    If they were going to do a conehead I still wish they did Thrust instead... but Ramjet looks awesome and it's nice to see he's a heavy Starscream remold instead of just a repaint. And maybe we might actually get 3 seekers since no Dirge means room for a blue jet on the shelf... And Jetfire... damn! Arms are a bit obvious in jet mode but it's very nice to see him. And to see the Skyfire head, I was worried it would be the Jetfire head with the mask flipped up like War Within Jetfire, glad to see it's two seperate head molds.

    Jetfire's jet mode is less than impressive by recent standards - his arms are just 'there'. The fists can't retract because the female port for the clips from the FAST pack arm armour are in the way... but still looks like a great toy.

    Ramjet is very nice.

    Ramjet's been abit neglected in recent years, though. We got a Thrust and Dirge homage in Armada (though they weren't great toys).

    Last Thrusts we got were crazy coloured Universe ones.

    Loving Jetfire. I thought the Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp two pack was going to make me a completest, Ramjet is really pushing me over the edge. These pics made me like OP. I never liked him before, but now that I see these and the transformation I have to get it now. My wallet is going to commit suicide.

    Nice! I was already planning on being a completist with this line and I'm happier every day! Ramjet looks awesome and I love how it's got so much extra engineering that it's almost an entirely different mold. Jetfire's not doing too much for me without the Valkyrie styled fast packs and head that we've seen in the other pictures... probably becuase the head looks like the dorky scientist one and I've never been a big fan of Skyfire... however, it's nice to see that their will be a choice of head for both Skyfire and Jetfire fans.

    Surprised no one's brought this up, but now that we know they're doing a Ramjet mold... has anyone thought of the possability that with Starscream & Ramjet in the main line & Skywarp as a Target exclusive... that $30 set for TRU might just be a Seeker trio? Thundercracker, Dirge & Thrust... mmm... $30 of goodnes! That would make me one happy collector this year!

    I've brought that up in previous threads. It would be a good idea.

    I'd much prefer Dirge, Ramjet + Thrust!

    Then Perhaps another 3 pack of Thundercracker, Skywarp, + Starscream later on.

    Jetfire rocks my world. That nosecone looks a little harsh, but I imagine it will look better in color. And once the fast-packs are in place, WOOO!

    And Ramjet? HOLY CRAP! The panel lining on that mold is just incredible. I'm going to have to break out the paint set when classics come out. Too much goodness to ignore the mold detailing on them. And all the remolding just makes him look spectacular.

    I am SO looking forward to my first full seeker army. In the past I've bought no more than one of each seeker mold, but this time around, I can't ignore the need. They are ALL mine. All of them. And then some so I can make custom colored ones as well.

    I just hope Classics take their time getting here. I'll be able to love them for eternity once they are here, but the next couple of months are prepping to be absolutely deadly to my wallet, and I'd rather be able to afford Classics when I see them.

    i think with three out of 6 original seekers, it makes sense to do the rest. Its easy cash cow for hasbro. except for dirge and thrust. They would need some modification from ramjet, butnot much really.

    Bestest line ever!! I'm totally in love with this line and can't wait to see Cliffjumper and Soundwave pics! Here's hoping Cliffjumper gets as much remolding as Ramjet did!

    Do those pictures remind anyone else of the photo-based instructions on the backs of the cards for the late-line Beast Machines figures?

    Jetfire looks very good but the exposed fists is a major let down!

    Man, those are REALLY nice, this gives me high hopes for Classics Cliffjumper, hopefully he will get some re-molding as well.

    I dont see this "other" jetfire head you guys are talking about. the jetfire on the patent site only has one head, and I can see no way for there to be another.

    Oh, and I just noticed ramjet's hands are on the wrong arms. Hope that doesnt carry over to production models.
