It's a pretty solid figure... The only part that has issues from the reviews I read is a fairly loose mid section where the cockpit slides down to form the chest piece. If you twist the arms to usually comes loose. Mine had this issue but other then that I love the new mold! If you have a spare rodimus then sure... But if you only have the one I'd keep him. I love my MP Rodimus. I have the Takara and 2 hasbro versions but he has always been one of my favorite TFs.

Ok I traded my MP Rodimus with MP Thundercracker. Is it worth the trade? I realy can't tell at the moment since I haven't opened it yet but having 2 Rodimus in my shelves, I think its a fair trade. Now I can display it side by side with Starscream.

I think its a good trade if you had two already might as well trade one for a different character. Honestly I found the Rodimus figure kinda fiddly with not the greatest balance. You should be happy with your trade.

I think I like Thundercracker better than Starscream.

Manage to get one from a local TRU here in Australia for AU $80. Reasonable, considering how much they priced MP Grimlock and MP Ghost Starscream.

I think TC is easier to get now. I saw him on the 3 TRU stores that are closest to me this past weekend.

Got my MP Thundercracker from TRU online. Haven't transformed it yet, but the robot mode is pretty solid. Joints overall pretty snug and tightness are even all around (better than my MP Prime). Though mine has one flawed hip with the left and right hip ratchet not quite aligned right, so whenever I am doing a 'A stance', the figure is always leaning slightly more to the left, even though its the same 'click' on both legs. Has the same torso coming loose issue, but probably a easy fix on the tab with the super glue trick. But its not that bad so far so I'll leave it for now.
Really dislike the tattoos and G1 toyish deco, so cleaned them up with a lot of rubbing of 91% alcohol, fine sand paper, and a little scraping with an xacto knife on the panel lines. For the tail fins, got a sticky black vinyl sheet from local craft store, cut the right shape, and fully covered the black part of the fin. Like it a lot better now, and no more 'sonicbooom' with Soundwave.

manage to see it at my local TRU, i wanted to buy it but decided not to because of the price($89.99). it might not be the best decision and a risky one, but ill wait to see if they reduce the price later on.
he looks pretty good though.
on a side note, DAMN BUMBLEBESSS!!!!!!!!!

Price in the continental US is $74.99 including Toys R Us online. It's a great figure that's fun to transform. I'm very glad I got one. TRU occasionally has coupons. There was an earlier 20%-off coupon for an in-store purchase of $100 or more. Of course, it expired before local stores got the MP Thundercracker in stock.
