    I don't know if they will release all the seekers as Voyagers. Maybe eventually but one or two will have to be an exclusive from someone. Six or seven of the same Voyager mold at mass retail just isn't going to happen. I can very easily see that one or two will be Activators only just so that a representation of the character exists. I would like to see the female get her own mold but I have to disagree that they were based of Overlord. There's just no connection. And yeah, they don't have to name her after a G1 seeker.

    I know that Animated is "not G1", but I have to admit, I'm sort of sad they didn't make more reference to the original personalities of the Seekers in developing their "clone" personas. I mean, Dirge is basically the gloomy goth seeker, right? It even reflects in his name and powers.

    Has it been established that the Clone Seekers reflect the 7 deadly sins officially? What does that make the G1 coloured Clonescream? The one that got killed right away?

    Not really, SMOG, people just started talking about that now.

    And to be honest, I can't even find a sin for Skywarp or Sunstorm.

    it has not been established that they are the 7 deadly sins, that's only been discussed here, but they are all aspects of starscream's personality.

    White Clonescream didn't have an allspark fragment so he doesn't count.

    Yeah, just think about it - Screamer always has a backup plan. Maybe he left Dirge behind on the Moon in case his attack fails.

    I was hoping Dirge'd be morose and grumpy, but I guess Screamer doesn't really have such a side...

    Frankly, without the show I'd never buy these repaints. But with the show, they make so much sense... I'm now not even missing the different characters they were in G1 (Skywarp, TC, etc...) as this is so interesting. I hope we see more of them...

    Anyone who's seen the character models for them know that Dirge is Envy and Thrust is Gluttony. I think the female is just called "Female".

    But no, they're not necessarily the 7 Deadly Sins... just that Dirge and Thrust are.

    My Dirge's joints are just as tight as my Thundercracker's and Starscream's. No problems here. (Same goes with Cliffjumper related to Bumblebee & Patrol Bumblebee.)

    Looks pretty cool. I just wish it wasn't a clone, it's a good idea don't get me wrong but he just doesn't seem like a clone.

    Overlord was half female, Derrick Wyatt CONFIRMED that Female Starscream was based off of that character.
