It is BECAUSE they are voyager that I want these. And every picture I see makes me like them more. I just don't want to pay for the whole lot of 'em all at once. My accountant (read wife) might kill me.

I didn't notice that before, but now that you point it out, that is kind of strange. It doesn't tank these for me. But it is annoying.
I also wish they would have invested in different face sculpts for each one.

Who wants to look at underkibble? Well, maybe Arcee's... <_< >_>
I do find these to be almost G1 toy like in the underkibble. Couldn't they have better incorporated the chest vents into the engine intakes? These are voyagers, after all...

You really cant win with scale when it comes to seekers. You either have the robot mode in scale with other bots or the jet mode in scale with other earth vehicles. You cant have both. For me personally, I prefer the bot mode to be in scale with other bots on my shelf including autobots. i wouldnt want them towering over everyone just because jets are bigger than cars. That was one thing the G1 cartoon animators made the right call in my opinion.

So you want that these Igear conair seekers to be deluxe scale? Because at the Voyager scale they are too big & oversized in robot mode?
These are IDW TF comics seekers 3rd party toys. In the IDW TF comics these seekers in this particular art design are always shown much bigger in robot modes compared to the bigger autobots cars-bots in the IDW TF comics.
What are you talking about here? The 1984-1985 seekers in robot modes. were always shown much bigger than the bigger cars-bots in the G-1 cartoon series.
HasTak got the 1.0 seekers toy scale wrong. they needed to be Voyager size not deluxe scale. Having 1984-1985 seekers & bigger cars-bots the same toy scale for classics generations is wrong.
The main reasons the 1.0 seekers were deluxe scale toys. Was because HasTak's toy budget at the time was low. Also Deluxes TF toys are Hasbro's biggest sellers.
HasTak is attempting to correct the classics generations toy scale for the 2013-2014 years. I suspect around 2015,We'll see a Voyager scale seeker toy for Generations.
Most on-line TF fans have acknowledged that a lot of the Classics Generations toys were made at the wrong toy scale. Most welcome HasTak's attempts to correct the classics generations toy scale in 2013-2015.

X,Is the only one here lashing out & being overly OCD upset about these Conair seekers not being deluxe scaled toys.

Keeping to the topic at hand, the regular seekers already turned me off with the proportionally skinny arms, giant shins, and long chins, so add to that everything that makes a conehead even uglier and I wouldn't give these a second thought, even if the price was remotely decent.
