The representative of Hasbro AUS just answered the questions from OzFormers discussion board, and among all those statements, there's a particular interesting one: The confirmation of :animated Voyager Sunstorm which will come packaged with Activators Ratchet.

 

19 - Are any of the following US store exclusives being released in AUS stores?

- Stealth Lockdown (redeco) w/ Optimus Prime & Bumblebee (Leg repacks) (US Target) Yes in Target – should ship in next month

- Rescue Ratchet (redeco) w/ Prowl & Starscream (Leg repacks) (US Target) Yes in Target – should ship in next month

- Battle for the Cyber Planet Keys (Deluxe 5-pack - repack) (US Sam's Club) We currently plan on releasing this in 2009 probably in June/July as an exclusive – yet TBC

- Optimus Prime (Voyager) w/ Autobot Ratchet (BBat) (repacks) (US unknown) I think this has now changed to an assortment of Voyager Sunstorm w/Activator Ratchet and Voyager Shockwave w/Activator Bumblebee. We are looking to do this in 2009 but TBC.

 

That officially makes him the second repaint of Starscream, after Skywarp. And, probably further down the line, we might expect more Seeker repaints of Animated Starscream.

 

Last but not least, it's the courtesy of OzFormers, and please click for more details.

I might get him just so I can pose him kneeling beside Megatron, and went all "Oh wise & great Megatron, you've truly proven your vast superiority!"

 

:win

lol I love how they just wont give us a Screamer, Sky warp and Thunder cracker all in the same size class. But that to one side I might pick him up over Sky warp as Sunny was not really ever part of the seeker trio and thus it wont seem like I'm missing any members if I got him

YES! I've always wanted a Sunstorm figure. Its gonna be cool to have my Animated Starscream figure next to him.

Well with the two customs I am ready to shoot a gallery for, I only need to customise 1 more screamer to have the full animated seeker set.. what with the two re-paints.

awesome just plain awesome

You could always pick up the Armada seekers if you wanted... or the Robotmasters ones... or the Henkei ones... or the MP ones...

 

I think Sunstorm's colors will look really good on this mold.

Call me when these can be bought at a US retail price.

 

I have to admit that I am interested in Sonstorm too.

Oh Sunstorm. It has my interest, but it will have to look really good to justify the purchase.

Wahh. They're available to purchase. My guess is that just about all of us have paid a premium for a TF item at least once.
