For my tastes I think Cliff does scale well enough with Bee and Brawn in robot mode but is way too big for T30 Bee/Cliff. In car mode he is much big than all 3.
Thank you, sir! You have done at long last what no other earlier reviewer so far has with Earthrise Cliffjumper: given us comparisons shots with Titans Return Bumblebee! They look great together! Cliffjumper and Bumblebee are nearly the same height as I had hoped! Cliffjumper fits right in with the other Autobot Minibots in the Legends Scale!

For me, the highlight of the figure is the modular weapon that starts off as a Bazooka and ends up being skiffs and thrusters to hover on water, like in that episode from the G1 cartoon. While some may not see the value because of Cliffjumpers' small stature, this is a solid figure and a great start to the Earthrise line.

"Hate to rain on parades (and I know nothing about the toy side of things), but I do like Cyberverse and FW and SS appearing in the comics is all me, not Hasbro. I'd love to see new toys as much as anyone, but this isn't necessarily a sign of that."

I don't worry too much about the delivery date. The deluxe is that are showing up now are the first boxes off the first container. To hit port. And if you notice most of the delivery sections are in the Western third or on the coast. If they happen to show up for me here in Indiana by March 31st, which I doubt, then I can always cancel the Amazon listing. . If they don't, but at least I'm guaranteed the deluxe's. Poor grapple

For size comparison, I have him with Seige Spinister and Universe Ratchet. Unfortunately that is all I have with me here in Virginia. The rest of my collection was moved back to Missouri.
BTW, Cliffjumper is really cool.
Enjoy,

Hope I can find another this weekend.
Edit: No luck finding a replacement today, so I took a pair of glass pliers (basically regular pliers with a wide flat surface that can grab sheet glass without scratching it) and was able to work the hip joint loose and break the extra glue from the crotch piece that was holding it in place. Crisis averted for now and I didn't scratch up the hip in the process.

Ah man, shout out to my my younger bro for always checking the toy aisles and sending me pics of the Transformers he sees. This guy was found in a Walmart somewhere in Phoenix. I didn't even want Grapple but I got Earthrise fever and he's one of the figures we really haven't seen in hand yet. So glad I got him! The head is classic G1 cartoon, all big headed lol, and the transformation is pretty sweet. I don't have Omega Supreme so I don't know if the grapple really does anything with the ramps like it says it does but it looks pretty cool in both modes to me.

Honestly the main thing I was hoping to see was that rumored Doubledealer. I'm sure we'll see it at Toy Fair, but I was hoping to see some Earthrise stuff at Wonderfest because if I remember correctly, we saw Siege grey models there. I mostly liked seeing the details that were present on the molds

NYCC 2019, as the TFWiki sourced that from:
It missing may seem odd, but it's not unprecedented: PotP Snarl was shown with a weapon that tabbed over his Dino Mode head (based on Pretender Monster Bristleback's), but the final release didn't come with it.

That sums up my thoughts as well. Really good figure, don't regret buying at all, but not thrilled about the price point. The old $10 Legends price would be too low, but the $20 deluxe seems a little high.

If it makes you feel any better, I was looking at it and thought "Wow, can't believe Hasbro didn't paint the otherside. I know they do that with Nerf, but Transformers? Seriously?"

That is pretty interesting because I can confirm the Earthrise micromasters and deluxes all still use the ties.
I wonder how they will handle Astrotrain. The Siege release not only used the ties, but also used one in a way I had never seen before. A single tie going across his waist and through both fist holes.

You're right, I got the Hot Rod Patrol and it did have the plastic ties. Grapple though had no ties and the plastic encasement was molded in a way to keep the figure and accessories in place but it felt like I had to apply to much pressure to pop the figure out. The accessories wasn't a problem but when pulling Grapple himself out I was worried about the hands and shoulders.TF-fan kev777 wrote:aronjlove wrote:I noticed they stopped using the plastic ties so I don't need my wire cutters anymore when opening a new figure

I think it may be a figure by figure thing. I've seen a mix of column A and column B on various figures from different lines. For example, the body is tied down, but the legs are held in by the plastic shell.aronjlove wrote:You're right, I got the Hot Rod Patrol and it did have the plastic ties.

I wish they'd go back to the raffia like ties they were using for a while. No tools and very little effort required. Also reusable if you were into keeping the boxes.

I'm also looking forward to the obvious upcoming retools: Inferno from Grapple, Trailbreaker from Hoist, and Sunstreaker from Wheelack. Wheeljack himself I'm a little indifferent towards because of owning the Generations version, although he does look nice.
Posted by TF-fan kev777 on February 11th, 2020 @ 2:56pm CST
First up the micronasters. The military patrol is definitely better than the hot rods.
The hot rod patrol is really just meh to me, and both seem like a worse verison of the Hyperdrive/Blackjack mold. Also, I find it weird that they put 2 figures with exactly the same transformation and just different shell bodies in the same pack.
The military patrol on the other hand is great. They did enough to Bombshock to not make him feel too much like a 5th use of the Big Shot/Red Heat mold. Growl has become my favorite of all the non-cassette micromasters. I really like the removable gun and that it has a 5mm peg instead of 3mm.
Now for the Deluxes, all of them are solid, but not spectacular to me.
Ironworks is just as expected, good looking robot mode, decent base mode, and just enough transformation on some of the parts to not feel like a lego set. The one disappointment is the height of the base mode as compared to Omega Supreme, but that is probably more on OS than on the Earthrise bases. They just made the connectors on OS too high to work with any of the bases directly, so I anticipate a run on Soundbarrier once he is available. Armorizing mode is pretty fun, especially if you combine weaponizing (from Siege) and armorizing on the same figure. He's probably my least favorite of the 4, but still not bad at all.
Next up would be Hoist, he is pretty fun, and I like his towing capabilities in truck mode. Truck mode is a little weird with all that space under the hood. Nothing wrong with it, I'm just not used to that much open space on the underside of a car/truck mode. The transformation is decent, but a bit fiddly to get the back end all tabbed in. I'm looking forward to whatever they do to the back of the truck for the Trailbreaker remold.
Wheeljack is also pretty solid, great headsculpt, and a fun transformation once I freed his left hip from being glued to the crotch piece. Yep, mine wouldn't budge out of the package, but I was able to break the bit of glue holding the hip joint in place. I really like how they handled the square bottomed chest window and the 2 small curved parts that hide in his legs to give the right curve to the windshield in car mode. I also really like how the shoulders become the back of the car and the arms tuck in to make the back portion of the side of the car.
That leaves Cliffjumper as the best of the bunch for me. This is a really good figure, even with the deluxe price for his small size. I'm not thrilled at the price, but I also don't feel ripped off by it either. He is much more solid than the previous legends minibot figures, but still scales well with most of them. The BGF is awesome, especially with the added bonus of jet-ski mode for the car. The partsforming for the back end doesn't bother me either, the rest of the transformation is great.

Transformation is a bit fiddly but once everything comes together you end up with a nice and tight truck mode. While not the best of the Wave 1 deluxe figures, Hoist fills a niche that might just be what your collection is looking for.

That is pretty much where I'm at right now on him. Hes a great figure and I don't feel cheated by the pricepoint; but, I am leery if they try to remake all the minibots in this way. The BFG does a lot to help make up for the small size, especially since the most recent legends figures didn't come with any weapons. But really my biggest hesitation on the minibots moving to deluxe class is that it is going to take deluxe slots away from other figures. How long are we going to have to wait for someone like Horribull or Fangry if Hasbro wants to give minibots like Huffer, Warpath and Gears an update first.

For Siege I triple dipped on all 3 regular weaponizers (and got one of each Powerdasher), I loved the gimmick so much. That was my original plan with the micromaster bases, hence the the 2 Ironworks figures. I have a third coming from Hasbro Pulse that I got with the 20% off black Friday coupon. I'm on the fence on whether I'll keep him or just return him for full price to Target on the receipt for these 2. For some reason they just aren't as much fun as the weaponizers were, not bad, but not as great to me.
For the 2 in the photo, the one connected to OS is in his normal configuration, except I removed the ramp that goes to the ground and moved it to side to be able to reach OS. This is where Soundbarrier will end up once he make and appearance at retail. The second one was my own tinkering around.

Well fellow Seibertron user and YouTube reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, has gotten his hands on Hoist, part of the first wave of Deluxes from the Earthrise line. Find his thoughts and the embedded review below!chuckdawg1999 wrote:Whereas Cliffjumper is on the smaller end of the deluxe spectrum Hoist is a figure that's on the larger end, it's a big beefy robot. Unlike the 30th anniversary figure, Earthrise Hoist borrows more from the classic G1 design, for better or worse in the case of the arm flaps. Transformation is a bit fiddly but once everything comes together you end up with a nice and tight truck mode. While not the best of the Wave 1 deluxe figures, Hoist fills a niche that might just be what your collection is looking for.
Do you agree with this review? Is Hoist on your list of toys to get? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
What is up with this guys reviews always being featured on the main page? Nothing against him, but we have had reviews of the figures long before he posts most of his videos. Like I said earlier, nothing against him, I am just curious.
He is local and in house

The A.I.R. Lock system is also a great way for Hoist to test his alt mode's towing capacity.
