The name or term "Seeker" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Seeker (disambiguation).

The Seekers are a Decepticon crack unit from the Transformers portion of the movie continuity family.

Shockwave is not a Seeker. The guys to the right of him are.

The Seekers are a crack unit of Decepticons under Starscream's command. They possess superior tracking and detection skills and a high-level of firepower, and can "just get things done better than anyone else".

• Thundercracker
• Blitzwing
• Ramjet
• Skywarp
• Thrust

Seekers formed the bulk of the Decepticon forces led by Shockwave in their push against the Autobots' last stronghold, an interstellar launch pad. Though they destroyed the launch pad, they did so too late to prevent the Autobots from evacuating Cybertron.

Some time later, Blitzwing followed B-127 to Earth, only to be terminated by the scout. Bumblebee

Transformers: Shadows Rising

During their search for a mysterious base located in the Pacific Ocean, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jay, and Vanessa, are assailed by three KSI drones resembling Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker. The three drones engage the Autobot leader, with the Thundercracker drone getting killed and the Starscream clone getting thrown into the water. Optimus runs the Skywarp drone through with one of his blades, seemingly killing it, only for the drone to get back up and attempt to take them with it and explode. Optimus and the others dove into the water, where they encountered the Starscream drone a second time, only for the Autobot leader to smash it against the door to the base, killing it.

Notes

"Who disrupts my aviation!?"

• There's something very familiar about this line-up...
• In The Last Knight, among Edmund Burton's collection of artifacts testifying Cybertronian presence on Earth, an old photo features a Transformer who shares a body-type with Starscream leading an army of German soldiers during WWI. It's unknown if this is meant to actually be Starscream, or is just a generic Seeker.
