Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Ion Storm Nova Storm Acid Storm Three Pack Found on Ebay

they look so bland and uninteresting, guess that's 'g1 accuracy' for ya

Kinda wish they took a few more liberties with the deco but that is what they look like. I would've liked a more ice blue Ion, and a darker yellow Nova. I think Acid Storm looks fine I love that color green.

I agree they look very, very G1 accurate, which has me feeling like deeper colors all around would have just looked better. Maybe by deeper I mean grittier to a degree, which to me is the underlying vibe with Siege and the battle damage paint it's that gritty war feel....then the ultimate in 90's neon comes flying in...

This was on the TFW's leakers 2nd part of his list. Which means we can also expect all 3 powerdashers.

Drill type from Brunt with new Head
Jet type from sixgun with a new head
F1 type from Cog with a new head

I hope this is real but I gotta admit the MUH GEEWUN has resulted in some eyesore when it come to color scheme. They could have at least added some colors to the arms and legs even if it would just be grey or black.

Sweet, my first news credit.

No. No no no no....

Dang it.

My whole reason for passing on the mold was because we would “Never See the assortment of Seekers we got with the Deluxe Class Classics Mold.”

I hate being wrong.

There are now more than enough individual Seekers from this mold that I can’t use the “Not able to Troop Build” as an excuse anymore, Now we just need the Coneheads

I figure this will probably be in the 100-120 range, not the listed 175 it sold for.

3*30+ whatever small exclusive markup

Hm... Alright, fine. Guess I'm biting the bullet on the Siege Seeker mold 3 more times

They look like Chinese knockoffs, lol!

The tfw2005 leaker hinted they were coming next. Maybe pt 2 of wfc

If the Coneheads do show up, then I hope they're a new mold. The Coneheads' transformation scheme is too different from the current Tetrajet mold for it to work in my opinion

I find no info on its upc anywhere I searched. 630509868919

Yeah, so I guess you better run back to that Studio Series line for Bay's notorious inaccuracies.

My eyes are bleeding. Didn’t expect them to have TR Blurr Syndrome and be monochromatic. It’s not a very interesting look.

I just asked the seller where they got that Seeker pack from. She I believe it was said that their friend with a regional manager of Target who purchased some and then sold to her. Car issues made her sell it even though she didn't want to . I assume this means that it might be a Target exclusive even though it wasn't on the box?

Looks terrible.


I must have it.

I was just going to ask how this stuff gets revealed let alone put up for sale.

Very possible. Red Wing's box didn't have a target logo on it either.

To me, the appeal is how bright their colors are, making them look like they are glowing with pure energy.

Super Saiyan Seekers!

I’m gonna need that

Damn exclusives...

So your saying the ion storm blue is brighter than thundercracker's?

It's certainly a louder, more neon blue. Thundercracker's is more subdued, looking less like he's glowing blue and more like he's just naturally blue.

They look really bland but I almost feel like the more I look at them the more I want them. What wrong with me.

If only I liked this mould! I have to admit they are pushing just about all the right buttons for me. I really wanted to get these guys to pad out my Decepticon minions. It makes me really want to say yes to this set.

I keep having to remind myself that I'm just a few short week away from putting away my current versions of these guy. Damn, if it was just a few years ago obscure repaints like these would have me pulling the trigger on the entire set.

I'm really glad they're catering to the fans this way, though. And all at once too!

You know what, like it love it or hate it this is a landmark. A big chunk of Transformers legend made real and official. I can’t help but smile knowing this is a real thing that exists I love this hobby.

Is Redwing confirmed to be 100% exclusive to Target? Because this really, really fucking sucks due to Target being stillborn and flopping in Canada

It would be nice to have this for having more seekers in a collection without them being Starscream,Thundercracker and Skywarp.

More Decepticons! Yay!
More OBSCURE Decepticons even! Yay!
Proof that those rumors are real! Mixed Ehs/Yays!
More Siege number confirmations! YAY!
ACID STORM! YAY!

...ahem. So that means that only S44-47 and S55-63 are mysteries now, assuming the other 3 35th anniversary repaints come after Bluestreak like they should. That also means that of the now 7 uses of this Siege Seeker mold, 3 of them are characters who have never had actual figures before. That's pretty awesome. Do I wish they had a bit more varied paint? Absolutely, but what we're getting doesn't look bad by any means and I will absolutely grab it if I can.

...also I just really like Acid Storm, he's my favorite Seeker. Was that obvious?

I love the neon. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. I do wish they'd improved on the cartoon by making them less monochrome (like, say, white chest/shoulder setups) but still.

I can actually make an excuse for them being so bright here, they are rainmakers who do use weaponry like Acid Rain, some animals in real life are brightly colored to show that they are poisonous and such.


They might not be animals of course but their brightness can be about Radiation and other such energy's.


I'm going to make Nova Storm basically G1 Movie Divebomb in my collection, his name will still be Nova Storm but he will have the same sort of character of how he's just this really smelly guy who nobody likes despite him being an ideal soldier, with him only being turned down from Starscream's team because he leaks of radiation, actually I might just change their gender to female in my collection to make them standout from Sunstorm and be more like the Cyberverse character.

Colors are similar enough, just lacks banana brown.

Yeah, kinda makes me miss the randomized damage from Revenge of the Sith toys.

Normally I love seekers but this is atrocious. Like, seriously disappointing. Heck, I've been down with goofy geewun color schemes before, but this feels like a new low. Almost totally monochrome, with the same battle damage, all with the same constipated expression... and Hasbro probably wants $100+ for it. If I ever find him at a decent price, Redwing will likely be my only Siegeker, and that's a-ok. It looks like a solid mold, even though these decoes are bad.
I'm honestly more hyped for partsforming powerdashers than the all-voyager seeker armada; what a world we live in!

Or better yet, use two different tones of each color to break things up just a bit. It can look really cool when done right.

I think doing the differently-colored outer chest and shoulder (faux) intakes would be more Seeker-y

After the great job they did with red wing and skywarp’s paint jobs, these do come off as a bit bland... the packaging too... maybe it needs a giant flap over the front with some nice artwork.

I do however thoroughly recommend anyone who hasn’t picked up a version of this mould to do so. I have starscream, and in spite of his chest popping off, he’s probably my fave figure thus far. G1 robot accuracy, a more cybertronian alt mode than most other figures, great posability and articulation. And the chest issue seems to have been remedied in other iterations.

Still waiting for Sunstorm

I definitely understand the "boring" complaints, but I personally kinda love the bright monochromatic color schemes, it's silly in a good way and they look like they'll pop on the shelf.

Voyager Sized Keshi figures/decoys

I think the amount of 'detailing' on the wings is more noticable with these bright colors in that the figures are missing the defining decepticon symbols on the wings in robot mode. So the G1ness color scheme isn't really the problem, it's the lack of G1ness.

I need to pick up starscream and see if I like him before thinking about getting the others.

Edit:
Whilst redwing hides the no faction logos pretty well in robot mode, his bright red plastic enhances the visible screw syndrome on his inner legs. the bright colors on these will really make these look like KOs :/ and its enough for me to skip Starscream and just use the Cybertron figures. Fingers crossed the line after siege shows some improvements.

I hope that if they make him that they now have a good reason to give him an actual orange color scheme, like a more dark creamsicle color.

Besides what's already revealed and the Coneheads (The latter with hopefully optional cone heads), the only Seekers I really want out of mold is Sunstorm and Slipstream/G2Ramjet, anything else would be a nice bonus.

leokearon wrote:Still waiting for Sunstorm

I have a feeling that a Sunstorm would come in another 3 pack with Hotlink and Bitstream.

If these had actual colour breakup (biceps and thighs in silver maybe?) or otherwise took more liberties with the absurdly bland cartoon decos ala the MPs or Classics Acid Storm, then I'd be on board. As is they look...well, terrible.

Ah man how did I forget about those guys?

Add those two to the want list, their color schemes would be much appreciated to have. (Nacelle would be cool as well bit I'd rather have him as a remold of Thrust if he's ever made.)

He is exclusive to target in the US only. Canada will have its own exclusive channel.

I wish that people wouldn't buy items like that (blatantly stolen from the factory).
sad one upmanship between collectors unfortunately doesn't help.

Just wait and save that extra $100 for your family, a charity or more toys


Like another poster i hope that Nacelle is given the hybrid starscream/thrust treatment

well, at least they'd be easy to clean the battle damage off without a bunch of paint decos getting in the way

I saw it coming and kept the receipts

It was my "sure thing easy layup prediction" here: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... axy/42824/ Everything about it fits Siege. Won't be surprised at all to see Nightbird, Autobot X, Devcon, etc as we continue through WFC.

So, the "Battle Damage" apps have moved over to the exterior packaging now? That box looks ROUGH!!

BUT!! This set is exactly what I wanted! I want all three of those bots (the Rainmakers), I could throw them on the G1 Season 1 Decepticon shelf with Siege Refraktor and consider that shelf done. And I can't believe it. Holy cats. The days are numbered!
