War For Cybertron - Earthrise

The toy isn't due out for another 5 months, so I'm not sure how these toys get into the hands of fan reviewers so early, unless Hasbro are arranging it.

The same way people get the latest smart phones in their hands months before release. People making jack all money at the factory steal them to sell them for a bit of extra income.

I have an image of some guy leaving the factory with a scorponok shoved under his shirt

I thought they stow it up their butt hole. That's gonna sting.

I'm just trying to picture how that might work? Robot mode or scorpion mode? Actually some things are best not thought about.....

I can't see anyone slipping scorponok under a jacket either. Maybe they are early review copies, or copies used for marketing purposes? It seems strange though too to have a five month gap between waves. And remember those dates were pre-carona too. So I wondered if we'd see stock before September anyway.

Some comparison images have surfaced of the upcoming Allicon toy... both the Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions, side by side to show the different colours...



It also suggests that the weapon is going to be slightly different between the two releases.

I like both colour versions, but still don't like, or understand, why the arms were so poorly designed, so neither arm is hidden... they just stick out as unnecessary kibble.

Does anyone know what the Takara deco is referencing? The Hasbro deco is more TFTM accurate and I can't recall seeing Allicons in season 3.

I thought this at first, but it's actually being held upside down by one of them.

Also, it says in the link that "Takara Tomy’s tweet confirms that they have changed Allicon’s deco with more cartoon-accurate colors. As a result, Allicon’s Japanese colors will be the same as Hasbro’s counterpart." So it's a final version next to a prototype, not Hasbro next to Takara.

That was my thinking, but couldn't tell with the photo I mirrored.

Well that sucks... as I was looking forward to getting the campy animated deco.
