If Takara ever complete that Armada Prime figure, I'd suspect they will tackle Jetfire and Overload. In fact that could be why we haven't had it yet, if Takara is still unsure of the project, then hasbro might not want to move on it.

Yeah, in light of both the potp god bomber prime and rotf devastator, they may have decided to design them all together so that the potential combined mode isn't a disaster of top-heaviness on the joints (more how devs was designed with the body being made last to see what it had to hold up as opposed to how godbomber tried to fix things that couldn't be fixed);
I think there's a big market for generations ut figures, but I don't think a lot of people are going to be willing to pay TT prices for an entire line of them if hasbro chooses not to play ball

I think it's cool that they found a way to create a base mode / launch platform for Skylynx, but I want to know, who is driving or walking up that steep of a ramp?

But Seriously, I'm really excited about this figure.

@Smokingray7775 on Twitter just shared some pics of the ER two-pack Seeker figures compared to their Siege counterparts. There are a few more comparison pics as well, with other, older molds.

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Nice!
The Tetrajets appear taller? That's interesting.

[Sentinel_Primal]

Weirdly these pictures make me want to pick up Siege Thundercracker so I could have both designs

[Skritz]

Hm. The difference is indeed minor. Don't get me wrong they are completely different molds but the overall shape and proportions are nearly identical. While I'm skipping on the season 1 Seekers in their ER incarnation, I'm still down for some coneheads with that mold.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I saw that big ole showcase at my walmart, and finally saw Earthrise voyagers and deluxes for the first time!... but they only had Ironworks and Grapple, so I finally got Ironworks. Now to eventually find Wheeljack and I'll be done with wave 1

[Autobot N]

I finally got Ironworks.

Nice. He's the only ER figure I've got so far, and he's pretty great.

[Nemesis Primal]

And once again, my hopes of the new Datsun mold getting reused as Jazz and UT Crosswise get even further diminished...regardless, I have no interest in buying a second Bluestreak, but I hope for the sake of others that he's a blue deco Bluestreak both to further differentiate him from last year's and so those interested could repurpose him as Prime Smokescreen or someone else. And hey, at least he's an exclusive too, so he won't be another repeat taking up retail slots.

Also I absolutely agree with Skritz, the combination of Micromasters & Battlemasters as Mini-Con stand-ins (We almost got Astroscope updated AS a Micromaster with Sky Lynx even!) and Weaponizers/Modulators working in a very Powerlinx-like fashion make this the perfect time to do more UT references/updates and I will continue to be disappointed by the lack thereof every time it gets brought up. Galaxy Upgrade OP and Hot Shot are great, but 2 figures is pretty minuscule compared to the entire rest of the line being G1.

[Skritz]

You know, toys might have less plastic/overall mass than during the UT but I honestly think the overall engineering has improved so much that, should they desire it, HasTak might posses the knowledge and understanding to better pull off a lot of these early Unicron Trilogy gimmicks which more often than not used to severely compromise articulation. Now (or next line, most likely) is a good time to try again what the early UT attempted and utterly failed at. Yeah, sure, those were bigger and bulkier toys but I think most people agree Armada and Energon weren't exactly doing so hot when it came to articulation, proportion and overall play value beyond a single dumb gimmick.

Powerlinx might be doable today better than it was during Energon, for example. Possibly using a Combiner Wars-esque peg (but bigger) to join the two halves at the waist. All those 'magic mushrooms' and characters who combine could be redone as Weaponizers, if partsforming even more is what it take to make them less compromised.

You mean, even make a decent figure out of this guy:

To me the robot modes of the Siege figures look better, but I want the ER figures for the jet modes. I wasn't planning on getting both, but now I might have to keep the Siege figures after picking up the ER jets.

Smokingray7775 has posted some images on their Twitter account of the Cyertron Villains 2 pack Transformers Earthrise set which includes seekers Thundercracker and Skywarp. They give us new comparisons with the Siege releases and the classics toys. These images further reinforce how off the Siege Skywarp colours. We can also see that Skywarp's purple is closer to grape than the more lilac shade we had on the classics version.

These toys will be coming to the US as Target exclusives, though we do not have preorders yet.

[Sabrblade]

That's Henkei! Henkei! Skywarp. Hasbro's Classics Skywarp had pink instead of purple.

[Rodimus Prime]

The more I look at these, the more the ankle kibble on the ER figures bother me. I wonder if they're easily removable when in robot mode.

[cruizerdave]

I hate to say it, but the classics have better paint jobs.

[Skritz]

This guy is basically a meme at this point about how gimmicks can ruin a figure.

[YRQRM0]

I still kinda feel like a better mold is inevitable. Plus the only reason I'd get this pack is for Skywarp, and I kinda hate the face. And that pale purple has me wishing they went with that instead.

[Bounti76]

The gap at the top of the chest on the Earthrise versions kind ord bothers me, especially because the underside isn't painted, and it looks kind of messy.

I really hope the 3rd part of WFC won't include the seekers, because that would be just blatant trolling on Hasbro's part.

Part 3 will have slightly better Earth mode seekers and a slightly better G1 Optimus Prime.

I will be a bit upset if that happens. They would be taking spots away from other characters that could have voyager figures. Like the Coneheads.

and the next trilogy will have slightly better G1 figures than before only they will leave out a bunch of fan favorites

We are already getting the coneheads in earthrise
