    It's interesting that, out of all the repaints that the Cybertron Starscream molds got(Supreme[1-ish], Voyager[3], and Legends[a lot]), this is the only Seeker color scheme out of the main 3, or 6 including the Coneheads, that was never done. Making this 3rd party repaint somewhat unique in that sense.

    ...as opposed to the dedicated, hard working, diligent repaint that was the original Thundercracker? :p

    Man...I was able to resist Galaxy Meteor despite seeing how awesome of a figure he is, but I actually think I like this color scheme more. Might be tough. Anyone know if the plan is to sell him at the same price as GM?

    I never watched the UT. Or rather, I watched part of it and.. well. I just couldn't. Was the seeker trio a big thing there?

    I'm waiting for the inevitable MakeToys G2/Armada Crossover Repaint:

    In general, I've noticed that repaints tend to fund other projects. Wonder if MT is moving into the UT proper?

    Nope, not at all.


    Other than Starscream, only Thundercracker was in the Cybertron/Galaxy Force show, and he was a different design entirely.

    Wait...what? I never watched it either, but I thought Starscream was in just about every iteration of TF fiction.

    Whoops, I meant that TC was the only other Seeker other than Starscream, and that he had a totally different look.

    What does G1 Thudercracker have to do with Cybertron Thundercracker, who was most decidedly NOT a repaint of Starscream? How is this relevant?

    I like this color more than the others so I'll probably grab one but I just wish theyd do a running change so you can fold down those big tail fins in bot mode. They just annoy me.

    Is it just me or has Maketoys been really slow to release product over the last year?
