Combiner Wars Leader Class Thundercracker is an extensive retooling of the Jetfire mold (you can see the original here, in our galleries) and is currently available in Asia, soon to be released in the States this Summer season. Until then, this in hand gallery should help tide you over while you wait, albeit impatiently.

Thanks to fellow fan, Tagoal, we have a few images mirrored here, below, and you can click on any of the images to see the full listing of images of this figure and the comparison to Jetfire. One thing you might notice is that they retained the clips for the Jetfire fastpack, odd isn't it? (Hopefully it'll lead to a cool G2 redeco with soundbox attachment. Well, one can dream, can't they?)

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, as well as the best galleries around!

If I ever see that Leader TC on clearance, he's so going into my Sealed TC collection!

Right there with ya brother!

I know this is a page back, but I just wanted to say, this looks FREAKIN COOL. I dig that look over the more "classic" cannon look.

Aww darn, I've seen so many pictures of this, but now compared to Jetfire, I'm sad to realize that I don't get the 'fast pack' booster rockets. I just never realized they weren't included until I saw these shots. :-(

Yeah, I just noticed that too! Perhaps a 3rd party company might make something to fit in those ports.

Damn, it's the fake cockpit from hell !

With Jetfire you can give it a free pass since it's supposed to be Skyfire in robot mode. But putting that lazy gimmick on seekers is an insult to the characters.

Meh, everybots do it. So, why the drama?
Still, I would have prefered a clear fake cockpit like Jetfire's instead of just a painted one.

I'll admit it bugs me to. That sort of thing bugged me all the way back on Powermaster Optimus, and I was 9 when that came out.

I really don't like fake parts. I'm willing to look past it here because A) Thundercracker is one of my favorite Transformer characters and B) I love the Leader Jetfire mold, but it does bother me that they couldn't do a Leader class toy with the actual cockpit for a chest.

Yeah, I know exactly what you all mean. I too was bugged with PM Optimus as a kid.

But, then, I do admit that I'm weird... 8-}

IDW Transformers artist Andrew Griffith, regular on current The Transformers ongoing title, has updated his Tumblr with some concept work for the upcoming Generations Combiner Wars Leader Class Ultra Magnus (with Minimus Ambus) figure - specifically, the cockpit design, both inside and outside, and the interaction with Minimus in vehicle mode. Check it out below!

So a while back I got to work a bit on an upcoming Leader class toy version of Ultra Magnus from IDW’s More Than Meets The Eye. Since the toy has been revealed, I got permission from Hasbro to show off some of my art for it.

Just to be clear, the overall design of the toy was already done, based heavily on Nick Roche’s design for the book. What I was asked to do was to sketch up what the interior cockpit could look like within the confines of the space they had available for it. I worked with Hasbro to develop it, and they sent my art along to Takara-Tomy to use for the sculpt for the final product.

The cockpit for Minimus Ambus inside Ultra Magnus functions a bit different than James Roberts and Alex Milne worked out for MTMTE, but personally I think it’s pretty cool that Hasbro took inspiration from the comics and even went to the trouble of using the concept of Minimus “driving” Ambus at all to be pretty darn cool.

I was thrilled to work on this particular project.

Rad. I can't remember from all the toy fair pix so I wonder if those door panel monitors/consoles will be featured in the interior of the toy. Wouldn't that be cool?! Keep more of these concepts comin!

I picked him up on sale recently too (I thought I posted a pic here, but it either got lost in the shuffle or I didn't hit "Submit"). The color scheme is really growing on me. The head sculpt is nice too, but I wish the colors were more toy/cartoon accurate.

Well, did MP Magnus have a driver? Legit question, because I don't feel like pulling up a review of him.

I find it cool that the Magnus Armor's cockpit is laid out like a battlemech cockpit from the BattleTech universe, with the joystick on the right side, throttle on the left side, and foot pedals (in battlemechs the foot pedals are for turning the machine, or both are pressed down to activate jump jets).

Finally after months of trying to find this toy. Earlier today Walmart.com relisted this G1 CW Megatron toy as back in stock. Finally was able to buy one.

Had to also order a $7 Hero Mashers Jetfire. to save $5 on shipping fees and qualify for free shipping. As $50 orders before tax qualify for free shipping.

Awesome! I'm glad you finally found one! I know you're waiting for the DX9 kit (as am I) and the ReproLabels are awesome. Posted a pic earlier.

Because printing the tiny label sheet on clear plastic instead of opaque white made too much sense.

BTW, I'm half-way tru applying the reprolabels on CW Geewun Megs. Some labels are a pain, especially the tiny stickers that make the silver stripes on the cannon. Some make no sense like the black covers for the already black side-skirt. However, most of them kick ass. The chest piece is perfect, the "energon lights" are GLOWING and the inner details of the arms are fantastic!

Only the tank mode labels left to apply... All 3 billions of them.

Well, I honestly don't think someone said "hey let's make this stickers useless!" I think it was just an error. It's not like they haven't made clear stickers before.

The exacto came in handy on the tiny stickers. Looks crazy good though right?! And, "ah, yesss" (BW Megatron FTLOL) all of the blast panel stickers, you just get into rhythm with them. I like the "low visibility" Autobot/Decepticon sigil option, goes good with the rest of the tank body stickers. And yeah, why the black skirt stickers? To take away the detailing?! Left them off.

Whelp. 3rd party Megatron/Apollyon arrives tomorrow. The question now becomes: how much do I really like CW Megatron?

I loved seeing the pics, and when I finally got him in hand, I thought he was great. Then I looked at him for a while, and the cannon really got to me. I hate it, I really do. It's such a long, thin, puny thing. An insult to fusion cannons everywhere. It kinda ruins the figure for me.

So do I keep him? I kinda want to sell him, but I'm afraid I may regret it later....

Look at him as his own thing. Better yet, buy the Reprolabels and GEEWUN him up to the max. Sure, his cannon is small, compared to the original. But take him as a DIFFERENT character. Like the original G1 Megatron is not really the Megatron of the cartoon. I finished applying Meg's Repros and lemme tell you, he's worth the 80$+ total I paid for.

One thing is sure. If you sell him off, you'll regret it forever because I'm sure the G1 version of CW Leader Megatron will be worth a fortune down the line... and he'll be impossible to buy back at a reasonable price anymore.

And remember, it's an official release. In years down the road that will matter more to certain collectors.

Kinda my thoughts. I kept his box, so I think I'm just going to package him up and toss him in storage. If a 3rd party ever makes a proper cannon for him, he'll be back on the shelf n a heartbeat.
