You can check him out right here. Now. Let's take a quick look at the packaging You've got grapple in robot mode Transformers Earthrise on the side is some fantastic artwork of grapple with his big claw On the back you've got grapple in robot mode vehicle mode and hoisting up the mighty sound barrier on this side You've got more transformers Earthrise artwork. I love the art for these new packages So without further ado, let's get this guy cracked open so I can get my claws on him and welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Okay, now before we get started I want to point out that this is the first Transformers figure that I have bought in years that does not have any of those little plastic Ties attached to it. I mean grapple is inserted in this in the plastic bubble and that's it No plastic ties whatsoever Hasbro keep doing this Now once you get grapple all open to now the packaging you'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions And these are those great Earthrise instructions that are very well illustrated and very easy to follow I love these instructions. He also comes with a rifle and a claw attachment Now taking a look at the figure himself grapple is very blocky very G1 I really like the looks of this guy Up close on the face sculpt very good face. I'm not a big fan of the eyes They've got the eyes painted a very very light blue and they kind of blend into the face I wish the eyes were darker, but other now it looks really really good He's got translucent blue windshield right there along the chest with Translucent blue lights Tampagraft Autobot symbol right there in the middle. I like the wipers molded in wipers there Lots of nice molded details all over. I mean, he looks really really good. Got a little silver up there on the shoulders paint applications he's got hazard stripes there and On the crane on his back and surprising he really doesn't have that much of a backpack Figure looks really really good. I do wish the helmet Was painted black like the original generation one figure, but oh well now as far as articulations Concern his head is on a I guess it's a peg. It's not a ball joint So it came to a complete 360 the arms can go up and down There is an elbow bend and a elbow rotation No rotation with the hands or the wrists. There is a waist rotation Legs can go up and down all around. There is a knee bend and an ankle tilt Now what's really cool is grapple can actually flip his hands around and you've got a little port And on the back of grapple right there attached to the crane is a little missile or blaster and that can actually peg into the Socket right there and that gives him his G1 look with his I don't know if that was a weapon or not in G1, but we'll say that's a Weapon this go around now you can also remove the Blaster here and attach the claw so he's got That going on of course you can do that with both wrists if you so choose Now you have a Blaster claw battle mode if you will Now let's get grapple transformed into vehicle mode and it's actually pretty easy the first thing you're going to do is Unpeg this whole section actually pops off right there at the top and Extends out so there's a lot of Back kibble that was hidden in him and you're going to take the section with his face and Completely flip it around so it looks like that. You're going to take the fists Fold the fist in on both sides Then you're going to swing the arms around they will untab from the cab Make sure the silver sections fold into the cab like so see Get the little peg right here on top do the same on the other side There we go in those two sections will peg together So that is more or less the top of the vehicle you're going to take the feet extend the feet out and Down just like that. Let me show you again on this side Extend out and then down move this section up. You're going to bring the feet together Fold this down and then right here you've got these two pegs underneath the crane that peg into these holes right there Be very wary of this I have seen many grapples that have an issue with those pegs getting stuck in these holes and They snap right off, but mine I lucked out Mine snap in perfectly. So once you get him all lined up here Get the arms down You're gonna take the crane. It's on a soft ratchet bring that up and around flip this section down Let's see make sure he gets pegged in you've got these little holes right there that go into those pegs If those pegged in nice and tight will snap into place get everything lined up extend this portion of the crane out and There you have grapple in vehicle mode Grapples crane truck mode looks really really good a lot of nice molded details carry over. I Love the looks of the cab. It is very 80s very generation one He's got great pegged in wheels or pinned in wheels. Excuse me not just clipped in I love the details on the back wheels better than the front Let's see. You've got the little stabilizers molded in there the hazard striping Side windows this time mean everything's clear. You can kind of see right through the cab Back of the vehicle. You got a big gap right there now as far as the cranes concerned It can go up and down as I said it is on a ratchet, which is really nice and Can rotate around got a little hook up here up top Unfortunately, it's molded closed so you can't really hook anything to the hook There is a five millimeter port right here on top of the crane so you can attach the claw if you so choose so now he can reach down and Pick up boulders or anything else. He may seem fit maybe a stuffed animal like a claw machine or Pop the claw off face the pork forward Take the blaster attachment and now he has a Laser blaster Or he can art down and There is a welder so some pretty cool options. You can utilize with the crane mode Also this piece can go in and out all in all a very nice Looking vehicle. I I love it. It is so Generation one now for the quick size comparisons here is Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise grapple with Generation one Optimus Prime Generation one grapple see what I mean about the black helmet and His partner in crime Transformers Earthrise hoist Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise grapple is a fantastic toy This figure is just G1 through and through and I love it My only real complaints with the figure I wish he had a black helmet and he really needs a little bit more paint applications If you take a look at him beside the generation one version lots of color on this guy This one is a little plain though. I hear toy hacks has a set for him that really fixes those issues So there you go guys war for Cybertron Earthrise grapple So does the Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise grapple belong in your collection? Absolutely. This is a fantastic toy. I absolutely love this figure He is so much better than I originally thought he was going to be and I got to give another shout out to my buddy Adamania matrix for sending him to me. I love this toy. This thing is awesome But be warned I've seen many youtubers and many a post on Facebook Where they're showing the pegs that go into the feet are getting snapped off So when you first get one of these make sure the pegs fit in properly and they're not too tight Some people just been sanding them down so they don't break off and ruin the figure But if you happen to have one that's okay like mine is you're gonna really love the figure So yeah, you see this guy on the shelf. Don't hesitate He is awesome and guys.
