Some time ago, we had reported a new clear red variant of Super 7 ReAction Optimus Primal. Now we have our first US sighting of this ReAction Transformers Beast Wars “Burning Red” Optimus Primal at Target.
This figure is inspired by Burning Convoy as seen in the Japan exclusive Beast Wars II movie. It was found at a Target in Roseville, Minesota by Flash1087 and at another Target in Glendale Galleria, Califonia by Fuze9. For those interested in tracking down this variant, the DCPI number is 087263339.

That was perfect timing; Thank You.
Both should be arriving on Friday which now, for the time being at least, will leave me complete on TF ReAction figs.
Thanks again!

Burning Red Primal is now up on Target’s website (as is Tigatron, link in the main thread), so you can either see which stores around you have it, or have it shipped to you for free with your debit RedCard!

This was not on my bingo card.

I’m surprised that not even Takara has made this yet. Episode-specific redecoes are very much part of their TF back catalog.

There's another prime repaint / exclusive opportunity for them.

Sweet!
Between this and the Tigatron, i have to keep my eyes open.

Roseville, MI!

Such a missed opportunity.

Seriously, all I want is the Studio Series Beast Wars II Movie 25th Anniversary Burning Convoy/Flash Lio Convoy 2-pack. Is that too much to ask? I will happily buy both the Optimus Primal and Leo Prime molds for a third time if I can get them in those colors.

I’m still waiting for a Universe redeco of Kingdom Primal. Maybe one day…

You know if the Takara repaint of Kingdom Primal doesn\'t get a wider release, I might just be fine with this maybe
Black Convoy
Better report it here in the news area. I will update it later today. Thanks
Fuze9
Uh, nov 8.

I like that they got his head the tight color.

This is a figure that really shouldn't exist on its own. Burning Convoy and Flash Lio Convoy are a duo. If I buy this figure, and Super 7 never makes Flash Lio Convoy, I'll probably regret the purchase. If I pass on this figure, and Super 7 does eventually make Flash Lio Convoy, then I'll regret passing on this Burning Convoy figure. It's a gamble either way.
Black Convoy
Which city/state did you find him? Thanks
Flash1087
Oh, good call! It should be 087263339, according to the receipt.
Awesome! Hope it helps someone!
Novaburnhilde
Hell yeah.
Gimme have it.
Black Convoy
Let me check, but I think this may be our first Target sighting.

Dreams of you all through my head…
