While SDCC chugs along, it's important to remember that news still happens outside that convention! Fellow Seibertronian
Samsonator has spotted the
Walmart-exclusive G1 reissue Minibots at (naturally) a Walmart near South Surrey BC. Bumblebee, Swerve and Tailgate were all present and accounted for, at $11.97 CAD (about $9.10 USD)... and Swerve and Tailgate also brought with them some more interesting news.
It seems that a new variety of rubsigns has debuted with these reissues, differing from the old kind in a few ways. Aside from a more reflective silver, the actual "rubsign" part itself is apparently made from a softer material, and the Autobot logo appears simply as red rather than a variety of colors depending on the temperature.
Check out the image of the sighting below, and check
Samsonator's Twitter post for a video showing off the new rubsigns! Share any thoughts you may have in the
Energon Pub Forums, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news!
