Seeker Sniper

Seeker Snipers are a mass-produced Decepticon body-type from the Revenge of the Fallen video game portion of 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 foot soldiers resembling Skywarp that can turn into F/A-18 Hornets. They have the special ability to teleport short distances and target enemies from afar with a heat-seeking missile.

Some Seeker Snipers showed up to stop Breakaway from saving some humans during a Decepticon attack. 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)

Notes

• The Seeker Snipers' purple and black coloration and teleportation powers are based on Generation 1 Skywarp, but also seems to take some cues from Armada Skywarp.
• According to their stats, these Decepticon flyboys have great vehicle speed, but not so much weapon damage and running.

• Run Speed: Slow
• Vehicle Speed: Fast
• Primary Weapon Damage: 35
• Secondary Weapon Damage: 12
• Health: 300

• 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.
• By coincidence or design, the three 'generic' Seeker designs in the Bumblebee film named by Industrial Light & Magic (Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Thrust) match the three Seekers chosen for generics in the Revenge of the Fallen game (Seeker Sniper from Skywarp, Seeker Warrior from Thundercracker, and Seeker Scout from Thrust).
