Well I’m sure some of you already knew, but since I don’t recall us having a thread for this guy I figured I’d start one. First its clear to me after a little browsing the resemblance between these two.

And really I think its great we’re getting not only a classics seeker repaint, but a homage to this character! Who else is looking forward to this guy?

I may be the only one, but I look at him more as a Machine Wars Thundercracker.

I am. Those flip jets from Robot MAsters/MAchine Wars/RID are some of my favorite smaller TFs. I like them much better than the Cyberjets from G2, even though there's only two molds.

Don't forget that they've already said he was a homage to the green Rainmaker from the Divide and Conquer episode, though. Of course that doesn't mean his color scheme doesn't come from somewhere else.

Man, I can't wait for this guy to come on out. The more seekers the better. I'm still hoping for a Sunstorm sometime down the line. Maybe in a 2-3 pack with some generics.

I loves me some seekers! I will be getting this one and am hoping for a Sunstorm from this mold too.

"See? SEE? We DID give you a Classics Thundercracker, just not how you were expecting it..." :grin:

I am, if only for the army building potential.

One more transformer to add to my growing list of must have 25th anniversary G.I. Joe's and transformers animated and universe figures.

Or maybe more cow bell.

Seriously, though, I'm just happy for another seeker mold! Sunstorm has to be down the pike, which makes me doubly happy, but I would honestly take a brown seeker named Poopy Flush just to have more of the mold...

I could quite go for a totally unpainted, characterless seeker that the buyer could paint themselves.

I'm happy with the more Seekers idea. Sure, I'd love Henkei Botcon Seekers, but I think it's cooler to get new Seeker characters instead. I love the Seekers, but don't always need the same six of them.

Agreed. 100%.
