Back in June, we reported that Hasbro was selling four redeco'd RtS legends-class figures in their Asian markets. And, while I hastily ordered the Thundercracker only to learn he was to be included in a US giftset, it appears that all four figures will also be getting a stateside release since Toys "R" Us seems to have them listed on their site.

Thundercracker (re-deco'd Starscream), Bluestreak (Prowl), Hoist (Trailcutter), and Motorbreath (Optimus; currently listed as "Motormast" on the site) are currently available for order and

The Toys "R" Us website currently doesn't have images for these listings, but Seibetron.com seems to confirm that these are the same figures via their sightings posts. As such, the gallery photos are from the Asian release. I would assume that the figures would be incorporated into the Tranformers Prime legion-class in the US and subsequently sport that (hideous) packaging.

At any rate, those who haven't picked up any of these yet can consider themselves fortunate for the greater (and cheaper) availability.
