The hunt is on! Literally! 2005 Board member Twincast has reported finding the first wave of the new Transformers Prime Beast Hunters deluxe figures at US retail. This first wave of deluxe Beast Hunters consists of Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Soundwave and Laserback and was found at a Toys R Us in California. Twincast has also been kind enough to share with us some in hand images of Wheeljack and Laserback. The bios for these two are also included with these pictures, but surprisingly, are featured on the instructions of the toys rather than on the back of the packaging.
Twincast also reports finding two previously unknown Bot Shots 5-packs. The Autobot Polar Assault Team (Optimus, Jetfire, Mirage, Ironhide and Bumblebee) and the Decepticon Stunticons (Motorbreath, Dead end, Dragstrip, Brake Neck and Breakdown). Both sets are repaints from previous Bot Shot release molds, but look fantastic in their new decos.
Check out all of the pics after the break!

I am loving this Laserback figure. I had planned to skip this entire line but if the predacons are this beautiful, I might get them all.

Interesting that US has got this wave so quickly. Recently TF waves have appeared often in Asia first.

Does it have the Ripclaw image at the back of it?

Still no sign of the voyagers yet huh? Thought they'd be sighted around the same time as the deluxes

Anybody have the 6 digit TRU # so I can look them up?

hrmmm 440844 item number doesnt seem to work when ever i call. usually they can tell me it is that item but say nothing comes up.

RID Prowl, Minicon Prowl, Prowl the Owl, Animated Prowl have nothing to do with each other that just called them that as they were police vehicles (or an owl).
Now you might argue that Lion Prowl is the same guy as Owl Prowl or that even they are the same as G1 Prowl but the others akong with things like the Spychangers are just cynical attempts to keep the name in use – My only objection to such is that sometimes what they stick the name Prowl on might be more suited to Streetwise (as in the case of the Alternator) or some other characters including original names as I alluded to with the name Swashplate being new.
I just happen to think because it's a Cop car it should and has to be only Prowl. It is a little annoying that I have to take Hasbro's Botshot name of Polar Bumblebee and ignore it as that's clearly Bugbite and I will treat him as such.

Found 'em in Virginia today.
Picked up a Lazerback – fun little toy! Hoping the other Deluxes Predacons are just as good.

Autovolt 127
But getting it at discount is a good thing is it not?
