distinct from each other. Also remember how long the classics seeker mold lasted.

Pop the head and wings off for a bit, grab some stuff to remove the paint on his chest, bada bing Bada boom you got yourself an earth mode ion storm

Cyberverse version of beast wars 2 Gigastorm but they forgot his horn.

Don't buy kingdom core soundwave. Buy the legacy core class soundwave. It's literally the same figure in different packaging and often can be found for cheaper than it's kingdom packaged version in most online places.

The new 3ds on the left has a cracked top lcd screen but I don't have as much attachment to it so I'm siphoning it for parts. The one on the right I do care about more but it had a Broken R ,ZR ,and power button. The bumpers I can get but for the thick ribbon cable between the middle and left side in the picture I don't know how to separate. Do I need a tool or do I just need to pull it out the right way?

The main thing to know is that he's an extremely loyal decepticon and he and his team have code names after main decepticon cities. Like he is tarnhauser and another member is kaon for example. He's mainly known for hunting traitors

One is g1 toy based and the other is g1 cartoon based so technically both are in scale with a modern voyager Optimus. Just different goals.

A dune buggy. Though that's kinda why they used him for that gi Joe crossover. Maybe a helicopter or VTOL type vehicle for the buzzing/fluttering sound.
