    Soo.... what happened to the 'green' packaging that Amazon wanted? With no ties and no art, just a plain cardboard box. SS has the same box-style as siege had...

    Considering the packaging of Earthrise Starscream doesn\'t have Earth on it, maybe the theories about some Cybertronian modes being in the line still is a true theory? Or this could be an homage to Armada where the Decepticons have a base in space or something like that.

    I think that was by the end of 2021.

    So see keeping the same packaging makes me think that the two siege repacks in Earthrise wave 1 will most likely keep the Siege packaging.

    Considering that in the original show they went to Cybertron via space bridge frequently and encountered several different bots I’d say that is a fair bet. I fully expect more female Autobot. Maybe a new leader class A3. and I would go crazy for some battle master versions of the shockwave drones.

    That box sure looks spacey. Maybe we will get headmasters.

    They do look good in packaging. Very much looking forward to Astrotrain, but I actually canceled my pre-order for Starscream. I vastly prefer the amazing articulation of the Siege version.

    Interesting that the box art illustration of Starscream shows a lot more details from the Siege Starscream figure than is actually present on the Earthrise figure. Notably in the legs (look at all the details on the front of the thighs). I wonder if there were plans early on to reuse a lot more from the current mold in the planning phase when they started commissioning artwork before they decided to go the entirely new mold route for the final product.

    If you think they're indistinguishable you deserve to get scammed.

    Well, Screamer looks excellent. Oh, so does Astrotrain, I just don't see $20 more excellence.

    I think he means the artwork. It looks a lot more like Siege 'Screamer than ER 'Screamer.

    Still think that the name is dumb.

    WFC: Breakthrough
    WFC: counterattack
    WFC: Infiltration
    WFC: Withdraw

    All sound better.

    It’s weird that after dozens of Seeker figures, I’m excited about another Seeker figure. But I am. I still really like the Classics Seeker mold, and this looks like a larger, modernized version of it. That hits a real sweet spot for me.

    I think I might also be the only person who likes the name “Earthrise.” It’s unique and has a nice ring to it, to me. I find myself puzzled why so many dislike it.

    Starscream
    Skywarp
    Exclusive Thundercracker with redeco Soundbarrier and other battlemasters

    Box Set: Thurst, Ramjet, Dirge

    Generations Selects Nacelle?

    That's my hope. One more weird obscure Seeker color variant to let me justify getting the mold.

    Starscream looks great. I hope they do they 6 main seekers again to replace my old deluxe seekers. Glad I had not got the siege rainmaker set or redwing yet. I really don't care for the Tetra Jet mold at all, but Ill at least finish them off with Thundercracker.
