I'm OK with that!

Seeker repaints are OK in my book.

And the sad part is, if they did them all as voyagers, I'd buy 'em all again. I'm such a sucker.

QFT!!

That's one mold that they can repaint till their hearts desire and I'll still buy them in Lilac, Teal, and Mauve!! I'm a sucker for seekers and will always be one.

Yea they are nice, especially that mold, I would love a few of these.

I am a little PO'd I just bought henkei screamer just before this was announced.

But, whatever, I know I'll buy it.

I love repaints, I love new and unusual characters, I love Seekers, but I must agree with Sledge. The Rainmakers? Seriously. Are we really that excited about some background characters or animation errors that we must clamor for their figures? I know, I'd buy them for the reasons I stated above, but is there no character so minor that we can sit back and agree doesn't require a plastic version? It's like Star Wars figures for guys no one even noticed were in the movie (not EU stuff, like each of the Senators from the prequels, etc.).
If we're really going to get the Rainmakers, how long until someone starts to cry that we haven't gotten a Soundwave that transforms into that lightpost or whateverthehell he was in the first episode of the G1 cartoon for all of .8 seconds?
(That's my idea....don't none of you vultures go stealing it.)

HE'S EVEN GOT UPSIDE DOWN INSIGNIA IN ROBOT MODE!!!

Dagon: G1 Soundwave can do a street light mode.

I do like the egg shell white thing he's got going on.

Does this mean we'll see Universe Optimus, Megatron...?

I guess what I meant was a Universe version of the voyager Prime and Megatron since this Starsream is just the classics mold.

Hey, this jet mode looks pretty clean. When is this gonna be released?

I really don't understand transfans. Takara do G1 accurate paintjobs and people masturbate themselves unconscious with excitement. Hasbro do it, and people complain about a lack of detail.

Well, you kind of explained the reason I prefer Takara over Hasbro in your post, detail. Hasbro’s paint applications are worse as is their general quality. Takara on the other hand makes it G1, and with detail. Universe G1 Starscream has a serious lack of detail, which is the reason I don’t like it.

Of course, in all fairness, you pay less, but I suppose you get less. I do like the eggshell white though.

Not over here, were I live importing Takara will be the same as buying hasbro of the shelf, sometimes even cheaper.
