Greetings all. Courtesy of our friends from down under, Ozformers has posted images from their toy fair this weekend on the Ozformers Facebook page! A multitude of items were on display here, showing off product from all the major Transformers lines, including Earthrise, Studio Series, Cyberverse, Botbots and even Masterpiece. The most interesting image to note here is the Sky Lynx display which included the original G1 Sky Lynx next to his new Earthrise figure! This is our first direct comparison between these two "magnificent" specimens, giving us a good side by side look at the old and the new. Earthrise Sky Lynx appears to be even larger than the original with a darker shade of blue and red to go along with all the bells and whistles of modern engineering. Sky Lynx would be pleased.

We have provided all the images from the Ozformers Facebook post for your viewing pleasure. Give them a look!

Are you excited about all these new releases coming down the pipe? Does this magnificent new Sky Lynx tickle your fancy? Let us know in the comments down below and keep it tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers needs!

Finally Earthrise showed up at my Target. Cliffy and Ironworks were the only ones on the peg. Hoist is their wavemate, correct?

Target also had the Siege battlemasters at 30% off, and they had Singes and Rungs.

My bro came through for me today, while out in Litchfield, AZ he found ER Optimus and Soundbarrier. Apparently there were also two ER Astrotrains. Just opened them and took this pics but I am ridiculously happy with Soundbarrier. He literally does nothing to transform but lay down while his shield bridge flips over but I dig the play style. Definitely gonna do much more with Optimus tomorrow.

The colors may not quite match the G1 toy, but they're a pretty good match for the G1 box art:

(Also, "not the exact right shade of blue" seems like a fairly minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, but maybe that's just me.)

The blue doesn't match the toy particularly well, but it's fairly close to the cartoon.

Anybody do much pre-ordering on Target? I did a preorder last week and the auth charged dropped from my account last Thursday. This morning it is back. Figures ain't shipping till September so this has me confused and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar. I also got charged by Hasbro Pulse for Cliffjumper so hopefully he'll be in hand soon.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, CyclonusG1 has informed us that Symths Toy Megastore in Longton have recieved shipment of Voyagers and Leader Class figures from Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise. In the picture attached you can see Voyager Class Starscream and Leader Class Astrotrain. This means it's likely that other Symths Toy stores through out the UK may start to get them in!

They're finally trickling in to my area as well. If anyone wants an Earthrise Prime, I can get if for you at cost plus shipping. Or loose for $45 shipped in the US.

Can you do just the Optimus figure without the trailer, for ~$25 without the box?

Loving grapple since I shaved down his pegs, wish he wasn't sooo 1984, but I can deal; makes me super hyped to (hopefully) get this guy someday :PRAY:

So, yesterday was the approximate ship date for wave 1 of Earthrise from Pulse. Has anybody heard anything? My 2 remaining pre orders (Starscream and Grapple) are still listed as unfulfilled. Just curious.

I only have Ironworks left on pre-order and the charges on him just went through today. My guess is he will ship tomorrow. I have often gotten the ship nitification from Fedex earlier than the one from Hasbro.

Nice digibash!

And I imagine it's a treat to have a Grapple with a better crane boom and non-ornamental hands.

Heh. Yeah, literally while I was typing this, my order status changed to paid.

Cant talk for pulse, but it was the same day for amazon canada and they were delivered that day. My new Grapple holds together much better than my previous copy, which turns out was a dud.
