    Admittedly, I don't particularly like this mold, but...
    Since I've never had a complete set of the three main seekers, I pretty much have to.

    As goofy as these look, Happy Meal toys are even worse nowadays, at least in terms of functionality. We haven't actually had transforming figurines in at least ten years. Happy Meal toys these days are mostly static figurines, with maybe a very basic, single-piece motion gimmick.

    It’s very unfortunate because no matter how, well, awkward they look, it’s better than not transforming at all

    I am even upsizing them for larger Seeker molds.

    In my mind it's a high tech version of Starscream's Slingshot.

    I think the upgrade kit will include forks for Starscream and Thundercracker, as well as arm guns for Skywarp. That way all three original Seekers have all the same weapons.

    It's a blue Starscream alright. Perfect for Thundercracker.

    I would be less bummed about Skywarp lacking the null rays if they would have committed to giving Thundercracker a third and completely different weapon to balance the trio. Maybe Skywarp is more of a Stealthy ShankEm kind of melee guy, why not? I reccomend JRC Desingn's set if they still have them. JRC has some of my favorite sculpted 3D Printed pieces and they're pricing is extremely reasonable.

    Starscream is probably my favorite of the G1 Core Class molds and I might be in for every deco they do. Its the cheapest way to get a swarm of articulation seekers with an amazing transformation for the scale.

    Unfortunately, JRC is defunct for the foreseeable future, so null rays would have to be sourced elsewhere
