I admit it. I'm an addict. My addiction: collecting seekers. It started with knock-offs from KOTOYS.COM. I have all Hasbro's seekers and most of Henkei's seekers (with the exception of Skywarp and Ramjet) I bought both versions of Sunstorm (yellow and orange) and a purple seeker. I've customized seekers including a custom G2 Starscream and some of my own creations not to mention a knockoff Henkei TC and 2 KO Henkei Skywarps (one high quality, one not so much). I've been eagerly awaiting for TFCC's G2 Ramjet. But I didn't realize I had a problem until I spent $90 last night on a BotCon Dirge. Why did I get this? Well because I like him for the reasons that he's the cheapest of the 2007 BotCon seekers. He's basically a repaint of Ramjet and thus could be a character of his own. Or maybe I just can't wait for the G2 Ramjet. Anyway that's just too much to spend on a seeker! I need rehab!

I don't. I tried one. Acid Storm. I like the transformation, it's a creative solution. Robot mode is so clunky and those huge guns and short arms turn me off.

No, what you need is BotCon Thundercracker and Thrust.

Me neither, I just need Starscream (both Henkei and Classics) and Thundercracker then I'm calling quits, I have the US versions of the rest. I want them so bad! :sad:

Once I get ahold of a Skywarp to go with my other 5 Hasbro seekers, I will b e done with them.

What you need now is a couple more seekers, some paintbrushes, some good paints (I recommend the Games Workshop range-especially the foundations), a sunny window, some groovy tunes and a couple of cool sounding names.

I do like the Seeker mold, but not enough to buy up all the different KOs and variations. Right now I got:

Universe Starscream + Coronation set.
Classics Skywarp
Classics Ramjet
Generations Thrust
KO Orange Sunstorm
Universe Acid Storm.
KO Yellow Sunnystorm
Cheap KO Thundercracker (see what I did there?)
KO Secret Seeker
KO Gold Seeker (cheap kind, boo!)
KO Pink Seeker.

U Dirge, Thundercracker, and G2 Ramjet are all on my list with Dirge already on hold at BBTS (I got impatient). The Seeker mold is fun, but I'm just about ready to call it quits. Still, if KO Toys actually makes the white DIY kits, I'll get 2 for a pair of Leader-1s (the head came with the Coronation set and I got 2 sets).

T'ch. I have U!Starscream, two U!Screamers repainted as Skywarp and Thundercraker, H!Ramjet, G!Dirge and Thrust, another U!Screamer repainted as Sunstorm, Acid Storm, a C!Screamer and a U!Screamer repainted to go with Acid Storm, and three KO seekers to repaint into the Rainmakers.

My goal is to eventually have every Seeker on the wiki entry represented.

Cool website! Thanks for mentioning it.

Thanks for the offer, but I still prefer either Classics or Henkei, as I've read the Universe one has a lot of joint problems (mold degradation).

in a moment of weakness i almost pulled the trigger on KO rainmakers, 3pack purple and 3 pack chromed. then i saw the cart total over 300...and reality hit me. rainmakers may still happen once they are IN STOCK... otherwise I have a custome sunstorm, along with acid storm, well ok maybe I get ONE purple drone to make another triumvirate(sp?). Then my last seeker will be G2 ramjet, hopefully I can grab one via ebay, didnt feel inspired to renew with TFCC ,sideburn (rodimus mold) is weak IMO, plus I very well may get the Takara 3 pack, which is similar, battle damage kup, junkion new head ftw! Decepticon set..hmmm if I can snag cyclonus off someone that would be enough..time will tell..ok now off to drink happy 3/17
