If you have Facebook, here is a trailer for the actual show!

Finally New Voices for Prime and Megatron. Plus Bumblebee actually speaks

Wrong thread, guys.

My bad, didn't realize there was a dedicated thread to the show

Well to be fair that does just look like a thread for a trailer, which is a little redundant. Plus this is a WFC thread...

This is the Earthrise toy thread. That other one (which is several pages long, btw) is the Siege cartoon thread.

Gotcha The link only went as far as the news page, which I assumed was everything. It is odd how you often have to take such a circuitous route to get to an actual thread

I know it's the convention lighting but it kinda looks like sideswipe is blacking himself up to become his g2 version o.O

I thought that. It looked like someone dipped the front end of Sideswipe in something... unpleasant

Live from Toy Fair 2020, we bring to you even more official images for upcoming Transformers products, this time for the Generations line and War for Cybertron Earthrise!

Up first we have a deluxe class that includes a very varied collection of bots, which includes Arcee and Smokescreen as standard bots, Airwave as the 2nd Micromaster base to be given a robot mode and named a Modulator, the first ever Alicon figure, and Fasttrack as a weaponizer/modulator type bot for Scorponok.

In the voyager class size, we have a new Earth mode Megatron who is a retool of his Siege self with new parts to resemble an Earth tank. We also have a Quintesson toy that turns into a base/prison mode complete with a cage large enough to hold Micromasters. Finally, we have Snapdragon, who finally complete our G1 Headmasters set from The Rebirth.

The larger classes include Leader class Doubledealer, who has all 3 of his original modes plus new base-compatible pieces to join up with the growing number of base/city bots. His powermasters will be sold in the Selects line as the Soundwave Spy Patrol Part 3. We also have a glorious Commander class Sky Lynx, and the Titan class Scorponok with Lord Zarak himself.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

The silver paint on ER-Megatron looks nice.

The figure is very similar to Siege overall but I think I prefer the detailing on this one -- closer to the cartoon. But again with the tank. I hope you can fake a decent gun-mode.

Smokescreen looks better than the Siege version, too. Both the deco and mold, like the MP.

Allicon actually has a tail, that's good.

How long till figures usually go on sale?

Most of these official images, we've already had. And I have to say, Megatron's renders don't exactly flatter him. The actual photos from the toy fair show him in a somewhat better light, he looks like he's actually silver in those instead of bland gray. Still doesn't have that much going for him, sadly.

I'm sort of underwhelmed by the Earthrise reveals this event, there is some cool stuff in here, but I am not near as stoked as I thought I would be by them.

Am super happy Doubledealer will have his Powermasters, that is a huge deal for me.

Well, I'm stoked for Snapdragon, Scorponok, Fasttrack, Sky Lynx, and Doubledealer. I'm modestly looking forward to Airwave, the Allicon, Arcee, Runamuck, the Quintesson, and probably Smokescreen.

The Allicon looks really cool, but I have to say I'm very disappointed they didn't engineer a way to hide his robot hands in beast mode. It's pretty unsightly. I honestly expect better from Generations in 2020. That aside though, he is awesome!

Everything in Earthrise looks so amazing, it's all a buy for me. I also might have to buy multiples of the modulators and definitely multiples of the ramp bots. ouch. it'll be nice to finally have a complete trio of proper earth datsuns.

Except that you can't really count ER Smokescreen as a "Proper Earth Datsun" per se, because he actually looks less Datsun-like than the SIEGE mold. His new hood and front end make him look more like a 21st-century Nissan than a semi-classic Datsun Fairlady.

Honestly, Earthrise has a lot of good stuff, but only a few of these new reveals appeal to me. Those would be Sky Lynx, Airwave, Fasttrack, and Doubledealer. I’m royally ticked off that Hasbro squandered a shot at Prime Smokescreen.

You were royally deluding yourself if you thought that he was even a contender.

Sad but true, the rumours even said it would be his G1 self.

unfortunately for you i throw the term around willy nilly and aren't actually a stickler for accurate car forms and just wished for a mold that was more accurate than the cw mold and not crap like the classics (or was it universe?) mold

also i agree that there was no hope for prime smokescreen at all. if we see any homages at all to prime i will be surprised

I don't think the the Universe mold was crap, but the legs sure as hell aren't G1-accurate.

I nitpicked the Datsun name use b/c I'm something of a fan of Datsuns and I like the aesthetics of the Autobot cars' '80s altmodes better than I do those of the Classics and Universe modernizations.

There was mention of Sky Lynx's base mode being like the Micromaster rocket base and while it is vaguely similar, overall it is not that. I bring this up because I'd really love to see the big ol Rocket Base and hope this is not meant as a real substitute.

Liking what's here for Earthrise. If it's gotta be G1, at least there's extremely little 84/85 here. Quintesson looks fun and I'm glad they just went with a base mode instead of trying to do too much. Hopefully the Alicon can "lay down", maybe it can and I missed that in the pictures.

Really dig the little snake ramp dude. Reminds me a bit of that Headrobots kit from forever ago.

The Siege repaints do nothing for me but it's smart to get those out for when the show's on. That Mirage redeco gives me Rescue Bots Morbot vibes, at least in the alt mode.

Hot off the presses!

Hoooo boy, a lot to unpack here. The Quintesson looks great, and it's a proper Quintesson at long last. Definitely want him, and maybe even Energon Alpha Q to go with him (if I can find one!). The rest look good, with three notable exceptions.

Arcee is just mediocre. The "hoverboard" is pretty feeble and gives her a gigantic backpack if left on, also the rear of her, uh, rear is unpainted, making her look like she's wearing backless panties gone wrong.

Doubledealer looks kinda gaff too, the robot mode has some weird proportions and the vehicle mode is a bit shonky. The bird mode is awful but that's to be expected from Doubledealer.

The Alicon, YIKES. That looks bad. His arms really should have pulled a POTP Terrorcon and been reused for beast mode with the hands flipped around for claws, rather than...whatever the hell they went with there. On the plus side, he did give me and a friend a laugh; we've decided he is Blot's processor-challenged little brother, Plop. As such I might buy him for a giggle.

I mean, when I think of a classic Import car the Datsun is what usually pops into my mind.And the Siege Smokescreen looks closer to this than the Earthrise Smokescreen. I think it's the bottom grill that makes it look more like a Japanese tuner.I do like how the Earthrise figure has side mounted rearview mirrors.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:You were royally deluding yourself if you thought that he was even a contender.

Can't stop me from hoping.

If I'm not mistaken, the Quintesson's faces can spin right?

Has it been mentioned that this box says "Battlefield Rung"? I'm sure it has, just tough to keep up with all the info on these event weekends.

Also worth noting is some of the branding seems to being referring to these figures as 'Netflix series' and not Earthrise, with some re-releases from SIEGE being thrown in too.

If you are a car enthusiast and think the siege smokescreen looks like a datsun or a car... Egads. Sounds like a joke but my mum had a datsun so I just can't see it tho I'm really not a car enthusiast and thought the fairlady wasn't even a datsun until recently.
Also sounds like more of a joke... Datsun to a....Triumph...to a... Lada.

The overall silhouette is like the Fairlady's, and the way the shoulder pins are done ends up looking like the signature Datsun headlights.

I mean, it has a long front without much of a lower bumper and that rounded hatch-back look. But upon closer inspection I really hope they make Smokescreen and drop the bottom bumper. That thing is huge and sticks out. Get rid of that and the new mold would actually be way more accurate.

Anyone else getting Jazz vibes from that Smokescreen, alt mode looks similar enough and robot mode is simplistic. Soooo Hasbro get on that?

While I'm not bothered by ER Megatron and Smokescreen, I would be bothered by another Jazz. We already just got PotP Jazz who was okay and RTS Jazz is already setting a high standard.

You'd also need to change the headlights.

If they make the others, the spoiler and the bottom bumper are hopefully Smokescreen-specific. They makes sense on him, but not the others.

It definitely sounded like this is the closest we're getting to the Rocket Base for the immediate future. I'm not sure there's a middle ground between the vintage toy and the Sky Lynx base model.

Hopefully they'll remove them, I can't believe it'd be possible for them not to but it is because CW Smokescreen exists.

Consider this, the actual car whose livery inspired Smokescreen's deco:



It's a lot more accurate than you realize, other than the aero headlights, which are actually seen on some Fairlady racing cars and tuners. It's hard to imagine a more accurate alt mode that isn't officially licensed by Nissan. Now, I don't see them removing the front air dam for the inevitable Prowl and Bluestreak repaints like they should, but even if they didn't I'd say they did an excellent job of capturing the essence of the vehicle.

I know a lot of people are bummed about Arcee's "jetboard" but I notice on this pic it has little flip-out sides that the Hasbro Pulse render does not display. And the car render definitely has what looks to be wgite 5mm posts on the back and side so her feet are secured on top of the piece. Not sure if this changes anyone's mind but it thought it was cool and she is preordered.

So I did preorder some of these including the select cassettes but will most likely cancel due to the fact I will see them in stores before Pulse even gets them which if I was Hasbro I would fix. Except for the Selects cassettes. Skylynx and Scorponok I will get on Amazon around Christmas when they are cheaper.

Wow, thanks for posting this! Never knew that bit of backstory.

You're welcome. It's pretty cool what they did with the old Diaclone-based TFs. Jazz and Mirage are also based on real racecars.

Really hope they give us a completely newly molded Jazz. Def a reach, but worth hoping for. Also, would love another Warpath at some point.

I think these are due out in September. Also, be wary of that paint on Megatron, these are usually painted prototypes, I would not take these as the final deco in any instance.

ScottyP wrote:Has it been mentioned that this box says "Battlefield Rung"? I'm sure it has, just tough to keep up with all the info on these event weekends.

It was brought up by D-Max. I guess that means it's one of the extras found inside.

Leader-class Ultra Magnus repainted as Rung, with inner Voyager-class bot repainted as Rung, plus Rung Battlemaster repainted as Minimus. You heard it here first.

Seibertron now has a whole gallery with fresh new images and views of the Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise display from the 2020 Toy Fair. Here we get clearer views and different angles for deluxes Arcee and Smokescreen, Airwave as the 2nd Micromaster base to be given a robot mode and named a Modulator, the first ever Allicon figure, and Fasttrack as a weaponizer/modulator type bot for Scorponok.

In the voyager class size, we have a new Earth mode Megatron who is a retool of his Siege self with new parts to resemble an Earth tank. We also have a Quintesson toy that turns into a base/prison mode complete with a cage large enough to hold Micromasters. Finally, we have Snapdragon, who finally complete our G1 Headmasters set from The Rebirth.

The larger classes include Leader class Doubledealer, who has all 3 of his original modes plus new base-compatible pieces to join up with the growing number of base/city bots. His powermasters will be sold in the Selects line as the Soundwave Spy Patrol Part 3. We also have a glorious Commander class Sky Lynx, and the Titan class Scorponok with Lord Zarak himself.

You can also see the Generations Selects casette pack which do include Doubledealer's partners.

You can go to the entire gallery here or click on any image to be brought there. And you can click here to see all the different galleries we have for Toy Fair 2020.

Looking at Runamuck reaffirms my belief that Sunny will be a Wheeljack retool.

The Quintesson's base bits look fun.

I'll take it on faith he does the. Honestly that makes me more excited if its that well hidden/integrated into the other modes

The preorder listing on Pulse has the dino mode.

The Titan Master's legs are the jaw!

As a huge fan of the Titan Master gimmick, confirmation of Titan Master compatibility puts Snapdragon on my list.

Was anyone able to ask if Knok and Skar have any way to interact with Doubledealer outside of 5mm pegs? I hope they have slots that they can be inserted into, but if it's just pegging on, that's fine too

Nice! I'm glad that at least some of the powermaster gimmick is present, even if they've been turned into cassettes

Agreed! I was super happy to see them revealed in the live stream. That will complete Doubledealer.

I consider Prime and Getaway sort of complete since they have headmasters named for their powermasters. Dreadwind and Darkwing aren't complete since they don't have their partners. and we still need Joyride and Slapdash
