These too are from a removed ToyWiz listing.Nemesis Primal wrote:Found another new render on TFW but the site isn't letting me post it because it doesn't like the resolution: The Military Patrol is Bombshock and *looks at notes* Growl? The orange one, I don't collect Micromasters sorry. Both look like new molds, and Growl has a 5 mm post/handle visible above his head, so weapon modes are most likely still a thing. I'll keep trying to get it posted so people will actually believe me.

Bumping this as it was a penny short and a post late.
But a Space Bridge would play in nicely for the idea of Earthrise. To get to Earth you could fly an Ark, or take a Space Bridge. *shrug*

I see a lot of differences. Looks like the actual alt mode nosecone is in his chest and does not form the shoulder stacks in bot. His hips and thigh swivels look completely different.
Upon further scrutiny, I fully agree. I was in a hurry when I made that post. I now think that this screamer is a mix of classics and masterpiece engineering.

The new bots shown were Hoist, Grapple, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Ironworks, Soundbarrier, Starscream, Optimus Prime as well as some Micromasters.
Here is what we learnt from John Warden, concerning all these new toys.
The new gimmick is shields that can connect to base bots to make a bigger base.
While there will still be Battlemasters, there will also be armour based bots that will help build the bases with clear pieces. Soundbarrier, a new character, is who was on display to represent these new bots.
Earthrise Prime shares parts with Siege prime but has a different Transformation. The matrix is removeable and he has silver hands.
Cliffjumper comes with the giant cannon he had in the G1 show for one episode. He fits in Optimus' trailer. Cliffjumper is his own mold and not meant to be Bumblebee down the road. You can add modular elements to him (same with Hoist).
Hoist can tow characters or attach to your mini cities and his robot mode can become a bridge like he did in G1.
Astrotrain will be rereleased in Earthrise packaging since he (and Omega) work with the new base building system.
Deluxes like Ironworks are called Modular Battlestations and in earthrise we will be getting the classic bases from g1 turned into partsforming bots.
Check out our images below, and let us know what you think of these new figures in the comments section below! And stay tuned for more New York Comic Con coverage on Seibertron.com!

This is actually ONLY PARTIALLY CORRECT. There are still Battlemasters, but the only one they showed and talked about is Battlemaster Soundbarrier, who does what WJ said. That translucent blue shield piece comes with him, NOT Wheeljack. You can see him in the picture, he's the little white and blue guy standing in Prime's open trailer.

I heard that every bot comes with extra pieces to build bridges.

John Warden:
[***] and he has silver hands.
Why?
Saw more pix from the show of the new Optimus Prime, they dropped the ball with the deco this time. Grey hands, crotch, intake, biceps and inner lower legs. Missing yellow on the pelvis. And the face is painted like the MC model. The whole thing makes him look cheap IMO. Maybe I should hold off for an edition with a better deco? (I miss pre brand-unification Takara.)
And he does have wheels on his lower back like Studio OX!

You say that like its a bad thing.

Looks like Hasui is using a lot of his tricks here. Overall the designers have really stepped up the main line. Some of the figures even come with accessories that they had on the show, just like the MP line (like Prime's Matrix, Cliffumper's cannon, etc.)

I meant it as a straight up fact, really.
But I do think it's time they made at least one CHUG Prime and Starscream with the wheels and nosecone completely hidden.

Might buy Hoist for nostalgia reasons. One of my best friends (who I haven't been in contact with for years... ) had a reissue of the G1 figure. It confused the hell out of me because I had grown up with the Unicron Trilogy, so seeing something made of die cast and removable hands was something completely alien to me. Took me several years to figure out that was Hoist's original toy, actually found out thanks to this very site.
...I'm rambling again, aren't I?

Was really hoping cliffjumper came with a pretender shell. he does look like the new MP bee in some ways which must be the justification charging deluxe prices for legends sized figures (hey if they can get away with it for leaderclass why not).
Will wait for better pics of wheeljacks alt and if the whites match each other unlike redalert/artic megs. Edit* nope, looking like classics is the winner at the moment for car mode.
Primes hands will need repainting, might wait for a better paint version. Edit*the earlier photos looked better with the blue legs and no arm stripe. It's something that's going to take a bit more than just painting the hands for it to look right
Who is the white car hiding in the hangar?

New Battle Master "Soundbarrier" who becomes a shield and if army build...a ramp? Blast effects are still coming in Earthrise.

Better look at Voyager Starscream. His back looks pretty similar to the '06 Classics Deluxe. #NYCC2019 #NYCC19 #Transformers

Some closer shots of Wheeljack. One of the goals of Earthrise is to draw from the cartoon models as much as they can. #NYCC2019 #NYCC19 #Transformers

you mean the grey bit on the building? kinda does look like it, yeah. makes me wonder how they cobbled that setpiece together.

The main line is getting an MP-like Hoist before the actual MP line.

This is basically the same toy except that it's a brand new mold, and likely has better articulation.
I suspect the arms/hands collapse in a similar fashion to MP-39 Sunstreaker before they're flipped into the torso like Henkei. And the feet fold down instead of up, it seems. Was hoping ten years of engineering would fix some of the things I didn't like about the old mold.

Looks like I will be retiring the Gdo Cliffjumper... Just not the Prime Hammer. Because what goes with a gun that makes things brittle as glass better than HAMMAH TIME
For being G1, I am glad we are getting some lesser used Guys. We dont have a lot of Grapple or Hoist Figures i will be getting both...
And possibly Screamer, depending on how many Seekers we get...
And Prime
And the Base Dudes
And the Micromasters
Would anyone like to buy a Kidney?

I'm actually going to be selling many of my previous CHUG figures (including the seekers) to fund these. There is still market for them.

Well, hopefully we do get a Bumblebee from this line at some point. Cliff's new mold reminds me a lot of MP-21, I dig it.
Starscream's looking really good too, I might be picking him up.

For once, the earliest rumors of this line have barely come out just before this line's unveiling, none of which have mentioned a Megatron.Decepticon Stryker wrote:Have there been any rumors of an Earthrise Megatron?

He would turn into a cigarette lighter in the shape of a gun, modern day size class restrictions
