As for Nightbird... is it just me, or is this mold starting to become this generation's version of the Classics '06 Seeker mold?
I would have thought the new Seeker mold was becoming this generations' version of the Classics '06 Seeker mold.
Indeed! I've got six of the Siege Seekers on my display shelves right now, and am eagerly awaiting the seventh, Thundercracker. I'll gladly take a few more at this point to round out the obscure "background" characters from Season 1 of the original cartoon, like Sunstorm (orange), Hotlink (purple), Bitstream (teal), and Nacelle (navy blue). I figure Sunstorm could be a Selects release and Hotlink, Bitstream, and Nacelle could be a "Welcoming Committee" 3-pack exclusive like the "Rainmakers" at Target currently. That would effectively replace all of my '06 Seekers in my collection, except for the Coneheads, G2 Starscream, and Action Master Thundercracker.
I've decided the OG seekers are the limit for me, unless they somehow produce some coneheads.
Honestly, if I were designing Transformers, I wouldn't even make a Decepti-Jet without knowing how I was going to approach Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet. You just know the fans will want them if you make ANY of the other three.
For earth jets, sure, but these are cybertronian and as far as I know the coneheads only ever appeared on earth.
All true. But there's nothing either way to discount them being the same mode on Cybertron, being they've all got modified wings on the same body otherwise.
