2005 Boards member Hoolagrin has kindly shared with us a selection of new DPCI numbers found in Target’s computers. These listings are all set as active with no set date or planogram info so are some way out:
087-06-1950 – Transformers Cyber Ops Bumblebee ~$60
087-06-0109 – Transformers Movie 2 Battle pk ~$20
087-06-1556 – Transformers 5pk combiner ~$20
087-06-1889 – Transformers DLX movie collection ~$13
087-06-1890 – Transformers DLX Collection 2 ~$13
087-06-1892 – Transformers Combiners 2 pk ~ $10
087-06-0019 – Transformers movie 2 legends 2pk ~$7
087-06-2048 – Transformers Animation Laptop ~ $20
The Combiners 2pk listing is thought to refer to the previously seen Power Core Combiners Huffer with Caliburst set. Movie 2 Legends 2pk possibly refers to the Target Exclusive Legends two packs Bumblebee with Shadow Striker and Smokescreen with Starscream. Movie 2 Battle pk is probably the NEST Battle pack containing Battlefield Bumblebee and Infiltration Soundwave.
The other listings are unknown – just what is Cyber Ops Bumblebee? What is the 5 pack combiner? Join in the speculation by clicking on the discuss button below!
Other listings include new numbers for assortments such as Leader Class, Voyager Class, Unleashed Turnarounds, Activators and Human Alliance. This confirms that at some point in the future we may see new Activators class toys, and possibly a continuation of the Human Alliance line (although the listing may also refer to Barricade and Mudflap).

Is this for the new show????????????????!

"we were told" and an unnamed source, no matter how reliable in the past I'd guess there is some wiggle room in specifics. Combine that with the concrete evidence of a $60 Bumblebee and I think whatever the guy thought was a "leader" is "Cyber Ops". It's pretty much the difference between a voyager and an ultra. If the source had said something about a new voyager coming out and it turned out it was actually an Ultra, would that have been a mistake? Would the source be "unreliable"?
I think there is just Cyber Ops Bumblebee for $60. But perhaps there is a leader Bumblebee and a Cyber Ops Bumblebee, then they are 2 different things. Cyber Ops Bumblebee won't just be Leader Bumblebee with a price tag $15 higher.

Actually, there is. It's not as concrete as some will want, but it's good enough for me. When we first heard about the figure, we were told specifically that it was a Leader Class Bumblebee. Not a special new class, not a new attempt at a better version of Ultimate Bumblebee, but a Leader Class Bumblebee. Since the information was coming from someone who has supplied similar information in the past, and, as far as I can tell, has never been wrong about something like this, I'm more than willing to trust their wording. If my memory is correct, the same person was also the first one to tell us about Leader Starscream.
Edgewise
Yes, I know the pricepoints, hence my reference to "This is $45". My point is there is only one new large Bumblebee mold. So there is no jump in price because there is only one figure, only one price: $60.
We have "evidence" of a $60 Bumblebee figure. We have a picture of a new, more detailed, and thus assumed larger ,Bumblebee figure. There is no "evidence" of a Leader Bumblebee figure, right? That picture of the previously-so-called "Leader" Bumblebee didn't have any actual indication that it was a "Leader" or that it was "$45", did it?
Shin Densetsu
Leader price point currently is $44.99. If Leader BB IS Cyber Ops BB, that's a $15 jump in price. Cyber Ops BB is listed at $60.
Ghost Sunstorm
probably one of those kiddy laptops like thr ROTF ones, but for TFA
Ghost Sunstorm
The 5pk combiner might be a ROTF Defensor and the Protectobots
Omegax80
It does sound a bit odd, but looking price points these days, it really isn't so far off the mark. The Kmart legend set of 4 goes for $20? Legends alone cost about $5 to $7 depending on the store. A set of 5 legends… well, $6 x 5 = $30.
I'm hoping for the legends Movie Constructicons.
Edgewise
What price increase? I didn't see anywhere in the picture that it says "This is $45"
As for what I would guess is the difference between Cyber Ops Bumblebee and a non-existent hypothetical Leader Bumblebee: probably a little increase in size and then a bunch of electronic "Cyber Ops" gimmickry.
Shin Densetsu
Same here, I just hope it compromises neither articulation or sculpt.
RedAlert Rescue
I'm still quite curious as to what a "Power core" actually is.
Shin Densetsu
What justifies the $15 increase in price though?
thedeadmatrix
probally the picture of the so called leader bulmblebee is cyber ops bulmblebee

I never got the shield either, but from what I've seen it is pretty cool.
If we can get some little robots that merge into swords or shields instead of just being standalone weapons, that'd be pretty ace. I love the giant Minicon weapons!
However, a thirty dollar set of five that merge into one weapon sounds weird. It's have to be twice the size of the original gestalt weapons. This means it might be intended for the larger robots in the series. Since the only PCC we've seen is Huffer with Caliburst, (a targetmaster), the idea of little weapons that merge into a larger one sounds plausible. Perhaps only one Targetmaster is meant to be weilded by a scout, two combined by a deluxe, three combined for a voyager, and four or more for a leader. Who knows.

I never got the shield…
But whatever this is…. I WANT IT!

It wasn't crap plastic so much as the molds were degraded (the Universe 1.0 Devastator repaint of the set has many of the same problems). The price was only so low because it was a Black Friday item.

Sonscreen
5 pk combiner could be a minicon gestalt like Dark Saber or Skyboom shield. I hope these don't suck.
Hoolagrin
I wouldn't read too much into that. I believe they have a limited amount of space to describe things.
Galaxy Convoy
They can if they use that cheap plastic for them. The RiD Landfill combiner is a shining example of that. The original is fairly good quality and has some heft to it, and I think retailed for around $25-30 total(they were sold seperately). But we all remember the yellow and black Black Friday repaint giftset. Ultra cheap in price because it was made of ultra cheap plastic. A Black Friday deal, but still…
