Here's our Earthrise description from our previous article:
"Earthrise continues the War for Cybertron stories following Siege, and is the middle part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy. Earthrise features a return to more Earth based alternate modes, and drops the battle damage aesthetic that Siege utilized.
The new bots shown were Hoist, Grapple, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Ironworks, Soundbarrier, Starscream, Optimus Prime as well as some Micromasters.
Here is what we learned from John Warden, concerning all these new toys.
The new gimmick is shields that can connect to base bots to make a bigger base.
While there will still be Battlemasters, there will also be armour based bots that will help build the bases with clear pieces. Soundbarrier, a new character, is who was on display to represent these new bots.
Starscream is based on the classics deluxe and thus the transformation will be almost the same.
Earthrise Prime shares parts with Siege prime but has a different Transformation. The matrix is removeable and he has silver hands.
Cliffjumper comes with the giant cannon he had in the G1 show for one episode. He fits in Optimus' trailer. Cliffjumper is his own mold and not meant to be Bumblebee down the road. You can add modular elements to him (same with Hoist).
Hoist can tow characters or attach to your mini cities and his robot mode can become a bridge like he did in G1.
Astrotrain will be rereleased in Earthrise packaging since he (and Omega) work with the new base building system.
Deluxes like Ironworks are called Modular Battlestations and in earthrise we will be getting the classic bases from g1 turned into partsforming bots."
The Hasbro Live Brand Panel gave some awesome surprises. Here they showed off the 35th Anniversary Optimus Prime and Megatron, Earthrise Starscream, and the double headmaster component for the next Titan, Scorponok!

Cybertron if only part 1 takes place on Earth? Like not a knock on the products themselves but it seems weird to me. 
Unless they're making a Primacon figure...
