    I found Sludge and (presumably his wavemate) Clobber at a Ross of all places (specifically, the one at College Grove Drive in California). Visual proof here:

    I don’t know if these count as actual sightings, but they’re at least in discount chains if anyone is looking for them.

    @Black Convoy does this count as a first sighting?

    Marshalls was the only place I ever saw RTS Lugnut, as well as PCC Grimstone and Steamhammer.

    As for Sludge? I got one off Amazon this week and he's not terrible, but he's weaker than the Armor Skullcruncher I have. The weapon is clever and I like his size compared to Snarl/Grimlock. But $15 seems like a better price than the $20 I paid.

    If they'd make more of the Ultras in the same manner as Clobber and Rack N' Ruin, I'd buy more of them. I realize the heads and waists don't turn, but they have a gimmick and they're otherwise articulated. The other Ultras that unposeable bricks are a no-go in my book. Shame. Looks like Sludge, here, is more akin to Clobber than the rest are. (Good thing.)

    Ultra Class Clobber, Rack’N’Ruin, and Thunderhowl are still on my need list

    My only complaint on Thunderhowl is that his hips don't really lock in place, it's the only major flaw he has.

    Skullcruncher is great and his armor is wonderfully goofy.

    Sludge's art suggested it was similar, but the beast head was way smaller.

    I don’t mind, I consider that a non-issue. I still need him PLUS I plan on getting a Maximal symbol Reprolabel for him (and Warrior Class Hammerbyte)

    ive yet to see this figure at regular retail, and its already showing up discounted at Ross, thats crazy. the news comes on the same day i received Sludge from Amazon for full price, and was next door to a Ross this morning. its been so long since ive seen any transformers at Ross, i gave up going in there a long time ago..

    If the listings are true I’d like to see SS86/Generations 2022 Leader Sludge first

    Is this the only Sludge we're getting in Cyberverse, or are we getting a version similar to Slag and Snarl?

    Thus far, all the Cyberverse Dinobots with the exception of Grimlock have been (semi-)exclusive to different price points.

    Grimlock is seeing two older toys (Scout Class and Deluxe Class) re-released in "Dinobots Unite" packaging, plus there's the upcoming Roll & Combine Wheelgrim figure.

    In addition, Grimlock already had various other toys released in the Cyberverse line (Ultra Class, Ultimate Class, Spark Armor Elite Class) that have thus far not been confirmed to be re-released.

    The only Slug toys currently confirmed are the Deluxe Class figure and the Roll & Combine Slugtron figure:

    The only Snarl toy currently confirmed is the Warrior Class figure:

    The only Sludge toy currently confirmed is the Ultra Class figure:

    The only Swoop toy currently confirmed is the Roll & Combine Bumbleswoop figure:

    Lastly, there's the upcoming Ultimate Class Volcanicus figure that cannot split up into the individual Dinobots:

    I'd give you more thumbs if I could Nevermore - Thanks mate.

    Jeez this breakdown is going to do my OCD head in.

    I think I'm going from wanting to collect a set... to maybe passing :(
