New Pictures of Earthrise Cyclonus Test Shot, Earthrise Thrust and Possible Earthrise Soundwave

As te french say "Le DOPE!"

Maverick will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

Thrusts legs in jet mode yeuck not sure what the gun barrel*type thing photo bombing the pic is, could be a Blitzwing not that one is needed. * prob megatron, photo looked purplish on my TV.

Cyclonus might be studio series, that or the final earthrise toy will have ten holes drilled into him and greebling added. I think the wings look a bit too stubby/off but cyclonus is one of those toys where having fifty variants of him is okay. Def going to be out of scale with magnus but hey ho.

Topgun... Where as I give less than a flying duck for Topgun it's going to be cool to have a transforming tomcat and hopefully it's actually a decent toy on par with VFs *ungly hinge lumps on the top of jet mode might not bode well. Don't think I need another jetfire but it would be hard to say no if there is a repaint.
I'm all for a days of thunder transforming nascar and obviously maximum overdrive stuff.

These look great!

I guess I'm glad thy aren't stringing us along with the Seekers. Give me all the main ones.

Cyclonus has been a top pick for me for a long time. It's times like this that I miss a different paintjob from Takara so I could have one be him and another be his clone, but it's fine.

I don't normally do crossovers, but I'm a sucker for planes.

Soundwave - Shoulda never bought Siege Soundwave. Or Siege Megatron.

Well Ectotron was based of CW Hot spot (with heavy retool img of course so anything is possible)

I don't think that's Earthrise Soundwave or a retool, I think it's a straight redeco of Siege Soundwave, and corresponds to that Walmart listing before. The "red" stands for "red eyes."

You can clearly see the Siege landing gear on his arm, I don't know why they would keep that in a retool. I'm guessing it's basically another wave of the 35th anniversary redecoes, just without the cel shading the leaders had.

Cyclonus looks promising, 50/50 on ThrustWave, but the Maverick looks cool! Still need Ectotron though.

I don't give a rat's ass about any and all of those upcoming "classics".

I'm all for that insane and original TOP GUN X-Over guy!
It would be totally awesome if it's a line of it's own, where they X-Over iconic vehicles from classic movies and series.

I would love an A-Team van and a Knight-Riders Kitt 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am.

Thrust looks great! Hope we see the other two. Cyclonus is... Interesting. I would like a new Cyclonus, but at the same time I'm reserving judgement until we see the paint and how that looks. Right now it looks decent enough. And part of me thinks maybe Soundwave does have some retooling, specifically around the chest. But I don't really need a new Soundwave

Cyberverse Thunderhowl

Cyclonus looks like an updated version of the Universe mold. Hopefully this means having two working hands. Depending on Soundwave's vehicle mode, I might get him. As of right now he's a pass like Megatron unless I can get them at a discount. Thrust looks okay, he's exactly how I thought he would look. Nothing special there.

Anyone else think Cylclonus' gun looks similar to one of Hot Rod's?
