The Eagle eyed reader may have also spotted something else suprising in that last picture, so here it is again. No word on if this is official or not but here it is again, a possible transforming maverick from Top Gun
We also have an in package look at Earthrise Megatron, who will be available at retail sometime soon.
The user has not explained where these have come from.

Something seems fishy here

Maverick will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

Cyclonus might be studio series, that or the final earthrise toy will have ten holes drilled into him and greebling added. I think the wings look a bit too stubby/off but cyclonus is one of those toys where having fifty variants of him is okay. Def going to be out of scale with magnus but hey ho.
Topgun... Where as I give less than a flying duck for Topgun it's going to be cool to have a transforming tomcat and hopefully it's actually a decent toy on par with VFs *ungly hinge lumps on the top of jet mode might not bode well. Don't think I need another jetfire but it would be hard to say no if there is a repaint.
I'm all for a days of thunder transforming nascar and obviously maximum overdrive stuff.

And awesome.
Every time I think I'm out, Hasbro reels me back in!
Posted by Gauntlet101010 on June 6th, 2020 @ 9:31am CDT
I guess I'm glad thy aren't stringing us along with the Seekers. Give me all the main ones.
Cyclonus has been a top pick for me for a long time. It's times like this that I miss a different paintjob from Takara so I could have one be him and another be his clone, but it's fine.
I don't normally do crossovers, but I'm a sucker for planes.
Soundwave - Shoulda never bought Siege Soundwave. Or Siege Megatron.

Well Ectotron was based of CW Hot spot (with heavy retool img of course so anything is possible)

You can clearly see the Siege landing gear on his arm, I don't know why they would keep that in a retool. I'm guessing it's basically another wave of the 35th anniversary redecoes, just without the cel shading the leaders had.

I absolutely need that Maverick figure to be real. I just love model jets. He’ll make a nice modern Leader-1 too

Cyclonus looks good. The g1 and generations versions are amongst my favourite figures. Never picked up the cw version,
Thrust.. will be nice to see how he looks in robot mode. Odd re the decepticon insignia being so small and not on the red parts of the wings.
The top gun cross over is cool. Not into top gun, tho the f14 was awesome etc... maybe this might one of a few interesting mix of 80s franchise crossovers After ghostbusters. Air wolf next perhaps...? Knight rider... back to the future...
Posted by -Kanrabat- on June 6th, 2020 @ 10:34am CDT
I'm all for that insane and original TOP GUN X-Over guy!
It would be totally awesome if it's a line of it's own, where they X-Over iconic vehicles from classic movies and series.
I would love an A-Team van and a Knight-Riders Kitt 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am.
Posted by Nemesis Maximo on June 6th, 2020 @ 10:55am CDT
Also, Thrust is looking decent. Probably my favorite Seeker, Conehead or Otherwise, because of his whack VTOL fans.
And if that Maverick thing turns out to be real, well...color me interested.

That's looming large on my mind too. Seems very odd. The legs are the ONLY part with apparent "battle damage" paint apps too. Did some wires get crossed at the factory?
Posted by Decepticon Stryker on June 6th, 2020 @ 12:06pm CDT
Anyone else think Cylclonus' gun looks similar to one of Hot Rod's?

And it looks like the back was remolded considering how flatly it's laying in the picture

It’s not the same damage and Earthrise Megatron’s alt mode is covered in weathering. His treads front and back have been shown to have weathering effects

Cool story bro.
Shia Lebouf steals others peoples works and tries to claim them as his own and when caught argues it should be his right to do so. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop collecting studio series.

Maverick looks killer, I’ll definitely get myself one. Unlikely as it is, but now I long for the day when I get a Fury x Transformers crossover Sherman tank with the slicked back high-and-tight Brad Pitt had in it, with .50 cal in one hand and cigar in the other.

Maybe I'm missing something, I don't see any evidence of remolding on the chest, just new paint. The front of the legs look identical to me, even down to the 3mm pegs. Maybe the outer leg panels have been modified?
I'm not sure there's any change to the backpack, because you can see he's not laying flat.
Edit: I see it now, the lower part of the chest is as wide as the upper part, so there's definitely a change, and I'm guessing the arms and shoulders aren't on the same hinge.

Interesting I wonder if there was a raid at the factory
Where did you get this picture from?

I got it off Twitter, but it's also floating around TFW. Supposedly it came from the same Discord chat from the other leaks. I can't verify any of that though because of a mix of people giving similar enough, but different stories, and not actually knowing why it's from a Discord chat, and not just a leaker leaking it to a news site like the others
Edit: I will say, this could just be a good custom though because the head and paints look just enough off for me to be suspicious, so I probably should have said "Possible leaked picture". I know yellow paint is trickier to color match, but the head has a sort of "fuzzy" quality

It's just the underside of vehicle mode. Some people are saying it's Bumblebee because the head looks different, but it just looks slightly off because of all the yellow. I can post a picture that shows both if you want?
Edit to include the picture:

Seeing as there's a little picture of Galvatron floating in space on the side of every Earthrise figure's packaging, I'd say a new Galvatron is definitely on the way.

No need to be so condescending... bro. You do whatever you want with your money, and I shall do what I want with mine.

I don't see why Tom Cruise should impact the figure, why not just see it as just a jet Transformer, it's not like Ectotron where it looks explicitly themed?
It's not like you would be handing cash to him directly.

Thanks! I'd say that looks like the back of bee's head as I think I can make out the little horns. I think.

Very likely, though I'd say it's for the better. That way the jet and robot mode can look better proportioned. Sorta like how Optimus has a fake grill section to improve both modes proportions

frogbat wrote:I kinda thought it was a reference to the tiny galvatron coming with unicron... might be a new galvatron tho I really liked the tr versions besides the way they went about the head
The head was pretty bad yeah. For me it was a little more than that, his proportions just didn't seem like Galvatron, specifically the upper body. But given the big G1 focus going on in WFC, I have hope that they'll take care to make the proportions on point. Not that TR Galvs is a totally bad toy, it was great to finally get a good representation of his character. No spaceship mode please this time.
Let's hope a new Scourge is on its way too

You're right, and I'm not abstaining from buying this as some sort of protest. It's just the fact that this is basically a toy of his character, and the thought of the guy just raises my blood pressure. Between the way he treats people and his zealous support of a cult that scams its followers and launches coordinated attacks against anyone that dare speak out against them, it would feel wrong for me to put this in my house.

I guess this means we'll be seeing versions of Dirge and Ramjet using this mold. No way Hasbro is going to pass up THAT opportunity.

Weirdly, I was just thinking of how great it would be to get a Windblade from this mold. I don't think it'd be too hard, just retool the torso and maybe feet and it'd be perfect in my opinion

Top Gun jet looks awesome, looking forward to Kou Uraki as a Transformer!
Now I want a Days of Thunder collaboration release. Or five.
