I've recently gotten into collecting seekers but I have a dilemma. How many and what are their names? I know

Starscream
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Ramjet
Thrust
Dirge
Acid storm?
Sunstorm?

Who is missing if any?

Depends on if your definition is for characters using the G1 basis, in which you pretty much have the named ones, or across the various generations/continuities.

Many would consider Slipstream to count from her Animated and WFC appearances.

I checked the Wiki and for some reason I felt like there was more. Aggh maybe im just thinking too much of it. Ever since the generations line came out I thought a nice little shelf of seeker deluxe figures would look awesome. I have almost all of those, missing sunstorm,and Im close to picking up the Kotoys version.. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't going to be a herd I didn't know about . Thanks for the info guys..

although i could have sworn there was 3 rainmakers? ..

Ask and ye shall receive.

Don't forget that Sunstorm isn't part of that Subgroup, the yellow one has yet to be officially named.

Hope that helps.

So what else could they call the yellow Rainmaker, Lemon Storm? Face it, whether or not Hasbro says he's not Sunstorm the fans will continue to believe he is since his name fits alongside Acid Storm as if he were part of the rainmakers.
What we really want to know is who the violet colored Rainmaker is. I've heard fan speculation ranging from Snow Storm to Hail Storm to Hydro Storm. Hell why not carry on the fruit motif and call him Berry Storm, and Acid Storm should be Lime Storm!

Why not carry on the blue 'seeker' motif and call him Thunderstorm? At least Acid Storm got a namecheck of sorts.

There were three, they were never named, but Acid Storm was retroactively give one. Sunstorm is based on the yellow generic in the first episode of the original cartoon, not on the yellow Rainmaker.

If you're thinking there were more Seekers, the Decepticons had plenty of jet-based subgroups, but only the first 6 are real Seekers. Other groups include the Skyscorchers, Predators and Sky Raiders (aka G2 Seekers). The last group was retconned into a prototype body-type developed by Skyquake.
