Did you try over in the TV/Movie merch area near the DVDs? I've found Transformers & other IP vehicles plopped over there instead of with the toys before.

Hot Wheels Color Shift 1:64 Vehicle 2025 Mix 3 Case of 10:

Hot Wheels Color Shifters vehicles rev up the fun of sensory play with cars that change color when dipped in water! When kids dunk or splash their 1:64 scale Color Shifters vehicle with icy cold or very warm water, it instantly changes color. Change the water temperature and the deco changes back. It's like having two cars in one – hit the road, race the track and then change color and race again.

This Hot Wheels Color Shift 1:64 Vehicle 2025 Mix 3 Case of 10 (977C) includes 10 individually packaged vehicles and includes:
1x Barbaric
1x Vw Drag Bus
2x Transformers
1x Nissan Skyline Gt-R (R32)
1x Mattel Dream Mobile
1x Trak Tune
2x El Segundo Coupe
1x Fast Felion

This one is for the Color Shifters line, and if you are unfamiliar with it, we have a video review below as an example. What’s cool about this upcoming case/wave is that it includes a Transformers car. It doesn’t specify the character though but it’s most probably Optimus Prime as that is the only mainline casting that was made from the ground up for a Transformers car.

Here is the description and content details:

Bad timing though, saving up for something, I'm broke as heck

Perhaps the 2nd TF color change in that set could be G1 Wheeljack (Lancia Stratos).

I would like to see a G1 Ratchet. Color change to yellowing (how befitting) into an Emergency Green Ratchet.

That's before all the Hot Wheels collectors buy them up the first day that they're on shelves, after camping out at a Target overnight. Expect to pay close to like $3 million on the aftermarket.

Weird if that's the tag they're using for the regular Track Fleet line that just has one Transformer in the box, I'm hoping it means they're getting a case of just Prime and Magnus and maybe some others (the vehicle on the peg is the one from the Magnus assortment so I'm not getting my hopes up).

There have only been 2 "new" castings for Transformers Hot Wheels so far, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee so we figured it could be one of those. But no. Instead, Hot Wheels has picked a previously available Corvette casting with a plastic body, often used for more gimmick related sets. It being a Corvette, they have turned it into Tracks, with a body that goes from Blue to Black. So from Tracks to Loudpedal, if you want to see it through a more fun lens.
