Ladies and gentlemen, start your (beast) hunting! The next Target exclusive Beast Hunters Predacons Rising release has been sighted in the US. The Cyberverse Commander set of Bombshock the Insecticon and Shockwave in a Generation 1 homaging deco were spotted at the Warrington, PA Target! Many thanks to 2005 boards member Timothy.R for the heads up!
Does this mean that the rest of the second-assortment Predacons Rising Target exclusives are far behind? Watch this space for more sightings news!

That would be nice.

We still may get one up scaled into a voyager next year. Chances aren't great, but not impossible.

Sigh… still wish they had made a TFP Voyager Insecticon for pete's sake… =(

I ordered mine from Target with the $3 coupon, 5% redcard, and free shipping. Still waiting..
My Target still doesn't have the second wave of Predacons Rising..

I bought this 2 pack last weekend. My son needed a leader for his insecticons.

Someone on Seibertron posted the back of the package.
Looks like Bombshock is one of Shockwave's experiments and is a Predacon as much as Ser-Ket is. He just still looks the same.

D Pok – You're not the only one.
I missed my chance on getting both Legends Commander figures of Shockwave & Hardshell with Generations Optimus Prime with Roller & Bumblebee with Blazemaster.
So this set becomes avaliable at Tesco, I hope to get this set when I fly my way over to the UK this Autumn.
Mostly if I cannot find the seperate releases with the Terrorcons & Generations figures.
Shockwave and Bombshock both have an impressive colourscheme in my opinion.

They look good! I missed the original singles releases for these two figures so I'm in for this.
Roadblock1977
I picked up one of the two they had in Tukwila, WA. Winning!!
I also picked up Beast Fire Predaking, as well as Huffer and Beast Blade Optimus Prime, but left behind Darksteel and Sky Lynx. I'm still thinking about next time. Still no Vertebreak, Knock Out aka "Croc Out" lol, or Arcee though.
Thundershot
On I'm aware if that, but he was never actually named in the show per se. I like this guy as a very different Predacon. Maybe a Shockwave experiment on an Insecticon.
LegendAntihero
Not interested. They look close to their regular versions. I already have a Cyberverse TFPShockwave and Insecticon
Anguirus
He was named in the credits. He's the Insecticon squad leader, voiced by Steve Blum, who made off with a Predacon bone while Optimus Prime's truck mode slaughtered the rest of his squad.
Hasbro does a pretty good job of splitting up the good bits between their two-packs so that I end up buying neither. I dig the "Thunderclash" Optimus in OP/Predaking and the Bombshock in this pack. Although I shouldn't say that, I like the Bumblebee/Blight set (hypothetically since it hasn't shown either), if only because one can't actually find a proper Blight Legion and it's a tiny black Murderbee. I should like the other pack for the Cindersaur homage buuuuut I actually don't.
It's the same for the disc two-packs, I'd buy a Ratbat + The Blue Guy, but I don't want to be stuck with Ravage and The Red Guy. As for the Autobot discs, I wound up saddled with Eject and Sundor, but that's ok because Sundor bravely sacrificed himself to my dog's jaws, one imagines sparing a good figure in the process.
Nevermore
Did they also fix the faction symbols, though?
Flexx Ark
I understand that. This is a Prime/Cyberverse setup.
You make great points. This could have been a nice 2-pack troop builder.
I actually like the single pack version more.
Galaxy Convoy
Damn shame they didnt repaint this Shockwave into something more generic as a troop builder Shock-drone. Grey and black in homage to Animated Shockwave would have been cool. Then we would have had a nice little troop builder 2-pack.
As is, can't see a whole lot of people troop building Bombshock out of not wanting a bunch of extra Shockwaves to deal with.
Dudicus
God, I didn't want this pack. But Bombshock has blue on him and it just looks too cool. And Shockwave is infinitely cooler than the single-carded one. And so the hunt begins yet again…still weird that they're calling Bombshock a Pred though.
Noideaforaname
Huh. Well, we finally get a non-dragon Pred.
Thundershot
I don't remember any other Insecticon getting a name in the show, but he has a Predacon symbol, so as far as I'm concerned, he's going to the Predacon shelf.
Any pic of the back of the package?
DecepticonSpike
We're getting a proper Classics Waspinator soon.

What do I have do to get a purple insecticon in this joint.
