Transformers Prime Cyberverse Legion Series 3 and Bot Shots Series 2 have been spotted at retail!

Cyberverse Legion Series 3 features the black DOTM Soundwave repaint, the Mirage repaint of ROTF Sideways, Breakdown, and Evac from Transformers: The Ride 3D. The sighting was made by TFW2005 member themanwithaplan at a Toys"R"Us in Alhambra, California.



Bot Shots Series 2 features Mirage, Ratchet, Brawl, and a translucent Bumblebee chase figure. These little guys were spotted by TFW2005 member Sideswipe1954 at a Toys"R"Us in Frederick, Maryland.

I like the uniform packaging for the non-Prime toys....

Oh man, that Evac..

You know, someone pointed it out before, but I never noticed: The packaging on the Evac, Soundwave, and Mirage figures all say "Transformers" but the Breakdown figure is the only one that says "Transformers" with the "PRIME" logo at the bottom. That being said, Hasbro is making it obvious that SW, Evac, and Mirage ARE NOT part of the Prime line.

If they can release these Legends figures in faux Prime packaging, why can't they do the same with other unreleased DOTM figures? I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I'm just saying...

Has anyone picked up any of these bot shots? I saw the package with Megatron and Nemesis Prime and thought about it.

I have the starscream botshot, and he's ok for what he is. I'll be getting ratchet when I see him, since I have a good ratchet collection going.

Outside of transformers I have a few mini figures, and I feel the botshots fit in. Robot heroes are ok, but I like these guys better since they actually transformer.

Botshots could quickly become my plastic crack.

looks like hasbro finally learned to keep the packaging close to the same and we will hopefully never have a RTS indecent again. Soundwave & evac are the only ones im interested in but ill wait until walmart gets em, not paying a dollar more just so i can say i got it first.

Series 3? Pretty sure that's just series 2...
Still, the only small TFP figure I've seen is a Commander Optimus - no Legions, no other Commanders anywhere

Will definitely pick up that Mirage....it'll be the closest we'll get to a DOTM Mirage figure, even though it's absolutely not what he looked like in the movie.

found them at TRU? SHENANIGANS!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else notice that it's DOTM Soundwave and not Prime Soundwave? Still, good mold, I'll probably pick up a couple more.

there is no reason Hasbro can't omit the Prime logo from larger packaging and sell non-Prime characters in the same line. I'd not be surprised if that's exactly what they end up doing. Which will be fine, as long as the Prime figures that are making up the initial waves of the Robots In Disguise line sell well enough that stores order more.

I was going to stop at that TRU in Frederick last night but didnt! Ha!

Anyway, they still had a Ratchet and Brawl on the pegs so I picked em up. Cool little dudes.

agreed.. and they should get rid of the newest prime repaint of deluxe bumblebee (which will probably free up two slots from that case) and add dotm soundwave and Q. .. problem solved, everyone's happy, hasbro gets points with fans. it's too bad they don't give a crap.
