    The sexiest the seekers ever been, in my opinion, was in their Raptor bodies (thank Primus for iGear and the addons I have for them).

    Howvever Armada (body) Starscream looked pretty good. Especially when drawn by Sarah Stone. Funnily enough we’re finally getting a voyager sized one (pretty sure I already tossed my deluxe figure) from Hasbro. Would have been better in 3P form, but no complaints from me when Hasbro — once a blue moon — offers us up a nice voyager that fits into my IDW collection.

    I remember those, beautiful design.

    I saw and I'm with you. Armada designs have a special place in my heart so I'll buy that thing in a second.

    supposedly it isn't, but the only thing coming out is just gender-bent versions of characters using Eris. Drift seems to be nothing more than a drawing atm.

    IF Drift is coming. He’ll still be a he.

    Although I suppose the upcoming Drift and this Eris remold will let MMC know if the original Eris was one trick pony or not. I already said something pretty rude in the past and I won’t and don’t want to repeat it — but I do hope if the sales/fanfare end up being bad — it’ll maybe make MMC rethink their current reformatted plans.

    Idk. For sexiest starscream body... I would say TFP starscream screams femininity. Just my opinion, it's also my favorite design for starscream.

    Unfortunately with Eris: Armadonna, I'm not feeling it at all. Face is improved. But there should be a way to rotate the guns to have them not facing the ground but the sky, they should be a little closer to the spine and not so far out. Just to make here seem more balance. In my opinion. Maybe there is a way just not shown in the photo.

    Super sloppy (making dinner for the kid and I) but it's kinda fun to see the previous and current versions side by side, more progress was made that I thought.

    At first they shrunk the horns, but I see side-by-side they actually made her head smaller. In fact, seem a the thinned her out overall.

    It does look good, though I think I wouldn't have minded a "Brawn Hilda" look.

    Though, it does look more like an alternate version of Eris in the current model, too

    Seems like female Cybertronians in general sell.

    Don't know they were so sure it wouldn't work in the 80's.

    It's a different time. People go out of their way to collect nothing but female figures, even. I think a lot of it has to do with the global popularity of anime and its culture on top of more things in general being considered gender neutral now compared to then.

    I suppose I was being hyperbolic there.

    I knew very well as a male child in the 80's you could not be the kid who admitted he played with his sister's Jem, She-Ra or Barbie's.

    And that was wrong.

    But the Misfits' songs were better

    The new revised headsculpt is much better. I'd still prefer to see something new, but may pick this up in the interim.

    Alright and back to Eris;

    With the first two being tanks, is the general concensus that they'll stick with tanks or do people generally feel that they'll eventually have her homage other vehicles?

    It's been pretty strongly hinted that the next Eris remold will likely be Bludgeon. Not sure what plans there are for this mold beyond that, but I doubt this mold is suited to be anything but a tank. MMC hasn't mentioned anything about Eris appearing again in the line later as a different mold.

    IF-02 is going to be Drift, which will feature the hero car from Initial D as his alt mode, and he won't be a genderbend.

    Beyond that, MMC designers have talked about multiple designs they've worked on or are working on for the IF line that are in queue for production. Presumably the next after Drift will be Windblade. And they've mentioned they're working on other unnamed fembots for IF as well, but presumably none of those are Eris-spins on other characters.

    ETA forgot it was mentioned there is one more remold idea for Eris:
