Arcee, Fasttrack, Sky Lynx, and Scorponok!

Hey Sabr are you able to pull the images out of the article? Seems like they’re locked.

Got em!

This is all stuff we suspected would happen and I'm glad it did. Fasttrack in particular makes me very happy.

I am really not too keen on the entire back half of arcee's car mode just being a separate piece you remove for robot node, even less that it is being called a "hoverboard" it makes a very good looking robot mode feel cheapened imho

as for the rest though, all amazing. Can't wait to finally have a proper Sky Lynx and Scoponok

Arcee looks...alright. The hoverboard idea is good in theory but just making it the rear of the car mode sucks.Rest of the figure looks alright, though I'll probably stick with my LG version.

Fasttrack looks awesome! Also great to see him made, as now Slammer is the only Titan companion with no toy (yet).

Scorponok's robot mode looks alright but the base mode is lacking and the tail on the scorpion mode is feeble.

Sky Lynx looks pretty nice in general. Not a big Sky Lynx fan but he does look good.

Ah so that's Arcee robot mode, looks better then the mp Is Fast Track not a weaponizer then?

Arcee and Sky Lynx are god-tier

That's sad but true

I'm digging her head/face sculpt, looks better than the T30 to me.

EDIT: I'm starting to think Arcee's hoverboard doesn't integrate into bot mode

ZeroWolf wrote:Ah so that's Arcee robot mode, looks better then the mp Is Fast Track not a weaponizer then?

He is, the RiD type to be exact:

WFC-E35 Decepticon Fasttrack bot mode also changes into a "staff that can be held by Titan Class figures."

The Scorponok middleman figure would look much better color-contrast-wise if his face was gray or silver or any other color different from the rest of his head.

Like this:

I just hope the color on the actual toys are good. Remember Apeface in renders vs toy?

Also, I like how Sky Lynx's shuttle mode is named Magnificence

I dislike Arcee she is a step back from the previous version(Takara), which is far superior. The other stuff looks fantastic.

Autobot N wrote:Also, I like how Sky Lynx's shuttle mode is named Magnificence

I didn't even notice that. Also has the NASA logo on it, that's interesting.

These are good. I wish Arcee's alt-mode back half would form a shield or actually collapse a bit more.

Well that's the laziest Arcee design I have ever seen.

Can't wait to see the size comparasion between Scorponok and the others titans.


Also,if they had to call Arcee's hoverboard,a "hoverboard",they could at least make it change shape into something more distinct from the car mode.

I can already see a peg on what looks to be a rotating joint, could yet be used as a shield

Considering shields/ramps are this lines gimmick, I'd be shocked if it cannot be used as a shield. I'm just hoping it can be pegged into the backpack. I'm starting to suspect it cannot.

Well Acree is disappointing, T30 verison gets to stick around.

Fasttrack and Sky Lynx look good, definite buys.

Scorp will also be a definite buy (I have all the other titans, so I'm not breaking ranks now), but I am a little disappointed by a few items. It looks like there are only 2 ramp connection points, I was hoping they might throw us a bone and include at least one TR type ramp connector so you could connect him to Trypticon. Let's Hope Hasbro is smart and makes a battle master that has a TR and WFC connector.

The other thing about Scorp that is bugging me is the scale in the base mode photo. I'm really hoping that was either a weird angle or some mixing and matching of digital renders that weren't in scale with each other, because he looks pretty small as compared to the deluxes in that render.

Well I see a peg hole at the base of her backpack, likely it can peg back into her backpack - it'll just be really long

That Sky Lynx puts the CW version to shame! (Not saying the other isn’t great) That, my friend, is how to do a Commander class figure! Definitely getting him.

Welp, I'm excited. Arcee's fine, but Sky Lynx and Scorponok are incredible! Fasttrack turning into a spear is interesting, but it's agreat way to give Scrops a weapon in Titan mode without having to figure out a way to make it conceal. Hope we see more than just these guys during the event though. Snapdragon would be awesome to see, as would Doubledealer

Sky Lynx, Scropinok, and Fasttrack all look great! Arcee is not really any better than the T30/Legends version from five years ago. In fact, the Legends version is probably still the best version, what with it's cartoon perfect paint applications and the fact that it doesn't parts form and all pieces are integrated into both modes. I may actually pass on Earthrise Arcee. It's a shame, because the head sculpt is gorgeous and the robot mode looks very good, but the paint apps are a step back from the Legends version, and that "hoverboard" represents worse partsforming than Earthrise Cliffjumper.

All in all, this whole line comes across like mini masterpieces. Amazing G1 sculpts, proportions that make 3P look bad, gimmicks that don't ruin the toys, top notch posability (ankle tilt anyone?), unified compatibility and playability and combinability.

There has been a LOT of thought and care and craft put into this line, and I'd love to send a personal thanks to the Hasbro and Takara teams.

Regarding Arcee, I'd wager the hoverboard can be left on her back as well. Knowing it's impossible to pull off what you get in the TFTM movie without some kind of compromise—because of, well, physics—this is a really great design that looks truly fantastic in both modes.

Arcee is too sexual for me... :p for those who have a trampling fetush only...

Fast track big yes.
Skylynx big yes.

Scorponok... I kind of expect titan classes to need hasbro employee.. Erm.. Third party upgrades, but even with upgrades it will have some awful flaws still.

Robot mode: really needs the chrome bits to beef his legs up
No double guns on his rear shoulders. No gun. The ankle hollows... Egads.

Scopion: laziest scorpion feet ever? Doesn't look like the feet separate or have articulation let alone the old movement gimmick. Lack of double guns to go rear. Mandibles look bad.

Base mode: lack of orange parts/lifts/missile flaps and plug in dishes etc.

Still a buy as Fort max needs him the same size but really dissapointing and hope we get some other options from other company's as every other Scorponok seems to have more about them than this. I do like Zarak but it needs paint.

Just had a thought: could Arcee possibly be retooled into Windblade? Just a new backpack and a few other tweaks and I could work.

Crud, I spent the last two hours typing up my predictions for reveals, and then this pops up. Ah well.

IMO, Arcee is a disappointment, but an expected one. But she manages to disappoint in ways I wasn't expecting, too. The back of the car doesn't do much, it (mostly) just detaches and sits there. Her chest is also fake, meaning she has absolutely no alt-mode integration outside of maybe her forearms and feet. At least she looks better than the MP, and has heel spurs.

Scorponok and Fasttrack look good, but those Scorponok pictures show some... very conflicting color schemes.

Sky Lynx looks absolutely incredible. All the features he should have, an actually good base mode, cool looking. His shuttle mode is even named Magnificence, and he has NASA logos, and those are the kinds of little details that I love to see. Absolutely nailed Sky Lynx.

Source?

I'm pretty sure Will is actually incorrect on this.

Yes, turns out I am wrong. I found the release date and description from an entertinament site quoting Hasbro:

War for Cybertron: Earthrise is a new line of figures from Hasbro and will be launching March 1, 2020. In this line, you’ll see Battle Masters, Micromasters, Deluxe, Voyager and Leader figures. The first Battle Master figure will be Soundbarrier who will be 1.5 inches tall and run for $5.99. Next, let’s move to the Micromasters where there’s a Hot Rod Patrol 2-pack that will include Daddy-O and Trip-Up. There’s also the Military Patrol 2-pack with Bombshock and Growl. Both of these 2-packs will cost $9.99. Third, the Deluxe figures. These stand at 5.5 inches and will cost $19.99. The Deluxe figures include Hoist, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, and Ironworks. Fourth, we have the Voyager figures that include Starscream and Grapple. These will be 7-inch figures running $29.99. Finally, we have our first Leader figure: Optimus Prime. For $49.99, fans will get a 7-inch figure of the Autobot leader.

Anyways, all these new toys look good. Will probably get Arcee, always curious as to how they pull off that design.

It seems like the compromises for Scorponok are acceptable—shaving off weight and parts count by omitting the large gun, partner, small dishes etc. We know 3P will step in there.

With Fasttrack being issued separately, we are pretty close to complete. Hoping they can include some of his accessories with other characters like they have done with other characters. (Megatron part with Soundwave for example.)

Wait, what now?

Compromises? Now you have me slightly worried. The omission of weapons is fine. We are getting Fasttrack as a Weaponizer. Also, the Upper thighs and crotch area look like heavy redesigns of Metroplex/Fortmax. I could be wrong, but I just want Scorponok to be the full 24 inch height he should be.

Ditto, I only remember Soundwave coming with Soundwave pieces... Unless they're talking about a different release Soundwave?

Missed that about the sky Lynx shuttle name! That's awesome.

I think gothsaurus means the extra pistol Soundwave came with. It makes a good shoulder cannon for Megs if you mount it on his back.

For me this Arcee is better than ever! Really love how she looks and her accessory, Skylinkx is the perfect figure for me, I hope they make as a commander class Overlord too

Exactly. Soundwave's gun is clearly a pistol barrel with a sight on it—intended to peg into Megatron's back for a more G1 look.

Fantastic stuff. So glad Sky Lynx can split into two just like the original, and Scorponok looks amazing. Arcee and Fasttrack are pretty decent, too.

The Decepticon Titans always look so much better than the Autobot ones! That Scorpy looks like it will be one hell of a great figure!

All 4 of these look like they're worth picking up. Arcee is definitely an improvement over the T30 figure. And I'm glad Scorponok didn't come with all that extra stuff.

Don't get me wrong. I DO want all those extra bobbles and bits. BUT I'm okay with buying them separately if it's what needs to happen to drive the price down.

Most importantly, I'm praying they have done what's necessary to have Scorponok match Fort Max height exactly. Accessories and little buddies and bits... we can that deal with later.

Will get all of them. I liked the generations sky lynx but this one eclipses it of course. Pity re the back pack for arcee but i have a feeling it can be used as a shield. Fast track is great though i hope the guns turn out a bit more orange to match skorponok’s.

And Skorponok looks great, hope he's big enough to give fortress tough opposition (Have a feeling he will be similar in size to omega). Hope the ankles are sturdy too.

One pet peeve from the original toy i was hoping would be corrected are his shoulder mounted turrets. They were always depicted as being able to move up and down. Alas they still appear to be just flat guns. The original also had four of them. Im sure 3p accessory makers will have a few upgrade kits for him as he seems to be missing his orange gun too...

I'm absolutely sure the "missing" parts are to drive price down. Maybe they will show up in other toys as accessories—or as convention exclusives. The big gun might be a candidate for that.

Well, I think I'll get all of these. Scorpinok because I have Fort Max, mostly. Fastrack to "complete" Scorpy. Skylynx is everything I want from that figure. I had Return of OP when I was a kid so I want a good Skylynx.

I was happy with Arcee for a hot second until I noticed the entire back half of her vehicle is a stand. Oh, "hoverboard", sorry. It reminds me of a KO of Gen Arcee where the entire back half comes off to make a better robot mode. The bot mode looks nicer than Legends, but overall it's kinda worse, ain't it? But I may get it anyway. Since I'm stupid like that. And it'll make Arcee look different than Nightbird and Lifeline, which is a plus. But I've made a promise with myself not to get TFs I don't really like anymore and this just might fall into that category. I wish they had made this version a Headmaster. At least then it would bring something new to the table - a Headmaster G1 styles Arcee.

We had a titan master arcee (though the tm wasn't arcee).

We haven't seen Scorponok blast effect pieces yet but I'd rather his shoulder guns be correct than have the effect parts. I think this is probably the worst out of all the titans but its likely due to me wanting it the most out of them all and having the highest hopes.

I am glad to see Arcee has less spindly proportions than her T30 predecessor. Backpack aside I am very happy for this.

I am warming up quickly to Scorponok but he isnt an immediate must have like OS was.

Sky Lynx, they really stuck the landing. I will need that ASAP.

Surprised to see Fasttrack was not a Cog style weaponizer. I could see them pulling a Roller out of that if they wanted to. I kinda hope they don't though.

I'll just put the cockpit part of Arcee to the side. I like that they tried with a gimmick to make all of her useful, but I'm good - that means between this and Masterpiece I might be getting two Arcee figures this year. Fasttrack looks so good, I might even want Skorponok. Also, love the 'sized-up' Headmaster on Skorpy...probably won't be getting it, unfortunately. Sky Lynx, though. Definitely a get. No question.

blackeyedprime wrote:We had a titan master arcee (though the tm wasn't arcee).

Wasn't G1 styled. And it's a pink Blurr. Blurr makes for a decent enough Arcee, but it's still just Blurr.

An you know what they say about having high hopes I quite like the look of Scorpy, if I had the space for Titan Class, he'd be one that I'd get.

Poe's law is in full effect right now. After the storm that was the Flame Toys Windblade discussion, I can't tell if you're kidding.

So, to update my purchases list:

Will buy:
Arcee
Sky Lynx
Ironworks

Maybe:
Runamuck (need to see him first)
Wheeljack
Leader Prime

It is an odd feeling...since I got back into TF toys with CW, I don't really have a lot of duplicates. Some people get the New Optimus & Megatron for each line, I understand that. But other than CW Optimus Prime, I really don't have a proper Optimus. Earthrise will fill that space for me. I also don't really have a Megatron at all, still waiting on that one...But of all the figures, who'd have thought I would have 2 of...it would be Sky Lynx I like the idea of the CW one, to give him an added boost against Predaking (even though they made Predaking a Titan Class... ) But having this Commander Class Sky Lynx really does look nice, and of course the Base mode adds to the ever expanding Cybertron City!
