I think people buy the seekers just to have a complete set regardless of mold quality.

If you start with Starscream, you feel obligated to have Skywarp and Thundercracker too. Not you personally.

 

Well, let's hope we actually make it to wave 8, and we don't get end-of-line syndrome.

 

Good news.

the poor guy got no love from the fan sites pics at botcon...

 

I can't get enough of toys based on the games, or even toys I can use for the games. So obviously, Thundercracker is a must-have.

I know how you feel, I'm planning on getting Orion Pax and Megatron just to repurpose them as pre-War versions of themselves.

"Pre-mute" Prime Bumblebee is my excuse to get the new Bumblebee...

Skywarp's supposed to come out AFTER Thundercracker (I thiiink?) so we at least needn't worry about Thundercracker.

To me it seems like enough is coming out that Skywarp will be fine, too, though.

 

Instant buy. Also it's nice to know that Wave 8 will usher in Skywarp, rounding out the trio.  

 

Skywarp's actually who I was referring to. Seems like we're definitely on track to get Thundercracker, but Skywarp's pretty far out there yet.

 

I for one LOVE this mold so I am thrilled to see how good TC turned out. I look forward to seeing what kind of paint up for Skywarp.

 

Thundercracker just might be the version of this mold for me

 

Yeah putting him next to that awesome waspinator was a bad move. He got so overshadowed.

 

Yeah, keep telling yourself that....If Bay believed in it then you would've seen more than just that crappy version of Starscream in those films. His idea of Seekers were old senile bots that fart and fall apart.

Anyway moving on to more relevant things. I like this figure so it will be bought.

 

At least if Skywarp becomes Skyquake-levels of screwed over, there's still a Takara version that would be probably easier to find.

 

Agreed, it's the least Hasblow could do for screwing us on those Botcom Rainmakers.

 

I hadn't realised before but you could get a great update Triggerhappy with that mold. It's almost the same jet style with the guns on the wings. *crosses fingers that Hasbro sees this post*

 

Looks like the animated mold, made G1.. sorta.
Ugly, but interesting.

 

The FOC Seeker mold looks fantastic as Thundercracker.

I wish i had the Foc Starscream figure, but alas that wave still hasn't been released in Canada.

 

good luck USA! I'm positive Canada will not make it to wave 8....consider yourself lucky if we even see wave 4...

yes it has. I got mine at Toys R Us a month ago at least, there was a sighting way back on May 13.

 

I think this mold has a lot to like. For one thing it is a very versatile which adds to the play / display value. There is a hidden feature that allows you to display the weapons in jet mode to make look more like a floating tank.

I have not gotten one yet but I can't wait get Starscream who IMO has a better paint job.

In my next toy run it is going to be SandStorm and Starscream.

 

I posted this weeks ago, but it went unnoticed

Well, since Skywarp's coming, I can go ahead and get this.
Will be disappointed if Hasbro Skywarp looks like Takara's. But I'm sure it won't.

 

This is like Generations all over again. Just nailed the color scheme right out of the gates. Now time will tell if the final figure will actually look like that and if Skywarp will actually be black and purple.
