Seeker Sniper

Seeker Sniper is a mass-produced Decepticon body-type from the live-action film series continuity family.

Let's hope they're braver than the last mass-produced, purple and black seeker.

Seeker Snipers are Decepticon F/A-18 Hornet jets colored like some Decepticon. They have the special ability to teleport short distances and target enemies from afar with a heat-seeking missile.

Fiction

Bumblebee film

As numerous grey and purple Seekers appear during the Cybertron scenes, it is uncertain to determine which (if any) of these robots is the actual Skywarp.

Seeker Snipers were among the Seeker hordes participating in the attack on the Autobots' launchpad to prevent them from evacuating Cybertron. One was blasted by Optimus Prime, another got himself decapitated by B-127, another accompanied Starscream in an airstrike on the launchpad itself, and another joined Soundwave and Shockwave in surrounding the Autobot leader.

Later on, another group of Seeker Snipers were among those who attempted to stop Bumblebee and Sam Witwicky from reviving a stasis locked Jetfire. They failed and Bumblebee destroyed them. Another group of Seeker Snipers were involved in aiding The Fallen against Optimus Prime, but were ultimately destroyed. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)

• The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player via cheat code in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, all achievements and your online sessions will be disabled by playing as the Seeker, which is odd considering all that's being done is playing as another character. Unlike the Protectobot Scout, the Seeker Sniper may be used in Deep-6.
  • The cheat to play as the Seeker on the PlayStation 3 version is: Square, Triangle, Square, L1, X, L1. The cheat to play as the Seeker on the Xbox 360 version is: X, Y, X, LB, A, LB.
  • The Seeker Sniper is also playable in Single Player mode via Hacking (or simply tweak with the file). The Seeker Sniper is called "dskrwarrior". Unfortunately, its special ability, Teleport, is unavailable via hack.
