Transformers Studio Series Thundercracker Figure Has Been Rescued From Toys 'R' Us

Another exclusive has risen from the ashes of Toys 'R' Us! This time, it's the Transformers Studio Series Voyager Class Thundercracker, which has found a new home at Entertainment Earth and can be pre-ordered here for $29.99 with shipping slated for July. At the time of writing these were running for around $50 on eBay, so this is your chance to purchase one without a big markup.

In addition to being one of the last Toys 'R' Us exclusives, the Studio Series Thundercracker is made even more collectible because it's kind of an odd figure. It's clearly a remold of Nitro Zeus from The Last Knight with a different paint job and an insect-like head. We're not sure why it exists, but it is pretty cool-looking, and the Toys 'R' Us connection definitely makes it more interesting. The official description reads:

"Reach past the big screen and build the ultimate Transformers collection with Studio Series figures. Each figure in the Studio Series lineup is inspired by an iconic movie scene and designed with specs and details to reflect the Transformers movie universe. This Studio Series 09 Voyager Class Toys "R" Us Exclusive Thundercracker figure is inspired by the Chicago Aerial Offensive scene from the movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon. You may remove the head and replace it with Prime Masters or Titan Masters heads (sold separately), or have either of those small robots serve as a pilot. Includes figure and backdrop." It can also convert from robot to jet mode in 35 steps.
