Sunstar's Seeker Sanctuary

The Nemesis Docking Tower

Welcome to Sunstar's Seeker Sanctuary
We are a fair bit bigger!

Sunstar's Seeker Sanctuary is a website that is primarily focused on Starscream, the Seekers and the Decepticon faction. We are a collector's archive of Starscream figures, statues and toys new and old. Within these pages you will find the Starscream Generations write ups, toy reviews, strange or odd toys and the Starscream's Shrine Collection which contains over fifty examples of Starscream figures to date. This collection is updated frequently and has been split to include the new Movie Vault, which is an archive of the 2007 movie Starscream figures.

You will also find various forms of fan art, fan fictions and archives of strange or odd items as well as the Sunstar's Seeker Sanctuary Forum.

We at Sunstar's Seeker Sanctuary invite you to explore and check back frequently for more news and updates.

If you wish to carry on to the Control Room, which is our site map.

So to celebrate the King of Seekers, I shall show off a picture of the five King Starscream figures I have.

Subject: The love of Thundercracker

A short note to let those of you know that there is a Henkei (Classics) Thundercracker being released in japan at Ganbo-store.com. This figure is of a limited release, not sure if it's time or if it's limited numbers, so, if you are looking for a classics-type Thundercracker to complete your Generation one trio, it'll be out and about around September. Please note that the Ganbo-store.com does not ship internationally. So you'll have to find a Japanese contact, go to fan to fan or watch on Ebay. I do not think these figures will go nearly as high as the botcon figures did.

Also coming soon, when is beyond me... is a trio of the Mini Seeker figures that have been on ebay for the past while. These are, although I am not 100% sure very similar in style to the old generation one transformers, with dicast bodies and plastic wings. They are somewhere between the size of the original Seeker Jets and the WST type jets. So I am looking forward to these cute additions.

Check out Target for Deep Space Starscream. He is set to be released 6/22 and his DPCI is number 087-06-0707. I would like this figure myself, so let me know if you can find one.

And a final note:

The email on the footer of the page will be changed to my new address. I have been having chronic problems with my ISP, Bell Canada Sympatico, and I am quite honestly, fed up with their antics. I will be changing isp at some point in the next month. However, this will not affect my website as it is hosted via NRSmedia

So that is it for now,

Subject: ALL HAIL STARSCREAM!

All hail the King of Seekers, the Lord of the Skies, the Leader of the Decepticons and Emperor of Cybertron. Bow before Starscream, ruler of all.

Perhaps that is too, how can I say, over written? But the die hard fans of Starscream can wish.

When it rains it pours and Starscream almost feels like the overlord of Cybertron. It's just that sort of a week. But since it's a King Starscream type of Week, I may extend it into a King Starscream sort of month and a half. At least until I find some other fascinating theme.

The lord of Seekers has insisted I go to Transformerscon, or Tfcon now, this summer. I shall see about that.

So to celebrate the King of Seekers, I shall show off a picture of the five King Starscream figures I have.

In Starscream's Shrine

Well, for the first time in a while, I got lots of goodies to show off.. Some I had for a while, but I only just got the pics taken. I realise that I am going to have to split apart the pages of the shrine into more manageable pieces. I also realise that for some reason Firefox does not like using my interpage targets. I understand one of my errors and I am working to rectify it, but why it is not doing it for the fixed stuff is a bit beyond me.

Starscream's Coronation Bust. Scroll down to the busts and check him out. He's really pretty and is 475 of 600 busts.

Revoltech Starscream. Great figure to use as an artists Mannequin.

Henkei Starscream. Generation One goodness, in a classic mold. Great colours and great all around figure.

Starscream Coronation Gear. High time that Starscream got his crown and his cape. This was a sort of booster pack that is sold on a number of online toy stores. "Screamer's Coronation Set". True his coronation lasted all of twenty seconds and he died a horrific death, but it's still perhaps one of his most famous scenes. Have MP-03 in whatever form, this is a MUST have.

Botcon Shattered Glass Starscream. A reluctant warrior, gentle scientist and loyal to his leader, Megatron. This Starscream looks more like, and sounds like, the original Generation One Jetfire/Skyfire Character. I am still in awe of this particular mold. I do love the fact it is so articulate.

In Artworks

While fiddling with that, I got this fun urge to do up an All Hail Starscream poster. This "poster" is based off the IDW comics art of the All Hail Megatron series. It is done in a few colours and in a sort of WWI and WWII style propaganda format.

This is for my website, its a banner based on the fic I did recently called The Fugitive. I drew this quickly and did the rest in photoshop using various brushes, shapes and whatnot. My site banner will be trimmed down to best fit the usual slot, but this is looking nice on its own. I am trying to put in the elements I liked about the fic, try to get the sort of scene I had in mind.

Anyway, thought I'd share. I'm happy again I got a camera that works-for the time being.

In Fictions

Its been a horrible long while, like last year was my last update of this fic. Antilla nearly draws to a close with the seventh chapter WD 40. If there is any major issue with this fic, please email me and let me know. If it's grammar or whatnot, email me the line the problem is in, and the proper correction. THANKS!

In Closing

A couple notes here about SHTML aspect of this site. I am no longer supporting it. I will no longer be making an SHTML copy of the site. It is too much effort and a waste of time for something that most likely is not going to be viewed. I apologise to anyone who uses it, but this is the end plan for SHTML. I was going to phase it out, and now it shall be.

Anyway, that's it for now.

So once again fans of Starscream,

All hail Starscream! Long live Starscream!

Subject: For the love of Primus

Well, my camera is on the fritz, which is not surprising as it has taken over 10k Photos over the past eight years. This is irritating, but well, it happens. I might be getting a low end Canon rebel soon. I rather like the canon make and the low end one still takes the Compact flash cards, which I have a number of.

So, most unfortunately, I cannot take photos to put on my site of any of my beloved Starscreams or other figures until a later date. But to say, I've got quite a few recently, I probably should not have but, I cannot resist the Seeker.

The new figures and items are as follows:

Jibbitz Movie Starscream: What this is is a small button thing that pops into crocs shoes. It is a licensed item as well. Kind of neat and I really wish I could get a photo of it. It is rather cute.

Revoltech Starscream: Sweet Primus, this is a must have for a transformers Artist. Revoltech have the ability to move into virtually any pose, which is wonderful for drawing. He comes with a stand, a couple sets of hands, a Megatron gun. Basically an artists mannequin for the robots.

Henkei Starscream: Japanese Classics. This figure is top notch as far as classics Starscream goes. I thought the original classics was snazzy, but this one has a beautiful face, superior Generation One colour scheme and chrome. The chrome is neither here nor there, but this figure is worth it for collector who wants a figure who is G1 accurate.

New figures that are coming, but not yet arrived:

Botcon Shattered Glass Starscream: Heroic Decepticon? A concept that simply blows my mind, but interesting nonetheless. I wanted to get it before the secondary market prices inflate like a blimp. I am looking forward to its arrival sometime soon.

Coronation Starscream Bust: By Diamond Select. It's not a toy, but anything that portrays Starscream in his glory is fine my me. He is a limited edition, I can't recall how many of that figure was produced off the top of my head.

Masterpiece Starscream Coronation Set: All I can say is its about time and I am eager to get it onto my G1 coloured MP-03. Unfortunately the camera issues may mean the pictures will be somewhat...late.

Hoping to snare:

I am hoping to get my hands on the Deep Space Starscream soon. He's a metallic Movie Starscream with markings similar to that in the movie. I think he's still going to have the hair trigger firing fingers.

Animated Toys: I want these, where are they?

Other bits and pieces:

I managed to find a transformers kite. How cool is that? Unfortunately, those that designed the kites were not thinking that the most logical choice for a kite is Starscream or blackout. But never mind that, it is full all the same.

In the Thunderscream Files

Been a while since I updated this and I had been sitting on a couple of reviews. I have two to show you and again, Thunderscream has written them wonderfully and objectively. Fast Action Battler Frenzyand Beastwars Cybershark are our new reviews. They are very interesting and informative reads.

In the Movie Vault

I have, finally, added the Transformers: The Game to the site. This particular game is a PC computer game that came from Target. It has a nifty little decoder, reminiscent of the original generation one tech spec decoders. Also, I have included a small review of the game and cheat codes. Check it out!

In Fictions

I have written a new fan fic about Starscream. Easily set in the Generation One universe. I still like to think that the movie never happened so all are still alive and well.

The fic is titled: The Fugative . How original. No, its not about a Decepticon with an artificial arm on the run...
Here's the summery: Succumbing to temptation, Starscream finds himself on the run from an enraged Megatron and his death squad. After a week long game of cat and mouse, Starscream finds himself an area to hide until either Megatron's temper blows over, or he is captured and killed.

Please note that I will take any edits or corrections you might find.

Anyway, I think that is about it for now. I hope to get pictures of stuff up some point soon.

Subject: Site update and pending forum upgrade

Most unfortunate, my text editor crashed while working on this very entry.

Okay, to start again here.

I will be upgrading to PHPBB3 within the week. I have spent time to set up some skins for the forum. Your selections are, Datapad2 Which is based on the theme for the Website, Phoenix, which is a nice classy looking green and black skin, and Darkstar, which is red and Black. I've steered away from white as I find it is far too bright and I really don't like white. The Forum will also have some nice new ranks to be added to the current set, and the former title of "grunt" has been changed to "Air Warrior".

There have been some small changes on the website itself. If you are reading this, I would like to point out, the text is a much brighter blue and the left hand menu now is clearer with tidy boxes to show where one menu selection starts and stops. I do hope to have other changes in the future when I learn the code.

In Starscream's Shrine

Well now, I am taking the effort here to show off some new goodies, and discuss new goodies soon to be coming!

Coming soon to the Sanctuary near you will be the Revoltech Starscream. After deliberation (yeah right...I have to think about this?) I have ordered a Revoltech Starscream figure. I think that any artist who enjoys drawing robots, but just can't get the motion or movement and whatnot, needs one of these. It seems to be SO much more posable than the Mega SCF Starscream.

Also coming, will be the Japanese Classics Starscream. I am just hoping the Diamond Select coronation bust will be released shortly so I may release this haul from it's "Pile of loot" status on Big Bad Toy Store I really dislike waiting for my toys..

What I am also eagerly waiting for is the Starscream MP-03 coronation set that is coming soon. I can hardly wait for this. Call me a sap, but Starscream is the king of my universe. Again there is so much out there and I am finding myself overwhelmed.

Just added to the website is WST Ghost and Black Starscream. This pair is actually an unofficial knockoff of the original WST figures put out by Takara a few years ago, but inspite of being knockoffs, these figures are delightfully wonderful to have in the collection. I highly recommend them to you as they are very good knockoffs.

Added a while ago, but still worth linking is the Diamond Select Starscream Bust. Very nice statue, for those of you who enjoy the non transforming figures. As I said, there will be a coronation statue coming soon, which is really sweet.

Just remind me, or even contact me, about breaking up the Starscream toys page. It's getting really too big, even for me.

In the Movie Vault

Some Movie fun going on in here, actually, there is a bunch of things, that I need to get sorted out, such as the Valentines and Easter things. I still say nothing says "I love you" more than a giant robot with a huge honking gun. Sort of reminiscent of a shotgun wedding. If you cannot tell, that was highly sarcastic of me.

Also, some toys that have come my way... Movie Legends Stealth Starscream. I must admit, there is some classy charm about a black coloured jet. It looks classy and nice. Although, I still say the Movie legends figures are a bit to be desired. I am not sure how they could have been improved though. Anyway, he's black and looks awesome next to his gold counterpart.

And the Gasha Vending Machine "things". This is not Starscream, unfortunately that Seeker seems to be sort of semi forgotten in movie promotional lines. They'll have virtually everyone else, but Starscream. I suppose his two lines did not rate more than a couple macro toys. The Gasha Cell Phone danglers were disturbing, in that you squeezed it until it gave birth to the "alt mode"

In the Seekerverse

Recently I posted two comic strips, so I will post them in order of reading.

Foiled Again. Starscream and his Plans and Juggling Tasks. Skywarp can multitask.

And finally

There is a lot more to be done soon, including posting a Repaint figure (Pulsar) and posting some lovely colour work that Phoenix did on one of my early drawings. So check back soon.

So until another day,
