I think Slipstream could definetly be included. As well as Sunstorm and Acid Rain.


Acid Rain and Sunstorm were TECHNICALLY in the Gen 1 cartoon but Sunstorm was just one of a myriad of different coloured seekers to kill or fill in animation space in those first few episodes. He has no name or characterization to speak of. Similarly Acid Storm was the same, though slightly more noteable as still in Cybertronian form and performing a specific function. Now Sunstorm had a brilliant run in DW and a cameo in IDW (I thought he was wasted - would have loved to see him set up a 'Church of Primus' on the new Cybertron) and Acid Storm has appeared in IDW too. Also they both have numerous toys in other toy lines to their credit.

Slipstream appeared in Animated and also in the escalation mode of WFC and now has a special toy of her own too.

I think all 3 should be included. I'd love to see an IDW flashback mini-series of Starscream with his entire Seeker brigade! You could even put in that white guy from HFTD that was a recolour of ROTF Dirge (own the toy but cant remember his name right now but would be cool to include him as a 4th conehead).
