Didn't say they did. But if they didn't do them like the cartoon, you'd have a whole other segment of the fandom wondering why they weren't done this way. This is definitely a case where Hasbro is unable to please everyone...so do it the media correct way.

 

M8, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally love these, it adds to the novelty that they’re stupidly accurate, it’s part of the draw.

As for the analogy, well, now I’m just judging you for being cruel to a poor doggo that didn’t choose to have mange.

 

I have no idea what the argument is here but you sound like children. Buy it or don't. Beyond that, no one cares.

I think the set looks cool. Do we have a price and retailer yet?

 

I already have spent a looooooot more than I was planning on Siege, so this set, while cool for what it is, is going to my "maybe if I find a good deal" list.

 

Except they wouldn't have, because the weathering is built into the mold budget.

It's obvious these exist solely because they are cheap to produce.

If you were to line up every Seeker that's been released over the entirety of the Transformers line. ESPECIALLY with the numerous reuses of 'G1' and 'Classics' molds. You would have enough for each character to represent a colour in a rainbow and then some....And you know what?? I LOVE THAT!

For me, that has always been the allure to the Seeker army building. I adore the fact that they come in so many varieties. I just gotta have em all. Especially if I fancy the mold. I will be getting these. I'm not just saying that to be contrarian, to what sadly seems to be a large hate for this set.  

I must admit, I'm probably a bit more giddy than the usual Seeker fan with this trio. I love the neon colours. I'm willing to bet they'll look even more intense in person.

 

I love that they're in the garish cartoon colors. Seeing these makes me hope we eventually get all the Seekers in this mold

 

I guess if you think about this is THE mold to do Cartoon colors since their alt mode is also the correct one.

 

Just now from the MN Sightings thread:

Target pricing the "Seeker Set" at $80.

 

Oh shit. Guess I'm gonna be making more trips to Target in the near future.

 

I feel this way as well. Actually one of my favorite things about the Classics mold was how many distinct characters we got out of it (never mind the snazzy G2 decos and such). That mold managed to capture more seekers than anything before and so far after it and it was great. We had at least 12 unique characters if one counts SG Thundercracker and I would love to see that repeated. We're already at seven with this mold and I can only hope we get the welcoming party again as well. With the show accurate decos being the norm Bitstream could come out in the nice deep blue he had in the show since he won't look like Thundercracker anymore.

 

I stand corrected, $10 discount is better than I expected

 

I'm actually kind of enjoying that Hasbro seems to have just said "screw it, if we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it to the extreme!" with this seeker mold.

I want a freaking Baskin-Robbins of Seekers. 31 flavors.

 

$14 if you've got a Red Card.

 

They just announced, WE ARE GETTING RUNG, in the Siege line. Look here:SDCC 2019 - Hasbro Booth Photos Reveals Siege RUNG, Ratbat, Micromaster Battle Squad, Astrotrain Base And More
I am also excited about the Siege Micromaster vehicle combiners, and Siege Red Frenzy, Ratbat, Astrotrain's BASE MODE, and Apeface.

 

Nice. Brickseek shows this in-stock at local target when using the DCPI. Can that be right?

UPC and MSRP show N/A.

 

$80 at target and the Micromaster 10 set is 40 also at target.

 

So... the Micromaster 10-pack is going to be Target Exclusive?

 

$80?! Aww dammit!
