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

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...

I've always generally liked the Raptor movie SS design. Not a fan of the stupid frat boy tribal tatoos, and I know all about the comic, but I still think that tats are dumb. It is a cool airplane design though.

If you mean figures in general, the most recent to date would be Bot Shots Skywarp. Transformable figures? Still technically Bot Shots. Articulated transformable figures? That'd be way back during ROTF. Although both Animated Skywarp and ROTF Skywarp were officially released in the same year, if I recall correctly the earlier sightings out of the two go to the Animated figure.

LOL!! I know right? Like what was the deal with that? Were they saying that screamer was tough and edgy, so he went to the local cybertronian tattoo charlie bots to get tatted up?
I guess that design works better on the movie but I just cant seem to like it.

Was that animated skywarp an exclusive or something? He fetches 100 plus dollars on ebay for some reason.

It came from the Reign of Starscream comics. The tats are supposed to be glyphs that were on the surface of the Allspark or somehting along those lines.
Apologies if you knew that, not trying to be a know it all, just trying to be conversational.
I actually like your explaination better.

No No I had no idea. The "reign of starscream" sounds neat though. Is that the comic series from the movie continuity that precedes the original t.f. movie?
If so I read up on it a few days ago and thought it sounded kind of neat. I wish I could get my hands on some of the t.f. comics both old and new, But I have no idea where to procure comics around here.

Nope, he was a mainline release. Wave 5 with Shockwave/Longarm to be exact. Also, those $100 prices are utterly outrageous if they are the Hasbro release. Takara I could understand, but not Hasbro. Searching eBay, the lowest price going for this guy is

$10-15, which is almost a steal.

Two methods: you could grab the comics you want off of online comic stores, or Google for the nearest one to you. I got the first two Rage of the Dinobots comics from eBay, although I and many others wouldn't really recommend buying comics off of eBay.

There was a Thundercracker released as well, wasnt there? I know that was MUCH harder to find, but I wouldn't mind a set of three Animated Seekers.

I dub this thread...Seeking Seekers! :lol:

I really want to nab a FOC Screamer though. Distribution here is...bad to say the least. Especially at wal mart. They havnt restocked the TFs in 3 MONTHS! Just today they did, all Bruticus. I picked up Onslaught, pretty cool figure. But I doubt I'll ever see Starscream. Maybe in 3 more months?

Keep searching bro. I got FoC Starscream Friday, and he is totally worth the hunt.
I'm in Chicago, and distribution in my general area is crap as well. I've just now, like today, seen a full set of Combaticons in a store. I bought mine over the course of three trips right before Christmas, and haven't seen any combaticons since then, until today.
