2005 Board Member Shadow Panther has noticed a new shelf tag at his local Toys R Us store in New Jersey. “Transformers Cybertron 3-Pack” with a $39.99 price tag. This is most likely the Rage Over Cybertron 3-Pack featuring the Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee Generations molds.
Keep an eye out on your Toys R Us stores and be sure to let TFW2005 know when you see these guys hit the shelves!

I ONLY want this Megatron because of the color choices. The cannon is BEGGING to have an LED built into it. I LOVE Optimus and Bumblebee…but I really don't want to have more of them. I'll be passing on it despite loving all three of the molds.

Kinda not worth it.

this set is fucking awesome.
that is all i can say.
translucent purple megs cannon of death.
1/2 crystal prime…and bee with new green teal accents and blades…is great.
my original WFC prime broke right out of the box…this one has no loose joints.
all the figures have great paint apps…megs looks like he is radiating dark energon in his chest and legs…

Yes, this was released not too long ago.

That set is an eyesore.

I agree with this, that I thought these more like a "value pack", aka, MORE VALUE for your money-pack.
I will wait (and I know its a long wait) for a discount. In truth, WFC Prime interests me because I can use him for repaints. WFC Megatron looks good, but man, Bee? I don't need another. I already have WFC Bee and CJ.

The problem most people have is the idea that multipacks shouldn't be more expensive than the individual releases. Paying less is usually the trade-off for not being able to choose what you're getting. Not much incentive for people to pay more than they would for individual figures when they may be a lukewarm to some of them.
Personally, I dislike this set because it's indicative of Hasbro's crippling fear of releasing Bumblebees as anything but yellow Bumblebees, and Optimus Primes as anything but red and blue Optimus Primes. We keep getting the same BB and OP molds repainted in slightly different shades of their original colors, which I find rather distressing.

Or I could just wait until the next time I'm at work and check the alternate store inventory on the computers.

Between the fact that multi-pack figs are usually discounted and these being pretty lackluster repaints, I think that's where the price complaints come in. Personally, I probably woulda bought these at a discounted price just because I like the molds, but I'm leaning toward passing at this price because these decos just aren't that impressive. As others suggested, a Magnus, Galvatron, and <fill in a decent BB repaint> I'd be in for $40, but these? Meh…
They strongly hinted at BotCon they would do more figs with another game…

Has Hasbro at all indicated they are ever doing WFC2 figures? I think we would have heard by now.
BenjaminXavier
They could have done Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, and Glyph maybe? It still would have sold the same, and it would have been an interesting set. I'll still get it, but I really with they'd worry a little less about putting Bee, OP, and Megs out over and over again.

With a price drop, these might be worth getting for custom fodder.
wildfly
Too soon. Hasbro said further molds would be held over til WFC 2..and even then anything larger than Deluxe is far from inevitable.

I'm pretty sure this is the Cyberverse pack. I can almost swear it says Cybertronian on it and when I scanned it last week it came to $39.99 (originally $44.99?).
Still over-priced as it's juast a redeco of a Cyberverse ($15), one Commander ($8) and two legions ($10) which only totals $33.
EDIT: Just check the cyberverse. It does say "Cybertronian Battle Pack" on it but the SKU is different and I guess it's not really a 3-Pack. Carry on.

Call around with the item number I verified (Deceptigtar figured it out) on the first page and see what's doing in your area.
Shouldn't that number have been included in the FP news story anyway, much like the DPCI for the Wreckers?
