DisThunder was lucky enought to find and purchase these toys at his local Walmart in Sandy, Utah.

Victor Hernandez, resident informant for Seibertron.com, has provided us with a still picture of the figures from a commercial that aired just for our neighbors to the south. Here's what he had to share:

I have uploaded the picture showing the Animated toys. Expect more pictures when Mcdonald's updates its site and when I get the toys.

If you are in Canada and like the look of the Target Exclusive Universe comic two-packs you might want to look at your local Zellers, especially if you live in Montreal.

At least that is what Protoman of Cybertron.ca has to say here.

Protoman found the exclusive Universe Ratbat Vs. Springer two-pack, and the Universe Roadbuster Vs. Dirge there and says there are two each left!

Ratbat is a repaint of the deluxe Cybertron Sideways mold, Springer is a repaint of the voyager Cybertron Evac mold, Roadbuster is a repaint of the deluxe Cybertron Defense Team Hot Shot, and finally, Dirge is a repaint of the voyager Cybertron Starscream mold.

These exclusives are due out to Targets in the U.S. in November, but you lucky Canadians look to be able to wrap these up for an earlier holiday than those of us in the U.S. Good luck hunting for them.
