Another new Dark of the Moon toy has been released – this time out it is the Dark of the Moon Cyberverse Evolutions four pack. This set is a Toys R Us exclusive, and is a part of their broader “Mission Earth” exclusive campaign. It features two versions of Bumblebee and two versions of Starscream – one of each in their “pre-movie” form, represented by recolors of Universe Legends Bumblebee and Legends of Cybertron Starscream, and one of each in their Movie forms. The Movie versions are partially transparent, like the Toys R Us exclusive Scan Series – perhaps this is a trend? 2005 Boards member Silvershot purchased these at the Covina, CA Toys R Us.

The Classic Legends Bumblebee is supposed to represent WFC Cybertronian Bumblebee and Cybertron Legends Starscream is likewise (I think it is the same deco as the bonus Cybertron Legends Starscream given out to those who pre-ordered the WFC game in the UK). The Movie versions represent trans-scanning into new vehicle mode, which is why it is half of each color.
Also don't feed the trolls, especially those named after a poor selling Chevy vehicle.

^^^^^^ Wut??
Maybe some children or other collectors somewhere could have enjoyed those sets..why buy them and destroy 50% of the set?? Please say you're j/k.

i bought all 10 sets that TRU had. then i proceeded to run over all 10 crapmovie bees and screams. the G1 and WFC are nice though!

saw that and passed.

I saw one and passed on it. I'm not very smart.

It's a way for people to get that G1 Legends Bee that was near impossible to get at least. I found two then but never saw them again. Pretty cool I guess.
MagnusPrimal
I think I'll get this. I want that G1 BB, and Cybertron SS looks interesting. Depending on what I think of the other two figures, my daughters may end up with some new TF toys as well!

just bought a set at my TRU, the gun next to starscream is actually from robot masters r-blade. and bee's weapon from machine wars jets. funny how bee and starscream actually looked closer to human back on home planet and then proceed to get shit faced once they get on earth. does that movie starscream always have that hole in the chest? never noticed it before

And time to spend $15 for one figure. Hopefully I can get $3 each back for the rest, but not counting on it. I like the BB deco (atleast the big bright Autobot symbol on his chest).

Man, I was hoping that the Cyb. Starscream was going to use the color scheme that was used for the WfC release.
However, seeing as the set has three molds that I don't have, as well as one mold that's so good that I have no problem with owning multiples of it, I'll probably be getting this at some point.
ShadowMagnus
going to look out for this. I definitely want that G1 Bumblebee and Cyb Starscream!

Can't wait to snag one of these. You got the product number off the receipt by chance?

I picked this set up last saturday. Mainly picked it up for g1 bumblebee and cybertron starscream. The paint apps on the movie figures are pretty sweet though. What's cool about them is that the arms have been remolded so they can hold weapons now. Sadly, the classic figures cannot.
Nerdicon
Anyone have a toys r us near them that wants to pick this up for trade or sale?
Bumblebee3
NO NO!!!! I must save them…… I will take them off of your hands to help offset the cost of the set just let me know by PM if you buy the set?????
Thanks
SSR

What on Earth are you talking about?

Awesome logic there!
Yeah, "We don't want people to have this toy, at all. But let's spend tens of thousands of dollars creating a mold for it, and then spend tens of thousands of dollars more producing it, anyway."

Thank you!
