Cliffjumper still looks weird without a bot-mode Autobot logo. I don't know why they didn't just make the trade-off of an upside-down logo in his alt-mode.

Or better yet, just modified the toy so that the windshield/car roof/chest could rotate so that it wasn't upside down on Cliffjumper's robot mode in the first place. I really like Cliffjumper but have been irked by the chest being upside down with the windshield on top ever since I first saw him at NYCC.

Ironworks and Cliffjumper look pretty good, i am excited for those 2.

What is with Hoist and the off-colors for his body panels? That's a weird development. I still plan to get him, but that's weird.

Wheeljack, what has happened? He doesn't look very good there, despite the bad mistransformation. It also annoys me that the bottom of the windshield is square on the chest.

[Wolfman Jake]

I'm hoping the color contrast between the green plastic and the green paint on Hoist is just being exaggerated by whatever camera was used. The contrast is probably not as bad in person. Wheeljack's windshield was always squared off in robot mode, btw. The initial renders and the NYCC samples bare this out. What does look different, though, is the color of the white plastic. It looks closer to the "creamy" white used on Siege Sideswipe than the brighter white used on Siege Red Alert or G2 Sideswipe. That's a shame.

Thanks to the Edduardo Vinz Colin AKA @cybercookiereports on Instagram, we have a huge list of potential Earthrise figures that have now hit the rumor mill.

Now before we get to the list, we remind you that these are merely RUMORS and we have no hard confirmation for any of these figures yet, though a few were on this list from a few days ago. But it is exciting to speculate, and many of these figures do make sense given molds and clues we have been given up to this point. It is also interesting to note that some of these figures finish off the original Siege fanvote options, giving all 6 characters from that vote a toy.

Without further ado, the rumored figures include:

Deluxe Class:

1. Shrapnel
2. Bumblebee
3. Runamuck
4. Trailbreaker
5. Sunstreaker
6. Tracks
7. Needlenose

Voyager Class

1. Blaster
2. Quintesson
3. Skywarp

Others:

1. Commander Class Sky Lynx
2. Unknown Class Megatron
3. Unknown Class Quintessa
4. Titan Class Scorponok
5. Exclusive Conehead 3-Pack
6. Exclusive Deluxe Class Runabout

So what do you make of this list? Anything on here you really want to see, or anything you really didn't want to? Let us know what you think in the comments section below! and feel free to speculate away and tell us what you want and hope to see!

I suppose you miss 100% of the layups you don't attempt. "Leaks" featuring a known fan vote figure, earlier rumors and obvious repaints. K.

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

I'm totally on board for an Earthrise Bumblebee, but I've seen Studio Series lists with this exact same format (I'm assuming made by the same guy) and they've been false except for the few things we already knew about sprinkled in.

Like I said though, I would get a Bumblebee from this line and I'd be interested to see the Coneheads. I really only collect Studio Series and movie stuff but I do really like the fighter jet alt-modes, so we'll see!

[STngAR]

I am the most excited about Scorponok and am the most curiuos about Sky Lynx.

[Fc203]

This is fake
Its from cybercookies on Instagram he posts fake lists

[Randomhero]

Yup. All six. Even gnaw...wait...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Siege fanvote, not Earthrise fanvote. It is stated as such

[Sentinel_Primal]

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and doubt this list. Call me cynical, but the fact that they don't give size classes for two of them, and given one of them is typically the big bad of Transformers so we can sort of assume he's coming anyway, it feels more like a wishlist to me, with several ones that have associated molds already confirmed. Some are definitely shots in the dark, but considering some were in fan polls, Hasbro probably has the designs in storage and are planning to release them at some point, but all in one line? I find it hard to believe

Yeah this list is whack. Zero new micormaster bases or ramps.

[TF-fan kev777]

So what do you make of this list?

My only demand is that Hasbro releases ALL of the 6 seekers prominently featured in the first two seasons of the g1 cartoon. I personally will only be completing my season 1 seekers but I want those who need the coneheads to have the option

It seems like an incomplete list that is also entirely believable. My dog could tell you that a new Seeker mold will get repainted and that Hoist will probably get redone as Trailbreaker.

...ok that's a stretch he doesn't know the difference between a Transformer and a raw potato but the point remains.

[skycutter]

the leak is fake because it from someone that is known for fake leaks

[AcademyofDrX]

This is weak, and honestly it's starting to get embarrassing. There is nothing to support it being a leak beyond the word "leak" in the post. Does this site have literally any standards for posting rumors as news? Does the leak need to be supported by any independent sources? Does the leaker need to have previous confirmed leaks?

[Wireless_Phantom]

If Hoist's greens area actually that different in hand I might pass on him. I can deal with it on some figures but those shades are so different it's unacceptable.

I would imagine the person who posted this takes regular leaks like any other normal human being as it is a necessary bodily function. As Gob would say: "Come on!"

Coneheads, mega yes please.

Shrapnel.... eh, I’m perfectly fine with how the Legends Insecticons turned out and how they scale with current stuff, Shrapnel’s gunna have to blow me away and the promise of the other two Insecticons before I bite.

Tracks and Needlenose come as no surprise, since they were part of the fan vote whatever.

About time they did Blaster. No doubt a Soundwave retool, but it’s one I wouldn’t mind as long as he looks right and has his buddies to party with!

I was just thinking today about how Bumblebee could be a slight retool or Cliffjumper, what a coincidence!

Nice to see they’ll continue doing Seekers, but man I hope they don’t make Thundercracker as part of an exclusive box set...

Trailbreaker also comes as no surprise (uhh, hello, Hoist?), but Sunstreaker does. I had just bought Sideswipe in the hopes there’s be a Sunstreaker and it looks like my gamble may’ve payed off!

[Prime Target]

We all knew Bumblebee was happening ever since we saw Cliffjumper, at least TC and Skywarp are happening from Screamer, Trailbreaker is coming from Hoist, Runamucks already coming and we have to get Runabout from him and Scorponoks already been confirmed.

But these have to happen

. Sunstreaker from Wheeljack. Finally giving us the Lambros we need
. Deluxe Insecticons not just Shrapnel maybe Shattered Glass repaints down the line
. Tracks with either a Road Rage, Loudpedal or a Shattered Glass repaint from Selects
. Blaster and an Exclusive Twincast somehow
. Needlenose with Targetmasters that aren't just Firedrive and Blowpipe again like Spinister's are gonna be


And I can totally see them doing the Coneheads in an exclusive three set like the Rainmakers are.

Old TF fan … long time lurker. I got back into collecting some of these Siege Transformers and they're great.

I would love to get a Siege-style Thrust. That was a toy I wanted as a kid, but could never afford when he was available.

However, am I alone in hating the "conehead" styling? I've always felt those looked mis-transformed. I doubt I would bother.

[Nemesis Primal]

...yeah, this list kind of reads as a grab bag of sure bets, figures from other leaks, and fan vote guys thrown in for padding. There are a handful of things here I would LIKE to see, and I could see many of them happening, but not because this is a legit leak, regardless of how Very big it is.

It does make me wonder though, if we are to get Blaster and/or Megatron, what will they turn into? They still can't/won't do a gun Megatron, and we just got a G1 Tank Megatron that was close enough to an Earth mode that I don't know they can justify another one like they did Trailer OP. I also can't see them making Blaster a boombox when the Soundwave he would presumably be opposing turns into a Space brick dropship/lamppost.

[ZeroWolf]

Maybe the megs is the armoured car rumor and we're getting Cybertron megs to go with galaxy upgrade Prime from Siege yes that's such a long shot that it's practically doing rotations around the sun but it would be a way to get a megs in Earthrise

[Aimless Misfire]

Earthrise deluxe Shrapnel = the old Legends class figure packed in a deluxe box. Something Hasbro would totally do, just look at Cliffjumper. With the introduction of Siege leader class Hasbro have really become total scumbags. In a few years they'll put legends size figures in leader boxes for $50 or $60. And the stupid collectors will happily pay it.
