Seibertron.com member Bass XO has tipped us off to a new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen exclusive set that will be available at Walmart stores.

The new 3-pack has one deluxe figure and two legends class figures from the Revenge of the Fallen line. The deluxe figure is a Transformers Dreadwing repaint named Fearswoop and legends class Sideswipe and Mudflap.

No word on a price point or when the set will be available at the time of posting.

Most likely Hooligan's lost to someone else and Decepticon Hooligan wouldn't fit on the box

Wow. I'm only getting that so it can match my colored username title here on Seibs. And.... the fact that I need that mold, and those Legends figures.

Being a Wal-mart exclusive means I actually have to hunt this guy down. With Mudflap being included... looks like I've got to avoid that Legends 5-Pack that is coming out. I like the set up of this packaging, similar to Animated Rescue Ratchet/Invis Lockdown. It's usually a good price point, under the price of a Voyager, has a Deluxe and 2 Legends. Brilliant.

Fearswoop=a worser(?) name than Pooperscooper.

by **ACIDSTORM** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 2:56 pm

I wouldn't mind getting this ,if it was a reasonable price. I'd never heard of holligan before but looking at the pictures definite homage."fearswoop" hmmmm sounds like you've just s**t your pants skydiving.
"I just did a fearswoop

"
"Oh, it was that frightening ?"

got the mold already. off topic, regarding these packs, does anyone else anticipate a "forrest battle" set with legends optimus, legends megatron, legends starscream and legends grindor? or a "egyptian showdown" with legends constructicons and the legends twins (well, once the legends constructicons are out in the us)... or do i just sound plain crazy?

When's this set to hit shelves?

by **Rijie** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:21 pm

Interesting...but I don't care for the mold much. Seems odd that this would be the only set released, I bet we'll see another, or two.

When we see box pictures like this for the first time, expect it to hit the shelves in about 4-5 months time. Perhaps even sooner. From the looks of it, you'll be getting this as a Christmas gift!

What mold is Fearswoop a repaint of?

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:26 pm

For those interested, here's the origin of the name:

G1/G2 Trakkon Fearswoop from TFU.info.

I'm tickled pink by the reacquisition of the name coupled with the G2 Hooligan homage, those are obscure to say the least.

And guys, please read the entire post if possible:

Dude its Hooligan!!!!!!! Think ill have to get this. Ill be keeping it in the box since i already have 2 of that mold but i cant pass up Hooligan. Hes one of my favorite G2 characters.

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 4:23 pm

Wow, a double obscure homage, of 2 obscure characters from a very obscure period in TF history. How much more obscure can we get.

I'd really like to see the Bio on the back of the Box for Fearswoop. He should be a "Hit And Run Attack specialist" or something equally silly.

Still its an interesting repaint, but I can pass, I've never liked the Dreadwing mold one bit. And the legends figs are just meh.

But if we are getting obscure here, how about a Starscream repaint into Strafe, or a Legends OP into Staxx or I know, Long Haul into Dirtbag.
