Impossible Toys have updated their homepage with some early CGI renders showing a new project; a Seeker-styled robot with the Generation 1 More than Meets the Eye Part 1 Cybertronian Tetrajet alternate mode. The render does not give away much in terms of how these pyramid fighters will transform, other than the fact that we are probably looking at a design that makes use of a lot of panels if those wings are anything to go by.

Has anyone done a gallery of these guys comparing them to the Cybertron Voyager Starscream mold? Or maybe the Universe Voyager Dirge recolor of it?

Man, that's sad they're closing up shop this year. I wish I had more money to help them out now.
BlackTracks
Love these!
Scaleface
SG Starscream was one though, and very expensive!

Except that Skyfire wasn't a Tetrajet
Scaleface
You know I'd have been muh more likely to order one if they made it in these colors…

…it's Saturday. Where the teasers be at yo!?
CodeXCDM
Hearing your involvement makes the project more interesting…
Any chance you can give a rough size for them? Hopefully around Voyager scale… say areound the size of the KM Seekers even… That'd be great.
Can't wait to see previews this weekend!

As long as they don't flop/break/are not poorly painted, we should be good.

I want these tetra jets bad. I have most of Impossible Toy's figures. The only one I dont like is Valkyrie. They dropped the ball on her. Alicon was a great comeback figure for them. Everything I wanted in a G1 toy and he has really great articulation. My one hope with the tetra jets is that they be voyager size.

From someone that owns 5 of their products i will say that Impossible toys is probably the worst 3rd party company in terms of quality and pricing. They only exist b/c they were on of the first. With everything coming out now i dont see how they can complete. Just can't get excited from anything they put out anymore.
Scaleface
I have long hoped for a good Voyager sized Seeker mold.

Yes, the Classics Seekers are due for an overhaul and new release. They lack height and articulation.
Thanks for the info Venksta, you should put some effort into talking Impossible Toys into upsizing these figures and releasing them in yellow, green and blue. Maybe they'd look good with Quakewave.

Taller is better, the classic Seeker is a bit too small for me.
Venksta
I never saw it the 3packs or anything.
The Tetra Seekers are closer to classics styling in robot mode. Off the bat, it has more articulation than the classics seekers. It features double jointed elbows and knees. Alicon was designed to be very G1, since there wasn't a G1 toy of it. I feel most G1 fans and classics fans will be happy with the Tetra Seeker design, as the jet mode is very close to the cartoon, and the robot mode looks like the classic seeker look, while being able to transform into the tetra jet. The robot mode is around the same height as the classics seekers, maybe a bit taller. Its been a few years since it was designed.
Hicks_Royel
I'm probably wrong but I know the Alicons have a heavy G1 influence in their design. Very primitive in feel and look. Which was fine since they were a primitive form of TF. Though the hollow tail is horrible. I think he's wanting to know if these will have a more Classics/Generations feel to them.

Slightly off topic, but did Impossible Toys ever make a cheaper 2nd run of Alicons (and discounted 2 and 3 packs for army builders) during the holidays as stated on their website?
Zambot
Very cool. I look forward to it. The Alicon is a ton of fun and really says alot about Impossible Toys moving forward. I wish them all the best!
Scaleface
I don't know how it's designed, but it is from the same company as Alicon, so I asked.
Venksta
What do you mean? Their totally different designs.
