I really wanted to do a shot with the G1 and/or Generations versions of Old Snake with Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime, Springer and Arcee (Generations version would have to do double duty), but decided it would be best to save that for when we get the full set of upcoming toys from "Only Human".

Have tempted to throw a few Decepticon insignias on an old GI Joe Snowcat.
Wouldn't mind seeing a few more Joe repaints as Transformers like maybe an AWE Striker ad Sandstorm, Dune Runner or Beachcomber.
The other Seekers and Air Raid.
The Mauler could be used for Blitzwing or Quake
The Mocassin as G2 Leadfoot
Mercer could pass for Pretender Starscream out of armour.
Dye the hair blonde and you've got Landmine out of armour
Blaster could pass for Jazz in his shell

Interesting ideas! Makes me think it'd be great to do the Masterforce Pretender humans ... Diver, Phoenix, Waver and Hawk. It's too bad there isn't a kid-sized GI Joe figure because then you could do all of the kids as well like Daniel, Rad, Alexis, Carlos, Minvera, Cancer, Go Shuta, and Cab as well as any others worthy of getting a Joe sized toy made into a Transformers character.

Regarding Scoop/Hound-- That new head, is that newly sculpted for the club? or is this a case where they took an unused existing alternate head? Does anybody know for sure on that? I may have missed it, if it was said somewhere else.

Yeah it is, Scoop and Roadblock share the same head, despite what I thought.
So, Sgt. Hound is a brand new headsculpt.

I might possibly do the massive group shot I'm sure everyone would enjoy seeing with all 31 Seekers in G2 Starscream's gallery. We'll see if I can get to the 6 Asian Seekers in the next few weeks. Working on finishing up Hotlink, Bitstream, and Sunstorm's galleries tomorrow morning.

The classic's starscream mold was fine for it's time. The engineering is dated. The molds had to been tweaked to prevent it from being degraded from overuse. The only reason it's still "good" is because it's the only decent scaled F-15 g1 style seeker. It's endearing by default. For Christ sake he has energon hips.

We just recorded the next podcast and this is pretty much what I said about it. Let's let it go out with G2 Starscream to it's honorable resting place in Valhalla or whatever since they seem to insist on not making a new production mold from the master (or they used the master as the production one in which case it's totally boned.)SW's SilverHammer wrote:Rated X wrote:This mold is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time)

I only have the classics skywarp, and while I like it quite a bit, I would prefer a more modernized/slightly stylized version of it.

I want one last version of this mold so we round out on an even number and I get the one that I've wanted the most ... how about Takara Transformers Legends Sunstorm done right with white forearms and whatever other goodies Takara wants to do to make it slavish to the G1 toy or to the Masterpiece figure. I've waited almost 10 years for a proper Sunstorm and we still don't have one yet! I'm contemplating buying an extra Nacelle and an extra BotCon Sunstorm so that I can swap the limbs at least, but then the missiles won't be the right color and nor will the launchers.

I think when the last classics seeker comes out, people should take a crappy ko version (or the most valuable version if you want to be a dick) spray paint it silver and give a viking funeral.

I could do without Red Wing altogether, but G2 Sandstorm would be interesting. What I'd really like to see is Fun Pub or e-Hobby or someone do G1/G2 versions of Nacelle and G2 Sandstorm to legitimize them more. It's OK to get modern updates of old concepts, but I'd still like to get my hands on the original version that was never released. An homage of something that was never released is a bit of a stretch to me.

My guess is that since since his bio states he's a super hacker the numbers are what is skills are in cyberspace while the bar represent what his skills are in the real world. That is my guess.
More likely it's a mistake.

I know that a lot of collectors are ready to see it retired because it's outdated.
I'm still going to miss this mold.
Posted by Evil Eye on October 15th, 2015 @ 1:33pm CDT
Having recently been converted to the idea of the Seekers being deluxes I'm actually considering picking up some Classics Seekers, probably starting with a cheaper one to see if I even like the mold. Out of interest, how big is it? Could someone post a picture of a Classics Seeker next to, say, CW Skydive?
Posted by Rated X on October 15th, 2015 @ 5:30pm CDT
(Greatest of all time for the non hop hop fans)
Such a shame to see this mold go because the Armada Starscream mold doesn't hold a candle to this one. Cmon, TFCC give us a god damn Redwing (the character you created) and I wouldnt mind a G2 Sandstorm from the Ramjet version of the mold either...
