eBay- Two new auctions for the new movie Starscream, and movie Thundercracker repaints have shown up on eBay.

Ramjet is a repaint of the movie Starscream mold, and Skywarp is a repaint of the movie Thundercracker mold (in itself, Thundercracker is a repaint of Starscream, but he has a remolded head, and was also used for the Target exclusive G1-deco movie Starscream).

You can view the auction for Ramjet here, and for Skywarp here, and see the robot mode images below.

Now we need to know if they are being sold as store exclusives, where, and when. Many thanks to eBay seller, psikyo1974cw.

Part of the cone ends up behind Ramjet's head.


It sort of works. Toys is toys.

meh i don't care for the mold so I'll pass

how many g1 seekers where there? at 20 quid a pop i may be in trouble, and i guess the cone of jet behind his head isnt all that bad.

but what happened to the "relastic" colours of jets, e.g. ltd starscream and masterpiece starscream in the army coulered jets instead rainbows and im over here colours.

Nope this year I will skip the movie figures and go for other stuff enstead.

Skywarp=badass!!!!

Ramjet just might be the only Seeker that looks cool with that mold.

I hope to god these are at available through mass retail.

And the first passengers on the train to Skip-ville for 2009 are ....

After seeing this i want both.

I just knew Skywarp was gonna have the same head mold as Thundercracker. Not a bad way to differentiate the seekers.

Skywarp looks badass.
Ramjet, well at least the head looks awesome in those colors.

I don't like the mold, but I like the Skywarp paint job.

I'll wait for these to be on clearance for like $9.99.

Anybody else hate that Starscream and the seekers have the body of a monkey and the head of a crab? I'm surprised at the lack of variety in these seekers.

I've got the original Voyager Starscream... I keep him in robot mode since I can't stand how the "F-22" looks.
Robot mode looks great, but ick. So much kibble.

That's enough for me, repaints just aren't enough for the buy.

well, over the course of the last two years they've managed to make four out of six of the seekers with one mold, not counting the "G1" Movie Screamer repaint, or Deep Space Screamer, and I'm almost positive there was one more... anyone?

If I was them I'd just get it over with and make Dirge and Thrust, using the regular Screamer mold like Rammy, there. Then with Screamer (G1 repaint) Thundercracker and Skywarp, you could have an entire complete army of ugly seekers... or at least a seeker Brute Squad, bulky lookin' things that they are.

Where's the kibble? The only thing I could count as kibble is the nosecone on the back and you can hardly see that.

I think he meant the protruding wings on the front and back. Personally, I think they add to the form instead of subtracting from it.

Me too I can think of figures with a lot more kibble, like Movie Leader Prime.

Me too. Seekers should be sexy, this is the way of things.

Ramjet doesn't even look like he did in the Reign of Starscream comic, which was a passingly ok character design compared to the rest.

I dont like these molds and wish they can come up with something new!!!

I'll be getting Skywarp since he's my favorite seeker, but I haven't decided on Ramjet, yet. I think they should've given him a unique head mold that resembled a conehead-style design like in the Reign of Starscream comic.

I want Ramjet so bad.

However, there's already been a Movie Ramjet toy - a repaint of the Starscream from the Fast Action Battler line. As such, the toys have already established that Ramjet has the same head design as Starscream.

Oh, and don't forget Vardia Starscrem. He's the daddy of them all, what with his outrageous colour scheme and the almost-retro HD-DVD tampos all over the cockpit and fuselage.
