Good news everybody! The final Generations wave of 2011 has been found at US Retail. 2005 Board member Gen. Magnus reports purchasing both Junkheap and Sky Shadow at a Toys R Us in Tucson, AZ.
Junkheap and Sky Shadow are remolds of Reveal The Shield WreckGar and Generations Thunderwing respectively.
Start checking your local Toys R Us stores! Do you have new Transformer toy sightings in your area? Let us know in our sightings forum!

As I said before they are shelving warming. Three of each still at my local Target. Come here and buy them if you want them, but don't be bitter 'cause your local outfits are still warming Skullgrin and Thunderwing.
They are shelving warming because they are two each to a case…..

I might have to this time around.
I can't afford to buy more than one Junkheap. I also doubt these will go on sale anytime after its release here. Although, I was surprised to see Wreckgars at Winners (TJmaxx).

Any reported sightings in NJ? God we suck at getting new and cool stuff

My personal take: read Ratchet as First Aid and it all makes sense.
First Aid even has a friend who hangs out in a junkyard in season 3 (The Ultimate Weapon).
The use of Ratchet is for familiarity – First Aid's not been used in years.
I personally take that as an explanation, though as it's a bio, it's not worth reading too much into.

The Junkheap/Sky Shadow case showed up at the Target I work at last night. I'd never bothered to read Junkheap's bio until now. WTF is up with that? It sounds like he's standard '86 Movie character until the last line. Ultra Magnus suggests Ratchet vacation on Junkion? Uh… didn't Ratchet just…

I have Saturday off, So I will probably make a trip to get a junkheap or two then

Maybe Henkei/Classice Skyfire with new add on's? Like a new helmet ala Star Saber's masked face? A sword and shield. And then the 3 Rd party makeers can make the uber add on's!

Yeah. I hear you. They could probably give us one or two new molds and see how it works out for them. What do they got to loose… They would just really give it a good effort and. It half ass it like those Generation Beast Wars toys.

would be nice if they would give them a shot, since characters like star saber and overlord would sell pretty well, especially star saber, red white and blue color-scheme is an easy sell
Wyvern
Ah you see? That's the problem. I don't see Hasbro making a new mold for a Japan only character. The most I see them doing is a slight remold like Black Shadow. Sucks but that's how it is right now.

I can't find these guys anywhere! I don't see why everyone else can find it easily.
brr-icy
no one, new mold, and have the black robot masters looking repaint

I bought one so, I did my part.
Wyvern
Who would they repaint as Star Saber though?

I finally went to Wal-Mart and they had 4 Sky Shadows and no Junkheaps… (fortunately, I already got mine at Target). I really hope people support him so we get other Japanese characters like Star Saber…

^Woah, settle down cowboy!
seali_me
I want those Junkheaps!

& Im planning on getting TWO Blackshadow's.
Come on Hasbro if you're smart make Blue Bacchus!

I got Junkheap and Sky Shadow at one of the many Walmarts in my area and I see them at other Walmarts and Toys R Us when I am hunting for TF Prime figures. Seems like these are pretty easy to find. I wish Warpath and Windcharger were this easy to find when they were first release to retail.
