He's gotta pay his dues with a couple of ill-fitting repaints before he gets a good toy. That's just how the system works.

I mean, just look at the glow-up that Jhiaxus got.
I didn't know this was out.
Or these.
If only he had the rest of the tetras. I hope someone does an updated squadron with the rainmakers, that zombie one and Senator Shockwave.
The ladies are looking fine.

Keep in mind this is pre-Earth Nacelle; maybe he didn't get the turbines until he scanned an earth mode.
Yeah, but, the bio of his first toy established that he's supposed to be the fourth member of the Welcoming Committee, with that toy representing a body upgrade from his original pre-Earth form. With that in mind, his pre-Earth form ought to instead look like the dark blue seeker in the center of this pic:
From left to right: Hotlink, Bitstream, Sunstorm, Nacelle, Acid Storm, Ion Storm, Nova Storm
What're its problems?
Just curious since I don't have a copy of the mold yet - been holding out for a G1 Skyquake (or something off that mold like MW Starscream or King Atlas).
Whoops, sorry for posting that twice, I thought I decided not to post it the first time.Yeah, but, the bio of his first toy established that he's supposed to be the fourth member of the Welcoming Committee, with that toy representing a body upgrade from his original pre-Earth form.

Like, genuinely embarrassed about that. I don't think my opinions are they good they need to be spammed, honestly!
I can confirm that the Deadeye Duel set is also shipping out. I got mine back on Sunday.
A lot of having to move parts out of the way for other parts and not enough “locking into place” for parts as well.
Yeah, hopefully. I skipped Prime Skyquake because of unappealing colors and bought a Dreadwing figuring that a hypothetical G1 colors Skyquake can hang out with him.
Agreed. I know it's about "slots" and distribution and whatnot, but beyond that - Seekers just seem like a way to print money. I think the only Seeker in recent memory that could have remotely been called a shelf-warmer was Sparkless Seeker and I attribute that to him being a mud-colored toy in a box. Anything that is a fun color combo seems like it should do well. Just slot one in per wave (ideally using Earthrise regular/conehead molds).
He'd be a goodbase to make... Slaughterhouse? I think is his fan name; the Onslaught colored Seeker for season 3 I think.
Slaughterhouse is the name I gave to Sparkless Seeker, but I'd happily give it to a more proper adaptation.
Also, I love that Seeker group into squads of 3 Seekers. For my Tetrajets we have:
