I know we've been told that this is the last time we'll ever see this mold.
I know that a lot of collectors are ready to see it retired because it's outdated.
I'm still going to miss this mold.

Pretty neat. I mean, I won't get it, but it is a cool colour scheme.
Having recently been converted to the idea of the Seekers being deluxes I'm actually considering picking up some Classics Seekers, probably starting with a cheaper one to see if I even like the mold. Out of interest, how big is it? Could someone post a picture of a Classics Seeker next to, say, CW Skydive?

This mold is G.O.A.T. !!!
(Greatest of all time for the non hop hop fans)
Such a shame to see this mold go because the Armada Starscream mold doesn't hold a candle to this one. Cmon, TFCC give us a god damn Redwing (the character you created) and I wouldnt mind a G2 Sandstorm from the Ramjet version of the mold either...

How about a proper Sunstorm with white instead of black?

Whilst there is no doubt that the Classics Seeker mold is a good one, it is dated as all hell, and the Deluxe Armada Starscream mold is objectively better- especially in the articulation department.
Myself, I'd like to see 'em bring out a Gunpla-style model kit version of the Classics Seeker mold, complete with all the launcher/wing/head variations on the sprues. Considering it'd be unassembled and unpainted, and cast entirely out of grey plastic (with the exception of the light piping/cockpit, and obviously any non-plastic parts like springs, pins, screws and polycaps) the "one box builds any kind of Seeker" still probably wouldn't cost much more than £20, and that's being pessimistic. Granted you'd need modelling and painting skills to build and finish them, but I think it'd be worth it. Heck, I'd buy 12 (though obviously not all at once). In fact, proper transformable Transformers model kits in general would be awesome, it's just obviously the Seekers would be the best application of that because, with all the various recolours, retools and the trillions of generics that appeared in the cartoons and comics, you could theoretically get an infinite amount of characters out of just one product. Get on it Hasbro!

Still wish we got Redwing but oh well G2 Starscream is a good way to end the mold.

I'd LOVE a G2 Sandstorm from that, I only ever got the exclusive skywarp version from a long time ago, it's a pretty nice mold, but I wouldn't mind seeing a larger and sleeker version.

My homey. Although I've been wanting Sunstorm from the FOC mold. He's shown in the comics that way (for all of maybe three panels) and he looks awesome.
My G2 Starscream is an example of shoddy QC. Loose bits everywhere, paint slop, stress and possibly cracking at the pins. First time I've been thoroughly disappointed with a sub or club figure as far as QC goes.

As the secret is not really a secret any longer, given our news reporting over here, Seibertron.com is proud to the present the latest addition to the TFCC Subscription Service 3.0 set - mystery figure Nightracer with Shakar!
Redecoed from the Generations Legend class Tailgate figure, Nightracer sports a black and blue paint scheme, as does tiny Shakar (with some added yellow). Also included in the gallery offerings below are comparison and full looks at BotCon 1995 Nightracer, and the Whiz-Bang variant homaging the Go-Bots of old. Take a look at a preview below, and click on any of the images to view the full galleries.

What gun is that?
Also, on the Seeker mold subject: They need to come out with a suitable updated mold, yeah. This one got alot of use but it's time to let them cook up a worthy successor.

We should have gotten Redwing...
But instead we got this...

Yes, because a generic who existed for all of ONE PANEL in a comic with no lines, characterization or anything else, and only got a name because of the nagging of an overly obsessed fan TOTALLY deserves a new toy more than one of the first ever female Transformers toys, who also happened to be the creation of Raksha, one of the organizers of BotCon 1995. You'd get on just fine; she's a major GEEWUNer who hates Beast Wars and everything that followed it.

That would be nice. But I do give them a free pass on that because they did gang mold their sunstorm with the other 2. Maybe e hobby will pick up the mold and do its variants. Just because funpub made the incredibly poor decision to stop using the mold, doesnt mean hasbro or takara wont use it again. This mold is money in the bank. Personally, my proper Sunstorm itch was scratched by CHMS a long time ago. But I hope this mold makes a comeback. Funpub has gone against their word before like they did with "no more UT molds".

Don't forget that Red Wing was also shot in the back of the head and was not shown again after that.

This mold for Nightracer is starting to grow on me. Too bad they couldn't remold the head. I like the round helmet she had in the comic as opposed to this pointy square one.
