Hi all! Other than that initial tease last October- has anyone seen or heard any more rumblings about an Earthrise Scorponok ? I was hoping it would be this line’s version of the Omega Supreme

I would assume that we'll hear more at either Toy Fair next month or SDCC in July.

Yes, it will be the Earthrise Titan class figure much like Omega Supreme was for Siege.

I'm wondering if Sunstreaker gets released as a remolded/recolor of Siege Sideswipe. And Bumblebee getting a head remold of earthrise cliffjumper.

Sine its a earth theme. Maybe they will make new legends figures for the Throttlebars including Searchlight Rollbar Freeway and the others. They can probably use Goldbug instead of Wideload. But not as small like the Battlemasters.

Wow- Sunstreaker would be awesome.

I also think a really cool Earthrise would be Titan Class Broadside- to give him true credit for being a full sized aircraft carrier. Very underrated G1 character IMO

Nah these days we only get one Titan Class a line per year, so we'll have to wait and see what Part 3 of War for Cybertron gives us. Unless Broadside is this years Commander Class release of course

Plus, Commander class seems to be a better fit for Broadside to me. Titan would have his aircraft carrier mode be in a useful scale for deluxe plane bots, but would put bot and plane modes way too big. We've seen how Hasbro is paying attention to robot mode scale, so commander seems to be the best compromise overall.

Actually you’re right. Agree 100%. I’m thinking make him the size of siege Jet Fire and maybe a couple of micromaster planes that could fit......

That would be cool. Broadside got so little run that it might be a pipe dream
