Thanks to 2005 Boards member Sky Ray we have photographic proof of the next wave of Generations Legends, Skrapnel with Reflector and Tailgate with Groundbuster sighted at retail. These come hot on the heels of Cosmos and Swerve, who only just started showing up for most of us in recent weeks. These were found at a Target in West Covina, CA, this afternoon.
Looks like it’s time to get out there hunting again!

I got mine from bbts they are fantastic if anyone is undecided going to have to fight the urge to buy more Insecticons.
Roufuss
Just found them in Portland yesterday, so yes.
The Target that had them pretty much sold out of everything in one day though, so they went fast. The store started with 4 of each set.

Good to know. Was out there just a couple of days ago, but didn't see them at the time. Must have missed the first batch.
flik68
is anyone still finding these?
LegendAntihero
That'a a great idea!
rosewater
That would be the best thing ever. Although I'm okay with waiting til it's a three-pack of all the Insecticons with chrome, redesigned a la Skrapnel.
peaces
wish theyd make a chromed deluxe class skrapnel
Nevermore
Guess they found a closer substitute.
(The name "Skrapnel" was first revealed by the placard at San Diego Comic-Con last year, and confirmed when stock photos of the toy in packaging were uploaded to Amazon.ca.)
Keep in mind that the old Cybertron/Classics/Movie/Universe 2.0/ROTF/RTS/GDO/"Dollar Store" Legends Class has been absorbed into Cyberverse and renamed into "Legion Class".
For Generations 2.0, "Legends Class" basically means "two-packs". The FOC Legends two-packs were the "data discs", each about the size of an old Legends/Legion figure, whereas the Thrilling 30 Legends are roughly Scout-sized with a smaller Targetmaster figure.

Guess they couldn't get the trademark so they got creative…
Wouldn't you agree?

I found Swerve at Target and I gotta say I was surprised. He is bigger than I thought. Scout sized actually and more articulation than I thought not like the legends. I'll definitely get the other G1 minibot characters.
Rattrap Primal
So it will be June when NJ gets them
Sigmus Prime
Wait a minute… Skrapnel? I thought he was Sharpshot now!
LegendAntihero
That's good news. Unfortunately, my Target didn't have either of them when I checked today
jedicrippler
What is this thread about? So what Prime & Bumblebee do you think I mean.
Roufuss
Good thing the local Targets in my neck of the woods never got Cosmos and Swerve and have lots of empty pegs
Autovolt 127
Awesome.
I've been waiting for these two to get released.
BigRC83
I wonder if we will see Roadbuster and Skybite soon.
DaltiniansTFs
glad i got to bring myself and others some joy..joy hahahaha
flik68
that's a great price for a legends/scout class figure with a targetmaster partner. I don't see the problem.
flik68
me too.
