When the 3rd party legends class figure looks better than the official masterpiece you know you're doing something wrong. Step tf up and update starscream, takara.
I feel like if they blew these up to Voyager scale it would be a great substitute for the Earthrise figures. The alt modes and robot modes look better and they have better articulation.
I like these seekers, they are very well engineered, sculpted and painted, NA nailed the looks in both modes. I haven't bought them yet but as soon as I have some money available I will. Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.
I have Starscream and have the same issues, a little back heavy and legs a little loose due to the ab crunch. That said, you can still get him into a ton of dynamic poses and the sculpt is nothing short of fantastic to me. Not sure I have ever seen die cast on a Legends figure but there it is with their feet and thrusters. I too am not a big fan of Skywarp's agape mouth but otherwise I plan on picking him and TC up at some point because I am still pretty impressed by Starscream.
You can also plug the Megatron into the bottom of the jet via the back of the scope into the curvature of the arm so it will sit up under the body kind of how it looked in the show.
I can assume the next few seekers are Sunstorm, Hotlink, Bitstream, Acid Storm, and Redwing if they'll be released to complete the space bridge with 11 seekers.
They already announced Acid, Sun and Hotlink. But also a Transparent Starscream with coronation set, which is the only way to get those accessories and really annoys me since I want them.
Love the bot modes, don't like how there are no flaps on the wings in alt mode... fighter jet nerd... I guess these guys were never super accurate in the cartoon anyway.
The legs as far as I know, came as a bonus with Thundercracker only if you ordered all three of the individual bot releases, not the three pack. That might vary from store to store, you can also buy them separately (at least from Show Z,) and they do really improve the look of the bot mode hips and pelvis area.
Starscream is the only seeker whose special ability is the Null Ray... Bobby keeps trolling his watchers by calling all of them 'null rays'. Dang it, Bobbeh
I got this Starscream a day ago and while I really like the figure, within 3 transformations of the figure I'm already having paint scrape off the chest from having to rotate the 2 sides of the chest against each other under the cockpit. I don't see any way to avoid this aside from just not transforming it.
I just got mine which was the original and it was also loose in legs and the an crunch. The weight of the die cast really pulls at it. I wish they put a tab at the Ab crunch so it can hold.
@@CardboardBots Daimchoc on Facebook has the pictures of about 6 others. I know there is a gold star scream & clear starscream, acid Storm, sunstorm, bitstream, and I think a king starscream. I'm not sure if any others have been revealed
@@tferno1productions216 This seems right, worth noting they have 10 figures already announced or released for this mold. *Edit, 11, I forgot about the gold SS, so if they do the new red seeker that is 12.
I'm not a FT fanboy, but I do think they make a Sideshow quality figure. When are they just going to say fuck it and make the seekers? Seriously, they charge a hefty price for most figures, but in the sake of doing business, and making money, someone over at FT needs to just say "we're going to make every single friggin character". If they commit to doing it, they'll have a constant customer...unless Zeta does it first.
@Shield Liger You get what you pay for and all that. A $20 Casio watch is a lot different than a Rolex, it is just a matter of personal opinion what one is willing to pay and for what.
I'm a bit iffy on where the wings end up in robot mode; reminds me of how Godbomber forms the wings on the Takara Transformers Legends God Ginrai...those wings are sitting up WAY too high. _looks at Generations Thundercracker, the Classics Seeker mold...then looks at pics of the MP11 mold...then pics of the Maketoys Seeker mold_ ...yup, those wings are *entirely* too high up on the robot mode of these guys. A shame...NewAge killed it with their "Agamenmnon" Megatron and their Coneheads. Guess I'll see what Magic Square did for their Seekers.

Good news
Good news ever heard of defamation space starscream
Skywarp got that "I can't believe he picked me to do the review" face.
I wish sw would have came with a static face like ss and tc

Agreed 100%
Gotta drop those wings down in bot mode mack.

Man these videos make me want to start a legends scale collection
I am anxiously awaiting the new chug scale versions of these. They will make infinite bank.
Seekers came before the Coneheads chronology speaking. And yes there are more repaints coming and ghost starscream too. Just check out Show Z Store
I think he just means he didn't know which of the videos he would post first, since he reviewed each set at the same time, just to clarify.
Can’t wait to watch the video on scale coming up. Great video man.

These are just precious! Gonna put them on my list!

@@g.b.f9859 so rare chance left of Red and Bits? I also think that one last void is for Slipstream.

They also improve the aesthetic of Agamemnon when posing him.
Newage is KILLING IT
Also I didn't get the new Megs legs. So I guess only specific retailers got them.
The wings can be positioned lower in bot mode.
How do they scale with Bandai Machine ROBO 🤖?
Sjit i really love these seekers. I got the starscream, and i am really trying not to buy the other 5, as i don t do legends 😑🙈
Starscream is the only seeker whose special ability is the Null Ray...

All look like null rays to me too. lol
Seekers, seekers everywhere!

what are the megatron legs for? is it a build a figure gimmick? and with who is the rest of him going to be coming with?
They're replacement legs for newage's first Megatron, they make him less bulky at the waist than the original ones.
these are amazing
My starscream hips/legs were exactly the same as this copy you/Robert have
Mine were not, but I also bought the first edition release, before they did the 3 pack so not sure if any of that matters? Or if I just got lucky.
I just got mine which was the original and it was also loose in legs and the an crunch. The weight of the die cast really pulls at it. I wish they put a tab at the Ab crunch so it can hold.
Sure those things look nice, BUT $50 FOR LEGENDS CLASS FIGURES?!?! I don’t care how clever the engineering is, that’s frickin nuts!
Can we pleeeaaassee see the 6 spacebridge parts all together? I gotta knows how many you'd need XD
I think 12-13 are needed. Check daimchoc on fb. He has pictures of the reveals of about 6 others
I think that it’s more than six.

$50 each. I have to rethink that. They are awesome though
They are worth it. For what they accomplish and what all they come with they are a nice investment
@Shield Liger because of their scale?
@Shield Liger You get what you pay for and all that. A $20 Casio watch is a lot different than a Rolex, it is just a matter of personal opinion what one is willing to pay and for what.
I don’t think NA is following DX9’s scale. NA Megatron is the same size as MS Optimus, taller than DX9 Optimus.

John Evans he missed a step. The wings can be rotated lower in the back.
Well of course you would recommend a set of Seekers. You're always seeking out more knowledge.
Wings and waste not transformed correctly
everyone is having fun at this seeker party so far.... then in comes magic square...
Magic Square Seekers are absolute trash.
These are more cartoon accurate and don't have any kibble like the Magic Square
flip flop🦛 🤣
Wuhan
5:40 WHY DOES THIS KEEP FUCKING HAPPENING TO SKYWARP!!? WHY HIM SPECIFICALLY!?
