New War for Cybertron: Earthrise In-Package Images of Snapdragon, Megatron, and Quintesson Judge

Posted by Bounti76 Jun 10, 2020 at 12:59am CDT 55,145 views
Thanks to online retailer Dorkside toys, we can bring you the first images of upcoming Voyager Class figures Megatron, Snapdragon, aves the very highly anticipated Quintesson Judge! As you probably know by now, Megatron is a retool of his Siege figure, but Snapdragon and the Judge are entirely new figures- in the case of the Judge, it's the first ever figure for the character which appeared in the original 1986 animated movie! It also appears that Snapdragon will not be made with a similar plastic to that of his Horrocon teammate, Apeface, whose nearly pearlescent plastic was widely panned.

I seriously can't wait for Snapdragon to be released. Though, weirdly these pictures make me tempted to pick up a second one and try my hand at creating a Grimlock custom because the T-Rex mode is kind of similar, plus I can imagine it as an upgrade Grimlock received so that he could fly/be more effectively disguised for "stealth missions"

Dang it, I swore I wouldn't get Megatron! I already have 2 of the mold, but aside from that stupid blade/barrel "weapon" he actually looks pretty good. As for Snapdragon, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not impressed. I'll get him because I have Apeface, but he doesn't look that great. His robot mode is the best, IMO, hell6be displayed that way.

Usually, many upgrade kits are just accessories that you snap on and off. I don't know what is required to stabilise the base mode, so I'll go all Ace Ventura and talk out of my ass. So I imagine some sort of pole or tripod that can be used as a big-ass mounted gun for the other modes.

If Hasbro or Takara needs people that can transform transformers properly before photo shoots surely they don't have to try that hard to find them.

Having said that... Riotworks

Dammit - this line is making 2020 very expensive for me!

The Quints look good. Still don't like that they "transform" though. I think they could have just sold them as a twin pack with an Allicon and just had the rotating face function.

I don’t mind battle damage as much as some, but I am in agreement with those that don't like it on this new Megatron. It's very heavy and feels very out of place in Earthrise.

Wait, where is Megatron's silver coat of paint?

Just wait six months for a "special" release. Netflix or the like...
I don't think the quintesson has a rotating face, I think the faces pop off using that little tab and can be swapped. That may be common knowledge by now, but I just noticed.

I'm pretty sure the faces do rotate. What you are seeing is 2 of the faces come unattached in the packaging because it would be too thick with them attached.

Edit: "Figure's head rotates to reveal the 5 faces of the Quintesson Judge." right from the listing on Hasbro Pulse

Guess I'm getting all of those, but not multiples of the Quints because they already cost 30 bucks.

I went 3 deep on this, but ONLY because of Target's Buy 1 get 1 50% off when they were revealed. If it weren't for the sale, I would only be getting 1.

Yeah. I'm just not independently wealthy. It's great that we're getting them, but 'cartoon accuracy' costs too much in this case.

Now, there was only one in Transformers: The Movie.

I'm getting 5 dammit! I've been waiting 34 years for proper Quintesson Judge toys. Can't wait.

I think it would have been really awesome if the Quintesson Judges had packaging variants with each face prominent.

I'm waiting for the Cyberverse Quintesson Judge to go on clearance at this point. I'd like to have 5 of that figure as well, but am not will to pay $30 a piece for that one. Hopefully soon as spring products get blown out to make way for summer products.

Quintesson's a derpy figure you can tell is going to only be like by the of fans oldschool G1. This thing is going to warm shelves like crazy, I'm betting on it. It just doesn't seem like something which would appeal to the kids much due to it being some weird, lame, non articulated thing. Now to a fan of the movie, this is a non issue as its expected but to a casual fan this thing is going to be ugly and unappealing.

So basically: I love it and im glad it was made but I suspect it will not have a broad appeal to more casual or younger fans.

My thoughts exactly lol. I'm a fan of the movie but the stop on their planet is easily the slowest most boring part to me, this set doesn't have enough going for it to make me interested.

I picked up just one of that Cyberverse Quint and only one since, unlike the G1 Quints, there is only supposed to be one Quintesson Judge in the entirety of every universe. I liked the unique concept that Cyberverse came up with in that every universe gets its own single all-powerful Judge, and the toy represents the Judge of just one Cyberverse universe, while all other Quintessons in the show are the non-toy-based Prosecutors and Scientist.

This Earthrise Quint, however, I may wanna try getting more than one, like yourself. ;)^

Pass on the Quints (unless clearance) and pass on Megs (unless special repaint).
But that Snapdragon I've been waiting for it since ever. He's gonna be mine!
