Rumors circulating around have lead us to these images of Rodimus and Cyclonus from an upcoming Battle in Space two-pack. The figures will apparently include a comic from IDW featuring the charachters presumably in a fight. To view the images, scroll down:

Digging the rub signs on these guys. Somehow TF don't feel right without them sometimes.

This set is looking great! Even Rodimus looks better than I anticipated, I really like the red! The art (aesthetics) on the comic looks a little funky but I'm sure it will be a nice bonus. Hopefully Kup there is a sign that his figure will be coming along like was rumoured.

Glad I have it pre-ordered. Love that they used the Generations Scourge/Sweeps design.

well my universe Cyclonus needs an armada and I can always use another nebulon and the matrix that's a bonus

I'll prob get this. Sold my Cyclonus, kinda regret it. Extra Rodimus will get sold, minus matrix.

Odd to not see bright flames on the hood, but egh, least it's something different.

Is there a way to remove those rubsigns, in hopes to find their real insignias lying beneath?

Otherwise, I am sold on this set! I've wanted these two since I first saw them in that foreign 3-pack with Galvatron (whom I didn't want as much).

where do you have it preordered? also this looks amazing

Man they are just TEASING us with a Generations Kup. Even the Generations Sweeps are there. Maybe... even a Generations Unicron. Maybe a Hsbro import of Takara 2010 Unicron? \

Nah, who am i kidding?!

EDIT: Matrix is kinda useless without a chain or a figure with open hands in the set... but still a nice addition. Needs Gold.

So is this going to come to the states? Either way, this is a nice looking two-pack. I hope it sees a mass release.

BBTS.

Still think the windows on Rodimus look whack...

If this is coming to the States, I'm completely over the three-pack not making it. I'll take an IDW comic and deluxe-sized Matrix over the Galvatron figure!

Fantastic! Cyclonus is one figure I really, really want!

Anyone know when this is coming out? Thx!

Now do I want this in addition to the three pack? I'm weak.....

One of the workers over at ToyArena, a friend of mine, said his boss was told that this was the long rumored Target exclusive set and that the 3-Pack info got mixed up between the two sets.

This is due to hit around Christmas time, according to the TA owner guy.

So, I'm assuming that he's right this time (he was on Masterpiece Hot Rod).

This has to be coming to America. Reveal the Shield brand? Check. IDW making the comic? Check. Furman writing the comic? I'd say that's another check.

Awesome. I do kinda wish they had standard insignias in addition to the rubsigns, but beggars can't be choosers.

I think this was the logical conclusion given the earlier belief about the 3-pack, and the fact that the new images show a two-pack, and a comic, and we have November/December exclusive season coming. Target has had their comic two-packs as exclusives in the past, among others, so it would definitely seem to fit in.

Yeah i drew this wicked cool comic and the colours are fantastic in it, i was worried it wouldnt come out for a moment but seeing this leaked is very excited.
i carnt spill any beans other than i did over at my DA Journal - http://theboo.deviantart.com/

Drawn by a fellow Brit? Sold, regardless of having bought the three-pk.

I love to hear from fellow UK Bots

yeah it was a great gig, i was actually ready to roll on the book drawing everyone in the current IDW style with the skeletor faces (since i had just finished the TFA extra books) and then i got told to do the whole comic more animated... you have to do as your told and so i hope the fans will enjoy it

i feel like a fool for wasting bucks on the three pack! although i love hot rod and cyclonus, i would rather have the matrix, a comic, and rubsigns over stupid galvatron! since classics hot rod is getting a re-release, does that mean we might see thundercracker or kup?

Kup has been very strongly hinted it, both by Hasbro and unofficial sources. In regards to TC, Hasbro have stated in one of theit Q&A sessions that they were "well aware" thta he was the only seeker missing. The Collectors Club were denied the use of the non-conehead Seeker mould as it was in use.

What all this means is anyones guess.
