Two more Cyberverse multi-packs

[griffin]

Last year there were two Cyberverse multi-packs revealed and released in America as Target exclusives in December - Sharkticon pack and Quintesson pack.

There are two more mult-packs that are also Target exclusives, to be released now in America - Repugnus pack and Seeker pack.

A reminder of the first two...
- Sharkticons Attack Pack - Stealth Force Hotrod (Auto - black redeco 1-step) w/ 3 Sharkticons (Decep - shark - Tiny Changers?) (US JAN TARGET - US$20)
- Quintesson Invasion Pack - Quintesson Judge (Decep - non-convertable + 2 helmets) w/ Prowl (Auto - re-release Spark Armor without armour) & Shockwave (Decep - re-release Spark Armor without armour) (US JAN TARGET - US$30)

The second two...
- Repugnus Revenge Pack (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/07/21/transformers-bumblebee-cyberverse-adventures-repugnus-revenge-4-pack-found-at-us-retail-415308) - Repugnus (Decep - green redeco 1-step) w/ 3 Repugnus (Tiny Changers?)
- Seekers Sinister Strikeforce pack (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/07/20/transformers-bumblebee-cyberverse-adventures-seekers-4-pack-revealed-415277) - Starscream (pink redeco Cybertronian jet), Thundercracker (blue redeco), Skywarp (purple redeco), Thrust (orange redeco).


The Quintesson pack and the Seekers pack are expected to be released in Australia at Target in Aug-Sept, as long as there aren't any unforeseen issues to prevent it.

The Seeker pack is definitely at US Retail, for US$50 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/07/22/transformers-bumblebee-cyberverse-adventures-seekers-sinister-strike-force-found-at-us-retail-415383).

The Repugnus set is likely to be US$20, as it has the same composition as the Sharkticon set (a 1-step and 3 "tiny changers").
On the back of the box (https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/transformers-bumblebee-cyberverse-adventures-repugnus-revenge-4-pack-found-at-us-retail.1197227/page-3#post-18121572), the toys are called "Pesticons".

I'm still yet to see the 3rd season of the Cyberverse cartoon, so I don't have any knowledge of why Repugnus is being released as a Decepticon, but from the TFWiki page, it is noted that they are like Insecticons or Sharkticons, in that there are a swarm of them... and I guess only one is an Autobot (the original Repugnus 1-step toy).

The Repugnus pack is no longer expected to come to Australia, so source it from overseas if you can (it is a US Target exclusive, which makes it more difficult to get it from over there).
