I love these soft-vinyl transformers, but they have been notoriously difficult to find at retail. The only place i’ve actually seen them for sale is in the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart, or at the Toys R Us outlet store.

The back of the card lists all of the characters released in the line. One of them is covered up though – who could the mystery charcter be?

It’s actually 2 characters – Grimlock and Wheeljack. I guess these were not meant to be.
