According to this e-bay listing they are a TRU exlusive two-pack called "Back Road Brawl."

It says it is an auction for an unreleased multipack. Apparently, Hasbro wanted to do this, but ended up making them seperate Deluxes and Voyagers.

Unreleased meaning "not yet released to the stores". Looks like this will be a very popular new TRU exclusive.

Beat me to it. "Unreleased" meaning we stole one off the production line and are selling it on eBay.

Well, this kinda sucks. I had every intention of getting Hoist, and every intention of NOT getting Mixmaster...

Aww. But I don't have a Toys-'R'-Us near me (nowhere within 4 hours) and I was so looking forward to these guys! :sad:

My sentiments exactly..
I will still most likely pick iy up though..

Well, shoot. I wanted Hoist, but not really that Mixmaster (as I have the first version) ... Though, seeing as the Constructicons appeared to be using Sweep-esque body doubles...

Amusing that they made a two pack out of two homage redecos.

Carbombya, or eBay, or your local con can rid you of that pretty easily. SOme folks will no doubt, repackage it and take it back with whatever version of the toys they don't like, like Longarm 2007, or Mixmaster non-G1. I really dislike seeing that happen.

Wow, I think this will be the first time I've ever wanted both figures in a 2-pack. Really looking forward to these guys.

I don't know if I would have these as partof my movie collection, but maybe my universe collection.

Interesting that you bring up that idea. I speculated in this thread that the G1-colored ROTF Mixmaster was a sort of compromise for the lack of Mixmaster in the "Classics" Devastator gift set. The inclusion of the very G1-esque ROTF Hoist in a two-pack with the G1-colored ROTF Mixmaster makes me think that Hasbro does kind of intend to let fans include these figures as part of their Classics/Universe 2.0 collections if they so wish.

You guys took the words right out of my mouth. Now I have to wait until a single Hoist appears on ebay, cause I want Hoist, but I also want regular mixmaster.
sigh... :-(

Aww screw off. This is the **** you do not want to see in a two-pack.

by **Doubledealer93** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 11:25 am

well im sold!

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 11:57 am

Damn i guess im gonna be stuck with Hoist unless they decide to sell these separately.

Hmm, while I prefer the standard colour scheme for RotF Mixmaster, I can get some G1 satisfaction out of the repaint. I also want to get RotF Hoist. I would definitely buy this two pack for both figures, unlike others sold in the past.

Getting this when it comes out, would be nice to see some exclusive 2 packs at TRU that is not Whirl and Bludgeon :-?

What do you know another toy a lot of people wanted and it turns out to be another exclusive. I have had it up to here with Hasbro and their unfair exclusive policies. I really wanted ROFT Hoist but now I will never get him because 1) he is an exclusive and 2) he is part of a two pack

by **Heckfire** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 12:35 pm

Well...bugger.

by **WheelJacked** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 12:40 pm

Like many of you I wasn't particularly keen on getting the repaint of Mixmaster considering I have the original. However, now that this will be a two-pack with Hoist, who I was going to pick up anyway, I'm a little more inclined to be excited.
