    I love the idea of G2 camouflage. Let's get as gaudy as possible and slap our name right out there. It's like both sides were just like "%×÷@ it. Let's just end the war. I'm right here, shoot me. I give 0% crap." Love it!

    Action Master ftw!

    Side note... How many Seekers are out in Voyager scale this far out of all Seekers previously released in the old Classics deluxe mold? (And then some given Red Wing and Sandstorm.)

    Shocked there haven't been anything like CHMS KOs for this yet, either.

    Huh, that’s weird. They didn’t go the whole way with red kneepads and yellow intake details (even though the regular coneheads do). Missed opportunity, now he looks kind of bland despite the fact he’s literally purple and cyan.

    I'm talking about from the gas. I don't remember if it was from a comic or a Fun Pub story

    Shame this is a cone head, since it\'s got the slipstream energy, it just needs a Starscream head

    It’s not supposed to be Slipstream though.

    True. But it isn't accurate to the original toy. The Botcon toy, maybe. Then again the original toy had the option to be a conehead... like most of the seekers come to think of it.

    Love these. And with every G2 repaint, we're closer and closer to God himself:

    I\'m gunna get 2 g2 ramjets and another skywarp/thunder cracker pack since bbts isn\'t scalping it. I\'ll use the extra ramjets and skywarp to make a slipstream by switching the upper back wings. And swapping heads. I\'ll paint the thunder cracker face red to homage armada starscream given how much siege redwing reminds me of the before unicron battles version of the same starscream.

    Totally agree! This thing is dripping with Slipstream energy, great Idea to give it a Starscream head! May even use a Siege Starscream head because they look a little different from the Earthrise heads. Now to find an extra Siege Starscream so I may decapitate.

    Edit: Also I just love the wording Hasbro felt the need to use in the description for this figure - ("complete with letters across the side of his jet mode that read "RAMJET" so he'll never be confused for any other among the Seeker ranks.") Like...hmmmmm...who in the name of Primus would we ever confuse this Seeker for???? Cough...Slipstream...Cough, Cough!!! :lol
