Walmart has posted official images of some upcoming Stealth Force figures and Starscream’s Assault pack.
These figures were first seen at the Australian Toy Fair 2010 and at the BotCon 2010.
Stealth Force figures are part of the new Speed Stars line, while the Starscream’s Assault is a special two-pack for the Hunt For The Decepticons line and carries a special Promotional Code called “Most Wanted”.

That starscream looks alright, but that Mudflap that comes with it looks godawful.

Oh man, that is a BRILLIANT idea! I love it!

Looks to just be something to reset the pop-out weapons and what not while still in the packaging. I wouldn't be surprised if, once out of the packaging, resetting them will be easy to do with just your fingers. However the packaging probably gets in the way of doing that.

It says exactly what it is and does on the boxed shot for Inferno.
Gears and Megatron have the pull tab as well.

They totally need to repaint HA Bumblebee into Cliffjumper and include a Matt Tracker figure…

Wait, hold on, what's that flat "tool" that comes wit Inferno???? Some sort of energon key? or. Transformation probe???
Believe you me, thats gonna be the first part to get broke or lost.
Huh?

MASK is back!

Ok, well at least for me I can look forward to passing on these. Whew, thats a relief.

True dat!
AND it's a Wal*mart exclusive. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me.
This is one of the many reasons why I'll always love the G1 packages. A negative black will allow most any toy or printed image pop. Even the red or purple grid patters were subtle enough to give things color but not detract from the product or images promoting it.
While this may be true (as well as other sensible speculations from this thread), I'd say this is the most blatant attempt at this:
Which is why things like this make me perfectly happy:

Hurray for gimickery.

If I get this I might rename SS into Sandstorm to go with Acid Storm, the rename of Nebular SS

I'm disappointed that Screamer is coming with that Mudflap repaint. If that is in fact supposed to be a sandblasted look, it may be the worst "weathering" effect I've seen on any Hasbro product in the last decade, at least.
I'll need to see more detailed pictures of Screamer to decide for sure, but right now I'm astonishingly leaning towards passing.

what?

Come on Hasbro, relaunch M.A.S.K.! You know you want to. Or at least put out a purple Prime repaint

Stealth Force commercial
I auditioned for the Stealth Force commercial the day I left for BotCon. I actually have a pre-production version of the commercial in my inbox! I would love to share it with you guys, but I'm betting it MIGHT get me in trouble. Anyways, the commercial looks pretty cool! The toys remind me of M.A.S.K. in the spot. I also saw the "Bumblebee Race-Track" for the smaller Speed Stars TF cars. I auditioned for both so fingers crossed!

You know, that Starscream looks okay.

Probably the same reasons why Hasbro thinks sticking Mudflap in all the multi-packs will sell (the only time I've seen an exclusive Skids without a Mudflap was the RPM in the Devestator racetrack set). The inclusion of that Starscream does surprise me, though, as it's NOT that battle damaged Bonecrusher we saw along with that Mudflap in those leaked pics. Still, the fact this is just another WM exclusive, it shouldn't shelfwarm nearly as badly as Tuner Mudflap is. Plus, you could probably just get the Mudflap off of eBay eventually.
I'm also humored by that RPM Inferno, who has quite alot in common with the Universe figure (the CGI model is the Classics figure's head dead-on, the firetruck number is "401", and it's got a water cannon).

damn i wanted that mudflap (why the new pack figs are exlcusive for now and on?), anyway wh ydid they not added a skdis figure on that pack along mduflap for recrate the scene in the film
gabumon
A real Infermo lookin like that would be an instant buy.
Beastbot X
Aw man, that Mudflap repaint looks sweet (wish we had gotten that mass-released instead of Tuner Mudflap), but it looks like all they changed w/ Starscream is making the base color a bit lighter.
GAH, why do they always do this with these exclusive multi-packs?!
