Via TCCA on Twitter we have a very nice surprise to share with you. We have  a look at amazing piece of Earthrise artwork featuring new Characters & secret messages.

The image comes from part of the packaging of the upcoming Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime and we are sure it will please your optics. So far we can identify:

  • Unicron (planet mode)
  • The Ark
  • The Nemesis (shooting the Ark)
  • Megatron
  • Optimus Prime
  • Bumblebee (new design, followed by another bot… Blurr?)
  • A Quintesson (Judge face)
  • Wheeljack
  • Hound
  • Trailbreaker
  • Arcee
  • Doubledealer
  • Shockwave
  • Galvatron (on one side of the box)

All with an amazing art of the Ark falling into the Earth in the center of the image. To top it all, other parts of the packaging have got secret messages for fans to discover. One of them… Micron??? This image give us a lot to speculate, so it’s time to place your bets on the possible new figures for Earthrise. Don’t forget that we had previously reported listings for the Quintesson, Trailbreaker and Doubledealer last year.
