which Hasbro MP seeker do you think will be released this year?

[Starscream77]

Coneheads FFS !!!

Hopefully the cone heads. Need more deceptions in the collection!

Either Bitstream (the blue Rainmaker) or the Coneheads. I wouldn't mind Hotlink (the generic purple Seeker), but I don't care about Redwing.

didn't know that was his name, i always assumed it was something like Icestorm, it would be weird if they didn't finish the rainmakers (i still need acid storm)

always more room for decepticons in a masterpiece collection, aside from MP megatron (because of how hard it is to get one here, not to mention size with other figures) there's only really the seekers, sound wave(+his cassets) and exhaust when he comes out...

I would love to see the coneheads done officially at least this year

Totes agree. And I was also surprised that they named him "Bitstream," I would've also gone with something ending with "storm." I'd personally go for "Blizzard Storm"; as it's also a line from the 2nd verse of the Transformers Car Robot intro.

Bitstream (and the purple Hotlink) were just FunPub's name for that deco Seeker. Sure, Hasbro signs off on names, but if FunPub had named it (Decepticon) "Icestorm" (and Firestorm for Hotlink who had a flame-thrower) to go with the "storm" theme, Hasbro probably would have approved them as well.
Unfortunately, even though the FunPub toys/characters are apparently part of the aligned univere, TFWiki have retconned the unnamed Gen1 cartoon characters as the names FunPub created... leaving their grubby fingerprints on the canon of Gen1.
I know Sunstorm was a retcon by Ehobby and Dreamwave in the early Noughties, but it sorta feels wrong with FunPub having that same power to re-write elements of the original Gen1 universe.

not that I really mind; but isn't there some hoo-hah about Sunstorm not even being a "rainmaker"?

Anyways, I wouldn't mind any of the generic, lesser known repaints as mentioned. I would buy any repaint as long as it was seen in the g1 toon at all.

There were two best-known sets of unnamed redecos in two early episodes of the cartoon... a cartoon that was filled with many many many many different Seeker decos.

One trio of Seekers in the Gen1 cartoon was labelled at some time in the fandom as the "Welcoming Committee" Seekers of the first episode of Gen1, who were...
orange,
light purple, and
light blue (same colour as Thundercracker but more white on legs).

The other trio of Seekers in the Gen1 carton was labelled quite early on in the online fandom (as far back as I can remember in the mid-90s), as the Rainmakers in the episode "Divide and Conquer" who fired acid rain on the group of escaping Autobots. These three were...
bright green,
bright yellow, and
mid-blue (darker than Thundercracker).

Now, most assume that Sunstorm was part of the Rainmakers, because it has "storm" in the name, but the colouring has always been closer to the orange coloured Welcoming Committee Seeker. Since that one was named about 10 years ago for the Ehobby toy (and the colour scheme used by Dreamwave in their Gen1 comic)... fans since then are forgiven for mixing up the two trios when recognising Sunstorm as being in the first episode instead of the Rainmakers episode.

Then in 2013, FunPub released a 3-pack of Seeker jets that showed that even the people in charge of the names got confused. They had incorrectly labelled as Rainmakers (which they later agreed was meant to be the Welcoming Committee) probably because it had Sunstorm in their trio of toys.
So now that we have a Sunstorm toy that is officially a "Welcoming Committee" Seeker... is it also a "Rainmaker" Seeker (as in, is it now, or always was, the same Seeker that was the yellow one in the Rainmaker episode)?

[High_Q]

Any of the coneheads would do; otherwise not interested in Seekers.
So many retool opportunities - why don't they just release one already?!

[drifand]

None, good grief, lets have cyclonus and scourge instead.

If Coneheads happen it will be a TT release first. According to TFwiki Takara owns all moulds it helps develop or as in the case of all MP moulds developed outright. Hasbro just uses the mould and has no authority to remould MP-11 into Coneheads.

As for stuff Hasbro can do, MP-11 Starscream and Skywarp would be nice for you Hasbro MP collectors.

As a Takara MP collector I'm hoping Hasbro HK will do a TT MP-11TC to go with MP-11SW.
