Ebay seller Tfctoys has revealed some interesting new goodness for us to discuss and eventually hunt for.

In a post on TFW, Tfctoys revealed images of ROTF Arcee's bio and tech specs. But also this seller revealed Walmart exclusive scout versus two-packs, which coincidentally are just repackages of the scouts released exclusively at Target for the first movie.

And finally, tfctoys shows an image of a new minicon 10-pack, not the same minicon 10 pack from Kmart last year, no this one has some of the same CLASSIC minicon molds, and a few new ones. It also has a Universe style package, at least in this picture. Unreleased exclusive?

You can check out the original thread here, and the downloaded images below.

I was hoping for more scout repaints, not repackages.

Not interested

If they are going to re-release these Target Scouts why don't they start with the unreleased Reverb, Gunbarrel and Backtrack Scouts? Or give us the Cybertron Backstop mold as someone like Headstrong or Ramhorn?

Still, I suppose a couple people will want Hardtop and Storm Surge to be their Shattered Glass Beachcomber and Seaspray.

OMG MINICONS!

I must buy them all so that I may have them and keep them on the shelf of minicons!

mmmmmm, tasty minicons! =P~

----------------------------------------------------------------

Man, I never did get Clocker but I don't really want to re-buy Hardtop >__>

----------------------------------------------------------------

Still excited for that Arcee combined mode *waits to see*.

...Minicons.......Hump. Hump. Hump.

Damn, this is really good news. Sold.

Hooray for more Minicons. The Scout sets are a pass for sure.

I like the minicon set & ill be getting it. Arcee im still on the fence about. Right now im saying no. I know my friend is going to get her (if its a bike TF he gets it) so once i see it in person and try it i may change my mind.

Repackaged previous TFM releases. Yawn.

I could hear CP's Minicon OCD kicking in from across the US.

I think I'll be buying the Minicon set and Arcee and I may consider the Scouts seeing how I missed them last time.

Scouts, awesome. Totally getting the Air Raid surge. Been wanting that mold for so long. And Sicne I don;t have any version of the Storm Surge mold, its a win win.

The other 2. I do like Hardtop. Clocker, not so much. But I might get them anyway.

Oh my...more Minicons!

The beast-formers look awesome—especially the triceratops.

Who are Air Raid and Storm Surge repaints of?

They are Repaints of Energon Skyblast

and Cybertron Shortround

...respectively.

The news post says the minicon 12 pack are all the same molds as the K-mart 12 pack... Looks to me like it's all the Classics minicions that weren't in the K-mart version... Or is there a second K-mart set that i don't know about? :-?

I missed Clocker the first time around, and have wanted another Skyblast mold for a repainting project.. Guess I'll just have to sell off the 2 Cons

Pretty solid proof that the Armada Mini-Con molds are just dead at this point. Two exclusive sets with nothing but classics repaints.

tra-la-la

The minicons with vehicle alt modes were in the K-Mart 12 pack, the beast ones were not.

I've taken a shine to minicons, so I may just pick this one up. Gives my Universe Unicron some company attached to his outer ring.

Interesting name assignments for those minicons... an Autobot named Ransack? A Decepticon named Crosshairs? Not really feeling those Mini-Dinobot repaints, but the Mini-Predacons are definitely going into Legend-Razorclaw's miniature army.

And naming a Minicon Taxi "Overcharge"? Win.

Why would I but the target scouts agin? Because there in a 2 pack and say 25th SORRY HASBRO

. I will get arcee and the minicons.

I'm digging the dark blue Clocker. Not to mention that it comes with a mold I don't mind getting a third of (it's Cyb Hardtop, right?). Hope it's cheap, goddamn ROTF scouts are $13 each here.

The first 12 pack had the dragon mold in it.

After rounds and rounds, it will be pretty hard not to own some of these minicons/scouts now.

I'd rather see some clear figures though. Clear Reverb is my fav. I also like the clear Energon Saber a lot.

I always meant to pick up Clocker and Air Raid, but never did. Unfortunately, I DID buy Hard Top and Storm Surge, so I'm not about to buy them again just to get Air Raid and Clocker. Oh well, no big loss.

Those mini-con repaints are sweet, though! I passed on the K-Mart repaints (I have the original versions of all of them), but these repaints look like really cool colors!

Plus, the vehicle ones in the 10-pack are all repaints, thus all new toys. I'm considering the pack since I missed the Classics Predator Attack and Dinobot Teams (Have the Japanese Booster Dinos instead) and... is that a white tiger? SOLD! And a taxi too? :shock:

I'm not too sure about the Movie Scouts, the only one I'd like out of the bunch is Storm Surge and maybe Clocker. I wouldn't mind Hardtop, but Air Raid... No.

Ah, it does.

And I actually checked the back of my K-Mart 12 pack before posting that... #-o

All these new ROTF toys, and yet the ones that interest me the most are minicons, Superion & Bruticus reissue, and Skywarp repaint of 1st movie SS.

Hmmmm.....
