Cyber Battalion Transformers Hitting Walgreens

  Via BWTF: Transformers Cyber Battalion Jetfire found at Walgreens. It's $16.99 - quite a bargain for a Voyager-sized figure - and supposedly Prowl may be making the rounds too. I've reviewed last years' models and they're superb. Obviously he's no Revolution gift set Jetfire, but at this price you probably won't complain too much - the Starscream from which he was remolded is one of the best takes on the character!
