    Preordered Sandstorm. I'm doing the Netflix subline, but I am planning to sneak in there a few extra figures, and he should make for a nice background Decepticon trooper, alongside Hotlink. Do really like the desert camo deco.

    Neither version I would say is all that "wildly popular". But fans do have an attachment for any figures that went unreleased even from G2, and this at least is a chance to own a toy of a character whose original toy is something the vast majority of fans can never own.

    I think something like that would be a logistical nightmare. They would have to have part of their production facilities making Seekers all year. Meaning other toys could not be produced. We, as fans, would have to give up any other exclusives.

    That's not how any of this works and the figures are quite obviously already in production

    Damn that G2 Megatron got me drooling! I had the original and I loved it. I really wish they'd done something better with the tank part that turns into a "sword" though. That looks awful, but aside from that I couldn't be happier with how this turned out! Might have to buy one...

    SandStorm is very tempting but my kids only want cartoon appearing guys. I want to buy it but then Id just be buying it for myself because it means something to me. And I dont buy toys for myself anymore. Just for my kids. So it would mean nothing really to them

    I wish they would make some of those seekers that did appear in the original cartoon

    There was no G2 Thundercracker. There was a G1 Action Master Thundercracker, which is what you’re probably thinking about. It’s easy enough to assume it was another side effect of the Nucleon.

    Name reuses in Transformers have been around as far back as Barrage and Sky High.

    Those are the toys I live for. I love NEW characters based on old designs or unreleased figures. I love the obscure stuff. Sure, G2 Ramjet and Starscream would be nice eventually, but I’d much rather have new characters done first. So bring on Earthrise mold G2 Blackout and Nacelle, Siege mold Bitstream and Sunstorm, and some kind of retool for Slipstream. Then surprise us with a couple of the unnamed seeker prototype new characters.

    Sandstorm sold out way too fast on Pulse. This is getting seriously ridiculous now.

    As much as I\'m not very impressed with Earthrise Megatron so far, the G2 deco makes him look real dashing. Hopefully we\'ll also get an honest-to-God new G2 Megs sonner rather than later, complete with a shoulder cannon and the tank\'s front\\nose plate becoming the chest in robot mode.

    Betting they'll get around to making all the G2 Seekers and alternate decos as well

    Like the Seeker know as Slaughterhouse.
    I would love to get a new GS Seeker every month, but that would require Hasbro to have a factory just for making Seekers. Because making Generations, Studio Series, the kid line, the preschool line, and Generations selects, we also want a Seeker line.

    When my son's became 10 and 12 their love for toys ended quickly. All they cared about at that point were video games and sports. Now they're college bound, have their own jobs and both saving up for cars. So this TF hobby has been strictly mine for years now so I buy whatever figures I want.

    Yeah, I wonder if this Megatron was made to be G2 first. I really do like him and that ridiculous spear better in this deco.

    Sandstorm I'm just pleased I expected this pattern and even picked him. With the shift to beast wars I highly doubt they're gonna keep it going through Kingdom, but you never know. There are plenty more seeker decos.
