They look pretty good! Thundercracker seems the most unnecessary out of the 3. Glad that people will finally be able to get Skywarp who missed out!

I am looking forward to these.

Minor gripes though after seeing these pics:

1st...I was hoping Starscream and Thundercracker's inside forearm area would be the same color as the front of the forearm. It kind of sticks out on Starscream pretty bad. I almost want to take a paint brush to these as soon as I get them, though I would prefer not to alter these.

2nd... the dark purple metallic on Skywarps is cool, but I think they could have matched a lighter metallic purple to his hands better. For some reason it looks pretty cool on the legs though. Hopefully he looks better in hand....

3rd... I prefer lighter metallic-colored wheels on the chest on the henkei versions vs. the all black wheels...

Pretty minor gripes though...these can't come soon enough!

these guys, along with the upcoming conehead set will make a damn fine collection of seekers. shame I have 5/6 already, although the Skywarp here is far superior to the old 2-pack one. Starscream is a bit nicer than the first Classics one as well. Cracker is definitely the least required of the 3 for me, although there is something off about the orange-y red on Screamer's chest. Probably looks fine in isolation, but in comparison to the umpteen other releases of the character using this mold it stands out to me a bit. Bit of a shame about Warp's hands being so noticeably different from his forearms as well. Guess he's wearing latex gloves or something.

Quite tempted, yes, but probably pass. Should be able to find a Ramjet cheaper than the price of the 3pack, and will make do with uber-purple Skywarp for now. The metallic paint on them means if I bought one set I'd really want the others, and right now, too many other things vying for my attention, and money. Good luck to all who've ordered them, lets see some reviews and hope the molds are still cranking out solid toys.

The wheels are painted a dark metallic gray, they're not all black.

I'm glad I already have the seeker set. I got lucky and caught the Magnus and Skyywarp set right when they were being put on the shelves, They didn't last long, either.

I still gotta cry- "why no Sunstorm from this mold?!" this does erk me as many times the seekers have been redone, why no Sunstorm..... :evil:

Nice looking set but no way I could justify getting all of them. Fortunately Ive been able to hunt them all down individually.
