Not the color layout I was expecting but I like it. The car is spectacular.

Interesting.
The face reminds me of Jindrax's, a villain from Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger (Power Rangers Wild Force).

The robot modes are oddly effeminate-looking. If they make a Slipstream redeco I might actually buy this mould.

I think the only thing missing is the cockpit-torso.
Seeing as how the current chestplate is a fake-hoodpiece anyways, I don't see why they didn't do that...

Some people don't think they resemble because they're not planes!

Also, their faces and the color scheme are not as similar as people want them to be?

Not my cup of tea... but I guess I'm in the minority? :)

Not really how I imagined it, but serviceable. I'll pick up one for sure, just like CJ.

Barf.... this almost looks like it should be Blackarachnia.

Could you please face the other direction when that happens again.

they kinda strike me as "fembots" for some odd reason too.

With a different head, the Skywarp figure could make a good Tarantulas.

Agreed!!! :D So gorgeous! The car mode is a work of art! It belongs in a museum alongside the Alfa Romaeo Brera! :D

I like the figure, but I think I will wait for a Thundercracker repaint

the alt mode looks nice, but I'm not impressed with anything else on this. I will have to sadly cancel my preorder :( and I was so pumped for this....

They look great! The alt mode is cool and the robot mode is a very nice translation of the the original forms. Might pick up Skywarp at TFcon if the price is right.

Ugliest car EVER.

Starscreams bot mode looks cool.

Pretty cool, but I will invest my $$$ somewhere else. Like Thrust.

And HA Jazz

And the repaint of whats his face into G1 Jazz.

And....

Dammit I'll still be broke, lol.

Come to think of it, with those over-the-shoulder bits of kibble this might make a good Arcee redeco candidate. I'd definitely buy one of these if they did that.

The robot modes look great, but don't immediately say Skywarp or Starscream to me. Faaaar too much purple on Skywarp. The head sculpts and paint jobs need work! Awesome car modes though.

The car looks pretty sweet, Robot mode is alright, but Starscream could have more blue, and skywarp looks more like Tarantulus.. Also of all places, did they have to put the decepticon sign on the crotch?

They look great, I just don't like the character selection. To me the seekers are planes, period. I didn't like it when the Alts went this route either.

I too would've prefered jet modes, as I too agree that the Seekers are jets and that is that, but these do look good. The car modes are really nice, but I do agree that Skywarp looks a bit too much like Tarantulus, so I will probably go with Starscream here.

I think the concept of the seekers as cars is a pretty wicked concept, much of the reason I bought the shattered glass seekers. It is a alterni(ty) universe afterall. But to be honest I think these are fugly bots. But to each his own....
