Unicron in the background.......does this mean a titan class figure....or is this the Haslab?

Haslab. I believe Hasbro has stated they won't be making a Titan class Unicron besides the Haslab project. Don't quote me on that though.

Doubledealer is the one thing that that art work excited me for, the rest just made me go meh

[NeonPrime]

VERY COOL! Here's hoping we get the rest of the 1984 line up as well as some more of the '86 movie cast AND that they are general releases. I really hate it when main characters are hard to find exclusives while the obscure ones are warming pegs.

So, I take it Hound, Sideswipe, Megatron and Shockwave are getting retools/new molds? Bleh. Talk about rehashing the dead horse.

i think the only one of those 4 that getting a new mold is megatron, the rest are just there

Is it wrong that the thing that made me the most excited was seeing the wheels on the inside of Doubledealer's leg? Super happy he isn't a pretool! He also has a red and gray engine in his belly, let's see if it's just sculpted in there.

Is a little interesting that they gave away his whole shtick by sticking him on the Decepticon side.

Now what is he looking at on those screens?

And who's this guy?

It isn't one of the judge heads and it's pointing the wrong way anyway. Maybe Gnaw?

The guy being blown up might be (a) Ironworks since zooming in he appears to have a hook hand. There's another character getting thrown off the top of the Ark at the top.

To me this looks like Soundwave or SW getting reformatted into Soundblaster.

So it IS Doubledealer? Yes, YES now THAT I'm all for!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I really really really hope that they make Doubledealer a triple changer complete with Powermaster partners

[no-one]

How a little better look at that box?



Hmmmmm.... Galvatron. Somehow I'm not surprised.

With such slavish devotion to G1 it probably will be. At the very least the triple changer part.

I wabt a Galvatron as a cannon and reshell it into a bew Straxus.

I pulled a few screen grabs for a better look.

I guess this conforms those rumors we saw.

I just assumed it was another face of the Quintesson. Doesn't look like Gnaw - maybe the Allicon?

Now that I've gotten a good look at the bot in the bubble, I'm also thinking Soundwave. You may have nailed it being Soundblaster though.

So much excite on a box.

[negativedan]

Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster here. I didn't see anyone mention this yet so figured I'd chime in. Warden had previously said each toy in Earthrise would include a piece to a map. With these new box images I think it's clear that the part with the decoder is the map piece as it has the blue dotted lines to cut on. This gives us a good idea of what the overall map will look like as well. (not sure how I feel about cutting into my packaging though lol)

[bacem]

came here from the news. expecting discusssion about upcoming figure, which i found. did not expect debate about earth geographic, which i also found.

on another note, yes to doubledealer!! that guy hasn't got proper update for a long time, so it is about time.

[Stargrave]

Assuming everything having a purpose it’s not nothing Galvatron’s legs look new. I wonder if we’ll get him with Megs simultaneously in the story like they’re separate characters again, if it’s just a nod to the Unicron toy, if it’s a good enough hint we’ll get Swoop and Cyclonus. Seems so soon for all of them though.

[Emerje]

I wonder if this (rumored) Galvatron is why we haven't heard a peep about Selects Super Megatron which was going to be retooled from TR Galvatron? Perhaps they shifted gears when Hasbro decided on the (rumored) do-over. Hope so, I wasn't too keen on Super Megatron potentially being a Headmaster.

I know and its getting to the point I'm having to weight 'do I replace this figure in my collection' a mere 1-2 years after getting it, rather than say 3-5 or even almost 5-10 for people who started collecting CHUG way earlier than me. The only guy I fully intend to replace with a much more accurate figure is T30 Doubledealer, which I got for cheap way back and never really liked anyway.

Me too. If I had more display spce it would be fine, but my shelves are crowded as is.

[Microbot]

I hope to get a great new mold for Arcee, and maybe soon the Dinobots again too (but not combine, for Primus, please!)

Yes and double yes. I actually thought the POTP Dinobots were pretty cool for having a combining gimmick ( especially love Swoop), but a more traditional set of Dinobots that aren't restricted via combiner pegs would be great. If I had my way, they'd all be voyager, with maybe Grimlock or Sludge being leaders with extra accessories/armor bits.

(In a fantasy world, the Dinobots would have updated dinomodes to better reflect their looks from Fall of Cybertron, but I know the WFC line is aesthetically more G1 with a bit more detail, so that's not really on the cards I guess.)

HOWEVER, I am aware that this 80% won't happen, seeing as how we just got them in the POTP line and Hasbro probably checked them off the list of characters that they don't "need" to update. And I'm not sure if anyone else is up for updates for them so soon (?).

Change "probably" to "likely" and you've got that right.

Maybe so, but I still refuse to give up hope that we will get actual good updates to the Dinobots one of these days.
