Description
(Page updated August 5th, 2013)Originally I thought about having the series start out on Earth and then eventually show this stuff on Cybertron as a flashback after the Autobots and humans first meet, but I felt that starting the comic off with the Transformers on Cybertron before coming to Earth would emphasize to the audience that this is the Transformers story, and they are the focus of the story with the humans being supporting cast and not the other way around. Plus, I figured it would be a nice throwback to the original cartoon which also started out on Cybertron before bringing the action to Earth.
The look of the Cybertronian forms of the Seekers is a fusion of elements of the YF-19 Alpha One from Macross Plus and a Core Fighter from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. Notice these Seekers are all a bluey-purple shade, this is the standard colour scheme for "generic" Seekers, and is a reference to the "Decepticon Air Warrior" from the Heroes of Cybertron exclusive toy set at the BotCon convention in 2003 (or whatever the convention was called at that time, I forget, don't yell at me, I'm fragile). "Named" Seekers (Like Starscream, Skywarp, etc) get their own individual colours. The "glowy" parts (more noticable on Bumblebee) are a nod to the Cybertronian forms in the War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games, but I opted the have the Autobots have blue glowy stuff, and the Decepticons to have red to match their eye colours and not their insignias (the original cartoon tended to be "Autobots = blue eyes, Decepticons = red eyes, which I will be "trying" to stick to as a little nostaligic nod to the original cartoon)
Also, pointing out Bumblebee's first day as an Autobot is to emphasize that in this series, Autobots and Decepticons are not races, but factions. There are in fact "neutral" or "civilian" Transformers on Cybertron in this series.

Thanks! The Earth modes are never as exciting as the Cybertron forms can be, but I hope everyone will like those too

YUSSS And expect to see some Earth jet Seekers with this generic colour scheme as well on Earth flying around with Starscream and the other named Seekers eventually as well

Bumblebee!
And I can see why you disliked getting rid of the Seekers' Cybertronian forms. DX They're so awesome!

We will see them again soon enough But on the bright side, I'm happy with the earth jet forms after a few tweaks so it's all good

And it's still funny that Starscream and Skyfire had a baby. XD
