Thanks to Protoman of Cybertron.ca for reporting that Transformers Universe two packs have been sighted at Canadian retail. These two packs which consist of Ratbat & Springer and Dirge & Roadbuster were sighted at a Zellers in Montreal Quebec.
These two packs are set for release in November in the United States and will be Target exclusives.

LOL I already bought Evac and Sideways in their first release and named them Springer and Ratbat respectively.
I might repaint them some day.
Sorry Hasbro, your a few days late and I'm a few dollars short.

So it looks like these Canadian versions don't have the comic included. I don't care when it comes to Roadbuster vs. Dirge, but I do want the WW reprint with Springer/Ratbat.
Railguard
Oh I am so using my Target card to get Roadbuster and Dirge!!!!!!!!!!

I hope these make their way to the UK. I really want Ratbat.
Feralstorm
I'm most interested in Roadbuster. Like many, I only really want one out of each pack, which seems to translate to me (likely) only getting the Roadbuster/Dirge pack. (I like Springer, but I already have the superior-looking Evac and Blades, so…)

They've now been sighted in multiple stores in Quebec in addition to stores in the Toronto area. Looks like it's time for me to go to Zellers!

i'm lovin' everyone except Ratbat: that mold is just a bit to distinct to the Cybertron character and line IMHO to get a reuse like this.
Skywave
Where those found in store ? And in Quebec ?? Man I want that Springer, but I don't care for the other 3.
Dropshot
Wow, I didn't know we were getting a vubertron hotshot repaint, although the paint apps suck, I think I will get that, maybe even the springer pack too.
doomtron
aghhhhh! more stuff i dont have money for!

I really want the Springer and Ratbat and sorta want Roadbuster have to do something about that face though. Dirge wil get painted or something. Were these suppossed to be released in CA? I can't wait I passed up up blades and always thought Evac reminded me of Springer m'boy. Can't wait!
Johnator
Can't wait to get these.

Directed at anyone with these figures and an ok camera..

They look like great sets.

I have the toys in hand and I can confirm for you that Roadbuster's eyes are *not* the same color as his face. They are light green while the rest of the face is darker green. It looks fine as it is IMO. However, if you want the eyes any other color then yeah, take out your screwdriver and paint brushes, you got work to do.

emh. i'll look for springer on ebay. wish they'd do him right for once… as for dirge and ratbat and roadbuster? pttthhht. nah. the diesways colours were perfect, Dirge is just an uninteresting mold, and i don't even know who roadbuster is.

I want both of these 2-packs, and I want them yesterday.

freaking sweet…i need dirge for my dirge collection especially since i got my precious botcon dirge (though his wings are wrong…), and i need springer for my wreckers, so that's awesome…ratbat will be nice to add to the collection, cuz i doubt we'll get any other ratbat for awhile, and springer is okay, but i've got botcon springer…i've been thinking of a story where springer separates his two vehicle modes, but his personality kinda splits too, so one can be in vehicle while the other is in robot mode, but both controlled by him still…but that's also the 3rd version of that mold i'll have too…but we'll see…
also, do we know how much these will cost at target? i'm hoping 25…

Dirge is really the only one I want to get at all, and even then, I forsee a bit of painting to make him look a bit better.
ORIO
Ratbat and Roadbuster for me. But now, I'm not sure. Roadbuster looked better at Botcon and Ratbats mold is just so unique to Sideways in my opinion.
General Tekno
See, the really weird bit is that it showed up in QUEBEC.
They never get all-English packaging, I understand.
