It's been quiet on the Earthrise front ever since the line was launched all at once. Well, we are now in the year's second quarter and wave 2 is rolling out. Thanks to TF fans Nicholas, we now know that the wave 2 deluxes are out in the US. Optimus Prime and Shockwave were fund at a Walmart in the East Coast, the sighting was posted on the Botposing Facebook page along with an in hand image from Darren. Unlike wave 1, these are not fully new molds. Optimus Prime is a partial of Cyberverse Optimus while Shockwave is a straight redeco. Luckily though, Shockwave is not essential for the build a figure since he comes with an alternate robot arm.

I'm hoping for a Warrior class figure to make up for this.

Quick correction to something I missed. This figure is really far better than it should be.

Sure he lacks some articulation points (bicep and thigh swivels mainly) and his bike mode isn't perfect (his arm placement could be better in bike mode), but he sure is fun! He has really stiff joints, a slight ratchet in the knees, a clever transformation and the sidecar weapon mode is really cool, like I'm surprised this is the figure they chose to pull this gem out for. Colors and sculpt are top notch, too. This figure is just a few points of articulation away from being a Deluxe and I like him a lot more than Legacy Arcee et al for sure.

I was impressed with everything you mentioned too, especially the tight joints. He's good enough that I don't think they're planning to redo him in Deluxe, and though I haven't posed them together yet, I think he'll be a great complement to Twitch.

I too got my Thrash in as well. I tell you what, he is pretty neat. I enjoy him. His bike mode is pretty sweet too. He makes a good companion to Twitch.
Now, bring on the next 3 siblings!

He somehow replied inside my post, read the part above my name.

We have reviews below to see if they these are up your alley.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Finally, Earthspark Megatron is here to complete the wave 01 Warrior Class figures from the Earthspark line. I have to say that this figure is just as good if not a little better than the Deluxe Class version of Megatron. Transformation is simple and the weapon gimmick doesn't interfere with the figure at all. There's a surprisingly large amount of articulation, including waist swivel and ankle pivot. I highly recommend this version of Megatron especially if you're passing on the Deluxe Class version.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Of all the Warrior Class figures I've looked at for the Earthspark collection, Terran Thrash stands out as the best. The transformation process is seamless and unlike any other motorcycle transformation, I've seen before. Similar to the other Warrior Class toys, the weapon feature does not obstruct the robot's movements and enhances the overall experience of the toy. If you are considering purchasing just one Warrior Class figure from Earthspark, Thrash should be your top choice.

Grimlock looks good, they did a good job with the retool there. Glad they didn't go the Shockwave route there.
Now, bring on the other 3 Terrans!

Oh well, we needed a new bonehead-family Dino alt that wasn't remolded from a Raptor, though I have my fingers crossed that he briefly considers a shark and a hyena first.

Yeah, that's just a pointless redeco of a mold that I already have at least 6 times.
All that sexy, sexy silver won't change my mind.
I s....swear...

Wasn't it spoiled a month or so ago in a news article, that they revealed Jawbreaker's alt in an Earthrise promo?

Yup, you can blame French Nickelodeon for that

Damn, I really want him. I started looking 2 days ago, no such luck at my stores yet. They are filled with Skywarps

I really appreciate how the weapon gimmick is so well hidden, it really took me a moment to find it. Hopefully, this shows up at retail sooner than later since I know Jawbreaker is on a lot of fans lists.

I've always wondered when will Hasbro do the Primus' Thirteen in CHUG scale/style. God I'd be extremely happy to have a shelf section with only the First Primes.
The rumored Vector Prime got me hyped. But I doubt that'll be the first of the 13 any time soon... UNLESS the new Skybound TF comics come out with the reveals of all of them. That storyline will be EPIC if it becomes reality.

As for height, he's "short Deluxe" (yes, I know he's a Warrior), I'm guessing about the same as Earthrise Cliffjumper. The smallest Deluxe I have on my desk right now is Bumblebee Movie Cybertronian Arcee and she's taller than him.
