Excellent review dude! This figure is excellent proof of MP lite design philosophy. The color scheme is nigh perfect. The previous chug figures always had very inaccurate Colors. This figure will be my first ever Smokescreen. I just hope they do a Bluestreak version!
At first, I wasn't really interested in getting Earthrise Smokescreen. I was fine with 35th anniversary Bluestreak and Siege Barricade. But now, after this in-hand review on the guy, my mind as changed. The blue/red/white/black paint job looks awesome. His sculpted detail and transformation, of course is remolded from the Siege Prowl mold, but looks new enough to differ. Whether in car or robot mode, this figure looks amazing. Definitely a hidden gem. Though I wish his guns were blue, like in the promo photos. -Rumor has it that Earthrise Prowl will be on the way, with Ironhide. Hope that news of a Earthrise Bluestreak is on the way, and possibly another Barricade.
Its as if they listened to my gripes and complaints! They improved the color blocking and his proportions are so amazing now WOW!!!!! Great review as always pvp!
Ratbat 1986 Yes. And he’s a pretty popular ‘Con thanks to the Bayverse movies so I’m confident he’ll show up in either late in Earthrise or in WFC Part 3.
@@codyerickson3550 maybe part 3 will be return to cybertron going with the potp route with a combination of cybertron earth and battle damage maybe the cons and bots unite against unicron or something but thats all i got
I'm in for this new mold regardless of already having the siege ones. Looks really good and I'll just use the Generations Selects smokescreen shoulder blasters on him. We just need 38 instead of 80
Why the change to '80'? Is it a copyright issue or Hasbro just being greedy knowing completists will buy yet another Smokescreen figure down the line with the proper '38'?
Waiting for the Jazz remold (PLEASE!!!).The best one of the wave, my only problem are the hollow gaps in his feets Back here just to say that I hope they re-release Prowl individually, as they did with Impactor
@@elitegamer21005 Grimlock probably was a mistake and will be from Earthrise, I mean, ¿Why the Quintessons, the Allicon or Arcee are in Earthrise then?
YES! Awesome review! Hope that you’re reviewing Topspin and Cliffjumper next (I may or may not have a clear bias as to what vid I want to see next)! I’ve been sitting here for the past 20 minutes lol, but you gotta stay on the PvP grind!
Got the Siege version and got this figure pre-ordered, just waiting for him to be in stock and dispatched. With Smokescreen having been my first ever Transformer back in the 80s then I try to get any figures of him I can manage.
First of all when I looked at the thumbnail I thought he look beautiful and then after I watched this video, he look absolutely fantastic. I thought you gonna have a mixed feeling about this figure but no, you love it and so do I when hasbro revealed the figure. I'm so lucky that I didn't pick up the siege ver cause he looks weird and unappealing to me and seeing this figure the first time, I have fallen in love with it. Thank you for the awesome review, I hope more people watched this review and regret that they miss out this figure
I think Earthrise is the best Transformers toyline so far. Like these are super clean, look amazing, and the vehicle modes are freakin hollow with little to no robot kibble showing through really.
Kinda annoyed we're getting him so soon after the Selects version, but damn he looks really good. I'm definitely gonna grab this guy for my G1 Chug Collection.
Expecting the prowl and barricade repaints in the next wave even though I bough the Siege versions :( same thing happened with Siege and Earthrise Prime, really unfriendly sales model by Hasbro, but another awesome review from you as usual
You shouldn't be surprised by now unless you are new to collecting these. Repaints/remolds are a regular thing. And Optimus is one of those characters that gets a new version constantly. I think Hasbro could have done a few more waves of Siege to get more of the original Autobot/Decepticons in Cybertronian robot/alt modes. My main gripe is the exclusives, especially the store exclusives. I was lucky to find one of the Earthrise Thundercracker/Skywarp sets yesterday after checking Targets for a couple weeks.
I only ever got bluestreak with the siege mold because he was the only one that came with shoulder guns so getting smokescreen and prowl with this new mold will be perfect.
Cool review. I just wish you would've done a size comparison with this Smokescreen and a SIEGE Prowl or Bluestreak figure since I have a feeling that this Smokescreen might be a little taller.
I purchased the Blue Streak on SALE. I do not like that mold so much that I passed up on Prowl. If Earth Rise molds are used to create new Prowl and Blue Streak they I will buy them. Most definitely going to seek to purchase this Smoke Screen.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought this WAS an MP review. I wasn’t too excited for this until this review, because I have the original MP Smokescreen (not the Plus version, I’m not as much a fan of those honestly), but this looks really impressive. I’ll probably grab all the ER Datsun Bros since I passed on the Siege versions, and this review makes me really excited for Bluestreak as well. My only real complaints are the wheels, those pets should be painted but I’ll probably do that myself, as well as painting some tail lights on the back of the car. But yeah, went from “meh” to “yeah!” real quick on this figure.
Shame about the peg hole on roof but the holes on the bonnet resemble bonnet vents so that’s not too bad. Will buy this one I had the original smokescreen back in the 80s and loved it.
Great!!!....this is a best mold of smokescreen. I know is like the masterpiece engineer, But That is the goal, to "improve" the mold of the toy. great review.
As much as I want a barricade version of this I really hope he gets his own mold that looks like the one from earth wars or the one in the promotionals
That depend because when I got siege Bluestreak half of the figures at that Wal-Mart were 35th anniversary figures. But if I get the chance I will get the earthrise smokescreen and prowl.
I'm incredibly tempted to buy this, even though I already have the siege one. Screw it, I will probably most likely buy it. I'm definitely not one to shy away from having more than one of the same character. *Slowly looks over at Voyager class the last knight, SS bumblebee movie, and SS dotm leader class Optimus Prime figures*
Think they'll make a Jazz retold? All they have to do is slightly change the legs, and head.... I would definitely get a Jazz of this guy.... Maybe even a mainline version of Treadshot? 😁
I think if you cant afford the mp figure this one is definitely a go to but i think the mp figure is still superior since more time and money was put into it
I'm glad I could never afford MP Smokescreen and MP Wheeljack, because their Earthrise versions are almost as good looking. Sadly I still have to wait a couple of years to find them for under 20 bucks
Well, now I'm bummed that I got the Siege Prowl and Blue/SilverStreak. Especially since the knees have all started giving out. I hope they've changed those a bit for this mold.
Great review man. Skipped on the Siege Datsuns bc they had clear plastic knees which was my maon concern as clear plastic knees dont really age well. Does ER Smokescreen have clear plastic knees as well?
I say if you want this figure to be more g1 you could give him the siege shoulder Cannon. As the siege shoulder Cannon is closed to smokescreen g1 cartoon shoulder cannon
A shame I bought the Siege versions... but with news of a possible Prowl and Bluestreak/Silverstreak hopefully coming soon, I guess I’m buying. Furthermore, I really a hope an actual Bluestreak version is released.
It’s basically an affordable masterpiece smokescreen
for real tho some of the best WFC toys are basically that
You are so right
That's the majority of Earthrise

Wow I just searched ER Smokescreen and wasn't expecting any reviews
Now that's a Datsun! Quite a night and day difference in quality compared to ER Arcee.
For sure! So good
It's a Porsche.
It's easier to make a Smokescreen that costs $ 20 than a $ 20 Arcee

Man, I have to pick up this G1 version of Earthrise Smokescreen! He is definitely looking sharp!
I just realized what your background music is, its a remix of Arrival to earth.
Its as if they listened to my gripes and complaints! They improved the color blocking and his proportions are so amazing now WOW!!!!! Great review as always pvp!

I preordered my Earthrise Smokescreen off of Ebay a few weeks ago. Another great review, PrimevsPrime!!!
Now we just need Prowl and Bluestreak (Silverstreak)...
Hopefully, we'll get a Barricade reuse of this mold as well.
We’re getting Prowl in a two-pack with Ironhide.

Give Reprolables time, they’ll give us a nice set with the appropriate numbers (and taillights, the lack of taillights bugs me) I’m sure.
Why the change to '80'? Is it a copyright issue or Hasbro just being greedy knowing completists will buy yet another Smokescreen figure down the line with the proper '38'?
I've heard bad reviews about this toy but seeing your review gave me a new perspective on the toy, I can probably say it'll form part of my collection
I'll skip the Siege version to get this.
I never had the intention to buy a Siege Prowl remold and repaint
Good choice!
I decided not to get Prowl and I got Barricade instead just because it was cool to get a new g1 version of the Character from the 2007 film.
Dan Morgan same here. id like an MP G1 style Barricade too.
Same.

Jazz? This is one of the Datsun bros, he’ll get made into prowl and Bluestreak but jazz is far less likely..
If they make Jazz , I would pay half price since I already have one.

Definitely seems worth waiting f oh r. Looking forward to him. I’m really enjoying the Earthrise figures. Can’t wait for Earthrise Prowl.
If you want him to have that Starscream fashion, put the little guns at the arms/shoulders

Had this guy a few years back. Fell apart pretty quick.
I think I'm content with the Seige version. I prefer some of the Cybertronian alt modes.
This looks so good.

Well, now I'm bummed that I got the Siege Prowl and Blue/SilverStreak. Especially since the knees have all started giving out. I hope they've changed those a bit for this mold.
I just made a discovery that you can fit the prowl mould characters in earthrise optimus’s trailer
Is it just the trick of the light, or does this figure look more solid than Siege Prowl?
Nice review! Any way of storing the weapons in vehicle mode other than plugged on top? (I can see they all plug together well)
I wish they put robot mode tires on shoulder for G1 cartoon accuracy.
