    That would be cool. I doubt I could afford both then.

    As if $100 for a $30-$40 toy isn't bad enough. Now I have to blow more money to get the correct version. PISS ON THE CARTOON VERSIONS!!! :mad

    Oh snap....I'm officially interested in Omega Supreme now. I'll have to see what the head looks like like.

    And If Taktomy releases Seeker clones in Henkei, I'm easily sold. Definite buys. I'll wait and see.

    There's a face in that pic?????

    Anyway, I was assuming the new face would be simply an extra part that fit inside the canopy on the head. Then if you didn't like it, it could be removed pretty easily. (it's obvious the canopy is designed to be able to open, but my old Omega doesn't seem to want to open without a fight.)

    It's going to be a newly sculped face inside the visor. I don't think the picture is of the final product, though....

    As for the "clones", I assumed 5 G1 Jetrons mentioned there were simply Thundercracker, Skywarp, Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet. Really need a scan here :(

    well we obviously need a better image. *L*

    As for the seekers, who knows, it could just be cannon fodder for all we know. Or it could be a black SS deco, a clear deco, an orange deco, skywarp, and ramjet. hehehe

    There's not a chance they are the Classics seekers, rather then the G1?

    We are talking about an illustration of Henkei toys, so I'd say they are illustrated as a recolour of Henkei Starscream. Recoloured like G1 Jetron :)

    Can't really see the face but Omega Supreme is seriously cool and I always wanted one so, sold!

    Astrotrain and Rodimus both look very nice too.

    I'll wait and see on these Seekers, could be anything.

    Omega's face was very visible in the cartoon, but the Encore seems to be closer to the Marvel comic version where it was much subtler.

    Do we need this thread because of that Figure-Oh scan thread anymore?

    I'm not seeing the face on Omega.
    And I'm interested in the seekers as well. Can't wait for pics.

    Much I don't want to get dissed for not drooling on the cartoon designs, I'm in agreement. Frankly, I'd prefer it as an optional insert, card or otherwise, like the Ratchet and Ironhide heads, so I could cheerfully leave it out.

    That depends entirely on what you mean by "well", though, doesn't it? If you mean how well it sold, then great. But if you mean how "cartoon-accurate" it looked (a non-sequitur if ever there was one), then I question the phrasing. I thought the point of the Encore toys was pretty much to bring back the G1 toys, not to make them look like the cartoon. I don't want Bumblebee with the cartoon face, either.

    Now the Seeker redecoes I'm interested in. I'd love to see what they've got cooked up for those guys.

    What I meant was the quality of the sculpt. The original Bumblebee face is on the keychain reissue for a nice, affordable option. If you prefer TFC Meister, well, that's on you. :lol
