No sign of Ramjet, only Dirge... (the link aitn correct or somit).

And yes, these ARE knockoffs. The Prime ones this guy does are identical except for the colours (he only does version Takara didnt). His seekers are slightly different in design to the Takara ones, but from the images Ive seen are just as good qulity (I know his Primes are perfect quality) and possible slightly nicer than the Takara ones.

Hmm, cool. He should do Tracks and Skids, I'd buy those for sure.

Looks really good. The colour scheme is pretty awesome.

I bought them both from Mirageboxes, and already have them in my hands.

They are perhaps the coolest WSTs to date, besides the dinobots, and the Tigertracks in my sig. Funny thing is they are all KO's!

Well here's two related topics from awhile back incase anyone is interested in the origin of these things (or feedback about this guy's products.)

As I reported in both of those threads, these prototypes are made by the same seller who started the replicas of Wstfs optimus prime trailer, and multiple variants including pepsi versions, clear blue versions, direct replicas of the wave 1 and 2.5 trailer, as well as the remolded g2 trailer. He is also the one behind the various starscream, skywarp and thundercracker variants including ghost versions and the ehobby styled starscreams. I've bought almost every variant he's made (except for these, but I will buy these when they go back up) and they are all of incredible quality. If you are as big of a wstf fanatic as I am, do not be shy, buy this guy's products, they are on the same level of quality as takara's wstfs. and in the case of the trailers, better paint and stickers. This guy will ship very fast, and I have been doing business with him for over 3 years now... (more details on information about his products and whatnot are in both of the links I provided, if you have any further questions about my experiences with the seller, his products, etc, post them here.)

Yes, he did do a variation of the design to the seeker mould and amajority of it is with the guns (more anime accurate), the nose cone (its a solid and seperate piece from the rest of the body and looks overall better than using paint for a nose cone), and the rear tailfins, which fold like the larger original seekers did.


I just love worlds smallest transformers, and I love this seller's dedication to finish the seekers for us. I look forward to getting my hands on these two.

Cheers everyone, and good hunting! :grin:

I like that they got Dirges wings right, but the RamJet link didn't work?

It's highly unlikly. The most he's ever done is a bit of redesigning of an existing design. Tracks n Skids would be a whole new design.

I agree, I love WSTFs, and this guy does do a great job. Most of them I am getting from second-hand source Mirageboxes, but he must be getting them from this guy.

BTW, they are fantastic. Like I said these two are two of my favorite WSTFs!!!

These guys are awesome. I have this guy's Thundercracker and Pepsi/G2 Convoy trailers, and from plastic quality to custom sculpting they are unsurpassed. I've been looking forward to Dirge and Ramjet for over a year now. The question remains, though... who's next? What other characters can be made from existing WSTF moulds? Soundblaster and Stepper perhaps have limited appeal, but I suppose you could get a decent Smokescreen out of Prowl/Bluestreak.

awesome. i thought about doing this to two of my extra thrusts but i never had the time.

i have the prime trailer variants from this seller and love them. i need to get more of his stuff.

maybe he can make a WST smokescreen since the basic mold exists?
