First Images of Transformers "Earthrise" Runabout

The paint detail differences on the front of the car modes actually do kinda create an illusion of them sorta looking like different cars.

Didn't read article just looked at pictures since tired and just browsing phone before sleep

I still believe that Runabout & Thrust may be the only toys of a standard retail 4th wave (repacked with others of course). Pretty much every exclusive has been revealed. It would not make sense to me for these to be released as Selects, nor in a 2 pack from Amazon, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Well Thrust and Runabout both have WFC-E numbers, so selects is out. Also Thrust is WFC-E26, way too low to be in wave 4. Also, the shelf tags in Canada showed he was a solid case and likely an exclusive like Bluestreak. Runabout is WFC-E41 which does line up with wave 4 if it still exists, but it also lines up with where many exclusives ended up for Siege.

Keep in mind, the map is the only item that ever indicated a wave 4 and that would have been created before Covid-19 threw everything off.

Since wave 2 isn't even in stores yet, I can definitely see them moving Runabout to online only just so they don't have to delay the start of Kingdom. From a planning standpoint, skipping wave 4 for retail/in stores and moving it to online only makes the most sense so that they can try to line up Kingdom wave 1 for January.

Owch, just bad luck on Scorponoks color Mine was fine, all though his box wasnt sealed and arrived with some box damage that must have happened before it was packed as the packaging was fine -didnt matter as i'm not keeping the box anyways and I'm not one of the crappy people that tries to charge money for current gen empty boxes.

Look at that tiny head, he and Cromar could have a competition. It's shaped like a milk dud lol. I do like his carrier mode the most.

I know several books exist for older artwork, I have a few of them, but none that I can recall for art especially from CW on. That Art of Transformers Genesis book released by Image is one of my most prized possessions.

Go buy Transformers: A Visual History.

It's nice to finally see Runabout. It's a little disappointing that they don't have different alt modes, but I didn't really expect them to. The new headsculpt is nice. I like the clear red for the windows, it adds a nice pop of color that makes me wish Runamuck used clear orange instead of gray.

But on the subject of how he's being released, wasn't there a Target listing for Runabout?

Feels kinda weird being happy with a wfc deluxe car mode and snap dragons ship modes pretty good too despite the odd unfinished looking rear. His cockpit is scary tight when opening/closing but it's not something I'm going to do often and the titan master could probably be sneaked into it during transformation.
