Via TFWiki, here is the list of every named Seeker to date. Nineteen, in total. As for the question. One, would you like them all to be represented by a figure? Given some sets have already been represented separately in SIEGE and Earthrise. Part two of the question, would you buy this many mold variants?
Do I want them all to be made? Absolutely, I can't think of a single character in the franchise off the top of my head that I actively think doesn't deserve to get a figure/update if they have yet to already. Would I personally buy them all? Absolutely not, but that's just down to my personal preference. I have zero interest in "completing" the Seekers, just getting the ones that appeal to me. Currently I have 5/8 of the released Siege Seekers and 2/7 of the released ER Seekers, but if they make Bitstream, Nacelle, Slipstream, and Sunstorm, I'm all in on them (although hopefully Bitstream and Sunstorm at least are from the awesome Siege mold instead of the boring ER mold, I agree Nacelle is probably gonna have to be from the ER mold to be accurate to his proper form).
That list is also technically missing some of the Seeker decos people are hoping for, as it's missing same-character repaints like Shattered Glass and G2 decos (some of which are rumored/leaked to be coming), but my personal policy of picking and choosing would still apply to those options as well.

I personally am not into buying multiples of the same exact figure to have multiple Reflectors or whoever, all of the figures I have are separate individuals. Shared bodytypes/repaint characters are cool though when done well, so I have zero issues with Seekers because they're all different characters (or if they're same-character repaints, they're at least easy to repurpose into being separate characters).
