Hey from Shokwave2

Wow i like the busts

[STL]

I LOVE your levelled display! The busts are great too. I have a few as well but nowhere near as many as you. Very cool that you've got all 3 Seekers. How'd you get those if you don't mind me asking?

With the light reflection, it almost looks as if soundwave is firing haha.
Cool statues.

Thanks everyone

Seekers? Those are just the standard Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp busts. I don't plan to buy the 3 seekers because i only collect characters i like, and plus they are just repaints. I'm still after a Jazz bust and will get a few more when the $AU gets better.

Also in my Shockwave collection, i have the Alternator in robot mode and the Binaltech in car mode. And i'm keeping an eye out for a cheapish Shockwave metallic hard hero bust.

Before someone jumps in to quote the 'official' definition of 'seekers' (Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker were first called Seekers in a 1984 US catalogue, but fans later attached the term to any redeco/remould of the original Starscream toy) - who do you refer to as 'Seekers'?

[shokwave2]

Since we're talking busts, these 3 are known as the Seeker busts, as per Diamond Select (Thrust, Ramjet, Dirge). Whereas the "original seekers" are only known as their names (Starscream, etc, etc) in the bust world.

I only follow G1 cartoons and never read the comics, catalogues, etc. So to me the Seekers are Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge. I don't believe Starscream and his brothers were ever called Seekers in the G1 TV show were they? But alot of you guys read comics and books so you would probably have more knowledge of the rest of TF law and refer to them as Seekers.

So, in regards to this question:

Starscream and Skywarp i got from BBTS, Thundercracker from Case Fresh ($55 at the moment).

I don't have that much TF knowledge like Sky Shadow, Goktimus or Paulbot and I'm like you. Most of my notions about TFs stem from G1. And one of those is that all of the first six Decepticon jets are all Seekers. I have no idea where I picked up the term to be honest but its just become that.

Are you keen on the Prowl bust? I'm very, very keen on it. That's the last of the lot I want. I'm thinking Elita-One too given that's the only representation of her even around ( and I'm not counting that lazy TFM repaint). I'm a Prowl fanatic so I can't wait to get him. The $AUD not friendly atm so probably gonna sit on it awhile.

[Paulbot]

They were just the "Decepticon Jets" (or planes) to me until I found the Internet I still call them that unless I'm talking to diehard fans.

[shokwave2]

Are you keen on the Prowl bust?

Yes, i'm also very keen. See i grew up on G1 cartoons and hence why i only collect G1 busts and only the main characters and characters i like. See i'll pick up Prowl, Smokescreen, maybe Bluestreak and Frenzy/Ravage. I won't get Arcee, Elita One, Soundblaster because they weren't in the cartoon enough for me and i'm not a fan of the characters.
