>>7022087The straight KO ~$75 AUD MP Thundercracker is somewhat loose, feels a little thinner than official plastic, overall subpar. If you can stiffen the joints it'll do fine on your shelf once you strike a pose.
If you can find one, a BB7 improved KO fixes the waist connection tab and is about on par with an official seeker (I have the BB7 Skywarp and the MP11 re-issue to compare in hand), but they're scarce to nonexistent after selling out. Only BB7s I can still readily find are the Coneheads which are also all good quality. They were rumoured to do a second run of Thundercracker and Skywarp with extra detailing but that trail's gone cold.
I'm going to bed but reply with any specific details you're after and if you want pics. No idea about Grapple though
