Out of all the different colored Seekers, I still don't understand why they chose to go with black and white. Wouldn't a Sunstorm colored one sell like hot cakes?

I know I'd've bought the heck out of a Sunstorm. This has little appeal to me.

That was my attitude towards it as well. Once I learned it was black & white I was out. I'd have even bought an acid storm or purple clone deco'd one.

Got mine!

Aww... I was refreshing Age three and up since sunday and I still missed it. I don't want the regular seeker colors so I'm pretty much done with this figure, I guess.

This release actually makes perfect sense to me; do a small, unpainted run to work the bugs out before they start with the mass release decos. It's like their yellow Giant release.

And you've got to think that if the main three Seekers are successes, they'll do a Sunstorm deco and milk this mold.

Aye, that makes sense

Oh I hope they do. I hope they do.

Although that example holds up, you're confusing Maketoys with Mastermind Creations.

I meant to say "the" not "their". Good catch.

The one thing that made this toy for me is that he could in the long run be repurposed as a lot of characters with little effort, such as Ramjet or King Atlas as some have suggested. Heck mine's going to land up a berserker Sixwing nod on the autobot shelf.
