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.

Seibs,

I have quite a large Sainsburys store near me, I'll have a look over the weekend for you.

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.

Anyone wanna help me out?

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'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.

Touché. I just find it kinda funny that Rollbar went from being non-existent in the Movie-verse to having so many representations, but poor old hound is still figure-less... :sad:

For Seibs and Mkall;

I checked the big store near me yesterday and there were none in, but the shelf-edge label was in place. I asked a member of staff who seemed to know what he was talking about and he told me that they are part of the x-mas range and stock is trickling in slowly. He checked stock on his PDA(!) and explained that there are only three pcs to a case and they are scheduled for ONE case on Tuesday night, ready for business on Wednesday morning.

I am in work today and have to pass two average-sized NW-London stores today on my way, let the Hunt(FTD) continue....

I truly appreciate the update. Please keep us posted!

If there's anything you're looking for that's available in the states, please let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Likely a general release everywhere, if not I'll go psycho. And you don't want Psycho Blurrz.

Have multi-packs of this nature ever been general release?

Thanks for the PM ... I sent you a response via PM.

I imagine this set from the UK will be out here in the US as well. It's been an extremely long time since the UK has had a UK only exclusive (not to mention Europe) that had a different paint scheme (Nightwatch Prime being the exception, which I only found out about recently). If I recall correctly, Beast Wars was the last series.

You've got a knack for reading my typos. I meant a general release around the world. And I believe Battlefield Bumblebee vs Infiltrator Soundwave was non-exclusive.

As an N.E.S.T. promotion that 2-pack had to be, though right now it's shelfwarming pretty bad in the Netherlands without a discount in sight (though the RotF Legends are priced down in one store).

And blame my detailistic view of the world (I only see details, not the entire picture)

Not wishing to stir the hornets nest, but pretty much all of the store-exclusive stuff I've picked up here have been in USA packaging, bar a couple of exceptions. These were in a Euro-box, so who knows?

Talking of UK exclusives would the WFC-Starscream count or is he out of bounds as a promotional/exclusive?
