    Same here. My Target never got the Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack last year. With 2 new ones, I'm getting kinda worried.

    I'm definitely picking up both sets to get Roadbuster and Springer (who will be my Whirl). I have Sideways, so I will probably be parting with Ratbat. Dirge is still a question mark. I have both the Toys R Us Starscream and Botcon Starscream, so I don't know if I want another version.

    they were on ebay about 2 weeks ago...I won both comic packs....i will take pictures of all 4 transformers when they get here.....
    i decided to go for the ebay approach because i think these guys are going to be like those GI joe limited target release items and will not be avaliable in all areas....those GI joes did not make it to Tucson....so willing to pay the extra $$$ to get these limited release guys...besides i like all 4 so it is a WIN!! all the way around....

    I personally think they both look pretty good and plan on getting them as soon as they are released.

    Cybertron Sideways is one of my all time favorite Transformers. He looks great in both modes, very stylish and unique, and his complexity is pretty high without being floppy/fiddly/frustrating. Not sure about how the Ratbat paint scheme will look, hopefully Hasbro doesn't get lazy.

    My only complaint about the mold (and many others in the Cybertron line) is the lack of a way to store his key. I wish that his key slot had the two stage insertion where you can insert it part way and it'd stay put. Can't remember which one but there was a figure or two in the Cyb line that could do that.

    these are both target exclusives right? i am sure i will pick them up as the star wars and gi joe comic packs never interested me. Hopefully I can find them at retail becasue I won’t pay double for them.

    I think the coloring and characters match up nicely. Excellent use of both molds.

    I'm not sure which figs you'd be referring to, but there are also some figs which can store their keys elsewhere, like CDF Hot Shot (now Roadbuster) and Snarl.

    Or you could do what I did to most of my Cybertron figs (including Sideways), and do some minor kitbashing so that you don't need keys at all.

    I would have been interested in Ratbat if he was a single pack. Springer looks nice, but I don't need multiple of that mould.
