New Generations Prowl and Other Cyber Battalion Figures Available Online in US Based Store

Oh man, I live about 25 minutes from his brick and mortar store. I might have to run in and pick up that Prowl, because I love the sculpt.

Both product URLs link to Prowl's listing, jsyk.

Prowl actually looks pretty cool, to be honest. The blue's an interesting choice of color. And I like how similar Jetfire is to the G1 toy.

Really? When you click on Jetfire's 24.99 price, it brings you to Prowl? Please let me know.

Prowl works for me, but Jetfire's link just takes me to a store page with no items. Looks like Jetfire is sold out.

I kinda want Prowl, but I really don't need him for $35.

Yup, sold out now

i want these but not for those prices

Between Jetfire on ST the other day and now Prowl and OP here, got caught up again on these. Thanks for pointing this out! I've bought from TF2's shop several times online but still forget to check it regularly. Solid place and never had an issue with an order

Did you or whoever took this photo not have that bigger Bumblebee?

In a few days I'll pic one up. (The store is on the other side of town).

What about Megatron and/or Starscream?

This pleases me. It might not take much effort to retool this into a Prowlastator torso.

It looks to me like it'd need so much retooling you'd end up just starting from scratch... but he looks good in group photos

Nah. One extra pin/pivot in the waist area to open up for a Devastator head needed, which could fit in the big empty cavity in the middle of him. Add some inner leg panels like Hook's and a couple more tabs and it'd be real close.

The Commander Bumblebee is bigger than Optimus

The Big Optimus seems to have been changed to homage the Movie Prime (with flames even) But I can't see any changes on Big-Bunmblebee.

Big Optimus looks nice in both deco's I can't pick between them really which I like more.

RAR wrote:Big Optimus looks nice in both deco's I can't pick between them really which I like more.

Thats because he isnt a new release, this distributor just got more of that older one since people wanted it.

I assume you intended to quote the part about Bee and scrub the part about Optimus rather than the opposite ?

But that does beg the question if Sirtoys simply got more of the old one and it's not a repaint (like Optimus) is there going to be a Bee repaint too ? I'm sure there was some rumour of a Battalion Skywarp I read somewhere or other sometime... I think having all 3 Seekers in the same mould would be a an encouragement for more people to get them all.

I won't hold my breath but that Grimlock would look decent in G1 or RID colours too.

If people are still looking for these, this site has all of them except for starscream

I don't think Commander Bumblebee is getting a redeco, as the new wave is half the size of the first, for both size classes it seems. Although... It's entirely possible that the first Battalion wave was supposed to be split in two, like so:

1299 Optimus Prime
1300 Bumblebee
1301 Megatron

1793 Grimlock
1794 Starscream

Instead they all got released at the same time.

Apparently showing up at Walgreens:

Fellow Seibertronian Rysquad has som pretty awesome news for us. Remember those Cyber Battalion figures, like the new Jetfire and Prowl that we were not going to get at retail in the US? Well, they have just been spotted at Wallgreens. And at a great price no less, the voyager sized Jetfire was obtained for $16.99 USD. A fan reported to Ben Yee from BWTF.com that he had found it in Rancho Cordova, California. As a refresher, images of these toys can be found below the sighting evidence. Happy hunting!

How do we know it's not a return to Walgreens of an item bought at Universal Studios?

kurthy wrote:How do we know it's not a return to Walgreens of an item bought at Universal Studios?

There's no "Universal Studios Exclusive" sticker on the box, which all TF toys sold at Universal Studios have.

kurthy wrote:How do we know it's not a return to Walgreens of an item bought at Universal Studios?

Because if that was the case, it would be in their system. Plus its a different price from universal studios, where its doulbe the price there, so the listing is wallgreens specific.

This is cool news! It's interesting though because it's a rather large toy for Walgreens to stock. They usually don't stock anything larger than Deluxe in Transformers.

Except they do sell larger toys as well as the wingspan and cloudraker 2 pack wich is slightly smaller than a voyager box

I'm pretty sure that's the price the Cyber Battalion guys were originally supposed to sell for too. Finally, they're good value!

You know what's kind of hilarious? That price point is cheaper than the $19.99 to $17.99 the TR Deluxes usually go for at Walgreens.
And it's a WAY bigger toy.

I find it awesome that Walgreens is now part of my rotation when looking for toys now.

It's not always size. Comes down to production and part count.

Even if he may not have knee articulation, Jetfire is on my radar!

I hope these two aren't the only ones that make it to standard retail. The Megatron and Grimlock ones, in particular, would be nice.

Saw on Facebook somebody got Battalion Prime in California too.

SWEEET!!

Prowl's been found at a Walgreens in Phoenix, Aricona - https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/138063-new-cyber-battalion-figures-prowl-jetfire/page-4#entry3590091

We had Prowl already covered in the Jetfire sighting!

new-transformers-generations-cyber-series-line-t103590s775.php#p1907472

Checked the only local Walgreens Friday and they had nothing (aside from two TR Triggerhappys and a ton of Kre-o blind bags). Hopefully I don't have to check the place too many times as this particular store is in a terrible location that's super hard to drive to being on a one way road off of a bridge requiring me to either come in from the other end of the city or make a huge circle around the store to get into it. It's so annoying! I really just want Prowl and either one of the big Prime's.

That sighting was for California. This one shows that they're beginning to show up outside that state too.

Just in case fans thought it was a fluke, we have growing reports of these simplified budget line Cyber Battalion figures. Like with every other toyline in the US, reports start in California and are slowly expanding from there, with reports found in Texas, Arizona and more. What is super fun though is that Jetfire and Prowl are not the only characters being found at the $16.99 price point. Fans have also found Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Hot Rod, a fan on our Facebook page even posted an image of Walgreen's databse which shows 6 different figures, so hopefully that means either Starscream, Megatron or Grimlock will be coming too. Another facebook page fan, Nel, posted an image of his Jetfire purchase comparing him to some previous Jetfires.

Let us know in both your respective state sightings thread and in the sightings section if you find any in your area.

I'm still waiting to find Cloudraker and Wingspan at Walgreens. Has anyone else had any luck?

Relic0037 wrote:I'm still waiting to find Cloudraker and Wingspan at Walgreens. Has anyone else had any luck?

Not yet. I live close to one now and have a Fastclash I need to get rid of, so I was going to ask the same thing.

I hope they're Megatron and Grimlock. Sideswipe and Shockwave can be in the next wave with Starscream since he and Jetfire share a base mold. Well, that and I already have him from Universal Studios.

I'm just glad that Hasbro finally decided to give these figures a wider release. Beast Hunters deluxe Sinnertwin and Cutthroat and voyager 2 Predaking are some of my personal favorite toys to play around with. Battalion Starscream is also really cool too.

You guys keep spelling Walgreens wrong. There's only one L.

I don't know why I care, but this is the second or third headline to have it spelled incorrectly.

Ha, I never realized that. We dont have any walgreens in Canada so I don't deal with that place often. Thanks for letting me know, I wont make that mistake again

+ there's only one R in Appearing

with reports found in Texas

You'd think they'd have bigger things to deal with than what toys a drug store is carrying, prayers to those affected by the fkoods.

Can somebody explain to me why everybody is hyped up about the new TF line (example the new Jetfire here in the middle) Look closely at his lower arm. Its empty and open. That looks so cheap!

Hasbro lost their way... volume over quality...

It's a huge state, so I'm sure some areas didn't get hit as bad as others. But some areas have a long road ahead of them to recovery.

This isn't the upcoming Cyberverse line, or whatever they're gonna call it now.

These are from the "Generations Cyber Series", a budget line with upscaled versions of older designs. It consists of the Cyber Battalion and the larger Cyber Commander classes, and until now, impossible to find in the US, being limited to Asia and oddly enough, Brazil.
