Everything officially confirmed is here.

Sunstreaker and anything else not in that list are still currently in the unconfirmed/rumor stage.

Yeah, the wiki is up to date, then. Okay.

I would rather have the blue and silver rodeco for Blue Streak, but hopefully they do something fun with smoke screen. I am excited to get an RC that will hopefully drive it out of the park. The first one we got certainly looked like her original cartoon, but the proportions don't really hold up next to anything, and the Titans return figure is fun but you can tell it's been remodeled from a few different things.

Have the Quintessons ever had a Badge associated with them? Because if they have, I get the feeling that that'll be the Mercenary faction's Badge if they have a unique one. I do hope that if the do, they also have a rotating badge gimmick like Jetfire to show their current allegience

Technically there's this:

Though I think it's only been used by e-Hobby officially for their Overcharge redeco of reissue Blitzwing.

I'd be down with this symbol for mercs. It's clean and looks like it fits with the G1 logos.

Seems like more recently whenever Hasbro tries to make a "new faction" symbol, it winds up looking too complicated and pointy like some bad tribal tramp stamp tattoo... or thorn-inspired death metal band logo. <-- I'm exaggerating, but you get the point.

If used for the Mercenaries, yes. But I would not mind them coming back for dragon/medieval beastformers, it is really fitting for them!

This link takes you to a Facebook video where In Demand Toys shows a fast motion bot to alt-mode transformation sequence for Earthrise Optimus: https://www.facebook.com/indemandtoys/videos/2620554738231576/ and there is a video for each of the confirmed figures. Wheeljack looks pretty sweet, wish I had picked him up on Pulse but at least I have an Amazon preorder...

So I just discovered a interesting Character in IDW comics. His name is Bob and he is Sunstreaker's pet. If we get a Sunstreaker I think it would be very cool (but highly unlikely) if they would include a small figure of Bob with him. Or if they made him as a micro or battle master I would be happy as well! Just a thought that I wanted to share and see what you guys think of it?

Unlikely, as old IDW is done and gone. Only exception recently for a purely IDW design in Generations was Rung and he's massively popular with a specific segment of the fanbase whereas Bob isn't.

There was a custom exclusive of Bob for TFCon from Renderform. You might be able to track down one.

It's interesting that we've gotten early looks/leaks of all of the Deluxe Class Wave 1 Earthrise figures and Leader Class Optimus Prime, but we haven't seen anything from any other size class yet. I want to see reviews for Voyagers Grapple and Starscream especially, but it wouldn't hurt to have a quick look at the new Micromasters and Battlemasters too.

Starscream and Grapple are included among the transformation videos linked above. Though they aren't reviews, they are effectively in-have demonstrations.

Interesting, I will sort through my collection of them to see if one of them looks like Bob, otherwise my plan is to just build him out of bricks.

Well, I've come to except my only chance to find Smashdown in the wild is when he gets re-released in the early waves of Earthrise. I havent seen any of the smaller figures save Singe. Speaking of the rereleases, do we know if Astrotrain will have different deco to go along with his new packaging? If so that might be what gets me to pull the trigger on purchasing him

Yeah, but the transformations go by so fast, it's hard to pick out the interesting details. I'd like to have some nice 10-15 minute reviews to show off both modes, articulation, accessory, and the transformation.

Quick Promotional Transformation Videos for Transformers Earthrise

Postby william-james88 » Thu Jan 09, 2020 7:10 pm

Motto: "'till All Are One"
2020 is here and while we have the 2020 toys from both the Cyberverse and Studio Series line appearing in stores, the Transformers Earthrise line is nowhere to be found. But, and this is always a good sign, Hasbro's promotional campaign for the line is in full swing. Below you can see several promotional quick transformation videos that In Demand toys posted on Facebook. Those include Leader Class Optimus Prime, Voyager Class Grapple, Voyager Starscream, Deluxe Ironworks, Deluxe Wheeljack, Deluxe Cliffjumper and Deluxe Hoist.

I’m now wondering if I made a mistake not to order star scream... loved the classics figure with the only issue back then was his size. I have the siege screamer which I love (chest piece falling off aside).. didn’t get repaints and so intend to get a skywarp or the coneheads....
My personal prime collection so far in descending order of how great i reckon the toy is -
FE Prime, Silas Breakdown (Powerizer), Dreadwing (Powerizer), FE Bulkhead, Voyager StarScream (Powerizer), Ratchet, Soundwave, Arcee, Voyager Megatron (Powerizer), Wheeljack, Thundertron (Powerizer), Ultra Magnus (Powerizer), Knockout, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee,Airachnid

I'm still undecided on earthrise starscreaam. I think voyager size will work better for him but there is a lot more deluxe sized aircraft transformers out there from all the other lines so I might be okay with sticking to the classics versions. I still need Siege Rainmaker anyways seeing as they haven't made it across the pond yet with out paying ebay prices.
