While fans may not have paid much attention lately, Costco has been keeping the tradition of having big Transformers themed toys available exclusively to them during the holiday season. It's just that the recent offerings were non transforming licensed toys like those big remote control Bumblebee toys from Jada. But this year we get an actual Hasbro release. It is a rerelease of Cyberverse Tropper class Battlecall Optimus Prime in evergreen styled packaging. This toy was found at a Costco in Québec Canada by TF fan Guy.

This sure won't ever beat that Cosco exclusive from years past:

I wish Sam's Club would get stuff like this, they haven't had an exclusive since 2009. Maine is getting its first Costco, but it's quite a ways away from me. I might live just outside the capitol, but the interstate is still only two lanes up here, we aren't exactly populated for more than one wholesale club.

It LOOKS like a great figure. ;)^

Cyberverse had some great figures outside warrior class.

I got a hold of a deluxe shockwave for a friend some months ago and had him for a day. He looks awesome and has all the articulation of a modern mainline figure. The only real downside is no good alt mode, though it is an accurate one.

First time I've seen this figure. Need to Google up the alt mode and what's the gimmicks are.

I was just at my local Costco today in Markham, Ontario, and I haven't seen it.

The head sculpt gives me a hybrid OP & Soundwave vibe.... weird.

And going by Chuck's review (just Googled, thanks!) it seems there's very little hollowness in the toy's front, side AND back profiles except the lower legs and the back of the fists... that's very impressive.

The pics give him a very bold matte finish

Sam's used to have great exclusives. I still regret missing out on the RID and Armada Primes along with that multipack with Combat Hero Prime and G2 Jazz.

You mean the Cybertron repaint of Armada Prime? The G2 Prime and Jazz set was a Walmart exclusive.

Yeah - I remember when Costco and Sam's Club had really GOOD Transformers figures, like Thrilling 30s Metroplex. Now that was something worth going to Costco for.

And I remember the minions finding that Battle Ops Bumblebee figure at TJ Maxx for $30...

If I remember, Gen Metroplex was also found at a stupidly low price at Costco. The ones who bought a few and sat on them for a decade are surely laughing now.

They finally made a good cyberverse Windblade, I am so happy with how good she and Bee look together.
