Like, Jazz has an actual, GOOD G2 release, WTF is this orange thing?

These all come from UNRELEASED designs. I've been looking at that unreleased blue seeker for years. I was thinking about making a custom of it. But now I don't have to.

I guess it was unclear I was being facetious, but I'm not asking where they got it from, that was clear in the newspost. I'm more asking why they wasted plastic on this hideous orange thing rather than, ya know, actually do G2 Jazz in a G2 themed release, haha. Most of these were clearly never released for a reason.

Like Zibarro.

I do recall that, but I do think SG Prime staying a baddy in this direction is pretty fitting!
(I did think the Nova Prime direction was interesting in its own right.)

Yeah, it was an inversion of Megatron becoming even more evil as Galvatron by having an evil Optimus becoming less evil as Nova.

Although, since the Autobots are evil in SG, a SG Autobot becoming good would be a sort of twisted way of saying that he's not in his right mind. In a sense, a villain turning good is the mirror universe equivalent of normal-universe insanity.

I never thought of it like that! That's a pretty clever idea, it does suit the general deranged behaviour of the SG 'Bots very well.

I wasn't planning to collect every weird seeker deco, but after I talked myself into G2 Ramjet and Sandstorm, this was the only way it could go. Passing on everyone else since I generally don't get alternate decos of the same character, and I've never had any interest in Toxitron.
