2005 Boards member MegaHavok is reporting that the Target exclusive Movie Screen Battles sets, Battle Over Mission City and Freeway Brawl, have been found at a Target in Yorba Linda, California. The Battle of Mission City set contains a repainted Voyager-class Megatron and a normal release Final Battle Jazz while the Freeway Brawl set contains a repainted Voyager-class Optimus Prime and a normal release Bonecrusher.

It annoys me to think that this crap is going to take valuable shelf space away from things that people might actually want, like the new Universe 2-packs and Combiners. I predict to see these sets warming the shelves through next spring, eventually finding their way to the clearance racks.

I saw these today, didn't think they were anything special or unseen previously though.

Yeah Target is gonna need double the space with all the new Exclusives coming in addition to all the Transformers released to all retailers. How many Exclusives are they gonna get?

Off the top of my head I know of:

Screen Battles: Battle Over Mission City
Screen Battles: Freeway Brawl
Combiner Bruticus
Combiner Superion
Legends 5-Pack: Aerial Rivals
Legends 5-pack: Special Team Leaders
Comic 2-pack: Roadbuster vs. Dirge
Comic 2-pack: Springer vs. Ratbat

What else????

I know the Movie was a big deal, and Hasbro rightly wanted to cash in on it. But jeez, let it go. I can't believe anyone who really cares about these toys doesn't already have them, and Hasbro have got two other TF lines out at the moment. Drop the Movie crap already.

That Megatron looks like a piece of crap. You know, the kind you have when you eat the wrong things.

Yeah really. It's been a year even since the DVD release. Isn't that grounds enough to stop hawking this junk?
