An unexpected Transformers toy sighting has popped up this evening. The Transformers Cyber Battalion figures have apparently made their way to Walgreens stores. Thanks to a post over on BWTF.com, Cyber Battalion Jetfire has been spotted at a Walgreens in Rancho Cordova, California. This is particularly exciting for fans looking to pick up these larger, legend-level of complexity figures. Previously, these figures had only made it to retail in Asia, South America and Universal Studios gift shops in the US. Most times, the cost to import the figures were almost double what they’re being offered for at Walgreens, which is only $16.99.
Lastly, while there is no solid confirmation of the figures case assortment, there is a possibility that Prowl may be lurking about at retail as well. Join the discussion after the jump.

He hasn't been reported at retail yet.

Has it been confirmed that Megatron is available?

I have hit multiple Walgreens multiple times in the past couple of months. Jetfire and Prowl seem to be the most common/easy to find (most stores have at least 1 of each). Optimus and Bumblebee are a little harder to find but I have yet to see a Megatron.
I don't know the case ratio but I am betting it is 2 each of Jetfire and Prowl and 1 each of Bumblebee and Optimus.

Nope.

Did this "new sixth one" ever surface?

If anyone finds 2 of the small op and 1 of the larger please grab them and pm me.

No, I mean 2 of the same Optimus – the Voyager sized version that looks like the upscaled old Legends (Legion) figure. 1 for me and 1 for my son for Christmas.

By 2 do u mean both types?

So I finally got my 2 Optimus and 1 Jetfire that I was looking for. They may not be complex but they are fun to transform and fiddle with. Having this Optimus in hand really makes me wish we had a proper G1 Sunbow/Marvel style Voyager Optimus Prime in our CHUG/Generations collection. I'm really close to making this Cyber Batallion Optimus my main Optimus. I think if I gave him a little extra paint detail he'd look even better.

No.

Are the larger Optimus P and Bee showing up too? If so at what price?

I hit 4 Walgreens stores today and only 1 of the 4 stores didn't have any Cyber Battallion figures. I saw Bumblebee, Jetfire, Optimus Prime, and Prowl. I passed on the Bumblebee but got the other 3.

Oh dang, I didn't even think to look over by holiday stuff. Thanks for the info.

At the Walgreens I've seen them at, they are stocked in the extended toy section (the sections where they usually have the toys that are 2 or 3 for $x.xx) they have either across from the main toy section or where they keep the holiday sections.

They were on the bottom shelf at the Walgreens I went to. All they had were Jetfires. He's kinda neat.

Thanks. I've found all but Optimus.

I have only seen sightings of Bumblebee, Jetfire, Optimus Prime, and Prowl at Walgreens so far. I have not found them myself though.

So has anyone found Megatron or Starscream, or is it only the Autobots?

Found an Optimus Prime over here. This should keep the niece busy the next time my brother brings her around. In the meantime, it's not an entirely terrible addition to my ever growing Prime collection.
