New Images of Earthrise Ironhide, Prowl, Ramjet and Dirge

Cool. Tail coats are coming back into fashion! Thanks Ironhide!

I'm still getting Snapdragon, mainly to complete the pair. even if 1 of them looks crappy, to me they still go together and I'll have them both. Now, if both of them look like **** then of course they will not be staying.

I love apeface, (just be careful with his shield) the connection of the beast head to the ape body isn't the best, but it's solid once together

Possibly the latter, considering that Elita has been on Hasbro's radar more strongly the past few years.

Although the decision to make her an ER Arcee retool obviously came relatively early in ER Arcee's development.And is the reason the mold has the issues it does; they seem to have made it a total shellformer for the sake of making the robot body easy to swap out for a different one.
Ugh... It doesn't suit Elita very well (it would be better as Ariel) and it came at cost to Arcee's quality as a transforming to... Blagh. To the complaint box!

Ramjet and Dirge look fantastic. If they do Ratchet out of the Earth mode Ironhide I’ll probably get it.

Is it just me or does Dirge look a little surprised with the open mouth? ER Skywarp is definitely shouting, but Dirge looks more like he's shocked or surprised.

Budget probably

Excuse me, sir? Do all of us Lycanthropic Americans look the same to you? For shame!

And in return, I would like to point out that even Lycanthropes can be american centric. Zerowolf resides in the UK, and no, he is not an american werewolf in london.

Sadly I'm just a British werewolf in Teesside

England is like the werewolf homeland.

I can't wait to get Ramjet and Dirge, but I hope we don't have to wait too long for Earthrise Trust. I'm going to want to put Ramjet and Dirge on my display shelf ASAP, but poor old "Classics" Thrust will look out of place with them, like they brought him to "take your kid to work day" or something.

Taking another look at Earthrise Ironhide, he looks to be MASSIVE for a deluxe, thanks in part to that new removeable car roof piece (compared to the Siege version). He can't be THAT hollow inside either to bulk up his surface area. I wonder if Ironhide is coming in a set with Prowl so Hasbro didn't have to decide on a deluxe or voyager price point for him.

Just got my Doubledealer from Amazon and I have to say he's a good figure. Not perfect, but definitely a fun figure to mess with. Also, I was looking at the map section and realized that the inner packaging for him has the Mercenary faction symbol despite the Decepticon branding on the outside, and Autobot badges in the promo art. Makes me wonder if Snapdragon's packaging is the same, cause wasn't he called a Mercenary at NYCC?

Remold them for what? They had the same guns as all the other Decepti-jets on the show.

Must be the angle. He looks like he's the same size as Siege Ironhide to me.

Did the toys have different weapons? I can't remember their weapons being different now that you mention it
