Why do the Seekers look alike? [Guest Starring Comodin Cam & Last Prime Speculator]

Today we take a look at the various different Decepticon jets known collectively as the Seekers. Why do they all share a similar construction? Also we have a guest appearance by Comodin Cam and Last Prime Speculator!

If you pause slowly and repeatedly during the battle of Unicron and the decepticons, some of the jets are are in other colors and when Unicron eats some of the Decepticon jets, he actually destroys 4 of them and two are in Ramjet colors, suggesting that it was an animation mistake and they were just unnamed seekers.

[@hobgib9741]

I believe that Slipstream is Starscream's logical personality, how else would she come to the realization that Starscream's Armada is core aspects of his personality, or how she and the other clones betrayed Starscream by joining Megatron after seeing how easily defeated Starscream was, and how she told Megatron's army to aim for Omega Supreme's legs after seeing that they were his weak spot. Rodimus Primal, I love your videos and how you obviously tell you put so much effort into them! You are AMAZING! I too believe it was a foolish idea to call an obvious Starscream decepticon model and call it Blitzwing instead of Starscream. The reason the film director did it is because he did not want the same cast of transformers from Michael Bay's movies and instead use new transformers, but call Starscream Blitzwing really?! I hope you enjoy the film and till' all are one!

[@Barbariandisks]

Slipstream is starscream's feminine side

Could've at least had Blitzwing also turn into a tank. Then we could let it slide. Or better yet, make it Jetfire.

[@klaykid117]

I like the theory that the female starscream is starscream's self-loathing That's why she always seems to hold this anger towards starscream and why she's so different because she intentionally made herself as different as she could from starscream by giving her self a different voice. Also, for the bumblebee movie, it actually makes sense that it's it'snot starscream because fans would be really mad if they killed star scream at the end of the movie without even a single attempt to betray Megatron 😂🤣

[@lel0uchvibritannia981]

I believe the decepticon seekers are a symbol to show their faction is built for war, which is why they have fighter jet modes, and it was shown in the g1 cartoon that the decepticons were originally built specifically for war by the quintessons. As for the Starscream/blitzwing confusion, I think there may have been a confusion when researching Transformers during production. They probably thought all seekers(minus the Coneheads) have the same head shape. That’s the only the explanation I can think of

[@RodimusPrimal]

Actually it has to do with the original intention of this being a prequel to the Bay films so they made the jet someone else. Unless he is a Triple Changer like he should be.

From the toy perspective for sure what better way to recycle the same molds.

If they a going with Blitzwing I do hope we will see his three forms. It is kinda eh when the colors say Starscream but its like they haven't used different color schemes on characters anyway. I do think it is very cool to see Starscream finally get a release with his Cybertonian alt mode hope they do the same for Thuindercracker and Skywarp. Honestly it would be cool if they gave Wheeljack, Bumblebee, and Jazz in their Cybertronian alt modes as well.

His name is pronounced Nay Cell It is the same name used for the Star Trek: The Next Generation engine components that the warp special effect comes from. Love the video series and I am shocked by how many seekers were in the show. Also the Insecticons were in the beginning of Season 4 Part 1 of "The Rebirth" trilogy. They are eating the door to the Autobots base and get a good couple of minutes of screen time. You have even used the clip a bunch of times. So not all of the Insecticons were reformatted by Unicron. Also would love a TF discussion about the 2 Kid Stuff See & Read Transformers tapes that were produced. Both volumes are on KZbin and the 2nd one is the only media appearance in the 80's of Venom that I can find.

[@RodimusPrimal]

Thanks for the help in pronunciation. Are you referring to the Decepticons attacking Autobot City in Five Faces of Darkness?

That Bumblebee trailer had so much going for it, and even if they give that Starscream-lookin' jet a third tank mode, just freakin' LOOK at him.

One of my biggest complaints about G1 (and keep in mind that G1 is the only franchise I really care about) is that Starscream's backstory involved him and Skyfire being scientists, but for some reason is presented as completely dim-witted from that point on. I always rather liked the idea, and played with my toys accordingly, that Starscream was low-key brilliant and acted otherwise to hide it until the time was right.

Travis Knight: "That's not Starscream." Me: 😲Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

[@InvaderNaj]

i mean its either this or starscream just exploding

[@wrestlingfan3117]

Invader Naj true. Still should have been called Ramjet

[@jakeproven5931]

I believe bumblebee is a reboot because in the trailer the transformers on cybertron resemble their G1 selves but in the 2007 movie before they got to earth they looked totally different and they spoke cybertronian in the first film before getting to earth and in bumblebee they are speaking perfect English on cybertron Reboot alert reboot alert

[@megatron2171]

I would like to believe that but its like they insisting that this is a prequel

[@jakeproven5931]

DEATHSTROKE yeah there’s sector 7 but anything can be a reboot I in the trailer unlike the bay films it seems to have heart to the point where honestly it’s not suggesting a prequel it’s suggesting a reboot

[@GoldenfoxxPrime]

I think what they're going for is a soft reboot. If things don't work out, call it a prequel, but the designs bring in moviegoers and fans after the debacle that was Last Knight, venture off into its own thing. Considering how many problems I have with the Bayverse, I'm happy to let them do just that. At least Soundwave and Shockwave look like Soundwave and Shockwave this time, so that gives me hope I never expected to have when this film was first announced.

[@megatron2171]

@@jakeproven5931 screw it yeah this is a reboot. Travis knight should stop saying that this movie is still in bayverse cuz if this connect with last knight and 2007 transformers this is too weird

[@TFfangeek]

THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE VIDEO RODIMUSPRIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always believed that Sunstorm and Nova Storm were separate characters, and your video confirms it. :D Great look at the Decepticon Jets, it was a real thrill seeker. ;D

[@focusflute]

Great discussion as always! Awesome to see Slipstream and Sunstorm along side the original trio of seekers in the Transformers Trading Card Game!

[@joeyderrico8134]

I believe you are mispronouncing Nacelle. I believe (educated guess) It would be pronounced like Warp nacelle in Star Trek. Looking forward to the discussion on G1 Triple Changers. I loved Blitzwing. In G1, I thought he was the Deception with the most common sense. One of the few toys (Though missing limbs and his turret). Though based on the little footage from trailers I'm not happy that he has Starscream's Red. Still hoping this will reboot the live action transformers to a new universe and we can get rid of the damn Bayverse

[@MissionOffRoad]

I'm addicted to your channel. I grew up in the 80s and Transformers was everything. Please consider doing a video on the artwork of Transformers from the toy art cards to the comics. The various animation art can also be a video discussion, "for another day". Thanks for the great channel!

[@MrFedoraFilm]

Ever since Transformers Animated, like the idea of the Seekers like Thundercracker, Skywarp, Ramjet and other from the Transformers franchise that share Starscream's body type being his clones.

[@PrimusProductions]

6:03 this Trekkie has got you covered Na sell

[@RodimusPrimal]

Thanks, though I'm sure Star Trek fans like to be called Trekkers.

[@ferrousidaho1875]

Great history lesson. Seems we have to keep evolving our understanding of Transformers as new writers and directors take inspiration from the past and rewrite it...a lot. Still not as bad as the unnamable one.

Nice video man, love the conversation. I love seekers, I love army builders (the dudes that can die, because they have no personality) I LOVE Bumblebee (movie) and really hope it does well. They didn't plan for the Cybertron part (Hasbro) I think because there aren't any toys of Cybertron. Cool video

[@OfficialMrShade]

Another great video. I always wondered what have happened if Galvatron never came into existence and Starscream stayed leader. But that is a discussion for another day.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

Lol... it’s *N-O-T* Blitzwing! Lol. Great video gentlemen.

[@RMSAquitaniafan55]

As everyone (who has watched g1) knows, the seekers are the first Decepticons to appear on a television, but if you look closely, Thundercracker is the first of the 3 to appear, making him the first ever Decepticon to appear in a show/movie that bears the name "Transformers" (I'm not sure if the comics came first, which is why I have decided to confuse readers by at least putting a point out

Dude great videos man. As an 80s baby and huge transformers fan all this mythology is amazing best channel for information about transformers on KZbin

[@omegamaximus1727]

Do you want to know why the Decepticon Jet is called Blitzwing instead of Starscream in the new Bumblebee Movie? Because Hasbro wants to sell more toys.

[@RodimusPrimal]

That's always the reason for any character.

[@transformersrepublic5878]

Nah it’s because Micheal Bay is the producer

[@ThePathStrider]

I don't care what they say, that wasn't Blitzwing. Blitzwing isn't a seeker, he is a triple changer, and Bumblebee would not be able to kill him so easily. Oh, sorry, Spoiler Alert.

[@dugestyle78]

Nah-cell-ee? Well some one obviously isn’t a Star Trek fan. Lol
