Thrust

In honor of all of the new Transformers: Generations figures being previewed at BotCon this year, I thought I would post some images from the original versions of these characters (except Blurr, I posted on him a long time ago). This image is of the original Generation One version of Thrust! He was a remold of the popular Starscream mold from the first year of the Transformers toy line. With the year two Seekers, Hasbro decided to retool the wings on Dirge, Ramjet, and Thrust. The transformation of the figure is exactly the same as the year one Seekers (Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker), however the animated series and Marvel Comics encouraged kids to not fold back the nosecones officially creating the cone-heads. Their box art showed the figures with a normal head, but everyone remembers these characters as having their nosecones as part of their heads. It is hard for me to pick a favorite Seeker from year two, but Thrust is pretty close. I am really looking forward to his pending release as part of the 2010 Transformers: Generations toy line.
