    I would definitely buy a toy of that design. The Classics Seeker mold was great for its time, but now it's become old, outdated, and horribly underwhelming compared to modern toy engineering.

    Plus, I really want a good, G1-style Thundercracker...

    Anything is possible! Classics Sunstreaker and Prowl first had their designs shown in the old Dreamwave series, right? When Generations continues hasbro may be nice and decide to release the Seekers with Guidi's design. I've got the first Classics seeker mold in seven incarnations. I would love to have a reason to buy more (new) Seekers.

    No.

    Well, maybe Prowl-ish, by nature of simply updating his G1 self into a modern car form. DW Sunstreaker still had the hood feet, IIRC, so definitely not.

    The Seeker designs look good, but if they get toys I'd like to see some changes. Mostly bigger torso and arms so that they are not almost all legs.

    I agree on the jets though -they look great.

    Yes.

    Loving the cencepts. Not sure if they'd translate into toy form that well, but its definitely worth HasTak looking into

    If these could translate into actual figures that looked like this I would buy them in a heartbeat. They look badass like this. But...remember Sonicron. His concept art was awesome and the actual figure looks terrible.

    That was due to the toy compensating for the G1 cassettes while staying in Classics scale.

    I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it this way, but he didn't have anything to do with sonicron (other than original art). The execution was entirely the manufacturer(can't remember who made it).

    As for people thinking you couldn't make a toy out of those designs, didn't we say the same thing about the movie line, animated, and prime? i think overall those lines made the transition to toys pretty well. it's all about who's behind it, and hasbro has takara's engineers who have been doing this for a long time.
    In short, Third party? maybe. Hasbro? chances are high (if they did it).

    Randy!
