    Nah, Archer came up with his own set of camo-colours for the seeker repaint and someone else probably tied it into the rainmaker characters to make it a legit G1 homage and non a makeup-gun recolour.

    Given that the cartoon characters had no names and different colour schemes to what the toy will have, IMHO it's stretching things a bit to say it's one of them. But then so is the creation of the Sunstorm character I guess.

    bingo, this dude has just as much right to be a G1 character as the Creamsicle creamseeker.

    Well whoever did the clever name slapping managed a sale. I would have otherwise continued to shun the figure if the bio had not tied him to G1.

    I guess that is one of the flaws of being a character driven collector, I will buy a crappy figure if it successfully represents a character of a fictional universe that I enjoy.

    i didnt know that Kup, so Archer das clown was trying something else and some clever undering managed to put the name to the green.

    That person should be in charge


    This is as close to the Rainmaker we are going to get, im pleased that one of them finally has a toy and some Bio.

    Maybe he came to Earth in 2005 and scanned an earth plane, a reason as to why he doesnt look like he did in 'Divide and Conquer'

    I'm warming to him, as he has a fairly realistic paintjob for a seeker. Sure Bright green would have been show accurate, but also make him look like Kermit the Frog. Not that I got anything against Kermit but I don't think he'd make a good Decepticon.

    Lastly Acid storm helps reinforce the Decepticon side for those of other who couldn't aquire/and or aford the botcon set. As without that set the Decepticon Classics are rather badly outnumbered.

    Bio tying him to G1, Camouflage paint job etc...

    It still hasn't worked on me.

    well

    he was fluroscent green before, this new Earth mode of his was probably the closest he will get to his old 80s colours


    Now if only we could have his fellow team members, BW Neo Thrust looks like the yellah one

    Muppet-inspired Transformers? I like that idea
