They Call Him the Seeker



Recently picked up the Transformers Classics Ramjet figure. This is the first Decepticon jet/Seeker I have picked up from this line.



Very reminiscent of the original G1 Ramjet from the 80's, with his classic cone head and all. This figure has much better articulation than the original, and the transformation is pretty easy, and loads of fun. Ramjet looks great in both robot form and alternate jet mode.



So far Hasbro has released 3 of the 6 original Seekers. Starscream, Ramjet, and Skywarp (Who is available in a Target exclusive 2 pack with Ultra Magnus). No word on whether the other 3 will be released or not, only time will tell, and time is what it is going to take. Hasbro has put the Classics line on hold while they focus on toys for the upcoming Transformers film. It is possible Classics won't return, and that would be a real shame, because in my opinion, other than the re-issues, these are the best Transformers Hasbro has put out since the originals.



As I stated in my Grimlock VS Soundwave blog, the Transformers Classics line, is one of the lines that has gotten me into collecting modern Transformers products, so expect to see more of them show up here.
