    Remember how an early photo from last year's New York Toy Fair gave us a first glimpse of the Walmart exclusive 35th Anniversary figures which were subsequently missing from all the main Toy Fair galleries? Something similar may have happened this year, though only on a smaller scale:

    Twitter user DaDa Rocks! gave us this photo:

    If you look closely, you'll notice this in the bottom row next to 1-Step Changer Repugnus (who has already been found at US retail):

    I compared this to another wide shot from BWTF and noticed an interesting discrepancy:

    Gone are Wheeljack and Repugnus, and replaced by Deluxe Grimlock, Hot Rod, Arcee and the BAF Maccadam figure!

    That Bumblebee retool has been previously unreleased too, even though he was slated to be released in "Power of the Spark" packaging, but that wave was skipped worldwide in favor of the Dead End/Ramjet wave.

    Is the Cyberverse Adventures line the new line for everyone or is it something Walmart Exclusive ?
    They are using so many tag lines i'm completely confused what goes where storewise.

    Especially as i've until this sighting only see this style of packaging in an ASDA store.

    It looks ok but I really wish they would make a deluxe figure of this design. I like how they portray Wheeljack in the show and he\'s gotten more screentime than most other side characters.

    It's a general retail subline.

    2019's general retail Cyberverse subline was "Power of the Spark".
    2020 technically has two subline imprints, "Battle for Cybertron" and "Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures". Both use the same packaging design, only the title itself is different. Different figures released in the same wave were alternatively branded as part of either subline. It's strongly assumed that "Battle for Cybertron" was actually an earlier working name before Hasbro decided to make "Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures" the final title instead, but not before some of the packaging with the old name was already printed. Case in point: Thus far, only figures from the first wave of each assortment featuring the new packaging design were branded "Battle for Cybertron". Everything from later waves is exclusively "Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures".

    And then there's the very short "Cybertronian Villains" subline, which is exclusive to Target in the US and only consists of two multi-packs. It's actually a futher subline within another subline... And that other subline is "Battle for Cybertron".
