Third party group, Igear, has updated their website with some brand new images of their upcoming PP03S Storm figure (Aka Not-Sunstorm). Funny enough, this character is a clone of Starscream. The Figure should fill a hole in your Masterpiece Seeker collection quite nicely.
Take a look at all the new pictures after the jump!

He looks bland. Like a KO.

wait!!!!….where did u order current from

Just saw the images for Current, hope his head stays blue. Glad I've already preordered this one. And the modifications to the legs make them just different enough to stand out from the official MP Seekers. With these two and the green MP Starscream, I'll have suitable "Storm" seeker trio. Add those to the Coneheads, the other MP Trio and my fleet of Wal-Mart Skywarp drones and my Decepticons pretty much own the MP air.
I am also excited to see that the forearms still appear to have the comm sets in them. Maybe we'll get stickers of Soundwave and Current stuck in there.

Yea I love it, the quality on Ramjet was rather good. I don't really care who actually makes them as long as they get into my collection. If Hasbro/Takara doesn't want to do the obvious repaints, then I'll happily take the 3rd party version. Now bring on Black Starscream and G2 Ramjet!
I dunno about this guy, but Ramjet came with like 4-5 sticker sheets to put on him that weren't really shown in the pics that iGear put up. I'm willing to bet that Sunstorm will also come with a butt-ton of stickers.
Same here. MPs are a bit on the expensive side, but since I don't have much interest in the movie line I've got the extra money to be ordering these right now. So far all 4 have been paid for, saving up for the next re-paint.

Yeah icestorm is what the blue seeker has been called by fans. Out of the three acid storm was the only one that was officaly named.
frenzyrumble
hmmm, always thought Ice Storm was a fan-made character. Least that's what google's confirming.

^^^^^negative..these are a moded ver of the takara mp seekers(starscream/thundercracker and skywarp)..igear was and is know.. be it infamously for borrowing others designs and making it their own or downsizing it to to another scale..some call it stealing others dont have a prob w/it ..as of late they have been designing original molds of some of the G1 cast that are showing promise and the will to come up with their own creative designs..igear rocks look into their stuff..

Are these original molds? Can someone explain the igear line? I been away from collecting.

Not-storm is a definite get.
The Coneheads and Current…I'm having trouble pulling that trigger. I like Seekers, but for that price, to be collecting them concurrently in two different scales, that takes a helluva lot more than "like".

Man I was happy with my pre-order for this guy before, now I'm ecstatic!! ^_^
I hope they plan to do several recolors of this group – the 'main' triad if nothing else. As a huge Seekerfan, I will buy up seekers by the ton^^

I'm very tempted by Sunstorm but because of the scale I have going with my display it'd mean I'd end up getting the Coneheads and the original 3 Seekers as well so they all matched.
Fortunately the legit Henkei Seekers & Ramjet still go for decent prices on ebay despite the KO's and I can also raise addtional funds by selling some Doctor Who stuff….I think I have a plan!

I plan on all 4, they do Thundercracker I am on it as well, I just can't do $300+ for Thundercracker

Igear seekers are totally awesome! They're so ease to the eyes than those hip kibble versions, LOL. Darn it, if only I have the space and finance, then I'll get them all.
Raiju
I thought iGear's Current was Ice Storm?
Looks neat but doesn't really interest me. If I had to choose I'd take the Coneheads over the Rainmakers. At least the Coneheads have interesting new molding.

I'm glad they fix the rib section it was white before and is now red.
dragon
yeah mp are expensive & massive some what big classics i take any day hasbro or takara sunstorm classic version or any other repaints in classic size
Burnout
Now if only they made Acid Storm and Ice storm. This is incentive for me to start trying to track down the MP's
DPrime
I feel the same way. Great for the hard-core Seeker fans though!
CVprowl
i think it looks great. im not going after ALL the seekers in masterpiece size though. thats a bit much. skywarp, starscream, and thundercracker is where id draw the line.
id get a classics size sunstorm though, hasbro???
