We heard via a listing in the Toys R Us computer system a little while ago that a “Decepticon Showdown” set was in the works. Hasbro have now revealed the set in their display at San Diego Comic Con 2016!
The set – more fully known as “Decepticon Island Showdown” – recreates the scene from the Robots in Disguise second season finale where Bumblebee and Steeljaw faced off in their final duel. The set, priced at $39.99, includes the Warrior class Bumblebee and Steeljaw figures and a lot of accessories – in addition to both figure’s weapons, the set includes two Decepticon Hunter swords, Bumblebee’s Decepticon Hunter longstaff, an axe, and a smaller staff weapon (possibly meant as an inert Decepticon Hunter). Rounding off the package is the biggest accessory coming with the set – a stasis chamber big enough to fit a Warrior class Decepticon.
It’s a cool set which only seems to be marred by the fact the Bumblebee and Steeljaw are the same toys that were on shelves last year – check out pics of the set after the break.

I did a bit of a double take as well. Seriously, though, how many Bumblebees do we need? I'll take the weapons and the stasis pod, though.

At first I read that as 'If only there was a decepticon who is literally in the can'
Robogeek28
Yeah, that was my fear as well.
jamarmiller
that would have been a nice alternative
Gryph
I was only joking when I said it would be Bee and Steeljaw!
MrSoundmeister
Kinda wished the Stasis pod was the packaging for the R.I.D Line.
jamarmiller
that stasis pod is great. Almost wish I could buy like a dozen or so
SgtLemon
I have both figures, but I do want that status pod :Lol is it worth it, yes!
MrSoundmeister
If only there was a decepticon who is literally a can.
RazorclawX
I don't have either figure so this set seems like a win to me.

Nice set, can see my nephew using the stasis chamber when the Cons need a 'time out'.
Or older fans using the stasis chamber to hide their beer.

I want that Stasis Pod and Weapons, sadly I already have Bee & Steeljaw.
The Kup
Yep.

The Stasis Pod is a cool inclusion, too bad more of the figures didn't come with those.

Not going to lie – that stasis chamber makes for a tempting set.
