I get it and I feel it too. There was something really ingenius about that initial intuitive mold, especially when comparing to everything out at the same time, plus it feels really quality. But Earthrise is the mold in the way I always wanted. As Nemesis Maximo said, it's what we deserved back in 2006 (especially in the height department since even back in 2006, the seekers should have been voyagers to go with Prime and Megatron). So I basically come to the toy with that approach. It has what I initially love and more.

Ha, I like your passion, and glad you could join us. Now that you are here, could you let us know which other toys, aside from the G1 toy, would be in your top 5?

The Studio Series Voyager turned into a surprise hit for me, never ever ever expected to like it as much as I did. The transformation is so fun and satisfying, everything unfolds and turns insideout to make the robot and it all holds together SOLIDLY!
Same here, I did not expect to like it that much. A really great toy, thanks for joining in on the discussion!

As a TC and SW fan, I rarely if ever go for Star Scream, and tend to wait for the inevitable repaints. The only 2 actual Stascreams I own are 2007 Movie, and Prime SS.
I do own G1 TC, Armada TC, Cybertron TC, Titanium TC, Legends TC, "Cybertron" Dirge, Classics SW, the ER TC & SW set.
You bring up a really good idea, how different would this list be if we were talking about a different seeker. I had written a best seeker molds list once and the movie toys were not there because Starscream was a singular character in that body type. Would earthrise still be number 1? Would the MPs actually show up? Not sure. Woudl it change were it a top 5 Dirge list vs a top 5 Skywarp list? Does the idea that the toy must represent a fictional character have any sway? Like how the Prime seeker mold is one of the best, and even though the Thundercracker version is a retool, thus differentiating from Starscream, does the fact that there isn't Prime Thundercracker in the fiction mean he shouldn't count ?
