I think it's just movie characters.

I find this a bit bizarre that in this wave, it's not 50/50 G1 and Movie.
Based on the Bee and Optimus playsets we got, that is.

First Starscream, Now Jazz?! Man

In my initial response i forgot to ask about the codes associated with the bind boxes so this is definitely good to have. Again thanks to @willams-james88 for that.

My two cents worth with the blind boxes. It would have been nice to see Ironhide from the 07 movie in one of these blind boxes along with Roadbuster. Rather than getting repaints of Brawl and Sentinel Prime. That would complete the 07 Autobot lineup and complete the Wrecker trio.
It is interesting another version of Nemesis Prime is being released. Now you can have both, Peterbilt and the Western Star versions.

The clear Ratchet is neat, that would go along with the clear Optimus Prime that as previously released.
Just has they did a G1 inspired Starscream we now get a G1 inspired Jazz.

Time to start looking.

I just wanted to share my comparison shots between series one and series two releases. Unfortunately, I never found any of the Series/wave 2 blind boxes in the store. i was able/lucky enough to get them off of eBay for reasonable prices, not too much more than what you would pay for in the store with taxes.

Enjoy,

You just reminded me that there are micro Machines wreckers, and now I am in agony knowing I need them

Funny enough i was going to ask you about that under your collection page. Unfortunately, they only have released Leadfoot and Topspin. Maybe they will release Roadbuster at some point. Not sure why they didn’t just do all three in the one 4 pack. That makes too much sense i guess. Of course that was Dale Jr.’s car could be a licensing issue but certainly not with Chevy since the other two are Chevys.

Oh well but they would definitely be a great addition to your Wreckers collection.

I'm slowly but surely closing out all of the Wreckers toys, and forgot about these 2. I need to start hunting them I guess

Found some of these recently!

First I found some of the blind packs at Target, used the codes to pick the chase Ratchet!

Currently have him next to the Jada die-cast Bee, which doesn't quite scale but is kinda close enough.

I also went into Five below and found these guys! (Note: Arcee is incorrectly labelled as Elita-1)

There was also a pack with Blackout and Brawl there, and while I unfortunately didn't see them, there are also packs of 07 Bee with Megatron, and Prime with Starscream.

Curious if we'll see more of these two packs in the future, There's some of the DOTM/AOE ones I'd like to pick up!

Congrats on the finds. Id say you’re lucky to still find the blind boxes in the store. At least in my AO, the Targets haven’t had anything since end of last year.

I haven’t seen any of these two packs. I know on other sites people have posted about finding them. I don think there is any difference between these and the 4 packs, other than the miss named Arcee. It would be cool just to find them.

It would be nice to see future 2 or 4 packs of those they didn't release originally.

Thanks! There's quite a few gaps they could fill in the line, for example we have 2/3 of the Arcee Triplets and Wreckers, and we're also missing Ironhide

Oh most definitely, those are ones i wish they would release. Others would be Dino, Que (of course probably license issue) and then having the three Dreads; Hatchet, Crowbar, and Crankcase. Then of course will we see anything from AOE or TLK?

I still need to find the 4-pack with the Dotm Wreckers in it

News Credits: 53 · by **EvasionModeBumblebee** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 12:05 pm

Visited another Five Below today and found the other packs, including the chase variant of Bee! (NEST Ratchet was target, not five below xD)

@EMB, again good finds. I didnt mention this prior but i would have never thought to look in a Five and below store. I might have to check one out. I wouldn’t mind having the “chase” Bumblebee. Buying a two pack to get him is so much better than a 4 pack.

Thanks! To my knowledge the 2 packs are exclusive to Five Below so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see them pop up in other places. There is also a chase version of Optimus (the transparent one that I think was available in a blind box before), but I didn't see it while I was out.

That would only make sense then. That version of OP came out in the wave 1 blind boxes if I remember right.

Might be able to use the micromachines as substitute playing pieces in the upcoming robo rally transformers version board game. Not sure how many of the tf micromachines would be ideal for velocitron setting but after cosmos who knows. Still kinda regret not picking up the optimus playset from Target.

I'm sorry, the what version? I didn't even realise Robo Rally was still a thing!

Dunno what renegade studios has to do with robo rally (I'd have to check my board game or Google who made it) but it looks like it's the next board game to have 5000 versions like monopoly :p

Also a really good game if there is more than 3 players, sadly why mine doesn't get used at all.

Unique one for you: MicroMachines found at Ross with the wrong figure in the pack! but i finally found my Wreckers! and I prefer Optimus to Sentinel anyways
