Nailed it.

Well maybe all of the Valkyrie funding will help them develop better toys. But I'm not going to be the one to test them out...

These are the people that produced the hunk of crap called Valkyrie right? If that is the case, I will not be an early adopter. I will wait until there are reviews this time. If they want to continue in the third party Transformers business, they have to heal the wounds from Valkyrie.

Why bother with seekers? For the most part, Hasbro and TT has covered them pretty well. I want 3P figures we're not likely to get as official products.

Am I the only one who got a good Valkyrie and Medic ??? I love that mold so much I havent even bothered with delicate warrior. Sorry to hear you guys all got stuck with duds. On topic, I would welcome the tetra jets at any cost.

Looks a wee bit stumpy to me... Does look like a Tetra Jet homage though.

Good work on the lightning of the image. Hey El Duque, why dont you edit their teaser out and put this one at the top of the news thread instead ? Teach them a lesson that the fans dont play that teaser crap anymore... :lol:

I do like the idea of getting Tetrajets, but I already got the CHMS Seekers.

Plus, until these guys nail a transformable figure perfectly, I don't think I'm down for paying $90 for one. I MAY get them on sale, though. The legs do lok stumpy, but all TFs have to be cut some slack when it comes to proportions. Let's see how the vehicle mode looks like. Only the Titanium seeker mold was slek and that was a pretty terrible toy. These look better since they mimic both robot and vehicle modes.

The "stumpyness" would probably be fixed with a smaller head... preferably one that didn't look so dang cheery. Doesn't look too terrible, but certainly doesn't get me excited.

I too am a proud Valkyrie booster. Delicate Warrior just doesn't look like a Transformer to me, more like a figma with a dead facial expression and back kibble.

I was just thinking how the Classics Seekers are too small but I'm not interested in the tetrajets.

I have Valkyrie, but I just can't support it. DW is especially impressive when I compare it to Valkyrie in hand. I admit, the face takes a little getting used to, but it's head and tails better than Valkyrie.

These guys are going to have to prove themselves on a transformable figure if they want me to ever pay full price for it again. Valkyrie is, at best, a $30 TF.

War Within = Instant buy :grin:

It doesn't look like War Within to me. It looks more like the G1 toon, where the Rainmakers had the standard f-15 robot mode bodies and the sleek tetrajet alt. modes. Based on the photoshopped image it looks liek the robot mode has some allowances made for the tetrajet mode, but it still seems fairly G1 toon inspired.

Okay. If this is a new homage to the G1 anime 'tetrajets' these will appeal to the G1 cartoon deco collectors of 3rd party products. Great news for 3rd party lovers such as myself but within my own collection these would struggle to fit in...?

Thanks to Banjo-Trons adjusted picture we see this seeker with slightly bent legs which is making him look a little squatty but that head sculpt is defo too large. Also worth taking into account regarding his odd look (Im comparing robot mode against the Classics mold) is the waist piece is missing the 'belt buckle' piece of molded plastic? It gives him again a very odd look?? :???:

I look forward to seeing more pictures of this odd release.

New pictures, they are 3D models but it gives us an idea on what they will be. Not sure if I'm that impressed though.

2012?

Come on, Impossible Toys, be honest. It's more like 2016.

I'm actually liking the alt mode, but how are they going to stow all that kibble? They will look like giant triangles with robots stuck on them from the side.

This.l It's a seeker body with really oversized wings.

Kibble city!

I'm sort of attracted towards this, but I'll let some innocent soul try it out first and maybe I'll bite on it.

Can't wait to see some Colored images!!!!

by **necr0blivion** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 4:13 pm

This is an interesting choice, but I have mixed feelings about it. That, and I'm concerned about the quality of an IT product. I own Valkyrie and she can be pretty fragile. That, and I don't really have other "Cybertron" mode figures that these guys can hang out with.

Maybe a glowing review or two will change my mind, but we probably have until at least 2013 until anything gets shipped out.
