    Simultaneous release?

    Better get a good deal for the three.

    Yeah, I makes sense from a business perspective. :( 
    But since DX9 is releasing their set soon I don't think IF is really going to lure G1 purists away. If DX9's Seekers were utter crap maybe, but they look pretty decent.

    Maybe later IF can release a translucent Skywarp with their Shockwave or if they ever get around to making an IDW Galvatron or Bumblebee.

    When you buy all three you get the parts needed to make a clear Ghost Starscream version of the figure.

    If I DO get these guys it'll be through Chinese Ebay sellers as they'll be cheaper through there.


    Of course the way the Legends KOs are pumping out, I may just go that route.

    Have there been any IF KOs? I thought there was only the DX9 Devastator.

    Oh, that's the upscaled one. Their classic Grimlock got that as well.

    Looks like TCP got a production sample in today!
    Can't wait to get these seekers in hand.

    isnt anyone concerned about TC colour?
    dx9 tc is the right azure (but wrong size) for me
    while both IF sw and tc don't look as good as their starscream or is it just me?

    That definitely seems built around Starscream. They don't look bad to me, but I wish TC had received a bit love. An individual head sculpt and accessories. Especially since IF is IDW inspired and I don't think anyone has given TC more focus than them.

    Good review! Looks like DX9 Seekers and IF Seekers have scary parts to the transformation. The shoulders on the DX9 guys and the legs on the IF seekers. The height difference didn't seem that great between DX9 Conehead and the IF Seekers. Just from other pictures and reviews I expected the DX9's Cone head to tower over IF's Seekers. Maybe IF's Tyrant's Wings are about the same size as their Drift then.

    You know the solution to that: Two sets of each! ;)

    I've got the DX9 Coneheads shipping from TFSource; if I really love them I'll double dip on the Seekers from both companies. Or sell off the IF Ghost Starscream to pick up the DX9 Ghost Starscream.

    two sets of each.. and then if they release an azure IF thundercracker, not to mention acidstorms, sunthingies and what else.

    IMO: I'll be getting all forms of seekers from IF (which scale best with my stuff) and try the cheapest solution to getting a dx9 thundercracker.

    From what I've seen the IF coneheads are really sleek, while dx9 look.. ...fat. kinda like the dx9 prime announcement...

    Honestly, this is a relief, once we've got our seekers in all the flavorings to come we can focus on whats missing (fast cars mostly imo) at legends scale.
    A year ago we were feeling autobot overwhelmed while now seekers are the only cons I need for a complete season 1 Con cast.
    Being able to choose between the dx9 and IF seekers is awesome tbh, finally we have the chance to chose knowing the alternative (or going for both but still knowing the products beforehand).

    Between us, given this chance it would be nice if we used it to try and keep prices where they are, instead of allowing them to slowly carve higher prices release after release. Mostly cos since IF released Mannicle and Turret, (and dx9 blur and ironhide) their customer base has increased which doesn't justify a price increase (if not for greed) :p

    IF absolutely killing it as usual.

    Great transformation, two solid modes, and ALL the articultion one could hope for including all important nullray swivel(bicep swivel). I am going to skip them sadly for dx9(sans nullray swivel) but must acknowledge how brilliant this is.

    Nice review from Peaugh, good to point out potential issues.

    Pretty soon, we're going to need flight stands for our flight stands so we can fit all the jets on one shelf like some kind of epic WW2 bomber formation...

    Maybe time to invest in a roll of fishing line and just hang them from the shelf above or ceiling...

    And here I was hoping that someone would make a legends scale Unicron that transforms into diorama's that perfectly fit in IKEA shelves... (the flight stands for the flight stands are included obviously)...
