Takara will follow up with their Alternity toyline by releasing the line's third seeker, Thundercracker. A repaint using the Skywarp mold, the figure features a metallic blue colorscheme. Amazon.co.jp hooks us up with a product page, and that also means official images. Check them out below!
Thundercracker is set for release this October, and you can pre-order the figure at any of our sponsors on the right sidebar.

Yep, have Skywarp as my desktop wallpaper and the poses match.

I don't own one, but I got to handle one at Botcon and to be honest, I found him very detailed and very disappointing.
If you own Alternator Battle Ravage, I think that's a very good comparison. If you're looking for a snazzy Alternity figure, go with Red Convoy or Blue Megatron, both are striking and good figures.
The seeker mold is fiddly and kind of "not-fun". For what that's worth.

Alternity are all delux sized.

I have Skywarp and Generations Thrust on my desk here. The tops of Thrust's air intakes are just over Skywarps chest shield - almost level to Skywarp's eyes/nose. So with Skywarps intakes, he's about an inch taller.

Yeah, to be honest I'm not impressed with these representing the Seekers. However, the only reason I wanted to know if they were deluxe size is mainly to see if I could replace the head with Generations Blurr and just call it that As off topic as this may get, I'm not too happy with Generations Blurr being a repaint of Drift's mold. It's a great mold but I just don't see Blurr in it. I'll have to do more research on this Alternity mold before I purchase it for my kitbash reasons though. Thanks for all of the feedback guys, I really appreciate it!
@Forgotten, Yes it really does. Thank you for providing a comparision pic

But these Alternity Orochi cars just don't do it for me. I think I'm going to skip this one. I'll save those 50 bucks to pay for my Piranacon set.

They were never called Seekers in Japanese fiction to begin with, just generically "Jetron"
