Thanks to 2005 Boards member Spartan Prime for giving us the heads up of his sighting of the Transformers Earthrise Micro Masters Direct-Hit & Power Punch (Battle Squad) at US retail.
This is an Earthrise repack of the figures which were part of the Siege Wave 5 Micro Masters. A good chance to grab them if you couldn’t find them when they were originally released.
Happy hunting!

Whats the dcpi or which part of the receipt am I looking at to find it

Because everyone who wanted them in terms of collectors would've likely tracked them down by now. The smart play would've been to swap out one of the Wave 1 teams with someone from Wave 2.
It's what they're doing right with Doublecrosser. He's 50% of a case made up of nothing but rampmasters, so people who missed out the first time on someone like Slitherfang will still have a shot, and army builder who got into it late have a chance to buy up a bunch of road pieces to expand their city.

Well, considering the Battle Squad is just a Siege re-release, there's a good chance it will warm pegs this time, like Rung apparently does. Or the second assortment re-releases of Alternators Tracks and Meister back in 2005. Rare and quickly sold out toys getting re-released has a tendency of leading to sudden oversaturation.

Wave 3 has nothing new then…unless you're a map addict and must get the Siege bots again.

Ratio is fine, but they're coming as Wave 1 is still on pegs. So it makes it tough to know if the excess of Wave 1 stuff is left over, or if you missed the Battle Squad.

Proportions are decent though, not like there's only one of the new ones, they are half the case

I was referring to the Race Team. Having both DPCI's would be useful for hunting.
Oh yikes it's a Wave 1 repack plus the new stuff. Hate that. Wave 1 is still pretty common in stores, and now there's going to he MORE of it.

I'll be interested to know. I'm wondering if the other w2 sightings are in fact the w3 case too…..

I don't think Hasbro has officially solicited this wave to online retailers yet, so we can only guess based on what people find on the pegs along with these.
payres
Any idea what the w3 case make up is? Obviously there's some of these but how many and what else?

Astro and race car are together
Power punch is it’s own thing

And here I was about to pay over $37+$8 on Amazon… I am so hunting these down!

I hope they re release spy patrol 2 for wave 4 or maybe they can do it for netflix stuff.

Have you tracked down their casemates?

Yeesh. These guys are great, but as completionist and a map collector: when are the repacks going to end?

That would be interesting to see, especially as it would at least give us two-thirds of their respective Squads. Give the kinds of retooling that Selects receive, though, I imagine Vanquish and Fireshot might look a bit less like an SR-71 Blackbird. Granted, they could also always make Blackout and Spaceshot into a shuttle instead…

Nope. Searched Amazon and Synccentric for the EAN and nada.
Buuuuut they're on Target now. And sold out.
