Thanks to some tips from Seibertron.com forum members Nathaniel Prime and bacem, we've got some exciting news for anyone looking forward to the Transformers Generations: War for Cybertron Trilogy - Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime figure, due out in the first quarter of 2020. These in-hand pics were found on the Facebook page of Vector Sigma. They give us some nice, up close looks at the sculpted detailing and "greebling" on the new Optimus Prime figure, as well as some comparisons shots with the recently released Transformers 35th Anniversary Voyager Class Optimus Prime, a repaint of the War for Cybertron Trilogy - Siege Voyager Class Optimus Prime done up in Sunbow animation colors from the G1 cartoon with cel shading effects replacing the "battle damage" paint apps. There is also a shot of Earthrise prime with his trailer in alt mode along side the newly released Transformers Generations Studio Series Dark of the Moon Leader Class Optimus Prime, and Road Police, one of the Micromasters available from a special Siege 10-pack released earlier this year.

The most interesting aspect of these pictures, though is the fact that we have some differences from the at show samples shown off last month at New York Comic Con (NYCC 2019). The hands now appear to be painted blue. They were unpainted gray plastic at the show in October. The eyes are also now painted blue, instead of yellow as in the initial Hasbro stock renders and at show samples. The lower square on Optimus Prime's pelvis is also now painted blue, a detail that is often missed in G1 Optimus Prime releases. What is unclear is if these paint additions are new operations being done at the factory to increase the screen accuracy of the figure, or if the person who procured this figure customized it with additional paint before posting pictures. It may be a while before we can solve that mystery, but until then, take a look at the photos below!

You can compare these new pictures of Earthrise Optimus Prime to the ones from our own Seibertron.com Galleries, taken at the New York Comic Con this past October 2017. Click on the image below to be taken to our gallery, which also includes the rest of the new Earthrise releases slated for the first wave of product!

Are you more excited than ever for Transformers Generations: War for Cybertron Trilogy - Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime? Do you think these additional blue paint applications are legitimate production changes or a fan showing off some customization skills? Let us know in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

Siege Prime definitely has the better-proportioned robot mode.

I don’t have it in hand and can’t say this is 100% the case, but the back of the head is painted the same blue as the hands and pelvis. I highly doubt a customizer would put any superfluous paint there unless it was factory applied.

They did effectively delay the figure by adding another wave to Siege, maybe they've taken the extra time to touch him up? If that's paint on Prime's hands that's some super impressive work on their part, I can't see even a hint of gray on them.

You know what? I think you're right about the head being painted, at least the back of it. This picture from the Seibertron.com galleries of NYCC 2019 shows that this was likely the case even at the show, though the hands were left unpainted then. Take a look!

I think the Siege Prime has a much better robot mode than Earthrise prime. That's a Prime I simply wont be needing.

It took a while but Walmart Canada is making a big deal of their exclusive 35th Anniversary figures in stores. Siege cell-shaded Optimus Prime and Megatron as well as Bluestreak and Soundblaster were all spotted in a new display at a Walmarts in Ontario. The picture below comes from Markville and was posted on Cybertron.ca by Primetyme.

Also just a reminder for those who preffer shopping online, Bluestreak is now up on Walmart.ca for $29.99, which is the standard price of deluxe toys in Canada (it comes out to $23 USD). For those wanting all three, Prowl is rather easy to find at both Toysrus and Walmart stores in Canada while Smokescreen is still available at Toysrus.ca.

Each mold has its own pros and cons. Siege does look better proportioned, particularly in the torso and pelvis. Plus, it hides the back wheels in robot mode. Earthrise, though, doesn't stick the front wheels on the "love handles," has no arm kibble, adds articulated hands, and has better smokestacks. I'm giving the edge to the Earthrise figure because it has the classic truck cab alternate mode, not a stylized "Cybertronian" truck mode, and it has cleaner paint apps. You pick your poison with the Siege version's paint jobs, either battle damage silver paint smears or weird "cel shaded" paint effects. If there were a version available with just screen accurate apps and no gimmicks, I'd be very tempted to keep that as my display piece. Also, looking at MP-44, Earthrise Optimus does seem to be more or less in proportion with the animation model (long legs, short torso), which may be what they were going for. MP-10 engineering cues with MP-44 proportions and Siege levels of sculpted detail and greebling all at the Voyager scale.

I'm suprised you can see any differences between the two robot modes (paint apps nonwithstanding) only thing I see in Earthrise is the windows being slightly different shape

Siege prime was one of my favourite primes and toys. Absolutely adore the figure... great robot mode and fun transformation. Something some of my other favourite primes lacked. The main critisicism on my part was that the cybertronian mode didn’t look alien enough. I ended up having a long internal debate as to whether I should get earthrise prime or not. Was taken aback at how soon and similar they were. Decided to get the earthrise figure out of fear of missing out... they will have to battle it out for supremacy of the shelf. Or take turns cos it’s prime not megatron.
And am still annoyed at how they released the cell shaded figures afterwards.

It looks like Earthrise Prime is going to have a high chest swivel like Impactor.

That is actually one of my favorite parts about Siege prime. That and hiding the back wheels in the legs make Siege Prime my favorite of the whole line. That transformation is just plain fun.

Indeed. Typically Prime and Bumblebee are always shelfwarmers over here.

Something I've been wondering about Starscream is: do his wrist swivel? All the pictures I've seen suggest they don't, but I'd like to know if anyone has evidence to the contrary.

i think it would be cool if they packaged them in vehicle mode to bring back that nostalgia from G1
since earthrise seems to be from that era

I've realized where his proportional issues lie. His waist has been turned into hips and it reeks havoc on his proportions. I think it might be possible to mod him to fix this, probably using the waist from SIEGE Prime.

Re: New In Hand Images of Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime (2043986)

you can tell that they both share some of the same molding and engineering
especially in the legs

Honestly, the proportions of Earthrise Prime almost seem more in line with the cartoon and MP-44, with the longer legs and squatter torso. I think I like it, possibly even better than Siege Prime's porportions.

We have some more stock images for the first batch of Earthrise figures. These are not renders and thus give us the best idea of what these toys will look like in hand, or on the shelves. We have images of voyagers Grapple and Starscream (who is based on the classics deluxe). We also have an extra image for deluxe Hoist and leader Optimus Prime, which look similar to the images used in Takara catalogues for suppliers. The images were found on Autobase Aichi's Twitter. We also added the previously reported in box images.

These should be out soon within the new year. There is of course the final wave of Siege to see on shelves first. All of these Earthrise figures have been available on preorder at a myriad of places online like BBTS, TFSource, Entertainment Earth and Amazon, just to name a few. And the prices are the same per size class as they were in Siege.

Might have to actually buy 'another' Optimus Prime. I've tried to stop re-buying versions of characters I already have on display, and I was very happy with the PotP one, but this one is tempting…

Too damn lazy to paint Grapple's head black eh Hasbro? That's okay! I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself. I'll just OVER PAY you & do your job for you.

Oh I get it! You're constantly pandering to the cartoon accuracy jerks as usual. You're just too damn cheap & lazy to include 2 heads? You can include multiple heads with Marvel Legends all the time but not with Transformers? You just can't include a cartoon accurate head + a toy accurate head? You're never ever going to make a Wheeljack figure with a toy accurate head for me? Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! Now why don't you go raise the prices again. Isn't it about time we start paying $29.99 for deluxe class? JERKS!!!

On some episodes, Grapple's head was yellow. Guess they picked one, but they seem to be leaning 'cartoon' with this line.

To be fair he has a point, transformers is borrowing effects parts and the build a figure ideas from the marvel legends figures so hopefully they will include multiple heads at some point.

Completely different costs and engineering. They only have that they are toys in common.

Grapple and the new Prime are looking good and I will probably picking them up. I also had the old classics Starscream so i might pick up this new one.

Re: New In Hand Images of Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime (2044018)
Posted by blackeyedprime on November 7th, 2019 @ 9:23am CST

Buyers are going to have to be careful on figure swapped returns for starscreams.

Grapples arms with the hollow/hands faced upwards in vehicle mode is a bit urk, hoping the potential inferno does it differently or that that it works with the arms rotated. I'll probably end up picking one up to display in vehicle mode next to the MP with the classics figure being my main toy bot.

Again he’s not here to have conversations, not here to be part of a community or any community. Just throw fits, blame whoever he feels like, leaves, waits for another site to post the same news and say the same stuff and leave because he’s a nut job and gets off on it.

Dengeki Hobby has even more pics of Hoist, Optimus, Soundbarrier and Grapple:

Interestingly, it says that Grapple and Soundbarrier are going to be TakaraTomy Mall exclusives in Japan instead of mass retail figures (like how they will be in Hasbro's version of the line).

I may have to replace my RTS Grapple with this one. The flaws were his open hands which you could not give him a decent weapon. Hasbro SHOULD have armed him just as they did with Earthrise version.

The great thing about RTS vs Earthrise Grapple is that he didn't look like his G1 mold much like this new mold. I'm just sayin'...'nuff said! :VEHI:

We have images of voyager Grapple, leader Optimus Prime, deluxe Hoist and Soundbarrier (who turns into a shield or a ramp). We also have images of how they interact together with Optimus wearing Sound Barrier as a shield, Grapple picking up Soundbarrier and Hoist attaching to the bases. In Japan, it seems Grapple and Soundbarrier will be exclusives since they are designated by and EX instead of an ER in their name. The release date for these in Japan is the last day of April 2020. These images come from Dengeki Hobby.

The identical Hasbro releases should be out soon within the new year. There is of course the final wave of Siege to see on shelves first. All of these Earthrise figures have been available on preorder at a myriad of places online like BBTS, TFSource, Entertainment Earth and Amazon, just to name a few. And the prices are the same per size class as they were in Siege.

Interesting. Tying them into the Micromasters, it almost looks like the specific bots are being selected for this line to suit a practical narrative.

This line really looks quite engaging, and the updated G1 styling looks great. I wish I had room to display interconnected bases and such.

I think Soundbarrier (and the inevitable retools of him) is so lazy. Like, he doesn't even transform INTO the shield, he just... wears it on his back. It's like a shellformer, only there's nothing to actually hide the fact that there's a robot underneath.

Still gonna get it, but geez Hastak, get your act together. :HEADHURTS:

Oh dear, that's a bit unfortunate - poor Grapple, I guess it was cold the days those pics were taken. :lol:

The random pic of Hoist with a silver faceplate is odd.

Soundbarrier looks awesome, pending the inevitable con repaint with purple clear plastic which will be a must buy.

Cant wait to see some con baseformers. The lack of weaponizers needs to be addressed on the con side.

I'm right there with you. It isn't like the other weapon battlemasters had amazing transformations or anything, but at least there is a little more than "fold the ramp in 1/2".
