Only 9? With rainmakers, clear versions, Shattered Glass, mid-warp Skywarp and Slipstream, I expected more. Anyway I'll be waiting on reviews. As pretty as it looks, the price is still too exorbitant for my taste.

The unpainted nosecones on these are bugging me, especially on the coneheads who have unpainted nosecones in jet mode, but black nose cones in bot mode. Any other memorable G1 Seekers to include? You forgot ghost Starscream, but that'll probably just be a variant. There's also another yellow Seeker that isn't Sunstorm (according to Hasbro themselves) and the blue Seeker you mentioned that go with Acid Storm to make up the Rainmakers. Emerje

Emerje Wait, Sunstorm and the yellow Rainamker are different characters? 1- Starscream 2- Skywarp 3- Thundercracker 4- Acid Storm 5- Sunstorm 6- Unnamed Blue Rainmaker 7- Dirge 8- Ramjet 9- Thrust Any other memorable G1 Seekers to include? 10-Ghost of Starscream I meant as separate characters and not variants of a character. Meaning excluding Ghost Starscream and Warping Skywarp.

Wait, Sunstorm and the yellow Rainamker are different characters? Yep, someone asked Hasbro during a Q&A last year and they said Sunstorm was not a Rainmaker, the yellow Rainmaker is someone else. Makes sense since Sunstorm is based on a dark yellow and white character while the yellow Rainmaker is all bright yellow. Hasbro already has the name "Solar Storm" registered and used it on the recent Grapple figure so that seems like a likely choice. Acid Storm, Solar Storm, and Wind Storm perhaps? Emerje

Yeah Sunstorm was based of that yellow Seeker (which was nameless) and the old E-hobby G1 exclusive was suppose to be that character but it ended up being orange instead of gold/yellow with the name Sunstorm. So initially it was based on that first ep. Seeker but morphed into it's own character separate from that Seeker. Then with the Dreamwave comic it solidified the Sunstorm character and look (orange and white).

I will take pictures for a quick review. It got diecast, few like Takara seekers version (front landing gear, etc...). Red paint is sequined and white basis plastic is... a little bit soft. (IMHO, need more thoughness). Btw, it's a collector figure, a beautifull production. Edit : white plastic is enough though... (I am tired)

Just got the first of the Igear MP Coneheads... and I'm very happy with it. Good - The toy is solid and very well build. The plastic does feel hollower in some parts compared to the MP Starscream, but as said, not fragile. With the Faith Leader I don't feel like touching it too much because of fear of brekage, but this one I can play with. - Communicators on the arms look cool (they show Starscream and Shockwave). - The new sliding mechanism that turns the hip kibble into leg mass is very well implemented. - The white doesn't look as bad as in the pics. A bid of panel lining would go great. - Feel like parts lock better than on MP SS and MP-03 So-so - Hip ratches tend to return to the "normal" position when posing if you only use one click. - Since the leg wings are heavy, it's difficult to balance (not a problem with the display stand). Bad - The face expression is a bit boring and small. Looks more drone-ish than of a character with a defined personality (Well, I don't actually remmeber the personalities of the coneheads... if they had any LOL, but they were more than the background drones).
