Just because they are on SE boxes doesn't mean those three are also going to be metallic. And, looking at the pictures, they don't look metallic at all. I think this is a bogus rumor based on misunderstanding.

Sportimus, skywarp stated that the pics on the "Also Available" figures were shiny, I'm guessing that the camera just does not portray this as well.
The Metallic Ratchet and Megatron do not look shiny either (thanks to the camera).

no, I confirmed it with the manager, who took me to their little side computers which are at the end of the isles, and he showed me the sku with the information of the next ones coming in, it clearly said Optimus Prime and Thundercracker.. I ofcourse couldn't snap a shot of it with my Camera Phone, they probably would have thought me an industrial espionage spy or something...but Trust me.. I'm telling you guys the truth!!!

Unless the manager at a Best Buy also worked for Hasbro, this isn't likely to be true.
Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker weren't even in the movie so why would Hasbro spend good mony on repainting them with expensive shiny paint?

Anyway, I was one who got a Megatron (the local best buy only had 2 of him, one of Ratchet btw). I just compared the pic of Thundercracker on the bottom to the pic on the box for Rescue Ratchet. Both pics have the same shine to them. I'm thinking those 3 are featured on the Best Buy boxes because they were the last 3 voyagers released. At least everywhere near me they were. I never saw Prime until Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker came out.

Just about every movie exclusive has "also available" on them with pictures of different figures that are not exclusive.

tell you what, how about you take a trip to Best buy tomorrow, and find out from someone who works there.....
I took my lunch today to do that to find out an answer so that i could finally get some piece of mind and let ya'll know what I found out, since my earlier posts were hazy, 1 because of greygoose and Cranberry, the other because I was in a hurry with the lady at the store...so i went back to get the scoop from the Manager.. I'm still here arguing my validity.. and I should be home eating a nice dinner.. I'm starving myself for the fandom!!! ok, well, now I'm leaving work and going home, I'll be back later tonight.. see ya later guys..
