    Earthspark-named toys look like their show (imo)
    Prime-named toys don't look like their show (imo)

    This is bullshit.

    Maybe, maybe not.


    But what’s done is done.

    Not really one is meant to go with the show, the other is updates/new version of those characters and a completely different line. Different scenarios.

    I've been so busy since the convention (hardly had any time to process the photos and info), it still feels like it was just the other day.
    Just dumping some of the photos here...

    Deluxe Twitch first.

    092586.jpg 092587d.jpg 092590.jpg 092589.jpg 092588.jpg 092591.jpg 092629.jpg 092630.jpg 092631.jpg

    I had it in vehicle mode too, but didn't realise it until I got home that I didn't take any close-up photos... just the photos of it in the display case. 092652.jpg

    Even though I'm not allowed to show all of the back of the packaging, this toy should be in American stores in about 2 weeks time, so it should be okay to at least mention the names of the rest of the Build-A-Figure toys...
    1 - Bumblebee
    2 - Megatron
    3 - Terran Twitch
    4 - Optimus Prime
    5 - Shockwave
    6 - Grimlock
    7 - Nightshade
    As noted on the packaging, the first five are "Early 2023" while the last two are "Late 2023". 092508.jpg

    Neat and Grimlock and Shockwave are interesting to say the least (guess they are/might be in the show). Also I thought the Shockwave was actually Soundwave?

    Tacticons.
    On the first day they only had Optimus and Bumblebee, so that's why most of my photos are only of those two. They brought out Megatron on the second day, so I didn't get much of a chance to look it over.

    1-Step.
    They only had packaging for Optimus and Wheeljack, but Optimus wasn't out on the first day so I didn't get any close-up photos of it. They also had 1-step Bumblebee out of packaging, but it was also only out on the second day too.

    Warrior - Optimus Prime and Elita-1.
    The interesting thing here is that Elita-1 has the altered allegiance logo too, not just the two leaders Optimus and Megatron. I guess the reason will be explained in the cartoon.
    They also had Skywarp, but since it is just a redeco of Cyberverse Starscream, it wasn't a priority for me, and I didn't get time to do any close up photos of it.
    Elita-1 was quite fiddly for a Warrior class toy, especially trying to figure out how to get the gun arm folded under the vehicle mode.
    They didn't have the Optimus toy that was out of packaging on the first day, so I didn't get to play with it.

    Elita looks pretty good for being a Warrior Class.

    Deluxe should be much better.

    Indeed, with how decent the Warrior looks, I look forward to seeing the Deluxe version of her.

    Much appreciated for sharing your pics @griffin-of-oz . I am also adding here that Bumblebee comparison shots you posted via Ozformers Facebook.

    Ozformers

    Transformers Earthspark Bumblebee toy comparison.
    As seen at the recent Sydney Oz Comic Con, these are the new Bumblebee toys that will be released in America in November, and in Australia in February.
    (the new cartoon starts November 30th in Australia on Paramount+)
    This shows the four different Bumblebee toys that will be released in wave 1 of the Earthspark toyline, in both modes - Tacticon, 1-step, Deluxe, Spin-Changer.
    That's a Bumblebee toy for almost every size class in just the first wave, leaving Warrior Class left, which will surely have a Bumblebee toy as well at some point.
    (note that the largest toy is not transformed properly as it doesn't have the shoulders in the right position - they are pointing down when they should be pointing forward, like on the second largest toy)

    Wheeljack looks terribly unpainted in robot mode.

    Kinda underwhelming that they used most of the same characters they used for the cyberverse baf lineup. Nightshade is a fembot right? That should be exciting at least.

    I would assume so. It’s hard to see but the last image of character in this looks to have wings so I wonder if this Nightshade is a seeker?

    Nightshade is not a Seeker, their name was in the Season 1 episode synopsis list, they are
    another Terran Autobot born on Earth that will join the cast later in the season

    Wait I just realized I'm thinking of nightracer. Kinda tired of seekers for bit especially after cyberverse I feel like the market has been oversaturated with them.

    Kinda sucks that we won’t be getting a deluxe Thrash. I was looking forward to seeing him the most. Hopefully the series will continue and we get more deluxe figures in 2024.

    It’s just weird. You would think with him being one of the main new Autobots created for the show, he’d be in Wave 1.

    It does, It sucks that there’s no deluxe Elita 1, cause she’s the one I wanted.
    Hopefully.
    Especially since Twitch is getting a Deluxe.
