Fourth Seeker from Transformers Timelines Issue 8 - Machine Wars: Termination Comic Identity Revealed as Red Wing

Isn't that also the name of the pet bird/partner of the Marvel Comics hero Falcon?

Wonder which, if any, generic Seeker he's meant to be.

I'm really holding out for a plaid seeker. And they way they crank them out these days, it shouldn't be a long wait.

The reason for their Tweeting this guy's identity is because someone asked the Club during the Q&A of the TCC Comic Panel at BotCon who the fourth Seeker in the MW comic was supposed to be. They couldn't remember who it was, so they promised to Tweet this answer later.

Also RobotMasters Wrecker Hook, Car Robots Super Indy Heat, and Car Robots Super Wrecker Hook.

Touche! Nice seeing the complete list, but I definitely have less interest in those clear super versions.

That said, would be nice to see the other car brothers redone. I could see an X-brawn from Ironhide and a RID Prowl from Sideswipe... but given, that mold has been over-used for sure.

Mind you, getting off topic admittedly. Gotta take the TFCC subscription chatter elsewhere.

So yeah. Machine Wars botcon. Also still missing a redone Thrust and Tankor, among others. Also would love a MW Soundwave redone. Hmmm.

I wouldn't count on Red Wing getting a toy, on the account of the name being possibly too generic or taken already. Besides, I'm still waiting on Skyraider versions of Hellbat, Guyhawk and Hooligan from 2009.

Nice look, and nice name. As long as they don't take "Redstar": that's a fanfic name of mine. There aren't any red Seekers outside of Starscream out there, if I remember correctly. If they make a toy out of this, I'd try my best to snag it.

I wouldn't mind seeing a TFSS figure coming from this.

I was just last night thinking while watching season 1 of G1 with my partner, in the midst of explaining how the BotCon "Rainmakers" are not from Divide and Conquer, but MTMTE part 1, that we really need a RED generic seeker. Lo and behold, here he is! Note, I had not seen or read anything about the FunPub Machine Wars comic until now, so Red Wing is a complete, and welcome, surprise to me.

Maybe because there hasn't been a generic Seeker that is red yet? What's wrong with a red and white Seeker?

Like I've said before, the Seekers were the Vehicons of the old days. They're fantastic army builders.

Didn't Hasbro or somebody say there was an Armada Starscream remake on the way?

Yeah, a Generations toy is being made.

And for asking the question at the Con panel to begin with. Thank you, PC.
