The TRU Exclusive ones are Hasbro reissues of the G1 toys, part of the "Commemorative Series". They're similar to the originals, but have their missiles lengthened (to 2 inches) and launchers retooled so they comply with current Toy Safety Laws.

The lengthening works for the Null Rays, but for the other missiles, not so much. Thrust and Ramjet never got reissued by Hasbro, since Toys 'R Us stopped carrying the line.

Oh so they were G-1? That explains why I didnt know about them.

On another note I was able to finally procure starscream last night and am blown away by this figure! The only complaint I have is that I wish his null rays attached a bit higher up on his shoulder,But Im kinda getting used to them sitting on his forearms.
He looks great with the rest of the FOC and WFC figures. Most importantly though, He isnt small! He is regular deluxe size which rocks!
I wish all the FOC figures were the size of screamer. Some of the FOC bots dont even fit in with the WFC line and I would have thought it a no brainer that hasbro would try and keep those two lines consistant.
But yeah. Props to hasbro for the FOC screamer! A1! Now I must have
T. cracker and Sky warp. I looked for sky warp on ebay but no dice. Is that the only method I can use to procure him?
What do you guys think about that mold? Are you as impressed with it as I am?

FOC Skywarp hasn't been released yet and for now is a TakaraTomy-only item, so expect to pay a premium. We haven't heard about a Thundercracker yet, but who knows?

Hasbro usually does do Thundercracker...and neglects Skywarp.

If Hasbro was going to make a Voyager-class FoC Seeker, it would most likely be Starscream. Then, MAYBE a Skywarp repaint would follow, although I would be surprised.

When was the last time Hasbro gave us a Skywarp figure? Classics? Walmart MP?

Pretty sure when Tak made the Encore 2-pack of Skywarp and T-cracker, that was on the shelf at the same time as Encore Screamer. Not in the US however, so not sure it counts.

You can buy him from our many sponsors, BBTS, TFSource, etc.

Wasn't it Revenge of the Fallen Skywarp (walmart exclusive voyager if I remember)

I think you're right. Man that was a long time ago. I remember thinking that when the third movie came out, we'd get that Voyager repainted as Thrust and Dirge to round out the group. I soon added that to my list of disappointments related to the live action movies.

Oh o.k. That is when he finally becomes available you mean.
So those sights even sell exclusives from over seas and such? I wasnt aware of that. I suppose they will tack on a mark up. I will pay 50 bucks for a sky warpo of that mold I guess. I LOVE THAT MOLD!!! Im truly impressed!!
Was I the only one who thought the movie seeker design was just awful? I mean starscream was just down right ugly!
It stank for me because screamer is one of my favs.
The alt plane mode was nice though at least. Those raptors are awesome. Those things are fearsome on the battle field....er battle....air...
