Neo Rainmakers ? Or maybe the big 3 as F-22's without the Bayformer robot modes ? Show me more...

I would love to see some pics myself.....

If it's new seekers I won't be too interested. I've spent too much time already building an iconic set of them. I don't need any more.

Curious which characters they are referring to. Most likely Decepticon?

I wouldn't be surprised if they were IDW style F22 Seekers. And if that's the case I'll pass. It'd take a newly engineered set of F15s at a slightly larger size than the old Starscream mold, and for them to be released in complete sets, for me to think about changing from the existing Hasbro ones. They'd have to be near Hasbro retail pricing too I think, considering how much I'm going to have to spend on a Ramjet anyway.

"Cybernetic Convict Air Force." Were any of the air teams convicts? Could this be in reference to G2 or Machine Wars?

the only convicts I can think of are the Combaticons. And there's only two of them who can fly.

Heck, maybe there's more reference to the film than we might imagine, and we're getting a new Stampy?

Heh. I'm suddenly picturing the F15 mold in black and white stripes...

I like the F22 idea, but I don't need another set of the seekers.

I know speculation is pointless at this point, although I am very, very curious.

Are they MP sized? Classics? I would love details...

i wouldn't worry too much, this is an initial reveal by iGear. you're looking at next decade before you'll be able to buy the damned things anyway.

In a years time, they'll release that logo 'teaser' again, only this time, it'll be in colour

I look forward to their rendition of Starscream in one scale, then Thundercracker and the rest in a larger, more expensive size.

That short of a timeframe?

You know, now that I ponder, I think the only iGear products I've bought have been their minibots.

Then a few months after that they'll show an awesome prototype of an all new super awesome original mold.
Then after 4 years they'll cancel that and simply KO an existing figure and call it a day.
Yea, I'm still pissed about their MP Prime trailer.

well that looks... disgusting.

Expect the final figure to look like a drastically sun-bleached version of the picture, when it eventually arrives in 2015

I like it myself. Not going to pre-order after the minibot fiasco, but if they don't screw up the colours then I'll be all in

plus his chest sculpt looks like this:

Currently loving this, only thing i'm not too keen on is the face, but that can be remade by a 4th party.

Repaints include the Rainmakers and Starscream's buds, Purple clone.

Can't see how they would get the second string seekers out of this. Though looking back at the logo, they do include their missiles and bombs in the design.

UGH, that head . To mirror others sentiment, have to wait and see how these turn out before investing. Otherwise, a nice update to the seeker mold. F-15s are still great planes, but the F-22 is the updated plane. Could be good figures for modding into other bots or cons

Looks like a great update! Now to wait for more details.

PS - don't offer 7 versions of them all in the same month! I heard it's bad for business.

*Edit*
Also wanted to add that I'm glad we see actual afterburners in the rear instead of a pair of hands/claws sticking out (Movie Series SS and Prime: Dreadwing/Skyquake). And is that the mid-waist swivel I see, like the ones from HoS seekers?

I like the overall look and shape of this, three things i don't like 1. huge shoulder vents 2.Animated looking smile/face 3.TFP rumble looking chest.

When I saw the alt-mode I was hoping it would be the idw -tion design, then I saw the bot-mode ...
Yea, this isn't looking too good.

I'm OK with everything except the face. I really like the look of this guy in bot mode. I'll likely buy it unless Hasbro releases a deluxe of their recent legends version (the one that comes with Waspinator, which is what I believe this is based on if not mistaken).

Of course, this is iGear, so they're likely to screw something up royally with the production figures, so I'll wait for reviews of him (and any others to follow) either way before making a purchase.
