Thanks to 2005 Board member Arnhide for giving us the heads up of his sighting of the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee Clunker Bumblebee & Barricade 2-Pack at US retail.
This recently revealed pack consists of re-releases of SS-27 Clunker Bumblebee and SS-28 Barricade in the new Buzzworthy Bumblebee packaging. It was found at Target in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Happy hunting!

I don't have any pics on hand but a friend who bought the pack mentioned Barricade did not have "To Punish and Enslave"

Do you have picture proof? I want to know for sure to see if this whole thread war that stemmed from this post actually has substance.

In an extreme bout of luck (for me), I stopped by Target today and found the 2-pack – it was the only one left, and the only 2-pack period!
I've only fiddled with Barricade so far – he's the reason I bought the set, so Clunker Bee stays in the plastic for now – and right off the bat he's got some pretty loose ball joints at both shoulders. Hopefully that's not widespread, but I wouldn't be surprised. Especially unfortunate considering how big and clunky the arms are, lol.

Transformers is not getting canceled. It's still continuing. Stop overreacting over dumb shit.
It's also noteworthy that Transformers is still a toy brand primarily aimed at children, so maybe, just maybe the concept of an evil police car is already kinda iffy to begin with – in fact, it was already highly questionable by 2007 -, and having a literal "I'm the evil cop and I'm being mean to you because LULZ EVUL COP IS KEWL" quote on said toy is not exactly the best idea unless you're a jaded edgelord whose only joy in life comes from seeing other people suffer.
Which cartoon dog got canceled?

Ah well. Sometimes you read the runes and spot something, other times you come up bust

That’s not what it means to get cancelled and it’s not new to “this generation” lol.
The only thing new is it happening on platforms like Twitter and it being a recognized phenomenon.
ANYWAY, literally none of this is applicable to Hasbro cheapening out on paint in this re-release/ an exec tripping out.
Transformers/ the decal isn’t getting “cancelled” and it never was at risk of being so.

F1286 and F1287 are My Little Pony.

Thank you that man, and I can see from UPC/EAN barcode list for modern Transformers toys that the other set's number is out too and completes a run of numbers.
F1993 27 Clunker Bumblebee vs 28 Barricade
F1994 79 High Octane Bumblebee vs 02 Stinger
F1995 18 Bumblebee vs 46 Dropkick
The product codes for the Studio series singles is also a little interesting:
F1280 Studio Series Deluxe Class
F1281 26 BB WWII Bumblebee (The Last Knight)
F1282 15 BB Bumblebee (1976 Camaro, w/ Charlie, Bumblebee)
F1284 40 BB Shatter (Plymouth, Bumblebee)
F1288 74 BB Bumblebee (2008 Camaro Concept, w/ Sam, Revenge of the Fallen)
Gap of four there between F1284 & F1288 – another set of 4 Studio Series reboxes to come?
Nevermore

Origin Bumblebee is popping up in such large quantities now that it cannot possible a mistake by this point. The two-packs are just starting to show up now. There's no rhyme or reason to this entire subline, Hasbro hasn't even really acknowledged the figures that came out last year yet!
lil society vert
anyone have the tcin for this?
Notomus
Just a mid production edit of their current kit would work just fine tbh.

God I wish

What the hell has this thread turned into? What are half of you even arguing about?
LZSchneider
lol are ya'll drunk?
Emphasis mine
Look guys, I hate that younger people only exist to remind us that we're getting old and will die someday as much as the next guy (I'm kidding, I don't really), but c'mon.
Oh no, I promised myself I wouldn't get into an argument on the internet today noooooo!
(EDIT)
I really don't want to fight over something this dumb. Here my attempt to get us back on topic: Why are these figs popping up waaaaay earlier than they should? And again, there were a bunch of origin's BWB figs at the Target in The Colony a few days ago and while it did scan, I still feel like I got super lucky and they weren't supposed to be on the shelves yet. Anybody know what gives?

Different opinion/viewpoint =\= hateful.
IgnikaMarcus
He's not being hateful in the slightest.
LZSchneider
Hey dude, take whatever excuse you need to be hateful; whatever it takes to bring back your preference of toy paint
Sigmus Prime
Not gonna lie, I'd rather go without that one label then spend $10 on a sticker kit just to have one label. But I'm sure they'd do one!
IgnikaMarcus
Calling ToyHax!
We're gonna need a Barricade label.

Being terrified of losing your job or having a mob attack you over tweets from years ago or poorly worded sentences is definitely a new concept introduced recently.
