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".[1]
Knowing Starscream, he reminds everyone of this fact every chance he gets.

Description of Seeker Body Type[]
The term Seeker refers to Decepticon jet troopers who share Starscream's body-type but with different colors or minor variations in wing and head shapes. but any franchise with a Starscream is almost inevitably going to feature a similar "family" of redecoed jet-formers. The word "Seeker" hovered a long time in a strange gray area between official and fan-coined terms. It seems to have originated in extremely obscure official or semi-official writing, but somehow became widely used among fans.
Movie Series[]
In the letters page for Titan's tie-in comic, the movie versions of Starscream, Thundercracker, and Ramjet were first referred to as Seekers—by Starscream himself, no less. Dreadwing was noticeably absent from Starscream's list, despite also being a jet and Thundercracker also being the name/body for a line of drones. This left it unclear what a Seeker is.Later, the term was clarified to mean a particular unit led by Starscream.
