New Animated 2 Packs to be Walmart Exclusives

Just an update on the Animated Megatron / Prowl - Prime / Blackarachnia 2 Packs, they are set to be a Walmart exclusive value pack and should retail for $19.99 each

They are called the following

1) Prime / BA Pack = The Revenge Of Blackarachnia
2) Megatron / Prowl = Battle In Space

Both come on a very large, double thick backer with a single devided bubble holding the figures and the battle damage is confirmed on both Prime and Megatron.

The figures appear to coincide with the wave 4 animated releases as Sentinel Prime and Swoop are on the back of the packet,

For those that are interested here are the story's printed on the back of each pack

The Revenge of Blackarachnia

Long ago Optimus Prime was forced to abandon Blackarachnia in the caverns beneath the surface of an alien world. There she found herself surrounded by a terrifying horde of bizarre spiders and she was forced to reformat herself based on the strange organism to survive. The experience twisted her and drove her away from the autobots and left her with an undying desire for revenge on the former ally who left her to her fate. She has come to earth in search of Optimus Prime and she will not stop until she has destroyed him and everything he holds dear.

Battle In Space

In Space over a strange alien world Megatron carves his way through the hull of the autobot spaceship with his fusion cannon. Inside Prowl and his fellow autobots wait, knowing there is very little chance of defeating the Decepticon leader in a fight. Prowl knows his only chance is through stealth and skill. When it comes time to meet the mighty Megatron in combat he relies on his holographic projectors and speed to avoid being hit whilst tagging his opponent with every combat technique he knows. Unfortunately even his most powerful attacks bounce off the invincible armour of the Decepticon tyrant.

In further animated news Shockwave and Skywarp are set to ship toward the end of October - Early November for the USA and the case assortment will be

2 x Skywarps
2 x Shockwaves

Each will officially retail for between the $19.99 - $21.99 price point dependant on what stores you shop at, hopefully this news will save you pre-release bods a few $ on ebay

Do you know when we're getting Shockwave?

Not yet bud, animated seems stalled at wave 4 here which hasnt shipped yet, there are no pre-orders for any further waves either even though Hasbro stated that Wave 4.5 was simply delayed...I'm sure it will sort itself out in the end

I will probably have some good news on Universe Wave 3 on monday, Ironhide will be mine! HUZZAH

Pretty cool bios actualy, I love the stuff they do for these double-bios.

i will take one case of Voy. Wave 4 please.

Sweet deal, I am looking forward to a new Skywarp enthusiasticly, Shockwave about the same.

I loves me some jets.

Man, the bios are awesome... too bad I have no reason to buy either of these sets. Like I said in the other thread... if they had removed the battle damage from Megs and Prime I'd have repurchased Prowl and Blackarachnia just to get them (sure I probably would have sold off the two later, but Hasbro would have made some more cash off me...).

With these being WM exclusives, maybe there's hope for future regular releases of Prime and Megs without the battle damage.

must get Shockwave!

looks like i may get my preorder a little earliar then normal then. cool
