Walmart’s exclusive Seaspray is getting all the attention and reviews but he’s just one of the two new toys in the retro series. The other is Brawn who cones with his toy accurate head. Below is a short review for those curious.
He was found, along with Seaspray, at Walmart in Canada. Distribution seems to be pretty good for this line in Canada so far.

They should have given Brawn claws if they really wanted to make him "retro".

Looks like the budget of the line only allowed a new head. Still, let's hope someone will think about making a claws upgrade kit.

Maybe for the crossover when they can put him in two-pack with Wolverine!

Got the email that my Top Spin and Spinister box has been dispatched. Rather looking forward to them.

Grabby claws vs. Slashy claws... :-?

Got both Seaspray & Brawn delivered the other day. Both are really nice toys. I think I like Seaspray a bit better because it's less hollow and deco is on point and I only have a few details I feel needed to paint on. However, the plastics on Seaspray are the more flexible type and nothing tabs tight except the back panel, the saving grace is all the joints are super tight though. Must get.

Initially only wanted the new non-car minibots (Warpath, Cosmos, Seaspray & Powerglide). But after getting the Retro Trio, now I wonder if I should chase down Beachcomber and upgrade all the rest my car minibots too.

You should.
All of the deluxe minibots are worth it. Even if he's the weakest of them, try to also get Huffer.

I have no real interest in toy Brawn, and the Seaspray is cool looking, but I am happy with my TR one for now.

I got the Target Perceptor and Devastation pack (I am calling them Blackout and Runaround).

Perceptor is neat enough, but I am glad to have Ramhorn.

The Devastation guys are wonderful, the orange cell shading really does it for them. That orange is why I decided to jump actually.

I also got my Sideways and Excellion, both are real neat, and I don't own an OG Sideways, so nice to have one in the house.

At first, I too, bought the boxset only for Ramhorn. Then I noticed that Ratbat was actually "complete" with his jetpack. Plus this Perceptor got some GAINS compared to the previous SS86 original.

I could care less for the Perceptor, I got his mold in the black colors and TR still reigns supreme for me

Legacy Magnificus is indeed... magnifique, especially with the Reprolabels set.

For me, and the majority of people, the SS86 / PotP Perceptor is the "superior" one. And thanks to that, I could get back the still very solid Titan Return one for the price of a Core Class figure. I love how they all look together.

I took pictures some months ago, but I never managed to make the post, so might as well do it now. (Magnificus not present on the pictures)

All the Generations / G1 Perceptors so far:
