Think Walmart, but slightly nicer But seriously, the paint job on my Rodimus is horrible, heck I've had the set loose from the box for only 7 hours and the paints already chipping off of his chest plate

S*************t!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meijer? It's a Meijer exclusive? My nearest Meijer has to be at least three hours away. Guess I'll have to pay over retail online.

It's not Meijer exclusive, it's general release, Meijer just put it out in stores first.

Meijer is specifically like a Super-Walmart in that they always have a full grocery store. I saw Battle in Space in that same Canton one yesterday too, but I won't have the cash or gift card to spare 'till the 26th. The chain started out in Michigan, and has spread as far as Illinois, but I'm not sure of their total radius.

I'm not trying to "rub it in" since I doubt the 2-pack is a Meijer exclusive...but you know what actually appears to be? PCC 2-packs WAVE 2! Those are the only stores where I've ever seen Sledge, Icepick, and the greatest figure of the entire line, Leadfoot, and every Meijers from Wixom to Livonia just put more cases of 'em out in time for the holidays! And they've got the HFTD scouts on sale for $5.00 through the end of today.

Oh, and they had those supposedly Japan-exclusive Magnus, Galvatron, and Superion watches back in the days of G2, as they've sometimes imported Japan-market products like DBGT and Bakugan figures at inflated prices.

THAT's rubbing it in. Merry Christmas!

As for the Rodimus paint-chipping problem, think a few sprays of clear sealer might hold it on? That's what I intend to do to all of my Transmetals someday.

Oh. Good. I assumed it was a store exclusive since tfwiki.net and many on this site referred to it as one, but with an unconfirmed carrier.

its been sighted at targets as well according to tfw2005

I got mine online through amazon. It's nice to have a in scale matrix for my classics line, but I did wish it came with the chain that the original release had. I like this version of Cyclonus a lot better than the Universe one, so RTS is now my official Cyclonus, and the Universe one is Armada. I like the new paint job on Rodimus, which is great cause my Universe/classic one is now the Protector armor all the time.

However, the real news is this: I think there is a new Warpath toy coming.


There were a lot characters shown in the comic. Not only did we see Cyclonus and Hot Rod, but we saw a lot of new characters that are hitting retail now, or soon will be. I counted Jazz, Tracks, Blurr, Cyclonus, and Hot Rod as characters that are out now. In the coming soon category I have Grapple, Lugnut, Scrouge, Kup, Bumblebee, Rumble, Frenzy, and Preceptor, all of whom where shown in their new toy form. While there were a number of characters that don't have new toys coming, there were shown in their original tv show bodies, except Warpath.


This Warpath had additional blasters coming out from behind its head and had details that weren't consistent with the original toy, the show model, or the legends toys that was released a a few years ago.
