Considering that the're re-releasing certain Siege toys as Earthrise (e.g. Smashdown and Astrotrain), I'm wondering if this is Hasbro's way of saying, "Look, we know we gave you guys little to nothing of certain Siege products so this is our way of making up for it."

Yours are the first photos posted here, but we did have two sightings posted here yesterday - at a Toyworld in Victoria, and on the Uncle Pete's website (which would also be getting their stock from Hasbro Australia), plus another Victorian Toyworld sighting posted on our Ozformers facebook page last night.

Good price for the leaders. Off to Toyworld tomorrow with fingers crossed.

Does this mean we missed out on Siege Apeface? Any word if he will be repackaged like Astrotrain?

Likely, sadly. I'm glad my pre-order from BBTS showed up this week. Expensive, but saves me the hassle. I hope, for your sake, he DOES turn up locally.

I reckon there’s still a chance... but doesn’t look like a lot of room with what we know so far of Earthrise voyagers:
Starscream earth mode
Grapple
Doubledealer (? Could be Leader?)
Snapdragon
Megatron
Quintesson(?)
And likely an Inferno and either a Thundercracker or Skywarp (or other seekers)
