If you fit into the key demographic of Seeker fans with money to burn you've probably already heard about i-Gear's Masterpiece conehead Fighter Team set which includes Elegy (Dirge), Attack (Thrust) and the new Ramjet who is now named Jet. Thanks to i-Gear's website we have some new images of Jet:

The page for the coneheads with more images and information can be seen here.

That looks so damned good.

Well done. I think I will order them !!! This is what happens when Hasbro/Takara ignores the fans to pursue their own agendas.

Yes. Bloody HasTak haven't released any seekers in ages. If only Generations included the two unreleased coneheads...

by **SJ21** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 8:34 am

Wow. Those guys look great. I am guessing that they are going to be going for about $200 per? I don't know if I willing to spend that money on them or not though, since I have 2 MP seekers already. It is tempting though...

From previous information on earlier molds of this, they are smaller, around the size of a Voyager class TF.

And, did y'all forget about the MP Ghost Starscream that just came out a month or two ago? This mold is still kicking for anyone who really wants them.

Amazing, I hope they arnt silly expensive as I think they look great and despite my initial hesitation about these semi knock offs I would quite like them.

My only wish is that the clear stands that hold the jets would allow the jet to be angled so that you could see more of the top when on display.

As far as I know, Generations will have Dirge, they have already released Thrust, and Ramjet was released under the classics line.

Whats the price going to be on these is my question.

$1000?

by **ButtZilla** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 4:26 pm

Sooooo wicked sick looking!!

And same size as MP Prime too. The Correct size and height! MP Grimlock was a disappointment. Too small.

by **MGrotusque** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:18 pm

Best seeker mold yet in my opinion.
Love this!!

by **Prowl1529** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 8:17 am

Does anyone knows the realesed date?

News Credits: 125 · by **Counterpunch** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 8:31 am

Knock off...

Who's there?

Stolen toy design...

Stolen toy design who?

Aren't you excited to pay mad cash for an inferior quality product of an already fragile figure?

This thing does look amazing, though. Hope Takara puts them out someday...

You should really buy a figure made by them before judging quality cause the quality on Faith leader was very good (which imo was more of a knock-off than these). Also, these aren't complete knock-offs cause the mold is not identical to the original; they clearly made many alterations to it, although they are cutting it close...

Likewise...I'm pretty sure you haven't gotten one of the KO seekers to this point. But the quality on Faith Leader (which I agree is a blatant KO) was spotty on its own and that was based on a very solidly built figure...the most durable MP figure in fact. The MP seekers, on the other hand, are pretty fragile figures from the start. Good luck having these guys match the quality of the real ones.

hell, I think HAS TAK should LET 3rd party companies make the products. All it really does is raise interest in the toy line itself. I love most 3rd party add-ons and figures. Hell, I have a friend whom has spent THOUSANDS with HAS TAK since he picked up a FP City Commander kit. Got him back into collecting.
Cant wait to see the other coneheads. This Ramjet mold looks good.

Nobody has because they haven't been released yet... Therefore your point is not valid...

I'm going by their previous products. Faith leader is very good in quality, far from "spotty." I own all of the real MP seekers (Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker) and I have been waiting for an official release of the coneheads which has yet to happen. If this company is giving me what I want and what hastak has yet deliver then I welcome it. It is after all why everyone clamors for products by Fansprojects. While they did copy the mold, they at least made enough alterations to the original to differentiate it from the official products. These are basically unofficial repaints/re-sculpts; at least that's how I see it.
