As do I. It seems KM-04 is oddly missing from their lineup... I wonder if they put it on hold with FP's insecticons so recently released?

Apparently they're working on the Insectrain, and have reserved KM-04 for them.

I think MMC's hand was forced to bump these up with whoever is/was looking to release the other HoS Starscream. Otherwise I doubt we'd be seeing these already...

As for the figs themselves, they look good. I'm kind of glad they went the direction they did with Shockwave now with the size and price that led to me jumping ship on HOS because the three of these will probably just be too spendy. Seekers kinda lose their cool factor when the damn things cost ~$100 a piece.

Any idea when Prominion and terminus Hexatron are supposed to come out? I so want them.
And I agree that Prominion is meant to represent Prima. I mean come on, he has the freaking Star Saber!

Hexatron - most likely in the Fall. As for Prominion, I have no idea since we just saw him yesterday most likely he's still a year out.

You know, I'm not sold on who he is supposed to be, but THAT SWORD is unquestionable.

Well' to me his is TOTALLY Prima. I no longer have the protoform Optimus from the movie and Prominion looks SO much better. Definitely saving up money for him and Hexatron. Prominion will look good alongside Primus. Now all I need is Vector Prime, Alpha Trion, Nexus Prime and Soundblaster.

MasterMind Creations have updated their facebook page with the promo images that were on display at this weekend's Roll Out Roll Call 3.

We get clear shot of their upcoming Hearts of Steel inspired Seekers KM-05 Air Screech, KM-06 Warper, and KM-07 Stormer. These renders gives us clears shots of all three in both modes, front and back. It appears each figure will get a unique set of weapons.

We also see the next figure in their new Reformatted line, Prominion, a tribute to Nova Prime. According to their facebook page we will learn more about this character in the comic that comes packed with R-01 Terminus Hexatron.

Check out the mirrored images below.

A young and naive warrior runs into a game that he could never afford to lose.

The mysterious opponent, Seraph, will gift him with the ancient swords, and change his destiny.

The story will be revealed in the comic of Terminus Hexatron.

By the powers of Photoshop!!!!!

Seriously though, these colors are exactly what I wanted to see!! Gorgeous. I hope the price tag is as attractive as the toys.

All three must be mine!!!

I remember reading the TPB and thinking, someone really could and should do figures of these designs! the Guido sketches in the back made them seem so plausible.

its no surprise i am all in for these figures :BOWDOWN:

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 10:08 pm

By Primus I WILL own these!

EDIT: Upon further inspection, there are knobs that appear to be able to crank the propellers. If that's the case, then that is even cooler!

Starscream and Thundercracker Air Screech and Stormer look good but that Skywarp Warper, =P~

That`s Guido for you

. Bumblebee has the most obvious transformation that I`m surprised he hasn`t been done yet.

You know, after reading your comment, I went back to check it out. I believe you might be right.

And then, I noted something I missed before, unique weapons for each Seeker. now that's a nice touch.

WOW. That is a really nice mold......in bot mode anyways. Those new pics are impressive nevertheless. Stormers colours look spectacular on that mold. The red on those wings looks evil.

Those are looking pretty sweet. I'd be totally into these if they were more affordable. I feel like the colors could be a bit more subdued and weathered, considering the steampunk nature of the series. Really loving all the gears all over the place and the gatling guns.

The bot mode looks spectacular. But...

1) Alt mode looks ridiculous. This is one of those TFs that have good bot mode,sucky alt mode.A good TF toy is a TF that have good bot mode and good alt mode.

2) Price is going to be ridiculous. Trust me on that one. I prefer buying Deluxes/Voyagers rather than having to sell my kidney to get one of these guys.

3) I dont support 3rd party stuff. Never bought one and never will.

Conclusion : Total pass.

I'm sure I could be alone on this but I'm just not digging these seekers. But everything else looks top shelf! :VEHI:

At least consider picking up Prominion when he is released because as of now he seem to be the only way of getting Prima's Star Saber. The Star Saber is a MUST to anyone who has Nexus Prime. I'm planning on getting both him and Hexatron.

Love it or hate it, it's pretty close to some of Guidi's concept art:

Not impressed with the plane modes. Its basically the robot folded up in layers.

Feeling TC's colors on this one the best.

News Credits: 7 · by **alldarker** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:20 am

I love the way these look and how closely they resemble Guido Guidi's original artwork. I've been impressed with MMC since Knight Morpher KMC-01, which is still an amazing piece of work. Even though I only own the first, slightly flawed release of KMC-01, it's never given me problems and I appreciate the way MMC took criticism of the flaws to heart and improved them on the next releases.
I'm trusting them to produce an expensive but amazing Cyclops (the prototype images of which already look amazing), and I'm also going to trust them on these HoS Seekers; Air Screetch primarily but perhaps all three (depending on cost and size). And the unique weapons for each Seeker... Superb :APPLAUSE:

Truth be told though, I don't care much for either Terminus Hexatron or for Prominion...

I have to say, these look lovely.

Screech is my favorite as a HOS just because, but I have to say I like Warper the most out of context as some sort of Nightmare flyer. I hope he's voyager in scale. MC seems to like large scale.
