Seeker Sniper
- Seeker Sniper is a mass-produced Decepticon bodyform from the Revenge of the Fallen video game portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Seeker Snipers (also known as Decepticon Long-Range Warriors) 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.

The Decepticon Long-Range Warriors transformed into silver Earth jets rather than their usual black. Their arm blasters fired red balls of plasma, similar to their Autobot counterparts' blue. They were also armed with weapons such as machine guns and missile launchers.
When Optimus Prime dropped into Shanghai (literally) via NEST cargo plane, Long-Range Warriors were the first to fight back, led by their lieutenant. Obviously, it ended quite disastrously, with the Autobot leader shooting through dozens of the Decepticons and cutting the last three stragglers in half at the waist. They later attacked Ironhide, who was on a mission to destroy Demolishor. In the same theatre of operations, they also assisted Sideways when he was being pursued by Bumblebee.
When Bumblebee was captured, these air warriors guarded the base where the Autobot was imprisoned. However, a traitor set the Autobot free, and the units assailed Bumblebee while he worked his way through the base. They attacked Ironhide again as he worked his way towards the Decepticon's cannons.

- Much like Protectobot Scout, The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player via cheat code in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The cheat to play as the Seeker on the PlayStation 3 version is: Square, Triangle, Square, L1, X, L1. To play as the Seeker in the Xbox 360 version input: X, Y, X, LB, A, LB. 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 Autobot's Protectobot Scout's Playable version, the Seeker may be used in Deep-6.
- The Seeker Sniper is 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.
