New WALMART Minicon Exclusives, ScoutTwo-Packs, And More

Ebay seller Tfctoys has revealed some interesting new goodness for us to discuss and eventually hunt for.

In a post on TFW, Tfctoys revealed images of ROTF Arcee's bio and tech specs. But also this seller revealed Walmart exclusive scout versus two-packs, which coincidentally are just repackages of the scouts released exclusively at Target for the first movie.

And finally, tfctoys shows an image of a new minicon 10-pack, not the same minicon 10 pack from Kmart last year, no this one has the same molds, has a Universe style package, but has new paint jobs, and new character names.

You can check out the original thread here, and the downloaded images below.

I was hoping for more scout repaints, not repackages.

Not interested

If they are going to re-release these Target Scouts why don't they start with the unreleased Reverb, Gunbarrel and Backtrack Scouts? Or give us the Cybertron Backstop mold as someone like Headstrong or Ramhorn?

Still, I suppose a couple people will want Hardtop and Storm Surge to be their Shattered Glass Beachcomber and Seaspray.

Hooray for more Minicons. The Scout sets are a pass for sure.

I like the minicon set & ill be getting it. Arcee im still on the fence about. Right now im saying no. I know my friend is going to get her (if its a bike TF he gets it) so once i see it in person and try it i may change my mind.

I could hear CP's Minicon OCD kicking in from across the US.

I think I'll be buying the Minicon set and Arcee and I may consider the Scouts seeing how I missed them last time.

Scouts, awesome. Totally getting the Air Raid surge. Been wanting that mold for so long. And Sicne I don;t have any version of the Storm Surge mold, its a win win.

The other 2. I do like Hardtop. Clocker, not so much. But I might get them anyway.

Oh my...more Minicons! :D The beast-formers look awesome—especially the triceratops.

Who are Air Raid and Storm Surge repaints of?

The news post says the minicon 12 pack are all the same molds as the K-mart 12 pack... Looks to me like it's all the Classics minicions that weren't in the K-mart version... Or is there a second K-mart set that i don't know about? :-?

I missed Clocker the first time around, and have wanted another Skyblast mold for a repainting project.. Guess I'll just have to sell off the 2 Cons :?

Pretty solid proof that the Armada Mini-Con molds are just dead at this point. Two exclusive sets with nothing but classics repaints.

tra-la-la

The minicons with vehicle alt modes were in the K-Mart 12 pack, the beast ones were not.

I've taken a shine to minicons, so I may just pick this one up. Gives my Universe Unicron some company attached to his outer ring.

Interesting name assignments for those minicons... an Autobot named Ransack? A Decepticon named Crosshairs? Not really feeling those Mini-Dinobot repaints, but the Mini-Predacons are definitely going into Legend-Razorclaw's miniature army.

And naming a Minicon Taxi "Overcharge"? Win.

I'm digging the dark blue Clocker. Not to mention that it comes with a mold I don't mind getting a third of (it's Cyb Hardtop, right?). Hope it's cheap, goddamn ROTF scouts are $13 each here.

The first 12 pack had the dragon mold in it. :)

After rounds and rounds, it will be pretty hard not to own some of these minicons/scouts now.

I'd rather see some clear figures though. Clear Reverb is my fav. I also like the clear Energon Saber a lot.

I always meant to pick up Clocker and Air Raid, but never did. Unfortunately, I DID buy Hard Top and Storm Surge, so I'm not about to buy them again just to get Air Raid and Clocker. Oh well, no big loss.

Those mini-con repaints are sweet, though! I passed on the K-Mart repaints (I have the original versions of all of them), but these repaints look like really cool colors!
