All parts and accessories: Starscream (War for Cybertron: Earthrise)
When the Transformers cartoon began in 1984, the Autobots had a significant numerical advantage over their opponents. For toys, there were 11 Autobot cars, six mini-cars, and Optimus Prime, for a total of 18 good guys. The Decepticons had Megatron, Soundwave and his five cassettes, and the three Seeker jets, for a total of 10. Sunbow Productions bolstered the Decepticon numbers in a number of ways in early episodes of the series, including the addition of "generic" Seekers; they had bodies in the form of Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker, but with different colours schemes and no names. A set of three more Seekers is therefore needed to represent these characters, but with names and personalities and everything. They are Crosswind, Nosedive, and Overshot.

Transformers Universe Profile:
NOSEDIVE
Allegiance: Decepticons
Sub-Group: Seekers
Function: Air Warrior
"Get the job done."
Profile: While Nosedive is a competent and effective warrior, his heart really isn't into it. He follows orders, but not because he believes in the Decepticon cause. Instead, he merely seeks to avoid incurring the wrath of Starscream and other high-ranking Decepticons. He figures that as long as he does his job, he won't take the blame for their failures against the Autobots. Nosedive would prefer to be back home on Cybertron with no war to concern himself with, but he knows his lot in life and continues to fly under the radar, so to speak.
Abilities: In alternate mode, Nosedive is as fast as most other Seekers, able to reach speeds of up to 1,500 mph with excellent maneuverability. He excels at high-powered dives ending in a strafing run. He is armed with two smart bomb launchers and a pair of kinetic impact rays, which burst on impact, throwing targets out of his path.
Weaknesses: Nosedive does not find the Decepticon cause to be a noble or worthwhile one, which means he can become distracted during his missions. Unless Starscream or some other ruthless Seeker is there to keep him in line, Nosedive will begin to wonder whether all the violence and destruction is justifiable, wishing he could just go back home.
