In other news, like most of the rest of this line, both Doublecrosser and the Skywarp/Thundercracker 2-pack are going to be TakaraTomy Mall exclusives when they get released in Japan.

EXTREMELY disappointed that Bee's HORNS have the tips CHOPPED OFF from the cg renders...

Fasttrack and Elita-1 look great. Earthrise Arcee is garbage, but E1 looks good.

Netflix Megs with Reprolabels looks best.

Is Soundwave not included as "new" because a version of him was already in Siege?

I hate the color of Elita-1's shins.

These all look great! Are they all just Walmart exclusives?

Is it just me or is Elita painted like a human woman in bike shorts?

Just Bee and Elita are since they're Netflix figures rather than Earthrise.

For me that is close. I see an Irish gal who normally wears knee length shorts, but is now wearing a swimsuit. Tan calves and pasty-white thighs.

It's how her thighs looked in the cartoon:

Not disputing that, its the calves that kind of throw things off.

It's a bit of a shame that Earthrise may have little else to offer that hasn't already been leaked or revealed by now. We know Thrust is coming at some point, but there's no sign of another Leader Class figure after Doubledealer. We've got nothing confirming an Inferno retool from Grapple yet either. Now that we have the Ironhide and Prowl 2-pack coming in November, what about Ratchet and Bluestreak? Will some of these be relegated to Kingdom instead? Or maybe they'll come in a third wave of Netflix branded product next year to tie in to the Earthrise cartoon? Is there more to the map puzzle than meets the eye? Maybe more is to be added yet. Another consideration is that after the map is complete, nothing says Hasbro can't release future Earthrise waves without map pieces or with redundant map pieces if they wish to pad out the subline a little further as happened with Siege.

Is it just me, or is Elita-1 colored like her PotP toy:




If so, nice sense of continuity between pre- and post-combiner upgrade... drat! T30 Arcee it is for me then... and PotP Elita-1 if I can find her

It's the same toy as the Siege toy isn't it?, just promoting a different alt mode, or did I miss something?

Sort of? They removed the backpack, and retooled the chest and waist. But left the arms alone, so it is no longer a space barge, only a cassette player (with some useless landing gear).

The current credible rumors for Kingdom say that Inferno-retooled-from-Grapple is coming in that line.

Hrmmm that is some sort of weird hybrid then, because I know with the previous Siege Soundwave you could *fan mode* it into a Cassette player... Thankfully I have no interest in it, so I don't know what you would call it. I'm sure fans of soundwave are thrilled, but in any event, I doubt they would release this separately as an Earthrise voyager single release.

Tthat landing gear really sticks out too if you have the siege version and know what it is.

We do have the leak placing G1 Inferno in Kingdom already. My guess is either Ratchet or Bluestreak will be the Walgreens exclusive with the other either being pushed to Kingdom as well, or possibly selects.

There's questionably credible evidence placing Ratchet in Selects, and we know that however Bluestreak is coming he comes in a case to himself, so he's probably Walgreens.

If you really look at it, most of Netflix Soundwave is new parta compared to Siege. Definitely reused engineering and the head and feet and arms below the biceps, but a loooot of new sculpting.

No it isn't. As those pictures clearly show, she was pink in the cartoon

I thought those leaks were unconfirmed at this point. You're not just referring to the "list" that popped up the other week, right? The one with "Powermaster Megatron" on it?

The inferno rumours came before that from the sane source that leaked slag and Daniel from studio series 86, and a whole host of others we have listings for.

Should've really got rid of the landing gear parts on the forearms... So stupid.

Nope, Kingdom Inferno from Earthrise Grapple was from the leaked list that included the weirdly-specific-if-fake "Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slag w/ Daniel", shortly before that specifically was confirmed by a listing on iirc Walmart's website; and iirc, was from the same leaker that before that, talked about Studio Series 86 Kup, Blurr, and Jazz, shortly before those were confirmed by listings as well. It's legit.
