Thanks to 2005 Boards member RATCHET 208 we can report some new Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Mainline Bumblebee Movie repacks found in France.
It seems that we still have some more Rise Of The Beasts Mainline toys to find on the shelves. Found at Intermarché in France, we have repacks of the Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniters Power Optimus Prime and Megatron and Power Plus VW Beetle Bumblebee now in the Rise Of The Beasts single cardboard packaging without the “Autobot Unite” logo which was present in previous Bumblebee movie toys repacks.
See the images after the jump and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Fred Meyers (Kroger owned) in the pacific north west have these too. I picked up battletrap a couple months ago and they still have Megatron Bee and Prime at the Johnson Creek store in Portland

I have the Megatron and Battletrap from Kroger. I think these were already covered. View attachment 30009217

Any pics? I think we haven't reported those in the US yet.
Dilbertron
Kroger (Marketplace) and Kohl's have both had them, too.

Anyone find any updates on the US releases of these figures? Any retailers aside from Meijer carrying Autobots Unite?

My guess is the Autobots Unite branding is for a store exclusive sub line, whereas in other territories they're just general retail, so in the regular ROTB packing. Although, saying that, these are the figures without the energon cube, so they appear to be a different assortment altogether.
Curiously, this Megatron uses the Bumblebee design on the packing whereas the Autobots Unite packaging has the ROTB model:

This has been happening since the last knight………

Well, that’s strange. We already have a bunch of BB movie stuff recycled into the “Autobots Unite” sub-line-thing, and now here’s more of the Power Series, but WITHOUT the Autobots Unite branding.
This entire film product line has been a bit weird, especially in international markets where Hasbro is releasing all this STUFF. Was there really so much demand that Hasbro felt they needed to dust off Bumblebee movie tooling to this degree? In this case, it feels like those Power Series repacks could chew into the same category Hasbro has the Beast Changers positioned to.

OK I think I got it.
Both Optimus and Megatron are Power Series while VW Bumblebee is Power Plus series.

These were found at Intermarché in France by someone on a discord server.
I don't belive we've seen those repacks before, we have a new box with BBM Megatron's art and also VW Bee which is hilarious.View attachment 29957201 View attachment 29957202
