This had me really excited until I seen Thundercracker. Out of all the background seeker decos they could've chosen they picked the one that looks exactly like Thundercracker. I think they just wanted an excuse to make a new Thundercracker that was solid blue instead of that blue that's slightly green tinted. The only real difference is that the actual Thundercracker has silver on the waist and the Seeker doesn't and it also has silver instead on the knees in place of black.

They could've done Air Warrior, Blast, Wheezing Arrow, even Itami Prime.There's literally at least 25 other options they could've gone with before they even touched the six or so that look like slightly different Thundercrackers. Yet here we are with "Haze" I think. It looks like "Haze" in any event. "Haze" the unofficial name for this particular deco. Although it could also be "Dead Air". The blue is too light to be "Skywraith" or "Jetblast", and too dark to be "Blueheat" or "Firestorm". If it NEEDED to be blue then they could've gone with "Psyclone" since that one at least has a much different overall deco layout finished off with all black lower legs. Or Earth mode Bitstream or Ionstorm. Maybe even the Dirge colored Starscream. Just something other than one of the two who look exactly like Thundercracker. There's going to be a flood of these and/or Thundercrackers on Ebay. 

The Quintesson Bailiff at least takes the deco from the Allicon and gives it to the Bailiff version of the mold with the Bailiff's deco layout. At least that retool is getting the proper deco finally.

Autotroopers are a long time coming. Not much else to say here. Two new and different heads are cool. Makes me with I kept my extra Siege Ratchet and didn't paint my other extra Siege Ratchet (an unfinished repaint into green Ratchet) so I could give the extra heads to what would've been my three Siege Ratchets. That way I could've had two sets of three Autotroopers as I troopbuild in threes and would have three extra heads.

Jhiaxus troopers? Okay. Two new and different heads too. Okay. Pretty random but I dig it. Surprisingly not too far off from the one picture I can find of them. Just found another picture of a bunch of them together. They certainly look the part. Tank mode is wrong though. As well as no jet mode. But I guess that's why they went with Skullgrin and his hover tank alt mode thing.

Shame the Autobots only get one troopbuilder here. One 'Bot, two 'Cons and a Quintesson. Sunstreaker clones exist too. They could've done him up in a color that hasn't been done yet on that mold yet like blue. There's also a non-police white version that they could've done.

That price though. $78 for three deluxes and a voyager WITH new toolings and extra heads? Hasbro might actually be series about finally trying to Target the adult fans. Pun totally intended. I don't think I've seen them be that generous with their pricing on a multipack in a long time. The Rainmakers were about $10 off and World's Collide set was also cheaper than it should've been since I think someone forgot that the Kingdom Primal mold was a voyager and not a deluxe. They were all Target sets too. I remember back during RotF, DotM and that one WFC set they had multipacks that were under retail value but those were all Toys R Us exclusives if I'm not mistaken. This is almost a whole voyager figure for free with that price. I think the previous most generous was DotM voyager optimus and shockwave with a nearly free deluxe Bumblebee or something like that.

Finally seeing better pics now it looks more like "Dead Air" than it does "Haze" but now instead of "Haze" it looks kind of like "Jetblast" as well. Actually just take the silver and black off and it could pass for Earth mode Ionstorm.

Regardless there's too many blue Seekers in general. There's technically like 16 and a half different blue Seekers. I'm counting Nacelle twice though as he has two different color schemes and Slipstream as the half. The actual color scheme for Nacelle from the show was a very dark blue and the one they keep making toys of which was originally just Thundercracker with very red Thrust wings from a single toy advertisement with the Aces showing off the Elite's new wings. 

I would've loved the non-Acidstorm green one "Gunwing". Or the all white one "Phantom". Maybe the Silverbolt colored one "Molotov".

Anyway though I preordered two sets on Target with my Redcard to get even more of a discount. I'll get the third set whenever as they only let me get two now. Again, expect a bunch of these to flood Ebay at some point.

I'm going to pass on the Ironhide/Prowl two pack as it's boring. I love that they don't have translucent plastic but the damage is not doing it for me. I don't set up dioramas and I don't do photo sessions. And unlike "dead" Optimus Prime, these can't pass for any other characters or even really be used as customs...unless they're dead. I do plan on turning my extra "dead" Optimus Prime into Nemesis since surprisingly not even Takara has used that version of the mold for Nemesis yet.

I already have Grimlock and this isn't any different so that's an easy pass for me. 

that blue seeker could make a nice cobra commander crossover
