The Decepticon "Conehead" Seekers have arrived! The three G1 seekers with cone heads who first appeared in second season of the G1 cartoon, have finally joined their fellow Seekers on Seibertron. There are now galleries of G1 Ramjet, Dirge, and Thrust for your viewing pleasure. After you are done checking out the newest galleries do not forget to check out the rest of the galleries in the Seibertron.com's Toy Galleries located in the Seibertron.com Toy Section.

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Beautiful! I love to see the G1 stuff added to the galleries.

I have Dirge, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp. I remember having Skywarp as a kid and it was one of my favorite TFs.

Seeing the galleries reminds me I need to add Ramjet and Thrust to go with the rest.

They were $12 - $13 something at Target.

I don't recall Thrust's wings being positioned like that in robot mode. They should be pivoted around 180 degrees, not switched around like that.

Should look like this:

I've always reversed the wings of the Conehead Seekers for some reason. Different strokes for different folks. Right or wrong, that's how I like to transform them. :)

Please, Please, Please Takara - Reissue Thrust and Ramjet! :sad:

I've got the Dirge reissue which I adore amd I find the prospect of a complete Coneheads Squadron much more interesting than having the three original seekers.

Awesome Awesome Awesome!

So beautiful!

Although.... to nit pick... and I don't know what is official, I always put Ramjets fins on his ankles. Just because you can.

Superb galleries. So nice to see these again.

I've got Ramjet's original instruction booklet at home, and if memory serves me correctly, that is the official transormation. So there you go.

I'm glad someone else pointed this out. Thrust is the only conehead with wings small enough to point downward, like the original three.

When I got my Thrust brand spitting new, my only pet peeve (with him and Ramjet) was that he didn't quite have enough space to place his large wing insignias in the correct location (in front of the fans). Looking at Sportimus's, even the Marvel Entertainment Group's locations (on the larger brown surface) looks crowded.

Ok, I retook the photos for Ramjet and Thrust. I did Thrust's lower ankle wings more like his animated version instead of leaving them in place like the instructions more or less show to do.

I have all the original seekers, this makes me want to bust em' out again. The only thing is I am missing on of Ramjets little wings :-(
