I absolutely love these, and I know very little about Transformers. I know I had Dirge as a kid and would kill a small country for the beautiful homage you made! I have what is probably a stupid sounding question to TF fans: why are they called Seekers? I've heard it for years, but never thought to ask.

I believe they are called Seekers because they Seek and Destroy! :D

I'll have to look up Icestorm, I was wondering if there were more named seekers. I am not big transformer collector mainly Constructicons, and individual bots that interest me.

I have Skywarp and Thundercracker fiinished as well as Thrust and Sunstorm under way.
Dirge and Ramjet will be the difficult ones for me I think.
You can find my Thundercracker pics here:

I didn't have time to get my Skywarp shot before I had to deploy.

Yeah not sure what I would have done for Ramjet if I didn't have a Hurricane to tear apart.

I may have to borrow your idea for that if I can come up with something myself.
Oh, and I am using Speedocub's Thrust recipe.
Some how I don't think Speedocub and thrust should be used in the same sentence.

Thanks for remembering Icestorm I really like the way this one turned out and it makes 3 even squads of 3.
Besides stickers and repainting the tires Icestorm is done, did the stripes and the silver tonight.(added pic to the first post)

This made me laugh with joy. I love the SDCC Starscream. But the other paint schemes really work with this mold. Makes me wish I picked up an army of Skystrikers to make my own seekers now!
Excellent work!

Awesome job! You still need to make Ice Storm to have all 9.

Sorry if these got asked/answered already:
did you use the skywarp sticker set for Sunstorm?
What did you do with the canopies to get them those colors?
Anyway - thanks for sharing these - they look great! I'm in-progress on Skywarp and Thundercracker myself along with an A-10 Powerglide!
I think the only other one that I *might* do is Sunstorm.

Sunstorm and Acidstorm use a mix of stickers from Skywarp and Starscream,(I altrnated which I pulled from for beter contrast) I plan to use a Thundercracker set on Icestorm.
As for the canopies see the comments on my facebook page pics for exact details. I used Transparent paint, and Mirrored paint.

I did, Icestorm is in the group shot on the wall and in a pic solo.
I just can't change the thread name to all 9 Skystriker Seekers.
