Transformers Generations Selects SIEGE Voyager Class Red Wing to be Revealed Tonight

Has anyone ever confirmed the existence of a metal pin variant of starscream? Or was it all unsubstantiated?

Has anyone ever confirmed the existence of a metal pin variant of starscream? Or was it all unsubstantiated? If they released a version of one of the other seekers with the pin I would definitely buy one.. as if I d the toy excellent except for the chest popping off all the time.

Are you excited for another obscure Seeker release, or will you be passing this altogether? Tell us in the discussion below.

But you know what? I would much rather have gotten this in the Classics mold. Yes I realize that toy is ancient, does not match the play pattern, and is too small, but for completion's sake, couldnt we have gotten it one more time?

There's not really anything going on, being such an obscure character born of misunderstanding between Takara, Hasbro, E-Hobby and Funpub. So I guess the appeal is 1) Hey, one more Siege seeker! and 2) Well, he's never had a toy before!.

Maybe add 3) Hey, we can actually buy an obscure-ass Seeker figure without Botcon these days! Hooray!

I think a LOT of fans are planning on doing the same, honestly. It shouldn't be hard to do either. Starscream's head comes off without much effort.

If the battle damage is the only issue, just wipe it off with some rubbing alcohol. I like the damage overall, but I might wipe it off of some figures after I add Selects characters like Smokescreen.

You can't wipe off the battle damage when it's paint on paint, though. Battle damage paint on bare plastic is no problem to remove, but when it's on top of already paint on detail, you're going to lose both paints in the process.

If you are referring to the 'Rainmaker' trio, then the yellow one is not Sunstorm but rather called Nova Storm. Their trio consist of Acid Storm, Nova Storm and Ion Storm. People assume Sunstorm is considered a Rainmaker (he isn't, its Nova Storm who is the yellow one)....except when his Botcon set is called that due to miscommunications. Oops.

So just out of curiosity, how do we tell the difference between Sunstorm and Nova Storm? Are they a different shade of yellow? Because when I see a yellow seeker I immediately think Sunstorm.

As you discovered with Sideswipe.

Sunstorm is more cheddar cheese yellow with white. Nova Storm is more solid lemon yellow.

As for those two purple seekers, they did that again in Cyberverse and I sure couldnt tell them apart just based on colour.

If your Cyberverse reference is what I think it is, then what they did might actually be worse: they took Nova Storm, who is usually yellow and technically the only yellow named Seeker since Sunstorm is orange, and made them purple and a female character despite the show ALSO using Slipstream, causing possible confusion where there didn't need to be.

Yes excactly, and they kept that all throughout the show, making it very confusing in the final climactic battles.
