The official Transformers Instagram and Facebook accounts surprised us with the reveal of new Transformers Earthrise Target Exclusive Thundercracker & Skywarp 2-pack And Decepticon Clones.
According to the information shared, these packs will be available this summer exclusively at Target stores in the US. Skywarp and Thundercracker are the inevitable repaints of Earthrise Starscream mold, but we can spot that they have different face expressions. Pounce and Wingspan are the previously released Titans Return molds now sold together in a single pack. They were kind of hard to get before since Pounce was available only in the “Siege Of Cybertron” set and Wingspan was sold in a 2-pack together with Cloudraker as a Walgreens exclusive.
Check out the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!
Update – additional images and product descriptions added after the break.

…did you just reply to a literally 2-year-old post??
WereDragon EX
Well, based on my totally unscientific observations (which is just me looking for photos of other peoples' figures), it seems prevalent enough that I'm satisfied mine isn't a dud or some sort of production defect/issue.
JJJ
If it's a mould line, then it'll be on more than just a few figures. It might even be on all of them.
WereDragon EX
Yeah, I know that came out wrong, lol. It's one of those things I guess you can't unsee once you see it. Especially if you then go looking at images of other peoples' figures to try and see if yours was a dud or if it's something endemic to that particular figure. If kinda baffles me why Hasbro didn't paint the crotch yellow like they did with the Siege Optimus figure, since the Earthrise figure shares similar yellow portions on the waist like said Siege figure. That would have at least helped to cover up that mold line.
CobraKai
….. so, you’re eyes gets drawn to Optimus Prime’s crotch. That’s *ahem* very interesting.
Lol. Jk.
WereDragon EX
Well, that's pretty interesting. Pity it's on a rather noticeable location on the figure and your eye kinda gets drawn to it…
Not really. It being on a number of figures doesn't necessarily make it a common occurrence. It could be a batch or regional thing.
DecepticusPrime
You literally answered your own question….
octobotimus
Yep, it’s probably due to how the figure is molded so it’s probably on most of them.
WereDragon EX
Yeah, I know it's not technically a crack, hence the air quotes. But that's what they call it? A mold line? Fascinating. In any case, it seems like quite a number of figures (at least from what I've seen on the internet) have it, so I was wondering if it was pretty common or not.
octobotimus
Not a crack, just a mold line.
WereDragon EX
There's a line (or "crack") down the middle of my Earthrise Leader Optimus Prime's crotch, and I see it on some other figures in various galleries and on some photos in this thread. Is that a common occurrence? I find it kind of an eyesore since it does draw attention right to that spot.
FORT MAXie
You might wanna keep that wheel
ckhtiger
Oh, I did.
DecepticusPrime
Post in the figures feedback thread if you havent already
ckhtiger
Anyone need this piece? TFsource sent me the wrong replacement part. Just would ask for $7 shipping. PM me if interested, otherwise I'm throwing it away.

yeah, I know lots of members are hopeful that hasbropulse will eventually put up the dirge/Ramjet, Ironhide/prowl, or the Ratchet/lifeline sets but I also highly doubt it myself especially when Amazon couldn’t even fulfill all their own pre-orders due to the demand. I got all my preorders with no delays and no issues from Amazon. But since prices for the Coneheads have remained steady this year on eBay, although still expensive – won’t really hurt the guy who really wants the Coneheads to wait a bit more to be 100% sure. Unless he is desperate and want the Coneheads now and can’t wait. I personally think $280 for Dirge/Ramjet is way too expensive but that’s what the market dictate. I probably wouldn’t want pay more than $160 for the set

So far they've only put up exclusives that have been relatively easy to find compared to the big 3 (Ironhide/Prowl, Coneheads, and Ratchet/Lifeline). The fact that the Barricade/PCP set in particular, which was released after those others, has already made it there makes me doubt that they'll end up on Pulse unless they do another production run specifically for that. Do we know if the Thundercracker/Skywarp restock was another run or just leftovers of the initial one?
