After occupying a spot on the Hasbro Toystore and other online stores, Hasbro has made the Universe Constructicons and Overbite vs. Repugnus set Target exclusives, confirming the plans mentioned at BotCon 2005. Cheebs of TWF2005 received these two emails from BBTS:

"Hi - Hasbro has unfortunately decided to pull the Universe Devastator product from its regular product lineup, they have instead decided to sell it as an exclusive through the Target mass retail chain. We were very sorry to hear this, but it appears Hasbro has made the decision and we'll no longer be able to offer this item - sorry!"

The Universe Devastator in question is a repaint of Robots in Disguise Landfill, and the four components will be sold in 2-packs: Bonecrusher with Scavenger, and Hightower with Long Haul. Overbite and Repugnus are repaints of the Japanese BWII Hellscream (who in turn is based on BW Cybershark) and BW Buzzclaw, respectively.
