From time to time interesting auctions for rare Transformers artwork appear on ebay. A new action has poped up. Ebay seller senuseret72 has put up an auction for previously unseen Seeker Box Art. Here is an image of the Seeker Box Art:

Woah, interesting...
Desert camo?

Sandbreaker?

Dunebuster?

What the hell is going on with the missle launchers?

Odd. Just odd. The wings formation of the second set of Seekers on the first is weird for me, never seeing the first set's box art. I do like the positioning of the blasters.

Sweeet!!!

Looks more G2 design

I've had one close to that for years. Top row third one in. Of course if this is a actual release I'll get it for my seeker collection. I think I'm around 55 unique ones now.

That's some really interesting artwork, but that collection of seekers is..... *drool*

*cough*

uneasy silence...

Is there a way to prove the legitimacy?

I love that yellow one with the chain guns. Sweet collection

Did you reapint those your self or did you buy all of them the way they are? Those are freakin SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!

Silverbolt, they did release the green seeker? Does it have a name?

I repainted or dyed every one of them. Here is the rest of my custom shelf.





As for the artwork I really hope that there is more color to that figure, a beige one while different is just a little bland, much like the all one shade of orange Sunstorm. Working on my own which I really need to finish some day.

No they have never released a green one to my knowledge. That one like the purple one is a custom of mine.

The neon green one is Flashpoint, the purple on is Deltaflight

As for the one with the gatling guns, its a favorite of mine as well, did a second version of it and sold it on ebay. It was much cleaner, but the color wasn't anywhere close to what I wanted.



It sold for around 50 dollars if memory serves.

My favorite is probably this one.

Cool, I always liked the idea of the Seekers being a larger squad than ever depicted.

I loved the one with the gatling guns as well, and also the blue one with the three missiles on each arm. Both of those should have been official releases. Also, is that an Optimus Prime seeker I spotted on the bottom row? The wing even looked like it had an Autobot symbol.

I've got a thing for seekers. That is an awesome collection! Well done!

Is that a Prime (bottom 3rd) and Fort Max (Top 4th) seeker? Awesome!

Just to go back on topic for a moment, those are definately G2 missiles.

Back off topic, that is an awesome collection of customs

Nice work, the gattling gun one is my fav as well. You should try and do one with a desert camo paint, like some one said earlier. Just a bit of a challange for ya!

That is Airmus Prime, a converted Decepticon that went on to become a field commander like Ultra Magnus and was the only one around capable of taking on the Matrix when Prime went down. Still have to finish off his second special weapon. A big cannon from a Zoids mod pack that I've kitbashed and chromed to look something like a smokestack.

The tri-bomb one is Rattler, a Cobra Thrust equiped with bombs from the GI Joe Rattler.

If there is a Fort Max in there it is purely unintentional

The problem is that I like to keep the paint schemes somewhat simple that way they have more of a G1 feel to them. Plus the more layers of paint you put on them the more likely they are to rub. Perhaps if I got a new ramjet and was able to dye him a tan to start. You have to go new because the dye will collect more in the worn areas and be a darker color, and you have to use Ramjet because he's white which is the best color for dye work. I also haven't done a seeker in probably three years, and really haven't done a custom in two. Use to be a stress reducer for me when I had a crappy job that kept me from having a set schedule, each week I worked two days on third and three on second.
