Not sure - if I can get an ordinary one on eBay before the jap one is released then no, but if the jap one is released before I get my grubby mits on an ordinary one then I'll consider it.

I wish I had the other seekers, purely to finish the collection. However, the only time my mum has said I would be wasting my money on TFs was when I said I might pay £350 for the set.

Hey Tek - I'll give you £30 for yours :P

The Botcon Seekers do look great, but, I still plan on doing a repaint or two, one I find any normal seekers left anywhere.

I know the feeling Tan. I struggle to reach the word limits because I don't have the ability to waffle on about stuff. I've got one for a week tomorrow. The topic of this essay - "Science itself will not protect us." Discuss in no more than 2000 words. Thank god the limit is more of a guideline than a necessary number of words.

Hmm - looks like I'll have to find some other fool to trick if I want my seekers.

Essays are a waste of time, the teachers don't even read them. *sigh* I can spam a million words in one day, but when it come to something useful I can never bring myself to do it.

Least your essay sounds like it could be fun. I would refer to movies alot... which is what I'm about to do in my own essay! YAY! :mrgreen:

Man that sucks, I'v never read that, but I mean to someday. Good luck getting it done in time.

I'm doing an art course, which they keep asking me for essays in, I'v done over 8000 words for them now. I only wanted to draw pretty pictures! :cry:

And seekers do not suck!

The Coneheads terrified me when I was little. The way they tore up the city and Thrust manhandling Chip in Megatron's Master Plan. That's why I like them oddly enough.

And I know it is rather shallow but the main reason I like Skywarp is his colour scheme. But they are the most awesome looking Robot jets.

The G1 Seekers really suck for show accuracy, that's why the Botcon set is a godsend for me. But yeah, they are the reason I am a Decepticon, and it's purely because I like how they look, as shallow as that reason is.

The coneheads were well scary in that episode, and that's why I loves em. :mrgreen:

I still dont know if Starscream would have worked in Skywarps colours. I just dont know.

Hmm, I don't know about that. I can't picture Starscream being anything but white or silver. It exemplifies his arrogance and pride.

The only thing he's missing is a yellow streak.

If G1 Skywarp were more like Armada Skywarp in personality he would be my favourite for all the right reasons.

Evil, teleporting, ninja jet. :twisted:

well not having seen hardly any of armarda i cant comment. I suppose your right about starscream, i do love his colours a lot. and he is so damn funny, im not sure there's an episode in series 1 where he doesnt claim to be the new decepticon leader for about a second lol.

This thread keeps moving to fast every time I think of a reply to a post after reading someone elses. I read to the end of the thread and forgot what I wanted to say.

Other than that I'm looking forward to the new Universe 2 line all the new molds look good other than I would prefer Powerglides colours to be reversed. As for Galvatron his size being a bit small means he is perfect for wailing on Cyb Unicron.

yeah, it should be fairly easy to do a starscream up as thundercracker and a ramjet as dirge!

Hey people, heres an update. Thunder and i have been coming up with some ideas about the whole t shirt for botcon thing. We want to know how many of you are going, and how many would be willing to participate in getting a few t shirts made up with your own avatar and a ODB logo on the back.


Also, for a bit of fun, we think it would be cool if everyone tries and comes up with a logo for the shirt and then post it on here. It doesnt have to be perfect, im sure we can get it smartened up later.


here's one i did

For now I'll say I might be going, but I would rather lean on the "no" side of the fence since that weekend is my mum's birthday. If that changes I'll let you know though.
