Titan Magazines
Ransack, agent of the Fallen, called himself a Seeker. He also referred to Seekers as being a whole different and separate form of life, but in the context he's likely just talking smack. Dogfight!
Later, Soundwave sent Grindor to find an old, rusting car. A car Soundwave referred to as one of "the lost", a redundant shell containing ancient knowledge. When Grindor cut it open, he retrieved a Cybertronian-looking "memory tree" from the innards. Hmmmm... Learning Curve
Soundwave later had Ransack captured, wanting to know the information the Seeker had. Turnabout
After the Fallen's destruction, William Lennox and his NEST team were spread thin trying to locate all the remaining Seekers. Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime
Revenge of the Fallen
Wheelie identified photos of a Ford Model T automobile, a 4-6-4 Hudson steam engine, a B-24 Liberator bomber, an F-104 Starfighter interceptor, and an SR-71 Blackbird as depicting Seekers. Simmons had spent some time in Sector 7 begging to investigate the evidence that these were N.B.E.s, but was denied and told he was being "obsessed". Really? Simmons, obsessed? Can't be. Revenge of the Fallen (film) Jetfire identified Ransack as being a seeker a short time after stomping him to death. Revenge of the Fallen (novel)
Notes
- Centuries later, the term Seeker would be used to describe a crack team under the command of Starscream.
- Ben Procter designed a robot mode for the Ford Model T automobile that was used as the basis of Ransack's.[1]
