So is this canon? Also 3 pack FOC seeker mold make it happen!

Anything the Club makes is canon, unless stated otherwise. With that, we have:

Classic
Starscream
Thundercracker
Skywarp

Coneheads
Thrust
Dirge
Ramjet

Welcoming Committee
Sunstorm
Hotlink
Bitstream
Nacelle

Rainmakers
Acid Storm
Ion Storm
Nova Storm

Female
Slipstream

Am I missing anyone?

Redwing - sub group unknown

Sandstorm - unmade G2 jet no canon as of yet to my knowledge (could be wrong)

[Sabrblade]

Ion Storm's pic is missing:



Also, the comments provide the credits for the artwork:

I'd like to thanks Brandy Dixon for providing the artwork, and Betsy Blackie and Bill Forster (along with Brandy) for help with names and bios. Dixon is the colorist, with line art by Rui Onishi and Berious.

Excellent, thank you - I did credit Dixon, but had little time to check the rest. Updating now.

Also, these designs in the artwork are original designs not based on preexisting ones, made especially for this occasion, and (for those wondering) should not be taken as implying the coming of new toys based on them.

[Cascadia]

Hello everyone. I have read your questions. In terms of the design, it is a mix of designs (some G1, some movie, and TF: Prime), so it is a new one.

[Deadput]

Wait the art is official?




I thought it was really well done fan art.


That's cool the guys have new names now and Ion storm is better and much more thought out then the fan names (Ice Storm, Hydro Storm and the such)



Kind of sucks he has lightning powers considering that's Thundercracker's gig.

No it's not. That's Shrapnel's gig. Thundercracker makes weaponised sonic booms.

[Cascadia]

Ion Storm's lightning ability is more internal whereas as Shrapnel's is harnessed from them sky. TC never had lightning abilities like Insurgent mentioned.

I know he makes sonic booms and I know Shrapnel can use lightning but I'm just saying among the Seekers.



I swear that Thundercracker had some sort of electricity powers though maybe on a box bio but I heard it somewhere before.

The art was officially commissioned.

You might have heard it from someone who mistook thunder for lightning/electricity.

Probably the case.

[Optimum Supreme]

Ion Storm? I'm guessing that one gets a name change if Hasbro ever does make these as toys.

[Cascadia]

There is no telling what would happen.

[MaverickPrime]

Ha! I knew there'd be more uses for the classics mold! Red Wing and these two will happen eventually, trust me

[Hellscream9999]

These look awesome, and they sound appropriately epic Would love to see them made into CW limbs (can you just imagine airraid tatted up in lightning bolts )

[bdixonarts]

The art work for the rainmakers was a private commission back in 2012 and we did not know at the time it would make it to being official but we held hope on it. The images of Ion Storm and Acid Storm were the first renderings in the upgraded style i sketched out. Then the current image of Nova storm came later. I colored all three of them and did the original concept for which their final lines are rendered from. i also personally named Nova Storm back in early 2011 and helped come up with the first name Ion Storm had.

This was a project of passion done by fans and because i am also a comic colorist and have done work the last 2 years with fun pub i had made some friends and was approached on their info.

Here is the original image for Nova Storm. i used this back in 2012 at botcon in the digital art contest.

Jim Sorenson has provided an answer, along with more about the art and the artists involved:

And, just to be 100% clear: it was great to work with Brandy and Betsy on this, because they obviously have a ton of enthusiasm for these characters and lots of backstory worked out for them, but as far as FP is concerned, the only thing that we are considering canon is what Vector Prime actually wrote, and even then, it only definitely applies to the Wings universe. Other writers may go in other directions.

Love those names. Very fitting!

They should make a combiner wars Seeker mold and just keep repainting it into all different kinds of seekers! Imagine the possibilities..

Holy bejezus here man! don't know how I missed that, but that's quite the list. Axiom Nexus would have a field day with this

Several days late but good stuff all around on these. Fun to see new takes on Seekers outside of the norm! Any plans to make prints of these available?
