Link don't work.

Copy-paste the link, it's good, but clicking it is broken.

TRU exclusive... crap, what does that do to Arcee and Rodimus now?

cool,and Arcee thats actually looks great,to me atleast.

So Arcee is Exclusive to TRu Intrsting

damn it i almost never get to TRU XD sometimes i really hate the practice of exclusives

me too, but it's still one sexy fembot

Nice.

Clip on Wings? Sweet! That means we will get a G1-esque Arcee, in hovercraft form! Just remove the wings.

Well, it's great to see her in-package, but it absolutely sucks that she's a TRU exclusive. That one simple fact means there's about a 99.999% chance I won't be able to get her without the help of a fellow board member. I've tried in the past, but I've never been able to get a hold of any TRU exclusives. The closest TRU to me sucks at stocking, and I don't buy anything online (though this might get me to finally purchase from an online store). Here's hoping that there aren't too many more that'll end up as TRU exclusives.

Edit: Just saw that Ratchet is also a TRU exclusive. Wasn't planning on getting him anyways, as I'm happy enough with the Earth-mode version I already have. Here's hoping the Ironhide repaint/retool is NOT a TRU exclusive.

Oh my metal god! We're actually getting an original mold car mode arcee!

If it wasn't for the exclusivity, we might not have gotten her at all.

I'm thrilled to finally see a picture of Arcee in her packaging! I'm currently horrified to learn that's she's going to be a Toy's R' Us exclusive; I still haven't seen Perceptor or the Insecticons!

Still, this one is a must-own for me, so, I'm really hoping that Toy'sR'Us gets her in down here!

Tru exclusive?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I'm not sure what to expect. My local TRU has been horrible at stocking Animated, but they're pretty up to date with exclusives.

It seems Hasbro has found a retailer willing to harbor the final wave. Which is awesome, because I have a TRU 5 minutes from me, and they have no trouble keeping up with exclusives.

Though I was shocked at first, I'm not to surprised. Still sucks though, I and other board members will have trouble getting her. I wonder about the fate of Ratchet and the others in the wave.

Are we sure this Arcee's a teacher?

I hope to get this toy.

TRU only huh? Wonder if Electrostatic Soundwave/Freeway Jazz was the last mass released wave then.

I can't help but wonder that, if not for these pre-release pics we get, would we have found out Arcee was an exclusive BEFORE her release?

Ah well, at least I know where to go to find her.

possibly but i really hope not or my odds of getting the rest drop significantly

Crap! The TRU closest to me closed down not too long ago. They were great with both exclusives and Animated, too.

Now I have to find another TRU...

I just saw the pictures of Ratchet! Why do the two I've been looking forward to the most have to be exclusives at Toys'R'Us?! I really, really, hope they get these in....

I'm looking forward to seeing how Ratchet's Extending Shock Attack works.
Looking at the picture, maybe his fists extend forward by means of being spring-loaded?

Well, I now know where to look for Arcee come the propper time.

I just pray they she ends up being a shelfwarmer long enough for me to get her.

Could someone repost the images? Every time I try to go to the first page of this thread I get an error message.

MOTHER FU-

GOD DAM-

SON OF A-

CANDLE JA-

I should've seen this coming, but man, as if it wasn't hard enough finding Animated figures when the show was still on.

According to the cartoon, yeah.

Here they are; I've uploaded them to this post as attachments. I'll take these down when they're uploaded to the front-page.

Back packaging and side images can be found on Seibertron;

Thanks, Icespark! TRU exclusives, huh? Good thing I live 5 minutes away from a TRU and they're real good about stocking exclusives.

I wonder if Ironhide's going to be exclusive?
I'm looking forward to that version of the mold more than Ratchet.(since I already have a two of him.)

Luckily, I'm pretty close to all the stores that get exclusives. I should be prepared for anything.

NOOO!!!...urgh. ill have to order these online -_-;...

Your welcome. You're really fortunate; there's only one Toy'sR'Us in my area, and they still haven't gotten in either Perceptor or the Insecticons. Hopefully, they'll get these two in.....

Thank you very much for the link! Seeing those pictures makes me hope my Toy'sR'Us get them in even more!

arcee is pretty well armed for a teacher

Oh, so they're TRU exclusives? Nice! I can't wait to see Arcee in the stores!

Maybe she was in charge of the after school swords(wo)man's club?

FINALLY!!!!!!

But still, what the crap is going on with the clicking links? I know you can copy and paste the link into the address bar again, but it would be soooooooo convenient if the clicking would do its job and WORK!!!

Any idea when they come out?

Can anyone make out the bios?

For once an exclusive I can actually find.

Where I am there are absolutely no Wal*Marts, a few Targets, and a load of TRUs.

*opens thread and reads TRU exclusive*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ugh, why must the repaints be availible everywhere while the figures people want are the exclusives........ugh i rarely get to go to TRU.......ugh

You can see them here;

great, there goes my chances at ever getting an arcee

SHIT.
That means it'll be years before they get here.

Cool Arcee.

Well that kinda sucks. The only TRU that was around here closed a long time ago.

Odd that Ratchet is packaged in robot mode. I'll more than likely buy these online. Well, buy Arcee and Ironhide online. Because I don't even know if I HAVE a TRU 'round my way, let alone trust my luck in finding the buggers.

I'm betting on Rodimus and Blackout being TRU exclusives as well...

We need to see the cross-sell toys on the packaging, it might help us know who else will be part of this TRU EXCLUSIVE assortment.......... geez I hope Rodimus dodges that bullet, I need to get like 5 of those.

I'm so excited for these figures. My Toys R Us is actually still full of Ratchets and Blackarachnias, so I might end up ordering these from the TRU website.

The cross-sells are Electro-Static Soundwave, Waspinator, and Freeway Jazz for Ratchet, and Electro-Static Soundwave, Waspinator, and Samurai Prowl for Arcee.
