This is kind of two news pieces in one. Firstly, there are new Transformers themed toys at Walmart, in the form of the officially licensed Transformers metal minifigures from Jada. This set has 18 figures of G1 characters all made of die cast metal and they measure a little less than 2 inches in height. While these sets have an MSRP of $25 USD (like this GI Joe set here), this set was priced at only $12 USD. This is a pricing error since this same set is still on preorder at Amazon.com for the MSRP price. There is only one sighting so far, posted on the Transformers Addict Facebook page, where this was found in Texarkana, AR, so we do not know if this is the same price you'll see at your local Walmart when you find it. So, does this set interest you? And would it interest you at this price? Let us know!

It is indeed, I can't forget that exposed pelvic region.

It's $30 so it is in fact cheaper than a Voyager. If I remember right these ones at this price point are pretty big, closer to MP-01 Prime than Earthrise Prime.
And really nobody should care if non-Transforming figures exist if they aren't preventing a transforming one from happening.

Still overpriced though. Don't know who'd actually buy this over a fully transforming version. Even though transformers are overpriced in general.

Anyone who wants a cool looking truck without a bunch of panel lines to stick on a shelf? Even the best Optimus Prime figure still doesn't look like a perfectly seamless truck (unless it's a shellformer like some of the movie Primes). I've got a few dozen Primes of every shape and size, what I don't have is a perfect looking truck so I do intend to buy a few of these.

I have movie Bee and Crosshairs, and they are really nice. I can't wait to display them next to the ones I have in robot mode. These are very well done vehicle modes. And sometimes, the vehicle mode needs to be allowed to shine like this

Also, it is marked on the box that this set is Walmart exclusive.

Mirage, Wheeljack, Nemesis Prime, Nova Storm,
Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Red Wing, Acid Storm,
Rhinox, Airazor, Soundblaster, Battletrap

edit:
yellow Cliffjumper...should've just painted the face Orange and sold it as Hubcap
red Bumblebee... then that's Volks in my eyes

The OP's at least a different pose, but probably included to ensure sales maybe. Something something most iconic transformer something.
A Fort Max would've been very awesome, though. Makes the inclusion of Battletrap(?) even more baffling. Not that I'm complaining a character who wasn't in the cartoon is getting a die-cast figure, but...
Also I'm guessing the 'Bee & Cliff' are probably included to reuse molds call back to their MicroChange variants.

She doesn't when you realize that all those Maximals are the ones appearing in ROTB.

By that logic I guess that explains the random inclusion of Battletrap as well.
Now that we know there's a second set I ended up buying the first one. For under $12 for 18 figures they're a good buy, much better than the $1.25 each for similar Jada figures at Dollar Tree.

Who decided lets release some small figures that don’t offer anything that isn’t available already and in top of that done in away that is poorer than anything that came before it. I have something similar that i got when i was a kid in the 80s and it’s better made. If you buy this I’m selling I’m a C@?t tshirts for a couple hundred and I have mispelt it too, it’s an exclusive too so, and im sure its got some die cast as all tf fans love abit of die cast
I bought the first set and I'll be buying the second set too. They don't really hold up when viewed up close, but at a distance they look great populating city bots or just standing at their feet for a better sense of scale than regular figures can give them. They're also cheap (in the US anyway, though I suspect the second set will cost more) at only $12 for 18 figures.

Series 1
Series 2
Series 3
Series 1 just gives a choice of vertical and horizontal, series 2 and 3 exclusives just swap a out two carryovers with two repaints, though series 2 at least gives you a new character unless you consider Red Bumblebee a different character.
Also the new molds decline rapidly at wave 3.
Series 1:
New molds 18/18
New characters 18/18
Series 2:
New molds 9/18 - Optimus Prime (axe), Optimus Primal, Beast Megatron, G1 Scorponok, Mirage, Cheetor, Rhinox, Airazor, Battletrap.
New repaints 6/18 (8/18 for exclusive set) - Bumblebee (yellow Cliffjumper), Nemesis Prime, Nova Storm, Acid Storm, Redwing, Soundblaster (plus exclusive set - Cliffjumper [red Bumblebee], Spin-Out)
Recycled figures - 3/18 (1/18 for exclusive set) Wheeljack (both sets), Arcee, Ironhide (retail set only)
Series 3:
New molds 4/18 - Alpha Trion, Galvatron, Tigatron, Waspinator
New repaints 2/18 (4/18 for exclusive set) - Bitstream, Starscream (plus exclusive set - gold Optimus Prime, gold Soundwave)
Recycled figures 12/18 (10/18 for exclusive set) - Optimus Prime (axe), Bumblebee, Megatron, Optimus Primal, Rhinox, Airazor Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Prowl, Soundwave (both sets), Beast Megatron, G1 Scorponok (retail set)
I'm going to guess series 3 is the last one unless this is the money saving series and they come back with lot of new molds in series 4. Series 3 really should have replaced Prowl with Hot Rod since they already added all the other previously made good and evil leaders to that set.
And yes, if you buy the right (or wrong) sets you can end up with three of the same Arcees.
