Listing For Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Runabout Discovered

I knew runamuck would get his friend, will be good to see the pair together.

Unsurprising, but also not unwelcome. Runamuck looks to be one of those incredibly well made, well designed figures that the recent lines have at least one of (Triggerhappy, Battletrap, the Weaponizers, etc.) so a second, black one would be ace.

As far as we know, we're missing the entirety of Wave 4, plus exclusives, and then Kingdom is next, unless we get another Siege situation where a bonus Wave 5 gets added (which is probably unlikely).

Right on. So Thrust and Runabout are confirmed. Well Thrust is basically...
Wonder who else we'll see in wave 4. ????

I initially really liked the look of Runamuck, until I saw the back of the legs...
But who knows. Man, getting or not getting MP Starscream is going to have a huge impact on whether I buy any of the many figures I'm on the fence about.
This duo is a couple of maybe's for me... I think they look pretty good, and it's cool they purposely share the same mold.

Doesn't seem all that well made to me, actually cancelled my pre-order for him through pulse, and got an email about a refund, so he might be closer than we think; his lower legs are essentially plates with knees and ankles attached to the back of them, and the fake wheels look awful to boot, not to mention they just hang around in vehicle mode, and for the life of me, I just can't see how he isn't an upscaled cliffjumper for the most part

Unless you get a preorder where you pay up front, mp Starscream 3.0 won't be out till next year as we Tigatron and Arcee still need to be released:)

pulse only charges when stuff is about to arrive at their warehouses to be shipped out, I've been using them for over a year, he's likely close

So you're telling me to go ahead and spend all of my money...

We have word that Earthrise Wave 2 Voyagers have shown up at U.S. retail! Seibertronian DinobotPrime425 found the only new figure in that assortment, Snapdragon, at a Walmart in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Included below is photo proof of his purchase, along with some nice shots of Snapdragon in jet mode.







Snapdragon is shipped with a repack of popular Wave 1 Voyager Starscream, and should be hitting U.S. retail near you... now! Online retailers are also listing Snapdragon in stock this month or early next. Happy hunting one and all!

I feel you on this... Not even so much because of the fake wheels, but dang it, these incomplete legs seem kinda jank-tastic.
I did like the idea of having a couple figures with Megatron & Soundblaster that are different from the 6 seekers I'll end up having.
These guys have been added to my 'maybe list', but the back of the legs is a shame.

I love Snapdragon's rocket mode, he looks worth the wait.

Actually, Ol' Willy-Jameson pointed out on the FFF thread that the signs point to Thrust being an exclusive rather than a Wave 4 figure, so all we have on Wave 4 is Runabout (although Hasbro doesn't usually put repaints of the same mold back-to-back in the waves, so that's...odd if that is the case).

Oh good, another new figure that will never show up in Connecticut, and Snap is the one I've been waiting for! Arrrghhh!!!

We're still missing Tracks and Skids from the '85 cars. I was convinced we'd see Tracks in Earthrise. That would also set up a Selects Road Rage, since Hasbro has been releasing many of the Diaclone decoes.

I always pose my figures from the back (I don't) or wherever they are the most hollow (also, don't).

sol magnus, word of advice: Don't get into a debate with Sowndwave76 about mold hollows. You won't get anywhere and it will just leave you drained - take it from me X.X

Looking at that pic of Snapdragon: Totally called it, he looks much better in situ than in the stock photos and renders.

I think one of the final product shots confirmed that he wouldn't have that odd white plastic like Apeface did. Still, it's nice to see it and know for sure.

That ivory-colored nylon plastic is essential for keeping certain of Apeface's parts from breaking. And I wouldn't mind if Snapdragon had it (not that his transformation needs it from the looks of him). But the renders and especially the Takara stock photos... They made the white look bad, obscured some of the detail...

So Runabout isn't going to be a Selects or Pulse exclusive, and he's not being put in a multipack with some other figures I don't want? He'll be available at retail? This day keeps getting better and better!

Genuinely surprised by this news. I thought Hasbro was all about tearing teams and duos apart and making us pay more to collect them these days. Was resigned to this being a Selects release or, as you say, being bundled with someone/something to put the price up a notch or three e.g. Siege Skywarp. If true I'm happy that one of my most anticipated releases (LOVE the Battlechargers!) will come out at the retail price point, but the cynic in me suspects there'll be a catch somewhere like only available during rare planetary alignments from a long-dead wizard in a burned-down forest @ midnight, or similar.

Here’s some more pics of Snapdragon in both T-Rex and robot mode. I’ve got between 30 and 40 of the War for Cybertron line and I’ve gotta day this guy might be my favorite. The usage of color is fantastic. They did a great job recreating the G1 aesthetic while updating it in every way. If you spot Snapdragon, he’s definitely worth picking up.

Note: On his package images he looks like he’s got more white in him, similar to Apeface. His actual coloring is somewhere in between Apeface and Earthrise Starscream.

That's definitely interesting that 5/6 ER seekers could end up exclusives...
Figured at most it would've been 2-3. I guess Hastak thought with what was released in the Siege line that trying to have 6 seekers following so closely in ER couldn't justify full retail releases of each.
If it's true fingers crossed he's as easy to get as the conehead 2-pk.

Excellent. Maybe my preorder will arrive soon. Target was projecting a delivery of at least a couple of months from now.

The alt mode is a little stark but the mold is nice. Looks to be exactly the same as the box image. Good job Hasbro.

Yesterday was my (18th) wedding anniversary, and I get paid on Thursday. BBTS has Scorponok in stock, and Hopefully if it is still there Thursday Morning I'm pulling the trigger. It's neat that Scorponok and Skylynx have been spotted at Target retail. I'd love to find them both and get a 5% recard discount at purchase, but I have little faith, even with 10 stores I could drive to, to find it actually in a store near me.

I still haven't seen the clones or Seekers, despite seeing the endcaps and tags for them.

...Are those painted cockpit details? HOLY SHIT!

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:...Are those painted cockpit details? HOLY ****!

Yes, the cockpit is very nicely detailed

My Doubledealer should arrive tomorrow, excited to get him. And hopefully Snapdragon ships soon. I'm ready for him and to pair him up with his buddy!

Ugh, I hope Target gets their stock of Snapdragons soon and starts fulfilling pre-orders

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:My Doubledealer should arrive tomorrow, excited to get him. And hopefully Snapdragon ships soon. I'm ready for him and to pair him up with his buddy!

Mine should too. Well it should have arrived today. Target used Fedex Smartpost, which hands of to the local post office and mine kinda of sucks with packages. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Get your rifles ready and put on your mask, because the hunt is on! Both Transformers Earthrise commander class Skylynx and Titan Class Scorponok have been found at Target. That's right, Target is carrying the Titans class in stores.
The specific listings are the following:
Skylynx was found at Target in Birmingham, Alabama by Edhaskel. The DPCI number is 087-16-4497.
Scorponok was found at Target in Boise, Idaho for $159.99 by Dirge121. The DPCI number is 087-16-1984.

Also, regarding these two toys, Skylynx is currently shipping from Megalopolis, and the EB Games stores that ordered him in Canada are getting their Scorponok orders in.

If you have found these toys, please let the Seibertronian community know by posting in the corresponding Sightings threads.

It's actually Idaho, not, Indiana. I tried to correct the OP on TFW as well....

Mine arrived this evening from Target via UPS, I wonder why the different carriers?

Also is this the first time we've seen a Titan at retail outside of TRU and wholesale clubs (and Ollie's)? I have a feeling he'll be showing up at Best Buy as well.

Fry's Electronics Had Fort Max and Trypticon, I went in there for the first time in almost a year not too long ago, store is almost half empty, was already on its way out, won't survive this pandemic I'm afraid, kind of sad

Can you take any comparison pictures of Snapdragon together with Apeface?

He's here!

Here’s some quick ones of the robot modes. I’ve been storing Snap’s guns on his chest cause I just like how it looks.

Looks like he had a bit of a rough journey.

He did yeah. But hot dang if this isn't a fantastic figure so far! Like seriously, I think this is the best leader (first impressions) of the entire WFC line so far

Pretty snug. Knok is in his chest at the moment, and Skar is on the back. You can only fit 1 in at a time

Ok, so more like Soundwave, that's cool. Definitely looking forward to mine shipping from Amazon next week.

Um, has anyone noticed that Doubledealer preorder is available on Walmart.com for $42.99??

I just pre-ordered for $45. Won't be here until September, but I have too much school to do in the meantime anyways.

Thanks for pics of them together, this makes me even more excited. Those purples seem to match really well!

Scorponok in store at Target, eh? Too bad I already pre-ordered mine at "the Pulse"....

This is seriously the best leader class figure I have handled outside of Studio Series since CW Ultra Magnus. I love this toy so much

Okay, I seriously want this repainted into Cybertron Defense Team Red Alert.
