I can't wait to struggle in finding this figure like I am with the Coneheads.

I didn't see Thrust at my local Target, however I did manage to find and acquire a Runabout.

As Amazon exclusives, Ramjet and Dirge may only be available as monstrous Ebay markups at this point. A couple online sellers like TF Source had them for a few seconds, but that was about it.

Does anyone else here try their hand at custom painting? In this case, I was just applying paint for areas I felt were neglected from the factory. I would love to hear any feedback, tips, etc., as I am quite new to it.

I do it. Regular-release paint jobs, even the Takara ones from the period where they were throwing a smidge more money at it, are never going to be full-service. Painting in details that the factory job didn't cover can really do wonders for a figure. And it usually looks better than stickers over molded detail does. I think you did a good job. If you're willing to get more involved on what you've already done, I'd suggest painting the tips of the shoulder weapons silver:
A bit more involved, but worthwhile in my opinion.adamage1 wrote:Finished my custom paint applications for my Earthrise Smokescreen, and I think it turned out quite nice for my first custom attempt. I may also try to paint in the tail lights, but that’s a bit more involved, so I don’t know.

I think being the kids line du jour makes it more of an A-List line than Earthrise is.-Kanrabat- wrote:william-james88 wrote:Yup, in a year where we have an arcee for each of main lines, the best turns out to be cyberverse.
I'm still amazed of all the gems the Cyberverse line hold. It's supposed to be the "kid's" line. Some Cyberverse figures being superior to their Generations counterpart was clearly unexpected. Especially when the superiority is because of genuine goodness instead of being the lesser of two evil.

Whoa I hope I can score a Thrust figure at a few locations that might have him.

I finally played with ER Snapdragon. Way more simple to transform than Apeface and all 3 modes are pretty damn solid. So at last, my G1 Headmasters VS modern headmasters is finally complete, if I don't count the Titans.

Honestly, if it is anything like the Seeker two-pack, there will be plenty in the stores by the week of Christmas or just into the new year. I remember the mad rush in trying to cop the Seeker pack and finally getting it then a week or so later I saw four on the shelf and they hung around for a couple of weeks.

Found optimus on retail for 30%+20% discount, so i caved in.
Putting the accessories on optimus as subtle upgrade form works well in my opinion.
As for the trailer,
I tried to use it as shield mode after seeing it works pretty well on astrotrain's tender. Obviusly this looks nowhere as elegant.

Would work well against a "incoming main Canon Blast!" scenario.

Was it the only figure on sale? And where was the sale?

Just FYI, in case somebody hasn't mentioned it yet (appologize if it has), optimus's wheel butt is just connected via clip, so if it bothers you that much, you can just unclip it.
Resulting in cleaner back.
The wheel kibble can then attached under the trailer, via one peg connection (circled below)

No, the other earthrise figure are on sale as well. This is on indonesian retail however, as i am not indonesian, and the discount only apply today, as part of voting day promo, so i'm not sure if this info is useful for this forum.

Not really but I do find that interesting since I am a rather big fan of indonesia. My favourite spot is Lovina on Bali.
Glad to know Indonesia gets the Earthrise toys.

Oh, i've been to lovina before! Nice place, and not as crowded as kuta, so it feels calm.
Regarding our retails, we always get every transformers toyline here, albeit considerably late compared to US.. That being said, wether we get every complete wave from each toyline, is totally different case.

Honestly, I think it would be better for designers to just leave Optimus' front wheels in place, and have them on hinged struts a la Cybertron to permit outward movement of his hips. And to form the sloped sides of his abdomen (if they absolutely must have those) out of the front fenders. The bumper could stay in place too, also hinged. Be a lot cleaner in terms of both looks and transformation.
Has anyone stripped the paint off of ER Optimus' front windows? I'm curious as to how he'd look without it.

I got my Battlechargers.
I'm so glad these guys are a lot more readily available nowadays.

My Paradron Medics set came today, I really like Ratchet, especially the vehicle mode. I don't even mind the riot shield/boogie board all that much, because it adds some extra bulk and a unique look to the ambulance. Not mch to say about Lifeline, it's just green Arcee, but I do like the little extra paint detals like the stripes on the sides of her head. I came close to losing her gun twice while I was transforming her though, because it's clear plastic and difficult to see after you set it down somewhere.
