    Or because Target has it listed on the products description. Anyways, it's more than likely a honest mistake on targets end.

    Well it being from a major retailer like Target and not TFSource is a good start.

    Tonkanator is cool.  If he is an Autobot his eyes should be Blue though.

    It's weird seeing a Megatron/Blitzwing and a Octane/Laser Prime mashed figures.

    Yeah just like the Dinobots and Prim...oh wait :D 

    But yeah, they probably should have been blue anyways.

    Tonkanator looks fantastic! I've spent many hours of my childhood playing the Tonka computer games that Hasbro Interactive made in the 90's and 00's, so this definitely appeals to me. Would've been amazing if they made a little Tonka Joe figure to go with it.

    Not thrilled about the price, but I'll probably still pick one up. The yellow looks more vibrant than G2 Devastator, and besides, the only Devastator figures I currently have are ROTF versions, so it'll be cool to experience the G1 molds.

    Target’s website on the whole deal lists the set as just north of $100. For six G1 recolored combiner pieces that possibly have Tonka stickers…

    Caterpillaranator. Nope, ain't got the same ring to it as Tonkanator. Idea has been buried, or should I say... one for the scrap heap.

    My man spitting nothing but facts here. He may be expensive, but Tonkanator has one of the greatest TF names ever. I dare anyone else to disagree.

    If not that, then he should be named "Tonkatsu".

    Just saw Silverstreak on clearance at Target. Hopefully means the Red Cog wave is coming soon. Anyone know when the next big store reset is scheduled?

    Red Cog is a Red Card exclusive. He won’t be available in-store.

    These Street Fighter figures are the visual definition of "a square peg in a round hole"

    Drop the skin tone and apply the deco to the preexisting molding and they could be pretty sweet.
