Sweet! May have to add something like racing stripes or I dunno to make them resemble their G1 counterparts =)

Here's some larger pics:

Very very interesting. I'm not sure about the one colour (white or purple) being overwhelmingly predominant in both modes but the mold looks really interesting. The car mode looks real nice, the attempt to get a jet-type robot mode from a car seems to have been fairly succesful (there's gonna be a few complaints over those hip-wings, but really, what do you expect?) I'd love to see the headsculpts more clearly.

I feel bad for seeker completionists though, as they're going to have to either:
* Buy two high-price figures and deal with having an incomplete set.
* Buy two high-price figures and pay for/make a fanpaint of Thundercracker.
* Wait for Thundercracker to inevitably come out, then buy three high-price figures
* Miss out on these potentially cool-looking figures.

Needless to say, I'll be doing my best to pick up one or both of these figures on the day of release.

Alright, now Starscream really impresses me. It's amazing that a robot mode like that, compresses and folds down into a car like that, and still has display model functionality, with doors and hoods included.

The first Alternity figure mold that has me on the fence. I'm just not sure I can force myself to spend that kinda dough.

For me too, the first Alternity models that really are worth contemplating.
Convoy and Megatron were OK, but alt's just didn't fit their characters and the seams were vadly placed and ugly on the alt modes. Bumble and Cliff were just terrible.
I do like Skywarp the best of these two, but as a Thundercracker fan I'm wondering how long I'd have to wait before he gets released.

I think these look very strange. Cool, but strange. They're very different from even the other Alternities. They almost don't look like Transformers. And if it wasn't for the little null rays and the head sculpts, they wouldn't really look like Seekers at all.

These. Are. Amazing. I wasn't impressed by the first three molds in the line, but between SS and SW, the power core combiners and the latest ROTF scouts, the artistry and toy technological advancements in the past couple of years are simply unbelievable.

I'm genuinely excited for these figures. I liked the first two Alternity molds because they didn't look like the same old G1 characters that I was bored to tears with. But I already know that I hold pretty contrary views to most of the folks on these boards :-( . I also liked the Bumble mold less because I felt Takara were pandering to popular demand by ranking "G1-ness" above "awesomeness of robot mode". These molds seem to be a nice compromise between quality and G1-ness.

There's gonna be someone who complains about them being cars rather than jets though.

I agree that there's not enough black, but the panels behind his arms certainly seem to be wings, or at least giving the illusion of wings.

They're definitely different. I'll have to decide on whether I'm keeping my preorder once we get a clear look at their heads. The head design is not screaming (pun intended) Seekers to me. Very cool alt mode though.

Has there ever been a Starscream who wasn't a jet or a spacecraft (aside from HoS)? Oh well, I'm the kind of iconoclast who enjoys traditions being stamped down, so bring on the car seekers!

.. that isn't in Shattered Glass ;) Blurr, Rodimus and Goldbug were the Seekers in that storyline.

Skywarp is so mine, I already have so many of that guy compared to Screamer.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

I think they did a good job mostly with the robot modes, but the head sculpt looks bad (much like Megatron did). I'm just not getting that Starscream feel from the head. Skywarp is too purple. Would have liked to see more black show up in robot mode. Starscream could use more blue and red as well.

has Hasbro officially said whether these will ever find their way over here or not?

I agree screamer could use some more red, but Skywarp has more black than I thought would be possible from a purple car, so Me likes!
How come screamers head is painted like that? Still, easily fixed...

Nice... I think I'm actually leaning Starscream here, though. I like the shade of purple, but it might be too much. A black car with purple highlights (aka traditional Skywarp) would have been teh sexx.

Hmm, I think I'm still on the fence here. From these images they don't look as good as the concept images, but there's potential. I guess I can get past the fact that they're cars, it's just going to come down to head molds and colors. Also how they fit in to my collection, since I didn't plan on getting the whole Alternity line.
