Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Discussion Thread
Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2019 12:04 pm
Coming just days ahead of New York Comic Con 2019, we have our first look at the follow up line to War for Cybertron: Siege! Several Seibertronians have sent us a link to an article on IGN which gives us the first renders of the new toys. Titled "War for Cybertron: Earthrise", the first figures to be revealed for the line show off all size classes beginning with none other than Optimus Prime himself, in the Leader Class! Optimus looks to possibly be a retool of his Siege Voyager Class figure, but it's not known for sure at this time whether or not that is the case, or if he's an all new mold. Regardless, we can see a deco free of battle damage, which is sure to please fans who like a cleaner look.
In keeping with the trend of Siege Leader Class figures, this figure appears to be a Voyager size figure with additional accessories and/ or armor, and in this case, it's Prime's iconic trailer! He also features a gun and shield.
While Roller is not included with this iteration of Prime and his trailer, it does come with the Combat Deck, doubling as a repair bay.
Moving along, we have confirmation of three figures that were leaked in a listing last week, the first of which is Voyager Class Grapple!
Continuing on to Deluxe Class, we have something of a new character, Ironworks! Formerly a Micromaster base, Ironworks has been given a robot mode, and looks to be a similar style to the Weaponizers of the Siege line, being able to be taken apart to be rearranged into base mode. Maybe this will be a big feature of the upcoming line? And if I'm not mistaken, it looks like Ironworks has connectors that will allow connections to base modes of figures from previous lines...
Being that Ironworks was a Micromaster base, it seems only fitting to keep including Micromasters in Earthrise as well! Big Daddy and his buddy Trip-Up are heading up the Hot Rod patrol.
So there you have it for the first glimpse of Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise! No doubt we'll see at least a few more reveals at NYCC 2019 this weekend, hopefully some Decepticons among them.
What do you think, fellow Cybertronians? Are you excited about this new line and these new figures? Please let us know below, and feel free to speculate away on what the next figures will be!
