>>7992522Overall, wave one of Earthrise is a far more mixed bag then Siege. The G1 animation angle is going in really hard, and the sacrifices to achieve that, or in Wheeljack's case fail to, may make this section of the trilogy a harder pill to swallow.
Overall, Hoist is an absolute must have, Wheeljack is okay if nothing you've seen immediately turns you off, Cliffjumper and Ironworks are dependent on how much you are willing to accept their faults. Ironworks is a partsformer that turns into a customizable accessory for other figures, and Cliffjumper is really small and has a really under-engineered transformation to achieve an accurate bot and alt mode.
I'm not disappointed with these guys, but hat's because I got them on discount. Full price is just a little too hard to swallow this time. Earthrise so far doesn't seem like a line I'm going to be too crazy on completing like Siege. We'll just have to see for now.
