Thank you for pointing that out - I kept thinking, "Wait. How did he get so tall?"
He also has the green stripes on his legs that he conspicuously didn't before.
Oh wow. Those green stripes so utterly belong that I didn't notice they were there. I just didn't notice anything wrong.
You gotta love how they read our feedback and actually answer our questions instead of just saying "No."
Or leading us on with "Stay tuned" and then proceeding to do nothing.

That’s my feeling: Thundertron will be a Voyager repaint with some extra “stuff”. One deco option nobody seems to have talked about is the “Go Prime” deco- white base with teal/green and black with gold accents. It would be compellingly different without treading on decos established for Leo Prime or Alpha Trion.
He’ll probably be packed with a “gimmick figure”, my preference would have been a junkion, but given the apparent fall release, it’ll probably be one of the Rockbots. And probably some Energon cubes in yellow/gold. Y’know, “the booty”.
Blud listed all three of those deco options on the previous page.
Huh, wait, so he IS a Voyager...

I missed that.
We’re all still assuming a Voyager. There isn’t much a reason to assume he ISN’T one, though. It seems unlikely Hasbro has anything worth retooling at the leader price point for the character (unless a completely different design), and the MO of Hasbro works against that idea.
Hasbro DOES have a history of “plussing up” figures to fit a price point, though. That is, of course, unless Walmart abandoned the item they did the toy colors Velocitron Hot Rod.
The Thundertron mold on its own is a Voyager. That much is known. But the leaked listing for the Star Raiders capsule line version listed Thundertron as a Leader, so the running theories are that it will be a redeco of the Voyager with extra stuff to make it worth the Leader pricepoint. We just don't know the specifics of that version.
Oh, the Voyager thing was me misreading a few posts back and assuming Thundertron had always been Leader class as-is, not Voyager

Thundertron but he comes with Blitzwing's energon oven mitts. There, easy Leader class price point.
Thundertron and blast effects.
Wait. Crap, no, that'll make me buy the damn thing.
... Eh, maybe if they do my Captain Hook idea.

Ah, hang on. Wasn't there supposedly going to be a Bludgeon in this capsule? Did plans change on that?
There was!
But considering the packs change (Breakdown was originally listed with a Knockout, IIRC), it is possible that Amazon opted to only carry two packs this year. Or, like last year, the theme will be a staggered release and the Bludgeon/Ruckus pack will be released later.
Just have to wait and see.
Bludgeon was supposed to be in the Amazon capsule, not the Walmart one.
