Some new listings have been found in the Toys R Us computer system by TFW2005 member Prime135. There’s a few listings for things we already know about – including the Warrior class Starscream and the larger Power Surge version of Starscream – and the Generations Alt Modes series.
What we are talking about here, though, is a new listing for something we’ve not heard about before. The listing is for a Robots in Disguise set, named “Decepticon Showdown”. It’s priced at $39.99, and sounds like it might be some sort of giftset.
We’re not sure exactly what this set involves. The name suggests it will be a battle pack – so expect a Bumblebee and maybe an Optimus in the box, along with a Decepticon like Steeljaw or Starscream. We may learn more at SDCC next week – so please watch this space.

Decepticon showdown huh?
Starscream, and I would guess Steeljaw and maybe Thunderhoof?
Definitely.
Steeljaw's figure sucks.
He deserves a do over badly.
Windsweeper II
A better Steeljaw mold would be most welcome.

So both yellow?
Man, I'd sure love if this set included either a new, improved Steeljaw mold, or warrior figs of some of the Decepticons who haven't gotten them. But chances are it's just a two-pack of existing figures.

I expect a boxset that will have the lamest Autobot and Decepticon molds.
So yeah, Bumblebee and Steeljaw sound accurate.

Actually I haven't, the listing for the new deluxe assortment is listed as. $14. I'm basing off of that, but I'm sure some inflation will follow on the $40 price.

You're forgetting this is Toys R Us we're talking about here.
Purple Heart
I'm glad it's more Decepticons in general.
If it's $40 I'd expect it to be a 3-pack.

Altmodes are those big head figures where you can change between a tiny vehicle or tiny static robot body.
Gryph
What if Decepticon Showdown is a two pack of Warrior Class Bumblebee and Steeljaw in G1 colors?
