They’ve been available internationally since last year, but we can now report that the first of the two assortments of Robots in Disguise Hero Mashers have arrived at US retail. Robots in Disguise Hero Mashers Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Steeljaw were spotted in discount chains TJ Maxx and Marshalls in New Hampshire by TFW2005 member Sharktibolt. There’s no word on if we’ll get to see the other three – Optimus Prime, Strongarm, and Clampdown – in the US as they were a later assortment, but as the late appearance of these three demonstrates, anything is possible.

I was wondering what happened to these guys.
BB Shockwave
I… don't get it. Is Hasbro distribution THIS terrible? these things are now on clearance in Hungary TESCOs, because they have been out for more than a YEAR!!!
I only ever got Steeljaw, he is fine, but the articulation isn't very great.
Sharktibolt
I searched the news forum, only thing that came up was the sighting thread for the UK sighting. Where you had even posted about how these were showing up everywhere but the US. News credit should be given to you then.
Nevermore
Was just about to say "I reported these AGES ago but nobody seemed to care at the time".
Electro Rush
Saw these yesterday too, but I was too preoccupied in getting all of the Marvel Legends Antman wave that were also on the shelves at Marshalls.

I picked these up around Christmas at TJ Maxx. I was hoping that the second wave would eventually be released, but at this point, I'm kind of doubting it.

I don't remember there ever being a US sighing for any of these and couldn't find a thread for US, but I found the RID Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Steeljaw Hero-Masher figures at TJMaxx and Marshalls.
For anyone that may be interested in picking them up.
