    Hasbro's Thrust seems better.

    I still think the best of the best are United Starscream (boxed set), Botcon Thundercracker, United Skywarp (boxed set), Botcon Thrust, Generations Dirge, Henkei Ramjet.

    these are very sexy, but nothing I need.

    (Now they release the Energon Starscream mold in Seeker colors....)

    Love it! I've been championing an idea exactly like this for a couple years now, so I'm beyond happy to see it become an actual reality.

    Works out way too expensive for both sets. As much as I want them, for $120 per set, I expect them to recite the alphabet backwards, and do my laundry.

    I'm perfectly fine with the Hasbro version of all three of them.

    Enh, I hope that this is the last hurrah of the Classics Seeker mold. The injection molds are probably cheese by now, anyway :D

    Cool, but not 120 dollars cool. What is up with Takara and their crazy prices lately? United Bruticus for 130? Give us a break!!

    Very nice packaging. I like the art...but the toys themselves have no appeal to me.

    I like the Coneheads, but they're not worth $130 to me. I'll stick with the set I have.

    I will continue to buy every iteration of the classics seeker mold. Sorry that I'm apparently personally responsible for the continued reuse of this now-ancient mold. :)

    Why do I get the feeling the box costs more than the figures?

    If you had gone to Botcon 2005 looking for Games of Deception you might be disappointed, since it didn't come out until 2007. :)  On the upsode, there might still be some actual 2005 sets (Descent into Evil) still available for not too much.
