(You can never really beat a dead horse to death, can you, Hasbo? )

I still haven't seen the last wave with Megatron and Skywarp yet - not on HTS, retail, or anywhere else.
Oh, and I am surprised there is no Bumblebee for this round...

My 2 year old chucks these across the room because they suck so bad. They don't stay transformed (alt mode) very well at all. They constantly spring back to robo-mode, and it's irritating as heck.
I am wagging my finger at Hasbro for making such a cheap cash-in on the TF name. Just because it's cheap and easy to produce, doesn't mean you should go ahead and spam these into stores.

Hey, weren't these $4 when I bought Powerglide (the only one I've bought, and mostly to fill the hole on my minibot shelf).

Walmart, Target, and Meijer have all but clearanced these out in favor of the Construct-Bots. I think TRU still has some, but the previous waves self warming until the official cancellation of this line at the ned of the year will prevent them from bringing in new stock. So, unless the discount chain above gets them, then these will either be cancelled before they even see the light of day or will only be offered thru HTS.
Agreed on this statement.
5Below has been the motherload for these guys; hurts when i go in there knowing i paid full retail for some of them.

Get the edge in the Bot Shots Battle Game with the Bluestreak Launcher! This powerful launcher helps you roll into battle with extra force. Choose your Bluestreak vehicle's Sword, Battle or Fist power and face off against an opponent (other vehicles sold separately). Beat your opponent when your vehicle converts to robot mode while the other vehicle stays in vehicle mode. Use your launcher to win the next collision, then do it all over again! If you both convert, the vehicle with the stronger power is the victor: Blaster beats Fist, Fist beats Sword and Sword beats Blaster! After you've mastered Basic Battle moves, try new tricks. Can you do a Jump Shot to make another vehicle convert? May the strongest Bot Shot vehicle win!
Launcher comes with vehicle and instructions
Ages 5 and up.

But at first glance, the colors made me think the toy was already gift-wrapped for Christmas. On closer inspection, the launcher with vehicle attached bears a strange resemblance to BM Scavenger, a character not blighted by being in the awful show, and fun to repurpose as a G2 Cybertronian construction vehicle. Yeah, still determined to never get into Bot Shots, but if I only bought one...

I thought the same... Hot Wheels does stuff like that, and I'd be into a Xmas-themed TF set.... Too bad Hasbro is too politically correct to do it... Actually... how about multiple sets? Channukah, Kwanzaa, Xmas... might be pretty entertaining. And they could put random bots in the sets, insinuating certain religions among the bots!
