Thanks to TFW2005 board member Riverlos for letting us know that he found the Walmart exclusive deluxe figures Big Daddy, Grindcore, Jolt and Divebomb at the Walmart in Fontana, CA. He was kind enough to provide these camera phone pics.

There's been sightings in Maryland (here in Salisbury of all places), so they're out there.

I totally agree. Tidal Wave as Broadside would be awesome. A new head a a big ass battle ax would be perfect.
Here's some customs from a Japanese board a few months ago.
On topic – has anyone see Big Daddy and his friends on the east coast yet?
primenemesis
fill me in on what comic series this is i'm getting into comics these last two years but i'm all over so lmk so I can look for this. I like to read about figures because it puts a personality with them and turns them into more than just a toy, it gives them a personality

I was wondering that too. And for that matter, why isnt the Cool Stuff thread flooded with Big Daddys?

There's a new walmart opening here next wednesday… maybe I'll check there after it opens. The old one doesn't have shit. It's a barren wasteland..

Why aren't there any reviews on these guys in the feedback section yet? There seems to be a lot of people who have picked these up.
I'm very curious about the QC on these.

I'll get these…The best mold of the bunch is Grindcore so I'm looking forward to that the most. Divebomb actually looks really cool to me. It's the interesting color scheme I guess. Big Daddy's colors are awesome…and the ridiculous homage is worth the cash. I don't like the Cyb. Crosswise mold much at all, but I do like the G2 Jolt homage. So yeah. Bought.

Wait, these guys are showing up in places other than Cali?? Crap… I'm gonna have to start searching.. I want a full set, methinks..

To help keep the Micromaster theme going beyond just Big Daddy, you could consider Grindcore to be a greenish colored groundpounder (hell, maybe that's what they wanted to go for, but made him greenish because otherwise it'd be too close to Cyb. Landmine's colors?)
It's just a matter of personal preference, but as he is an Autobot, this role works better for me than the Autoroller idea.

I don't know about you guys but this has to be the worse packing job I've ever seen. The endcaps have:
3 jolt
3 divebomb
2 big daddy
1 grindcore
I went to three Wally's over the weekend and I can say this ratio is pretty consistent. Haven't opened them up but I did notice that a lot of the big daddies have a crappy paint job in the back too. Grrrr. . .

That's what I've been wondering myself. With all the tidbits of info that's been dropped lately from various people, one thing I wish someone would ask or they would simply let us know, is about what changes there may be to the designs of the characters we already know.
Inquiring minds wanna know!!!
I had to drop my brother off at the airport this morning so I hit a few Walmarts on the way home. Nadda. Big Daddy is the #1 priority of this bunch, and the rest are cool whenever I can find them.

I've been tempted to use my (broken)G2 Jolt's sword, but it was confiscated long ago by Cyb Cannonball and he won't relinquish it. *sigh*
OptimusPrimeFour

REDLINE
If he has pics, he should make a thread in the Radicons Customs forum.
DJW107PRIME
Yeah I own that series it kicked major ass and made B.I.G. one bad motha. I hope they prdouce the rest of the Hot Rod Patrol. And if you never read the series you owe it to yourself to check it out.
ORIO
Pics?

Big Daddy is definitely going with my Classics Autobots. I'm trying to make a group of AEC figures that could be their own group of Decepticons, in the Classics continuity but not following Megatron. Jolt will be in that group.
Laser_Optimus
Yeah, you and me both on Armada Scavanger.
As for Jolt… I was thinking of attempting to find a junker G2 Jolt that still has it's sword and use it for Movie Jolt. Though, no luck with that yet…
Laser_Optimus
Ah. Yeah, I guess that works. Still, I think I'm going to put him with my AEC display of figures and call him Scavanger (because I loved the character in the cartoon, but hated his figure).

I wonder, does it some w/ an Allspark cube?
