Any particular reason you can't get all of em Bidoofdude?

For me I say get em all - all 6. Though since you've kinda jumped into the bandwagon in purchasing the seekers a little late so don't expect them to be cheap now as the supply is not as readily available now and some are quite limited.

Generation Thrust and Dirge were sold in mass retail so it would be cheaper and easier to get them AU$25 IIRC. I say get Universe Starscream - more accurate color scheme faithful to G1, same mold. Though, screamer - be it Classics or Universe version is now not cheap coz he is not in production anymore.

Skywarp be it Classics or Henkei/Gentei will always be expensive coz of limited release here in Australia - as for Gentei/Henkei - not at all. There is no Hasbro released version of Skywarp other than the 2-pack so the figure is quite limited. When I say limited - even though it was sold in mass retail - Target, it was in a 2 pack with Magnus and as per my experience I had to trek all the way to Burwood just to grab 1. My local Target - if ever, must've sold it sometime after I got mine - coz there was sightings of it later on, but it was not as many as say the individual packed figures. SO best save up for him if you wanna get him as well - He has the best paintjob anyways be it in G1 or the newer version - purple, silver and black merry well together palette wise

Conehead Ramjet - well there's the Henkei Version and the Classics version - personally I prefer the Classics version - he aint cheap nowadays coz well, as I stated before not in production anymore but he does crop up at times in ebay cheap - keep your eyes peeled. The Henkei version is just a bit too flashy IMO with the chrome kinda not much helping it unlike say... Henkei Astrotrain.

Yeah - so for me GET THEM ALL. One can never have too much seekers

Acid storm is more of a new character "retconned" by Hastak to be one of the "rainmaker seekers" seen in the G1 Cartoons first episodes so if you feel like getting him, do so. Although he is out of production again


All of em anyways use the same base mould, just a few difference in wing attachments - head (for the coneheads) and paintjob. Kinda like G1

As for my own personal collection loosely on display


I bought and prefer, and have on display Universe Starscream ( Target bought) - again shouldve bought extra, oh well.
I have given away/sold my Classics Starscream - I should've bought an extra to keep MISC , but, Im not one to collect MISC.. before.

I have Classics Skywarp - so Ididnt bother getting Henkei version because Ive heard and read of QC issues. Plus at the time of it's release I have no budget for it.

I had enough budget at the time so i got Henkei Thrust and Dirge. Plus since the figures were released in Botcon - everyone was convinced these will never be mass released since the mould was already for Botcon release - and Im not liquid to buy the Botcon versions. So I got these when it was announced. Quite pricy really.
Which, Hasbro later on spit on and decided to mass release the mould in better more G1 accurate color. I also bought those, since they were released mass retail and I like the color scheme the Generations version - they were cheap anyways so bought to keep MISC and as back-up figures in case I repack the Henkei ones or damage those ones. If I didnt have the Henkei versions already on display I would still be very happy with the Hasbro Generations version as they're very G1 in colorscheme.

Gentei/Henkei Thundercracker - coz during that time there was no clear sign that Hasbro will ever mass release this last seeker - they did eventually , years after So I got me Generations Thundercracker - MISC coz you know for back up - the Generations one is better though no QC issue with regards to the shoulder guns not fitting tightly. Also the Blue hue is richer and darker.

Universe Acid Storm - coz he was there on the shelves at Big W and cheap Though I recall a slight shortage in Melbourne of the figure
