Universe Insecticons and Powerglide in Package

Looks nice, but being a Walmart exlusive means hard-to-find where I live. The Walmart near my house is usually poorly stocked with Transformers, especially exclusives.

Hasbro, couldn't you have released this Powerglide in the first place?

So there are name changes....

That's so weak and makes it a no for me. Encore style figures should have the original names.

maybe somone owns the rights to those names and habro dosent want to pay?
either way in getting them...i dont need another powerglide

I like what I see. The Insecticons have their chrome, which was the major worry for me, and Powerglide has retained the grey arms seen on the one shown at Botcon. Plus both should come to the UK (Asda and TRU have both been pretty good at bringing in the relevent exclusives for the last couple of years, MP 'Screamer and WW Prowl and Grimlock being notable exceptions).

Only thing that I would have liked to have seen was the inclusion of the enegon cubes that the bookbox reissues came with, but no biggie on that score.

Are the Insecticons Walmart exclusives too?

Or are they going to be TRU Exclusives?

Ah thanks.

Yes, Kickback is still Kickback!

And it makes sense. I believe Robot Hero Shrapnel was called Insecticon, and Robot Hero Bombshell was also called Hardshell.

So this probably could have been, or was predicted by truly detail oriented folks.

Can't wait for the Incecticons and Perceptor. Could care less about the names - I don't think anyone will be displaying the inside flap cover anyways.

And please quit whining about the names. At least appreciate the effort Hasbro took to even try and release them. Besides, what's in a name? I could be calling them "Fuzzywuzzy", "Snugglywugglykins" and "Periwinkle Stardust" and I'd still be happy.

I shall call one of them "Titty-Whiskers"..

Seriously though, I'm glad they are releasing this at all..I never got these as a kiddo, here's my chance!!!

I'm sure that is the reason, but still lame IMO. Oh well, it's still good for folks wanting this set. I'll just stick to my originals.
