    Looks okay but I dunno about the light blue boobs and crotch. It would look better and be more accurate if it were the same silver as Skywarp.

    These look great to be sure, but can someone explain to me why i should replace my Yes Model seekers with these.

    I cant see the justification honestly.

    Well... unfortunately Make Toys made a deal with the TFW2005 boards. If you don't replace all your old Seakers with the new ones you're account will be altered. You will only be able to communicate in Golden Girls GIFs.

    I replaced my Starscream and Meteor is slightly better, although he has lots of problems on his own. I don’t know that I’ll bother with these two though as the YM are good enough for now

    Ugh, if it weren’t for the tiny pinhead on this mould, I would be all over it. Maybe someone can mock up a replacement on shapeways that’s larger, but can still work with the transformation.

    Nice, someone sell me their YES model T-Crizzle to me if they're going this route.

    I'm all in.
    Meteor looks and feels so good, it's one of my favorite figures of the year despite its minor flaws... And I'm not even a "plain toon" guy...

    To tell you the truth,I love how MakeToys designed the tailfins to fold away.I always hated those sticking out the back.From the G1 Cartoon I don't remember them that way,but I could be wrong.I do plan on getting these one day,if they don't sell out before I get the money saved up.As for the rest of the figures I really can't find any flaws with them.

    As I said in the Skycrow thread, hopefully the GF versions are coming out soon as well.

    I’m pretty sure they’re not light blue, they’re gray/silver. They just look like they have a blue tinge due to the rest of the figure being blue.
