In Hand Images of Earthrise Thundercracker and Skywarp Confirms Different Headsculpt

The faces on the main Seekers are cool, doesn't change anything as I'll be getting them anyway.

Any chance we can get some shots of Skylynx's box?

This almost makes me want the two-pack. The alt-mode is meh to me but the new faces are interesting, I can almost see a downturn on Thundercracker's lips as if he is displeased with what he sees. And Skywarp is clearly shouting at someone "Don't do that!" lol.

I think a Coneheads retool would require a nosecone which can fold open to show the face. That way there would also be, as a bonus, an option to display 'toy accurate' Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge as their original artwork show them with regular seeker heads.

Sorry for the delay, feel free to use these in a news article. I'll add some pictures after my thoughts:

Overall I love this figure. I don't know much about Sky Lynx, but I love the design and this definitely hit the mark better than my now sold CW version. The vehicle modes for both look incredible, and its very easy to connect and separate the two halves (maybe too easy). The bird mode is quite hard to stand up but when you do is glorious, and the lynx also looks great, I think I may prefer the lynx out of the two. The combined mode is obviously what I'll display him in and it looks great, very happy with how it turned out. My only minor complaint is that the transformation really isn't that hard, infact I'd say some of the smaller ER releases are more complex. But, it looks magnificent. Also, the wings are attached via mushroom pegs and one of mine keeps falling off, so may have to make that a bit tighter. Everything else is great! The base mode was also a surprise, I rather enjoyed looking at it. Bit too small to be a proper base, but looks the part. Only problem is the shuttle doesn't seem to peg in very well to the base, so it relies on that little ramp to prop him up. But, again, overall this is fantastic and I recommend to anyone.

Greetings Seibertronians! Do you feel that your collection is missing a certain magnificent specimen? Well maybe these photos will help you make your mind up!

These in hand photos of Earthrise Commander Class Sky Lynx come courtesy of fellow Seibertron user, LeAwesome1, who purchased Sky Lynx from UK website In Demand Toys, and thanks to the magic of one day shipping, it arrived today!

The photos show off all the modes his majesty can make, from his humble bird mode to his spectacular launch base.





























LeAwesome1 also has this to say about Sky Lynx, gathered from his time with him so far!

Have these images convinced you? Have you already pre-ordered? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I don’t really see a difference between Starscream and Thundercracker. Maaaaaaybe a smirk on ‘Sceamer? Skywarp’s shouting face is lowkey annoying, but I can get over it. Definitely need these and the inevitable Coneheads.

Is he being released across the UK already? Pulse has him listed for September. If so, that's really early.

Hasbro finally made a transformer I want to buy. If I can make it work with my masterpiece collection I'll buy it.

Interesting, but what I’m curious about is what the Alternative Universe Prime is. I think from some leaked images that it could be a remold of the Siege Ultra Magnus/Galaxy Upgrade Mold, but what Prime fits the mold the best?

I really don't want this set to be scalped to the max, especially when there's been a frustrating lack of Siege Skywarp but Thundercracker and Starscream are still around.
