An exclusive in the United Kingdom, 'The Ravage Infiltration' has been found in retail chain Sainsbury's. This Hunt for the Decepticons box set features the first PVC figurines since the 2007 Movie Screen Battles. In this set is a repaint of Legends Ravage, Autobot Flak - a repaint of Scattorshot, and Rollbar, a repaint of Dune Runner. This box set is supposed to be reminiscent of the Revenge of the Fallen scene, where Ravage stole the Allspark shard. As reported by TFW2005 member Unitedbot, check out the images below!

That kicks a little ass.

Not really something I care for, but cool all the same.

How cute, they look like twins! You think that was inspired by BotCon 2009 Flak?

You know, this is probably the first time a (complete) repaint is exclusive to UK/Europe since Beast Wars! Hasbro must be going nuts... 8-}

£26.99 is a ridiculous price. Usual cost for the toys are £8 each for Scouts and £4 for Legends. Which means three little soldiers are £7.

Best to just get Scattorshot, Dune Runner and Legends Ravage if you want those figures.

Whoopsie, I meant it's an 'exclusive' in the UK, not an exclusive to the UK. I'm sure this is popping up in North America asap.

Anyone from the UK want to sell me a set? I'd be happy to pay for international royal mail shipping from the UK to US. Just need a picture of the item, a tracking number, and to send you a payment via Paypal.

I'm praying for this to come to Mexico, this set is the best one, second only to Sideways sneak attack. Also, another BotCon homage, the fist one was Robot Heroes Thrust, the second was Shadow Striker and now Autobot Flak.

That would be awesome. Please let me know if you find some. I might even take two off your hands if you can help me out.

Good, at least they got the scale right this time. Unlike the Bumblebee and Grindor pack that totally screwed up.

Ravage is transformed differently than what is shown on the instructions on the individual legends figure. The legends box shows how to transform him into a jet like alt mode, but the pic on this set shows him in his entry mode. So does this mean an error, an oversight, or a running change just made him a triple changer?

Alternate transformation for the legs. Instead swinging back, the back legs fold forward and over, curling up.

Does the UK release of Nightwatch Optimus Prime count?

It was released before the U.S version...

I really like the look of this set. I'll have to find a set.

Anyone wanna help me out?

by **Autobot Strider** » Thu Sep 16, 2010 7:09 pm

Wow, I love the Urban Camo. If I didn't already have Dune Runner, and wasn't planning on getting Firetrap, I'd probably pick this up.

Do you have a question about the item or are you looking to buy one? There's a gallery on the site of the US version if you're looking for that.

Looking to buy one. The AllSpark Blue kills it for me on the US version.

If I see it at my local Sainsbury's I'll PM you!

Same goes for Seibertron if he's not already acquired one.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't they already use the name Rollbar for a scout-class figure (the "Red Bull" delivery truck)? Not that using the same name for two characters within the same line is unprecedented (Scout Deadend and Deluxe Deadend), but this seems kinda wierd especially considering the rumours of Rollbar possibly being in the movie as a Red Jeep. If he had been included in TF3, then he'd have three forms all in the same movie line!

EDIT: Found another one! http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rollbar_%28RPM%29

It's not the same line (RotF versus 2010) more like the same universe. Been there done that since the Unicron Trilogy.

I appreciate the offer. I'd be willing to do the same for you overseas guys as well if there's stuff here that you need.
