    The designs are nice, but I don't like the wings to point down for the original 3 seekers. I don't think I would be interested in purchasing them. I would rather have AFFORDABLE voyager seekers that resemble the G1 versions, something Hasbro/Takara should have done by now.

    Wait, so they're actually using the name 'Seekers'? Guess it's not copyrighted like character names?
    Either way, hope to hear more news for them soon. But seriously, where's Hummel? Hope he's released around the same time as the Seekers.

    Can a company like Hasbro even claim to own a word as generic as "seeker"?

    That's what I figured, which is why I suppose it's fair game. I guess I'm just used to all these 3P companies coming up with their own names for everything.

    Was Striker Manus first solicited as Striker Convoy? Names change. He will probably end up being called Seeker Meteor anyways.

    If so they could cash in from the Harry Potter franchise

    So the Seekers will be in upper deluxe size as OP and Megs were upper Voyager?

    i think the gray Seeker Pursuer will be plain while Starscream and co will have Dinobot spoils on them.

    A bit small for me if they are large Deluxe. I pretty much want Starscream as tall as Optimus and Megatron, but a bit thinner build.

    It looks as if they're just a head shorter than Rioter Despotron, so given the wings and probable accessories I see them as roughly the same size and pricepoint.

    Wait, where are we all getting the idea that these are deluxes? If anything, they'll be around the same size as Rioter. The only reason the seeker is smaller in the teaser picture is because he's farther away—it's perspective...Rioter is clearly in the foreground

    Oh yeah, almost forgot that Seekers are lower leader size in MP scale, so they are meant to be lower voyager in CHUG.

    I think that one random Sears catalog from the 80's was the first time they were ever called Seekers. I'm not aware of there being any sort of trademark on the name.

    I'd be far more inclined to buy all three of they WERE smaller and cheaper. Otherwise, I'm only getting whichever one looks the best: Starscream or
    Skywarp.

    I'm double dipping on the Striker mold because of how nice Noir looks. 3P toys are too expensive to justify it too much tho.

    It better be a shadow silhouette. I'm pretty sure we have a deal in place where all 3P are required to give us the shadow reveal, and then we are all required to bitch about said shadow. I'll miss that process if they skip the shadow.

    After taking another look at the comic, I think Pursuer will be a troop builder a la "purple seekers in the background in G1"
