What about the Generations Legends class Seeker mold?
I never experienced that mold. I was looking at deluxe or above since that is what was being discussed. But glad to know those have it worked out too.
It's a better Seeker mold that the Classics Deluxe one, though.
Ok, so I tried it out and....no, I really do not find it better than the deluxe seeker mold, nor am I fond if it aside from the smart way to hide the nosecone and the efficient way the wings are flipped in robot mode (sure beats the leader seeker design in that respect).
What I dislike about this mold are 2 things:
1. The very limited articulation: sure, its a legends class toy, but BW Terrorsaur was a similar class and far more articulated. If I am to judge this against the deluxe seeker (or any seeker), of course I will look at articulation and it fails in that department. mostly for the fact that he can only pose looking straight ahead and standing straight. There isnt that cool hip or knee pivot I like so you cant have one foot straight forward while the other is perpendicular, giving a nice strong action stance. And his face (which I find too small) cant articulate either. With no exageration, I find the beast wars basics far better than this mold (with the exception of Optimus Minor, but thats for different reasons).
2. this is probably the worst undercarriage I have ever seen on a jet transformer. Its not even stored away tightly, its just his arms, his legs and his face. I bought autobot gears and eclipse at the same time and there wasnt much difference between The legends seeker undercarriage and eclipse. The deluxe deffinitely wins in that regard, and thus also wins in transformation (since it hides away the robot parts better).
