It's strange. Looking around at some of the different preorders for this figure, some of the pics have yellow eyes, and some of them have blue. And yet, all of the yellow-eyed pics are of CG renders rather than the actual figure, so it's uncertain as to which eye color the figure will have. But it is just a straight reissue of the Earthrise release, then the eyes ought to end up being blue.
Hasbro literally took a bunch of random stock photos from 2019 and threw them on the pre-order page, none of these are new images. You'll recall the figure went through like 4 different iterations,
starting with this CGI ahead of NYCC 2019 and then the yellow eyes and gray fists in the display at NYCC 2019. It wasn't until a lot of complaining that they settled on the final colors in pretty rapid turnaround.
I'm still trying to figure out if it's a direct reissue of the Earthrise figure, packaging and all, or if it'll be in united packaging because Pulse lists it as "Transformers Legacy United Leader Class War For Cybertron: Earthrise Optimus Prime Action Figure". BBTS and EE both say it's a rerelease, but Pulse seems to be saying United packaging.
