Yup, after what, the Classics/ Generations era ones, the Combiner Wars Legends
and Leader class versions, the Siege Tetrajets and now Siege Earthrise versions, I've had my fill of the Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker Seekers. I'd love to see the Coneheads get some love. Maybe they'll turn up in whatever comes after Earthrise.
All three of the Coneheads are featured prominently on Sky Lynx's package, so i think it's a safe bet we see them in Earthrise itself. Though that probably means one main-line release and two hard to find store exclusives like they did for the '84 trio. We haven't seen a Conehead since, what, 2010? So they're definitely due.
The most exciting thing about the Siege seekers was Redwing, tbh. It's a shame he was so hard to get.

Honestly, I was tired of the endless stream of the Seeker trio, but now that I have Earthrise Starscream, who fills me with seratonin when I look at him, I realize that actually I was just a big dummy for buying all the prior versions of the three I’ve been suckered into over the years (
well, the FoC ones are still solid)
I forgot the FoC seekers even existed. I know I have Starscream around somewhere because his guns are in the random props box in my desk. I definitely liked him better than Siege Starscream when it comes to a Cybertronian seeker body.
I (eventually) got the whole set of Classics Seekers, so I had not real desire to army-build the other bodies. I got FoC Starscream and Legends Skywarp because they looked cool, but I think that's it for me and Seekers in the last decade. And I still feel burned out on the main trio!

because these are the Seekers I’ve been wanting this whole time. A good robot that turns into a good fighter jet, in a moderate-complexity conversion. No gimmicks, no frills, bells, or whistles. Just well made action figures of my beloved Starscream, my also beloved Thundercracker, and the purple one
I don't even disagree! The Earthrise body looks exactly like how I see the Seekers in my head and fixes most of what I didn't like about the old Classics body. I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I finally get one. It's just a bit tough to get excited about these guys when we see them so often.
You know what WOULD be exciting, though? The radioactive Trump-coloured dude in your avatar. I'd absolutely love to get an Earthrise Sunstorm. He could get into pose-offs with TR Sentinel Prime, and no one would dare to enter the room without sunglasses!
