[quote="Yeti"]Just to go back on topic for a moment, those are definately G2 missiles.

Back off topic, that is an awesome collection of customs :)[/quote]

Yes definately G2 missle pods, though the missles look shorter.

Interesting... Any chance that is legit and not a photoshop job?

I'm going to say that its a photo shop job. They haven't released a seeker in some time so I can't see eHobby just throwing one out there and I also can't see them using the inferior G2 weaponary on top of that for a high dollar figure. If it was Hasbro running out a new figure I'd like to think that they'd release a Sunstorm before they would do a tan seeker with really nothing that would gather fan interest.

One worry I do have is that if it is real would they use the same stuff that they used with the ehobby Hound.

And yet I couldn't get more then a break even on ebay for a very nice custom seeker with them, MISB and everything. They even spin, though not as easily as they were orginally intended.

[quote="Silverbolt"]I've had one close to that for years. Top row third one in. Of course if this is a actual release I'll get it for my seeker collection. I think I'm around 55 unique ones now.

Oh. Okay, another repaint. Alright.

So...is this box art legitimate? What's its history?

[quote="NightFall"]Oh. Okay, another repaint. Alright.[/quote]

not realy, reading the auction and looking at what else he is selling, the art is from an abandoned figure for the original line in the 80s.

That is a great set of customs...very creative!

And yup, the missile launchers are G2, which is what the unused art is for, I'm sure.

by **Roboto750** » Thu May 10, 2007 8:51 am

The missle launchers do look G2 in origin, but could it be possible that these launchers were considered for a G1 release and then dumped and used later used for G2? :-?

In the first thread for this artwork I opined that this looks like (from the wings) an unreleased G2 Dirge. If you look close at the little bit of wing that shows they look like Dirge wings.

I shall call him Sandstorm.

Anyone notice that he's also got some weird missles on the left and right sides of his head? That seems pretty darn odd to me!
