    Well I'm thinking that confirms Skywarp and Thundercracker? Looks like I'm in for the original 3 at least.

    I'd actually buy the whole line if I didn't already have the Yes Model versions. They're pretty good, better than the official Coneheads. I've preordered Meteor because it is Starscream. The other 5 seekers are not that important to me.

    Found this on Daimchoc's page.

    I've already got the three main seekers in the mp11 mold but I wasn't happy with any of the coneheads. This looks great and I'll definitely get Ramjet at least and maybe ask three if I like them enough.

    Damn, he looks good!

    That was more important to me than the actual coneheads, it's basically confirmation that Meteor wasn't a one-off.

    My Toyworld versions may get replaced after all.

    With the more than likely high quality of these and the Yes Model tweaked mold KOs plus their lower price points, the era of low quality, overpriced $180+ seekers is over.

    Hopefully MT will adjust their Dirge's wing tips to make them more accurate.

    Yep this pretty much guarantees Skywarp and Thundercracker. No way in hell they’d do Starscream and the Coneheads and skip Cracker and Warp. I’m in for all six of these. Funny a year ago I had zero interest in any Maketoys MP. Their new design direction is definitely paying off, at least for me.
    Loving Thrust with his hip wings and the knee pads and leg moulding. Looks like these guys will retain a lot of Meteors dynamic posabilty too. Lovely.

    Yeah I’m not sure what the hell is going on there. The G1 toy had upturned tail fins on the wingtips while the toon just had little missile kind of thing. This looks like a bit of a weird pentagon shape or something. Hopefully it’s just a weird grey prototype /bad photo kind of thing.
    I think it’s a longer torso. The Coneheads have the two sets of intakes in the chest. The middle portion of the chest canopy piece looks a bit longer. They may gain half a cm or so in height from that. They may have tweaked the canopy/nosecone/Head transformation to accomodate the Conehead. Hopefully means a different transformation with the Head movement and the c clip on the back.

    Now the big question becomes, since I'm planning on buying no more than one other seeker other than the thundercraker I already have, going for meteor or waiting for these coneheads?

    Uhhh. Just when I thought I was done. Who wants to buy all my YeS model jets lol.

    So I’m guessing they are just going to do all cone heads and seekers. I want them for their feet alone

    Yup. The big question is "Do I dump all of the MP-11 based seekers I already have and wait for these hoping they all DO actually come out!?"

    Well, I'm definitely in for Skywarp and Thundercracker, but I don't know that I'm ready to drop another $360-ish on yet three more versions of the mold (as much as I enjoy it) when I've got ToyWorld's Coneheads already chilling on my shelf.

    Glad I skipped yes model dirge and ramjet.

    Might double dip on their thrust depending on how the hip wings end up.

    Ummm....
    Probably the back side of the wing will be a empty.
