Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Wave 1 Deluxe and Leader Figures Found at U.S. Retail

- Brainmaster: The Titan Master gimmick is perfect for that
- Super Mode: The PotP Leader Class, as said before
- Combining with another into a Brave-style "Great" form

It's the last that may prove the hardest to do, look at how Legends Godbomber and God Ginrai turned out. Not impossible, but may be too big for his own good.

I think that's something Earthrise could handle very well actually. We've almost seen proof of concept with the Weaponizer gimmick. Only thing is, that if they do go for all three gimmicks, I'd actually say it should be a Commander class two pack of leaders like CW Devastator. That way the joints can be beefed up to hold the weight, while not being too tight on a hollower limb. The Commander price point might have enough of a budget that would allow for three solid figures that combine together

And the hunt begins....

Wheeljack and Cliffjumper are looking like must buys for me

Although, I'm mostly making that assumption because of different theories I've heard about why Apeface has that material. Even if Snapdragon does have that material, I'm fine with it. Apeface having that didn't ruin the figure for me in anyway

After fiddling with my figure for a couple of months I don't think they could have made Apeface without that material considering how some of the tabs work. I'm just really, really, really glad none of the Siege figures, and hopefully none of the Earthrise figures, have had any of that rubbery stuff like Titans Return Mindwipe and Krok has, the tip of one of Mindwipe's wings broke removing him from a storage container while in bat mode

Speaking of which, I took my TR Wolfwire out of storage the other day and sure enough, that back panel was broken at the hinges.

Haven't checked mind wipe though I didn't have any problems with the classics/rts junkticons so I don't think I'm as heavy handed/unlucky as some. I did just risk breaking a ss vw bee folding windows away that the instructions avoid folding despite the bits having a hinge.

Be careful with that SS Bee, I do the same and I think I spotted some stress marks in that clear plastic.

Here's how I imagine D-Max and his collection.

I love that toy so much

I really want a black or purple decepticon repaint.

Where in Erie? I'm on the hunt. Thank you!!

Found the Micromasters in mine (Erie,PA)

These images are starting to pop up all over Facebook.

I am not to sure that these are the real earthrise figures, they look more like concept arts. I am also pretty sure that the micromasters are there G1 figures and Wheeljack is just pulled from some other media (card game maybe?)

I am also disappointed that we are getting another large autobot in the form of skylinx, give us more decepticons! I need a commander class armada style Tidal Wave!
