    I do not know if this is news, as I could not find a thread, but I found the latest in Angry Birds Transformers Telepods at the Frederick, MD Toys R Us this morning (in electronics). This one is themed "Deceptihogs Revenge" off of the new update (not for Kindle yet though, LOL)

    The wave includes
    Thundercracker Pig
    Grey Slam Grimlock Bird
    Dark Megatron Pig
    Autobird Jazz vs Deceptihog Brawl Battle Pack

    Kinda too bad the Megatron repaint once again gets the short end of the stick, and Jazz is a remold of Soundwave and doesn't really look like his game model.

    These things are actually really cute desk toys, so sorry they sometimes seem to miss that proper 'finishing touch'. :eek:

    You think they would use some bird/pig transformers for the bird/pig line.

    Wave one was in my TRU for about 10 days prior to Christmas and haven't seen anything since. Will have to keep my eyes peeled for these.

    They are sort of pieces of crap, but if you play the game (and I have two boys that do) then they are good for restoring the health of your characters without having to pay up to 600 coins.

    As for toys or figures to have outside of the game... Well, you can buy a crap ton of Bot Shots for a helluva lot cheaper. They are basically the same thing but with the Angry Bird gimmick.

    I never saw any of the first wave at any of the stores in my area, I wonder if I should bother trying to find wave 2 or if it will be less painful to just overpay for Thundercracker online and be done with it.
