    Default ToysRUs exclusive Mission To Cybertron series

    Looks like ToysRUs will have another miniseries of exclusive toys, this time for the Movie toyline, to be called "Mission to Cybertron".

    This concept has been floating around from unconfirmed sources, but now we have visual proof of the name, from an early banner found at an American ToysRUs store.

    Toys being suggested to be part of this Mission to Cybertron series include...
    - Deluxe Megatron (redeco GEN-13 stealthbomber - Decep)
    - Deluxe Decepticon Nitro (new - Decep)
    - Voyager Skullitron (remould Steelbane)
    - Combiner Infernocus (Rupture, Skulk, Infernicon Thrash, Gorge, Glug) w/ Quintessa figurine

    When we get confirmation from official sources or actual products, this listing will be updated.

    Chances are that ToysRUs in Australia will have these as well, but we will have to wait to find out.

    A couple of rumoured 2-packs for this line are Optimus Vs Megatron, and Bumblebee with Hot Rod... with some leaked packaging art supporting the second 2-pack being true.

    The packaging text appears to be Latin... which is unusual, since this has leaked from Asia, and I haven't been aware of any Transformers packaging being released in Latin before.

    That latin is commonly used placeholder text "Lorem ipsum".

    Fascinating... something I didn't know.

    Then this is indeed an early packaging mockup, which would be leaked from somewhere important.

    It seems that some American ToysRUs stores are jumping the gun on their Mission to Cybertron promotional materials, or they were intentionally sent out to stores to promote it well in advance of them getting their exclusive toys, because in addition to the promotional banner in the first post, one store has put out decoder sheets for the Cybertronian glyphs/letters, for people to be able to translate the secret messages that will be on the packaging and/or toys.

    I believe Skullitron is Deluxe because Steelbane is Deluxe while Nitro may be Voyager instead.

    The American ToysRUs website is now active, but only with a small description on their exclusive promotion, so it might be starting sooner than expected.
