    As a preface, let me say that this is my first time collecting, I grew up with Beast Wars, bought some toys on occasion, and Prime sucked me into the Fandom.

    I've always liked the Seekers, and recently, with a purchase of ROTF Leader Class Starscream and MP Thundercracker, I decided that for my first collection, I'd like to do the 3 Season 1 Seekers, and the 3 Coneheads.

    I've got some rules about my collection:

    1. Every mold used in the collection must be different, no buying redecos of the same mold to fill out the line
    2. Since the original seekers were all recolors of Starscream, every mold must be have been used on Starscream.
    3. For an attempt at scale, Voyager Class and up is preferred.


    That's kind of as far as I've hashed it out so far. With some searching here is my collection so far:

    ROTF Leader Starscream
    MP Thundercracker (If I understand right, there are 2 versions, this is the Hasbro 2012 version)
    Animated Voyager Skywarp

    ...
    Cybertron Dirge
    Armada Ramjet

    I've been able to do it so far, the only one I'm missing is Thrust, right now I have a 6" Titanium Thrust as a place holder, but can anyone point me to a Voyager Class Thrust, that was a Starscream Redeco, that I haven't used the mold yet? I've tried a couple resources and haven't found anything yet, so I figured why not you guys.

    I think at the moment I'm hoping for a Thrust redeco of Powerizer Starscream. I might end up buying a couple and trying my hand at butchering, I mean customizing them.

    Does the iGear Thrust qualify? ;)

    I haven't heard of him before, but I like what I see online, thanks for the tip!

    Edit: Just looked, love the figure, but not sure if I'll be able to find him.

    Yeah that might tricky but check the b/s/t section and of course there's always eBay... he's a pretty popular figure though that's for sure.

    Ok, I'll take some this weekend when I have time and post them up.

    Also I have a request, can anyone show me a size comparison of ROTF Thrust to any of the molds I mentioned in my collection?

    When you say Armada Ramjet... do you mean Universe? Because Armada Ramjet is a Minicon. Not that Universe is much better, since he really is Ramjet in name only.

    How about a G1 Ramjet, or RotF Ramjet (redeco of the original Voyager Starscream mold from the first movie)?

    As for Thrust... maybe you could find another Dirge (potentially RotF Dirge) and repurpose this Starscream: Image:Tru2005Cybertronstarscream.JPG - Transformers Wiki as Thrust?

    I just think that RotF Dirge would fit in a lot better than RotF Thrust, who is pretty shrimpy even for a Deluxe.

    Here are some pics of what I have so far, and as for the RotF Dirge suggestion, as a deluxe class toy itself, is it much bigger than RotF Thrust? I'd really love comparison pics of any suggestions if you can provide them, next to a voyager figure (maybe something from my collection), I have a poor time estimating the size of the figure without something next to it. But I do appreciate your help guys, you've given me some great ideas so far!

    Edit: I have a handful of pics, but it's not letting me upload, I'll try again later.
