Thanks to Sabrblade and carytheone, we now know of some nice new photos of the upcoming Earthrise Transformers toys. Cliffjumper and the Micromaster 2-pack Bombshock & Growl, who are mass retail figures in Hasbro's markets, will be TakaraTomy Mall exclusives in Japan and the Takaratomymall site has new images of these found at the following links:

https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810163244/

https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810163756

We have them all below for you as well. We can see the figures using the modular base components as accessories for themselves. We also see some cross compatibility with Cliffjumper and Siege effect parts as well as how he can use his back as a shield. But before we get there, we also have a video from PrimevsPrime of him playing with some of these new Earthrise toys.

They are beautiful! Bring on Earthrise! I am so getting a Starscream, Grapple, Scorponok and the bases, mircos and heaps of others. Earthrise is going to be a great series!

That seems odd, doesn't it?
And this makes exactly 1/2 of the known Japanese line to be TTM exclusives in that market.


Which is quite curious. I can see no real rhyme or reason for it.


We got something similar with Hasbro. No reason really for Siege Ratchet and POTP Wreckgar to be walgreens exclusive and not intergrated into the mainline instead. I know wreckgar wasn't an exclusive in Japan, they must have been saying the same about us. It's just having retailer exclusives for the sake of it, both companies are guilty of it.


I think it was less the fact that Takara's making some figures exclusive that aren't here that's confusing people, and more the fact that half of the entire line so far is exclusive over there.

Those null rays on Starscream are some of the best we’ve ever seen.

Cliff with the shield it’s like a whole new Reveal the Shield theme here :lol:

That cliffjumper looks absolutely amazing. The proportions are great and definitely looks better than a remold of MP Bumblebee 2.0.

Wow, I can't wait for that fig!

I am still really excited for what this Cliffjumper does, but I dont think this will dethrone GDO as bestest Cliffjumper figure. I love the bazooka and ski modes, and the legs remind me of the Classics Bee, and for me I like the synergy of the two. That car mode makes me think Windcharger though

Cliff, Prime, and Soundbarrier, plus part of Ironworks, there's a lot of shields in this line and it's only the first wave.

It's nice seeing confirmation of Ironworks doubling as a Weaponizer. Looks really good, too!

Cliffjumper looks really nice, I'm digging the alt mode and accessories a lot. Also I maintain he'd look great next to TR/LG Bumblebee.

Base mode, robot mode, and an armor mode. I love this new flavor in the play pattern it feels like something in the spirit of Micronauts. Can’t wait to see the other basebots. Imagine a Voyager class Micromaster base. So much potential.

You know what would have been a cool gimmick on Prime's trailer? Lenticular printing, so the design would change depending on how you looked at it.

Probably going to headswap cliffjumper on to roadburn or just use him as is next to MP Bee. Likely means I'm going to have to pick two up during sales.

Fair warning, but Deluxe Earthrise Cliffjumper is quite a bit shorter than either MP Bumblebee figure. The difference in height between them is more than that of the difference between TR/LG Bumblebee and this new Cliffjumper.

Is he smaller than deluxe studio series jazz?

I think a cool figure that could be done in that style could be an Armada Overload figure that comes with a Micromaster designed like G1 Overload that serves as the Minicon component and have the main body/trailer as a Modulator/Weaponizer with a base mode and armor/weapon mode. I think it would be awesome to see the character return, especially in a line where he could become weapons for everyone.

Plus his Armada figure could definitely be improved in a G1 Armada-With-Knees way :lol:

If Cliffjumpers head looks a little oversized on roadburns body I think a chibi robot look will actually work for him.
Orig MP Bee is around 1-1.4 inches taller than legends figures, compared to TR/TL Bee it is about an inch though obviously size effects proportions not just height. Im thinking Cliff is somewhere in the middle of the two, making him a bit out of scale for either.

Cliffjumpers feet and legs will fit pretty well with new MP Bees feet and it will be easier to have a MP Bee in a stance to reduce his size rather than putting all my legends figures on some kind of bases but the size might not be that noticable in hand/on display anyways with the legends figures.

I am excited the most about Cliffjumper. Although I think he should be just a bit taller he looks great. Something about Starscreams really tall shoulder nubs seems off compared to his head.

:MAXIMAL:

Could you make a comparison with the Studio Series VW Bumblebee?

Unicron, Megatron, a Quintesson, Doubledealer, somebody, Shockwave working on something.

Optimus, Wheeljack, Hound, Trailbreaker (in his Thrilling 30 body?), Arcee, Sideswipe.

Somebody, somebody, Bumblebee.

Hound, Sideswipe and maybe Shockwave appear to be the Siege design/mold. That could be good news that they aren't playing on re-releasing them in new "earthmodes".

Doubledealer! Yes! Honestly, the rest are kind of cool, but they're not exactly must have for me. But Doubledealer having his actual chest design would make me think that he'll actually be Doubledealer, not a prepaint

I feel like some times, the artists have to start so early on these illustrations, that without the actual reference (i.e. the currant toys that are in production) they have to turn to other things for reference, like older designs. It's happened before, but I'm drawing a blank for an example. Of course they could have used Hoist for ref, but... ?

Also, zooming in, anybody have a good look at the small figure behind Bee?
Kinda looks like Blur to me.

A lot of people are saying Blur, others are saying Smokescreen, but I can almost see Ramjet's body type. Of course, that could just be me stretching for reasons to believe that the Coneheads are happening :lol:

I just had a thought: What if we got a Blitzwing either in this part, or the next part? HasTak could then repaint it into the Overcharge drones that worked for the Quintessons as part of the Generations SELECTS. It'd be a great army builder for the Mercenary faction, assuming the Quintessons are going to be in that group, not Decepticons

Let's follow a chain of bad speculation and behind Bee is Blurr, the mystery bot in the bubble has a vague Kup silhouette. With this new artwork and some of the Siege characters, I'm starting to get a TF:TM roster vibe.

I think that's Soundwave. Assuming the sides roughly correspond to factions, that would be a Decepticon or Mercenary.

Ah, maybe. I assumed the bot was trapped in something, but maybe that's a space bridge.

Something a little disturbing to point out. Is this a sign of Sideswipe getting reformatted to an earth mode?

Leakin' Lubricants!

A leaked image of the packaging artwork from the upcoming and highly anticipated Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise has appeared online. The image advances the story of the War for Cybertron tale as the Transformers saga moves from Cybertron to Outer Space to Earth.

Image

The left side of the artwork features Unicron on the top, followed by Megatron, a Quintesson Judge, Doubledealer, Shockwave (up-to-no-good, might I add) and some Transformer in a bubble or something circular. On the right, at the top is the Decepticon's ship the Nemesis attacking the Autobot's Ark, followed by Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker, Bumblebee (in a very Volkswagen-ish looking body), Trailbreaker (oddly in his Thrilling 30 Generations body), Arcee and Sideswipe (possibly in his SIEGE body).

Finally, the Ark is shown crashing into the Earth. As most of you know, the Ark being attacked by the Nemesis and then crashing into the Earth is one of the key story elements to the Transformers mythos, which was first told in Marvel Comics first issue of "The Transformers" as well as the first episode of the G1 cartoon pilot "More Than Meets The Eye Part 1".

Since Hasbro's packaging artwork generally is intended to promote the general story line or theme of the products available in the current product line-up, we are assuming this more-or-less confirms several leaks of rumored figures such as Doubledealer, Arcee, and Quintesson Judge. Fans have also speculated that Bumblebee would be making appearance in Earthrise, though some fans were disappointed that he didn't show up in the SIEGE line in his Cybertronian flying saucer mode (not to mention Wheeljack and Jazz for that matter).

Fellow Seibertronian carytheone pointed out that the Transformer behind might possibly be Blurr and that the one being experimented on by Shockwave has a vague "Kup" look to him.

With Toy Fair 2020 just a little over a month away, make sure you stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest Transformers news as more information keeps spilling over the top, into our news, and on to your device screens!

It also appears that the new packaging artwork has hidden messages for Transformers fans to decode. In the image below, a hidden message reads "Micron" below some Cybertronian text to the right of a Transformers head. It is currently unknown what the significance of that message means at this time.

I agree, and hope you are correct.
I am curious about Trailbreaker looking very T30 though. He's like Arcee - happy with what I got, but open to be swayed.
I feel like some times, the artists have to start so early on these illustrations, that without the actual reference (i.e. the currant toys that are in production) they have to turn to other things for reference, like older designs. It's happened before, but I'm drawing a blank for an example. Of course they could have used Hoist for ref, but... ?


That certainly sounds plausible for Trailbreaker and Arcee, but then how to you explain Bee? He appears to have VW type feet, which could come from a previous figure, but he also has obvious 5mm ports on his forearms and shoulders, which I don't think any previous Bees have had. It could be them sort of using Cliffjumper as a model and then switching out the head and feet, but as you mentioned, why wouldn't they do that for Trailbreaker?

Note that the Ark is partially covered in the grid pattern too.
Ah maybe, but just looks like highlights to me. The grid could be just a cool art effect as Arcee is also "griding out" (or would it be in). Seems odd they it's only applied to them and that Arcee design is pretty Cybertronian. #rampantspeculation

Yeah the Arc isn't covered by the grid. Though I'm intrigued by the news that Cary is a staff member :lol:

hopefully they aint going with shockwave made the dinobots frak up again, would be fine with him converting some hapless bot into a predacon though (or the bot in a bubble could be from another transformers generation. or sadly just soundwave). Can't really get any hints at what Earthrise megatron is at his point :(

T30 trailbreakers virtually a siege figure as is with the holes on his arms, just needs holes in his feet but it will be surprising if they dont use a retool of ER hoist. Wondering if Hound will get an earth mode too now and how/if minicons are going to be handled.
