The Energon Pub

Whilst I fully appreciate that I have been somewhat of a UK sightings whore over the last couple of months; here's another!!

Hasbro UK have released the RTS Scouts AND Wave 3 of the HFTD range in the UK, but all in the same case

Firetrap and Sunspot were both in the yellow post-movie HFTD packaging, but without any of the HFTD stickers on the bubbles. Windcharger and Chopsaw were in RTS as expected. I found the case in Tesco Wembley the other night whilst the store staff were re-stocking and it appears to have an even distribution of all 4 characters, all in Euro-packaging so expect widespread sightings soon

Interestingly the RTS and HFTD scouts both share the same barcode.....

In addition to that, all six(!) of the RTS Legends have also been released

I found the set at Asda in Colindale (NW London), for the princely sum of £3.97 each, there are now 6 less on the shelf









Happy hunting UK'ers......

(And as much as it pains me to say it, well done Hasbro UK )

Wait a tic, does that Starscream has a painted helmet?! I thought it was supposed to be unpainted.

I think there is a variant kicking around, have a look at the pic in the thread here;

Well what do you know. What are the chances of a Legends Grimlock being released?

Even if there isn't, the G1 Pretender Classic Grimlock would be in pretty good scale with this. Almost makes me wish I didn't sell mine!

That's exactly my intention. G1 Pretender/Legend Starscream had a silver face in Japan, if there was a Legends Grimlock in the works, I'd have a good excuse to get him. Add Universe Legends Jazz, and voilà: G1 Classic Pretender/Legends homages

Have these hit the USA yet or has Europe git first dibs?

Of the first wave all I need is Tracks and Jazz in the Deluxes, Windcharger in the Scouts and Prime, Megs and maybe Starscream of the Legends... wow, half of each wave. That seems a current trend for me

Asda also has RTS Legends wave 1 aswell as RTS Deluxe wave 1. I didn't see the scouts though.
