(Not that it would actually make sense for Hasbro to tool up a whole new mold for a very minor character, but maybe a modded Rodimus trailer could have worked.)

*Shrug* nobody would pay leader or commander prices for a Dion with a big ol' trailer.

That Rodimus shouldn't have been a Commander Class in the first place. It was Leader Class at best, but they charged an extra $30 for some shitty accessories.

I mostly agree. The figure was very complex. Much more than a Voyager. The trailer had lots of flips and flaps but it's still a box. I disagree he was a leader "at best."

The jump from leader to commander of 72.99 (then) to 124.99 (commander)... Absolutely not. No way that was fifty dollars more than a leader.

Rodimus needed to sit in his own price point. Let's say $100. Motormaster as well. Sky-lynx and Jetfire are huge, awesome toys that make sense at the commander price. I'm disappointed that seems to be the future of commander class; bots with big trailers.

Just picked up my pre-orders Legacy Evolution Core Class Nemesis Prime and Thundercracker from my local Gamestop.

Motormaster is far more complex than Skylynx.

Does anyone know other than the Transformers 2 pack that was found if there are any other listings too? How many?

Asked the staff at Metrotown GameStop in BC about it using the SKU (776217) and it's in the system, but does not have a defined name yet. Street date is listed as May 1. Apparently, Hasbro sent out the product early to GameStop stores by accident and the company is now instructing staff not to sell them.

This they can't sell. But everything else that came out all at once? Sure, no problem.

I'm curious to know if there were other products listed besides this.

Same thing happened with the Ravage 2-pack a couple years ago.
