    I thought Sandstorm (The Seeker) never made it past the artwork, still interesting nonetheless.

    Upon looking it up, it seems he may have been further along in production than I thought.

    And now I want 2 of the upcoming Masterpiece Ramjet. The second to be customized into this G2 Sandstorm.

    EDIT:
    Yeah, looks like the end of 2012 according to tfwiki.

    Not the same seller but like levandowski said this is very old. In 2012 there were 2-3 on taobao for sale. The seller also has a set of prototype g2 stunticons.

    He's very bland, and the fact that he would've been a second reuse of the Ramjet mold instead of one of the other toolings means it was a good thing he didn't get released, because neon Starscream and Ramjet didn't sell that great in the first place. I remember them being on clearance everywhere.

    He's neat as a rare piece in good condition, though. The chrome canopy is really the only noteworthy thing here beyond the Seeker face in a color other than black.

    I don't want to be that guy, but bad mold, even by G1 standards, and completely bland on top of that. Where's the appeal beyond that it's rare?

    Presumably there would have been stickers if it were released, which explains the bland.

    Me too!

    Would've completed a third set of seekers nicely. Acid Storm, Sunstorm and Sandstorm! It works

    Learn something new everyday. Even when you study all the lottery toys you can.fund out, and think.you got everything but the micromaster period and missing some info on action masters mastered, still find surprises in the transformers game. :lol 

    I like the face and gold vacuum metal canopy. Looks like Hasbro has to.give us a deluxe mold in THST deco
