War for Cybertron: Earthrise - HOIST WFC-E5
Summary
This is the first line of transformers toys for the second instalment of the "War for Cybertron" trilogy called "Earthrise".

Comments
Again this is a fan service to people who grew up in the 80s watching generation one transformers. The toy is very close to the 80s cartoon and the original toy line, but with better articulation. However I wished they incorporated the gun as his hand, like what they did with the Grapple deluxe class figure, instead we get the gun as a separate piece that covers his hand, and unfortunately there is a lack of accessory for this figure. In car mode the hands are not very well hidden and can sometimes obstruct the wheels of the car.
