Just received a cancellation notice for Leader class Optimus Prime. *sigh*

[Nemesis Primal]

So now that we know the Quintesson rumor wasn't actually an Earthrise figure, what does that mean for the Deluxe Quintessa from the same rumor? Earthrise or Cyberverse?

I'd bet it'll also be Cyberverse if it's doing Quintessons

[Ironhidensh]

Were we aware that there was a leader class doubledealer coming in this line?

Were we aware that there was a leader class doubledealer coming in this line?

All we had heard from the rumormill was that the next Leader would be an armored car. The new leaked listings naming Doubledealer as the next Leader would match up with that description.

[Sentinel_Primal]

As long as Doubledealer has both his actual modes and Powermasters, I'm sold. Doubledealer's a character I've only learned of recently but he's definitely a design I like, as well as concept. Now I'm curious as to whether he'll have both Autobot and Decepticon badges, or Mercenary badges (assuming they get unique symbols), or if they'll get something like Siege Jetfire and have a rotating badge depending on who the highest bidder was

[Sabrblade]

Here are the aforementioned new Earthrise listings:

These all come via Walmart with mobile app UPC searches.

No images of the figures yet but i'll add screenshots of the listings in a minute.

First we'll start off with what looks like re-releases.

Hm... Fasttrack's nice, Sunstreaker's a maybe if they do it like the MP where the extra boosters are optional/armor/weapons, and Snapdragon's good to go with Apeface. Other than that, I'm not really into a lot of the leaks/rumors. Granted, Hasbro's gotten me addicted to Siege figures, and I don't expect that to change when we see pictures of these figures. Heck, Earthrise Prime annoyed me when he was first revealed and now I'm thinking about picking him up for that Matrix

[aronjlove]

And today is the day I learned that Patrol means two completely independent vehicles while Squad means two vehicles that combine to become a larger vehicle. I was never into the G1 Micromasters back in the day so I never knew the distinction. Imagine my dismay when I found out that Astro Squad is not related to Astrontrain's Astro Force lol. Speaking of Squad, Here's the Decepticon Battle Squad next to the Autobot Off-Road Patrol.

[Nemesis Primal]

I love Slitherfang already solely based on their name. Give them to me.

Snapdragon, Fast Track, and Slitherfang are the only guaranteed purchases on there. Doubledealer is cool to see, and he's probably our first Merc, but I want to see the actual figure before I make any decisions, and I've been waiting to see Runamuck since his announcement. Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker are boring/easy passes, I still have zero interest in Micromasters, and Quintesson continues to frustrate me unless they made it transform somehow. I was happy when I thought the Cyberverse 3-pack was the Quintesson from that listing. At least that probably means Quintessa is still an Earthrise figure, that's still a wild card.

[AcademyofDrX]

Am I the only person assuming that Runamuck will just be Cliffjumper's body with a new head?

[Ironhidensh]

Am I the only person assuming that Runamuck will just be Cliffjumper's body with a new head?

Possible. I think he and Sunstreaker will be repaint/retools of Wheeljack.

[blackeyedprime]

Nothings standing out as a baseformer (unless fast track deviates from G1) and fast track is my only must have from the list & Trailbreaker seeing as my thrill30 one has 2 left doors.
The others are on my wait and see with the exception of sunstreaker as it would be weird not having an earthrise sideswipe for him to go with.

[AcademyofDrX]

There's virtually no way they're going to do an Earthrise Sideswipe, as he would be nearly identical to Siege Sideswipe. I don't think we'll see new versions of any Siege Deluxe Autobots, though a new Ratchet/Ironhide mold wouldn't shock me.

[Nemesis Primal]

I dunno why this assumption still persists. All of the previous fan vote characters were new molds, save for Victorion who we were told would be repaints/retools from the start, and the Hasbro folks who announced that Runamuck was being made blatantly said they were working on his unique engineering so all his tires end up on his feet. He'll be a new mold just like Mirage and Impactor were.

I'm very skeptical. The Cliffjumper body is the right size and shape, and several of its design elements match the Battlechargers better. In particular, the alt-mode length and backpack are perfect, while CJ should have a short car body. I don't know why they would go to so much trouble to put all the wheels on the feet when that was a product of the original toy's simplistic engineering.

Thanks to Jtprime17, we now have a big list of most of what is left from the Earthrise line. Most of it is obvious or things many predicted, such as Trailbreaker, Snapdragon, Runamuck and Sunstreaker. But we also have some new stuff like leader class Doubledealer which will likely once again be a voyager sized figure with lots of accessories. We see that Quintesson voyager figure again, this one should be transforming. No inferno yet, but we all know that's just a matter of time. These were all found within the Walmart app through a UPC search.

All of these are very exciting prospects! I'm very curious to see how they're going to engineer Snapdragon. I presume they'll use the same double sided titan master trick they used for Apeface (who I actually liked). Glad we're getting Fast Track to go with Scorponok. I'm still holding out hope for a Brave Maximus colored Cog (one can dream). I'm also feeling confident that the new Sunstreaker is going to blow people away! Poor guy needs a good toy to match his bro. I can't wait to see what they're going to do with that Quintesson.

Edit: I meant Grand Maximus.

Fasttrack should be interesting to say the least. I'm wondering if he'll be a Weaponizer like the rest, or if that'll be reserved solely for the Micromaster bases. And I agree on Sunstreaker; poor guy hasn't had a decent figure since Uni '08 (CW Sunny doesn't count in my book ). I've been staunch about not double-dipping on molds, but if he's a retool of Wheeljack, I may have to break down and do it.

[Wireless_Phantom]

Oh boy I can't wait. I think I'm definitely going to be skipping Optimus now though. I try to keep the number of leader class figures I buy down for cost reasons and he's just too similar to the Siege and Classics Primes which I already have.

[Sabrblade]

I'm still holding out hope for a Brave Maximus colored Cog (one can dream).

Wouldn't a Grand Maximus colored Cog make more sense since Grand actually got a Titan class toy?

That’s probably what he meant arogon looks good with Grand maximus. Their colors work

It's cool. I've found an easy way to remember which Fort Max redeco is which:

"Grand is Green, Brave is Blue"

What would a Brave Max Cog even look like? Brave Max didn't come with one
