    I was mostly waiting for Obsidian but this looks neat and I love blue bots.

    The translation of the Weibo article:

    Ironfactory# IF EX-20 H [Tyrant's Wings-Hecatolite (Tyrant's Wings-Hecatolite)], limited to 1500 bodies worldwide, with an independent number card, you can meet in a few days. (Including the IF EX-20 O that was announced last year and the remaining two models that will be announced this year, the 16-person flying brigade is all together.)

    With the 2 Rainmakers, Ion Storm and Nova Storm, they had announced I was expecting that there would be a third seeker, Welcoming Committee Nacelle, but IF is going for an extra seeker. Would do we think it will be? My preference would be Sandstorm the recolor of Ramjet or Blackout the black version of Starscream or finally a Slipstream with the same model as the rest of the seekers.

    Ion Storm is listed as incoming from ShowZ so I put my order in today. With Nacelle and Sandstorm just announced I figured I might as well get him before all of the other stuff starts trickling in.

    Ion Storm looks great. I am trying to decide if I ought to get Hecatolite and Obsidian. I can see where they got the influences for Hecatolite--from my custom figures that were done during my heyday and deep into the Rainmakers project.

    Damn, I have all the IF Seekers so far but don’t know if I really want anymore. I feel like I should since I have all the others already but ... yawn

    While I prefer the look of the Newage version with the IF version you have the ability to complete the whole pack (S1 Seekers, S2 Coneheads, Rainmakers, Welcomming Committee and a few others).

    And the upcoming Nacelle (IF EX-20P) completes the Welcoming Committee.

    With these from IF and Newage, except for an one of I like the design of legend scaled tetrajets, I'll be done with seekers.

    Ordered him on 22-12-2020 from Robotoybase.

    I can see that he is in-stock at TFsource and Chosen Prime as well as being sold out on BBTS's website.
