Fan-term for the six Decep jets (Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge and Thrust).

It's derived from the term "Hunter-seeker jets" from the comic story "The Smelting Pool". Who, logically, bore absolutely no relation to the six who the term is applied to.

Eh, such is life.

A seeker is someone who looks for something. Are you seeking something right now? What do you seek? Have you seeked before?

It most commonly refers to those six, however, there were supposed to be many more of them on cybertron.

Thanks everyone, even Mirage.

Mirage, I seek knowledge. Up until about 2 minutes ago, I sought the meaning of the word "seeker" within the Transformer Universe. Thanks for caring :-)
