Hasbro sure is ready to bomb out the old N.E.S.T. Alliance Products at your local Wal*Mart with exclusive Hunt for the Decepticons Two Packs. How fitting that one would be named 'Bombing Run Battle'. This set features Bumblebee, a mild repaint of Cannon Bumblebee, with various green highlights. His nemesis and partner in the box is Grindor, an orange creamsicle repaint of 2007 Movie Legend Blackout. The second Deluxe/Legend Two-pack happens to be 'Desert Ruins Brawl'. This one features Decepticon Brawl, a Desert Camo repaint of 2007 Movie Brawl, and Jolt, a grey repaint of ROTF Legends Jolt. Thanks to the toy acquisition prowess of Seibertron, we get in-package images of the two sets that were revealed at BotCon 2010. Expect these in the toy galleries of Seiberton.com shortly, but for now you can check out the packaging images and their descriptions below!

Both sets have been sighted at Wal*Mart retail, check our sighting page for Bombing Run Battle and Desert Ruins Brawl!

Bombing Run Battle

Bumblebee has been fighting airborne Decepticons for ages, so he knows just how to deal with them. Grindor may be able to hover well out of range of his weapons, dropping bombs with chaotic glee, but the Autobot warrior still has a few tricks. He weaves through the streets at top speed, forcing the Decepticon to manuever constantly between buildings. Eventually Grindor will make a mistake. As soon as his rotor brushes a building, he'll come crashing down and then Bumblebee will have him.

Desert Ruins Brawl

Dug in among a lost, shattered field of ruins in the baking desert, Jolt waits, and watches the advancing horde of Decepticon warriors. Each one of them is a devastating war machine, while Jolt is trained more as a healer than a fighter. He focuses his attention on Decepticon Brawl, knowing that if he is cautious and lucky, he might have a chance to bring down the enormous, powerful Decepticon.

3 problems I see here are:

1.The cannon Bumblebee mold isn't that good
2.Green...on Bumblebee? SERIOUSLY!?!?!
3.Grindor/Blackout is one of the biggest robots in the entire movie series yet they package the Legends class version with Bumblebee? If I were designing this I'd flip the roles (Grindor gets his voyager class toy, BB gets the Legends)

Either way...total pass

Exactly, I don't think anyone will buy that. Were they even trying?

I might have added this up incorrectly, but I think I've got a total of OVER 9000.

Holy crap. When did Hasbro glue Ernest Borgnine's giant grey eyebrows to Brawl? And since when was "Electric Mucus" a color option for Transformer paint jobs?

No, no, no, and no again. Nope. Not gonna do it. Uh uh. SOrry. Train has left the station. Elvis has left the building. The boat has left the dock. THe plane has left the terminal. The (insert random vehicle) has left the (insert random location).

These are good for two things: buying on ultra-clearance for my nephew, and buying on ultra-clearance and attaching various fireworks to them and lighting them in my back yard.

I found 'em, don't know if I'd consider myself lucky though.

I bought both sets last night. Banana Justice Brawl is a great homage to Banana Justice Bludgeon.

I saw both of these at my local walmarts and BB looks like a Transformers zombie and Brawl is just plain ugly in those colors!!

much better photos than the ones I got with my phone yesterday. These really show off the "WTF?!" appeal of those colors.

Oddly, the Brawl is slowly growing on me the more I see him.

If that Bumblebee grows on you, it's because he's moldy

Those are so ugly and pointless I'm wondering if Hasbro is just f-ing with us at this point.

How much do these go for?

One word to describe these "Disgusting"

Since when does BB wear green?? These are hideous!! I agree with a lot of you folks here, how many BB are we going to get??? Honestly I only own a total of 3 BB, ROTF BB, Human Alliance BB, and the new HFTD BB. More than enough for me. Although the new Stealth Force BB, the huge 12in monster hunk of BB, I'll eventually cough up the $60 for one before they go out.

As for the Brawl repaint. I would buy it for customization purposes..that's it.. Everything else is junk.

Puke green Bumblebee is totally an upgrade compared to other movie Bumblebees in all the movie series.

Seriously, what's with Hasbro and giving movie BB creepy eyes that make him seem like he's saying "I rape babies"?

Because movie Bumblebee is the Transformers version of Pedobear
