Beast Hunters spotted at US retail

Twin Cast · 12-21-2012, 06:38 PM

In possible new News, amidst some holiday shopping this morning I found some new figures at a Toys R Us in Southern California:

- Beast Hunters Wave 1 deluxe:
- Bumblebee, Soundwave, Wheeljack, and Lazerback
- $15.99 ea. (I only purchased Wheeljack and Lazerback)
- Wheeljack: This tough-as-nails outer space adventurer is newly equipped with enhanced beast-hunting gear!
- Laserback: Chaotic PREDACON rebel whose only goal is to scour Earth clean of the AUTOBOTS!

Also!
- Bot Shots 5-Packs
- Stunticons (Decepticon Dragstrip, Brake-Neck, Motorbreath, Dead End, Breakdown - The rebellious STUNTICONS team serves MEGATRON by causing chaos wherever they can!)
- Autobot Polar Assault Team (Mirage, Jetfire, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumbblehee - the AUTOBOT POLAR ASSAULT Team ventures into endless tundra too cold for most robots to survive!)
- $21.99 ea.

Good luck hunting and happy holidays!

EDIT: Attached additional pics of the Stunticons! (and the polar Autobots)
EDIT: Okay, I couldn't resist opening up the packages. And surprise!- major changes to the instruction sheets (first since ??), with a large, monochromatic spread, character shot, and expanded story (!). Images and possible SPOILERS for Lazerback's origin and bio attached in images. Also added a couple early shots - enjoy!
EDIT: Reviews are up and linked!

Could we get a good shot of that autobot botshots pack?

and how the hell did Hasbro manage to lose two of the stunticon's names in one year?

Well I'll be damned, new Bot Shots. I love that Stunticon set.

Which TRU was it?

SPLIT LIP · 12-21-2012, 06:45 PM

"Motorbreath" is kinda catchy.

"Hey Motorbreath!" "What's up, Motorbreath?" "Motorbreath, get off that fucking tractor."

Hehehehehe
