My coneheads still haven't shipped, but I don't have Prime, I'm always 2 weeks behind with these pre-orders.

Earthrise Megs is boring. Kinda sad that the G2 snow camo Megs is the only Megs from siege/Earthrise that I'll end up with.

Excited for Sunstreaker, he is going to finish multiple group shot pictures I have been waiting to do

Probably not canonical since ol' Scorpy and Megs are usually backstabbing each other but it makes for a cool pic.


Damn it


This single picture has convinced me to get the Earthrise Seekers if only for vehicle mode purposes, those jets look so good.

I almost skipped them. Then I got the Target two-pack because it was exclusive and fell in love, so I had to get the Amazon two-pack as well. Really looking forward to news about Thrust.

Would love to see a group shot of the 6 Earthrise Jets, and the 5 Tetra ones ( Rainmakers, Hotlink and Redwing) Starscream's 11 ;)

We absolutely need an Orange Sunstorm at the very least as well, I'm surprised he wasn't chosen instead of Hotlink as he's the more well known character.

Of course Ideally we could get every Seeker as a toy (including the obscure ones like G2 Sandstorm and Blackout, hopefully we can get them in selects)

Having a full armada like that would be amazing.

Planning on it as soon as Thrust is available.

I get the feeling that Sunstorm hasn't been done yet because he's e-HOBBY's character.

The hesitance of anyone other than e-HOBBY doing a CHUG release of Sunstorm is what led to both the less-than-accurate deco on BotCon 2013 Sunstorm and the accidental creation of Red Wing.

Funnily enough, we did get an official parody of Ocean's Eleven in Transformers fiction four years ago. ;)

I don't think that's how it works? Hasbro owns the rights to the character and the design. There have been many pieces of Sunstorm merchandise since then without any involvement with e-Hobby.

That didnt stop Hasbro from making his MP toy. He even had a titanium toy.

When it comes to toys, I feel he's the niche seeker who got the most love.

He'd get some love from me if they released a new one. :D

There were arguably 4 members of the welcoming committee, ( other more obscure characters aside). We got Hotlink for Netflix. Another 3 pack of Sunstorm, Nacelle, and Bitstream I think would complete most people's seeker want list.

I dunno, Acid Storm's also pretty up there in that category. Those two are probably the only competitors here.

We'd still need a Slipstream.

Yeah the multiple Sunstorm toys over the years is why I never thought that E-hobby had some sort of hold on the character.

We are rumored to be getting Deep-Cover in the Netflix line despite him also being from the same place.

But we also have some seekers past the original series, like Blackout and Sandstorm too. I want them, I envision a full 18 squad strong Seeker collection, with maybe a ghost Scream and teleporting Skywarp as fun extras.

Plus, I think Slipstream has become the more well known seeker outside the original 3 since Animated introduced her. I know I really want a voyager toy of her too. Her Cyberverse toy sort of fits in, but I would like a generations styled one.

I'd want a heavy retool of the Siege and ER mold of her. A special Select 2 pack that would be a Easter Islands exclusive.

I wasn't questioning the popularity of Slipstream. I get it. But I'm also a purist as well. Anyone can envision whatever collection they want, and I hope everyone gets what they want eventually. But for me, the original series is any Transformer character that appeared in the animated series, or in toy form from 1984-1991. Later add on's into "alternate g1" continuities such as Drift, Windblade, Barricade, Slipstream etc... that may have started out in other continuities, but were integrated into "alternate g1" are not essential to me personally.

What about those like Straxus who were there in the 80s but never had a toy or got to be in the cartoon but eventually got both a toy and appearances in cartoon-set fiction?

Meh....I was never really a fan of the comics, despite owning them all until earlier this year. I'd have to really give it some thought, but there really weren't any comic-specific characters that I liked so much I'd want to see toys of them remade, but again I know I'm in the minority.

looks like there is a teaser for the next titan in the artbox of Fasttrack.
While I'm searching for the source of the boxart, I tried to fix the pic a bit and do an overlay do define better some of the features.
I sincerely don't have any idea about who this titan could be.
I see where people say that it could be a transformable Ark, but the asymmetrical shoulder pads seems weird for that.
