It's about time! At last, a Cybertronian Starscream who is not from the Galaxy Force family.
Sure, it's still a year ahead, but I have high hope that dude will not be cancelled. Hey, any seeker molds are money printers with all the possible repaints.

I'm looking forward to get you, my precioussssss..................

Hell yeah!

In regards to screamer.
That is one SICK deluxe. I had to keep reading over the description due to the detail (and being buzzed) to make sure. Seeing the trio of seekers in that mold will be awesome. I'm guessing the wing armaments are removable for hand held guns. Heres hoping theres some sort of better arangment that can eventually be worked out, that frees the wings up a bit in alt. mode.

Also revealed at Cybertron Con 2012 during the Hasbro/TT Brand Development Panel, two new Transformers Prime characters: deluxe class Sergeant Kup and Rumble. These two new figures are scheduled to be released as wave 5 of the RID toy line in October 2012. Kup appears to be a repaint of the upcoming Ironhide mold. Since I don't collect TF Prime figures, Rumble may already be a repaint of another figure. However, if not, we can only assume that the repaint of this mold will be Frenzy. I'm sure someone can clarify for me.

Obviously whats to be deluxe Ironhide. Shoot me, but I prefer my universe/classics version, and in addition, my generations Kup. I can tottaly see rumble/frenzy having that sort of alt. mode though. sorta annoying show-off hatchback racer, hehe.

Oh baby, that Seeker mould looks amazing! I didn't think it would, but it really would. I'm all for 5-7 repaints and 3 remoulds. There is space in vehicle mode for a cone head.

Really diggin' Kup & Rumble. I wonder if they'll be in the show?

Great Starscream, I love cybertronian models, but I am confused now... If this is part of Fall of Cybertron, why is it wave 1? I was thinking those figures we saw in Toy Fair would be part of Generations wave 1 to be released still in 2012: Jazz, Optimus, Shockwave and Bruticus... :???:

So, will all the Generation Deluxes be in smaller sizes? That sucks... They will display oddly with the old ones...

Yawwwwwnnnn. I need a new Seeker mold like I need a new Prime, Bumblebee, or Megatron. Give me a Tetrajet and we're talking. Otherwise, pass.

Frenzy looks AWESOME though. Love the face on chest motif.

Usually with every new year it resets the "Wave Clock" back to one.

Ha. I knew I got that wrong but was too lazy to scroll back up to be sure! Still. Yawn.

NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! There goes roughly $35 in 2013. :BOOM:

GetRight, looks like might hold that seeker repaint I talked to you about until this comes out!

Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:34 am

This may well be the best Seeker mold ever. Now to hope we don't have to wait like 5 years to get Thundercracker and Skywarp widely available.

It looks tons better than the current Classics mold, and I'd totally buy every new-character redeco of it tbh.

Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:43 am

FINALLY!!, A FIG FROM FOC I NEED!!
MAY THIS BE THE YEAR OF STARSCREAM!!!
first Air Screech and now this, plus sunstorm.
I. NEED. MORE. STARSCREAM.

One would assume they would make a repaint of Thunderscracker and Skywarp, but Hasbro/Takara has a way of letting us assume the obvious and then not follow through with it.

The Michael Bay Transformers movie brought us a Starscream in his movie colors and a Thundercracker. Then Target released an exclusive of movie Starscream in original Generation 1 colors, but we would not get a Skywarp until ROTF and then it was a Wal-Mart exclusive.

With the Transformers: Animated line, we got a Starscream, a Skywarp, and a Target exclusive Sunstorm, but Thundercracker never came to fruition.

With Hasbro's Classics/Generations, we got a Starscream, a Ramjet, an Acidstorm, a Target exclusive two-pack of Skywarp and Ultra Magnus, a second release of Starscream, and finally much later we got a Thundercracker (after so many of us had given up hope and bought the Takara version instead). And even then, we got a Thrust and a Dirge before we were able to complete the original three seekers of Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp.

Then recently, with the release of DOTM deluxe figures, we got a Starscream in movie colors and even Thundercracker in the same wave from Hasbro, but the Skywarp that was introduced would only be available through Takara only.

So Hasbro/Takara has a way of teasing us into cardiac arrest over these new possibilities of new Seekers, only to piss us off when we only get 2/3rds of the original Seekers. So don't count your FOC Seekers yet. I suspect one of them will be available as a retail chain exclusive or released only through Takara only.
