Another Titans Return related tidbit that warrants mentioning is the exclusivity of Titans Return Brainstorm. While we knew it was coming first as part of a SDCC exclusive set , there was an assumption that he would also get an individual release. However, an older interview with Hasbro surfaced on our boards with them saying that this Blurr retool was currently only planned to be available in this exclusive box set and would not be sold individually. While this wasn't known for certain, this shouldn't be such a big surprise since none of the rumours and confirmed Titans Return waves for 2017 include Brainstorm as a solo release. Well, worry no more, as according to exclusive to Walgreen's . As a toy distributor for Walgreens, they seem to have gotten their hands on at least 2 Brainstorms, as can be seen below. This should ease some of the anticipation surrounding the apparent exclusivity of the figure. So, check out the photo and comments on his twitter feed, and let us know what you make of it in the comments below.



Fellow Seibertronians, do you all remember when we broke the news that Titans Return Brainstorm was originally going to be an SDCC exclusive Well, worry no more, as according to Steven Ganne's twitter account - and thanks to our own jamesbenjamin, Brainstorm is not only packaged for retail release already, but is. As a toy distributor for Walgreens, they seem to have gotten their hands on at least 2 Brainstorms, as can be seen below.

I never doubted that he would get a single release. I mean, this is the same company that said last year: "We have no plans for Computron", yet look where we are now. Posted by Autobot N on June 24th, 2016 @ 6:08pm CDT

Neat. I wonder if this will become an ongoing thing for the Transformers brand since Walgreens has 2-3 Marvel Legends (another Hasbro line) exclusives per year. This could work for Transformers as well. Posted by SureShot18 on June 24th, 2016 @ 6:48pm CDT

Aww. They couldn't come up with a new name? Even something like Laypoad or Loadpay? Aww. They couldn't come up with a new name? Even something like Laypoad or Loadpay? It's just the same character. I don't think the toy itself even has a name in the packaging or instructions. The identity of it still being Payload was given at BotCon this year.



But, hey, it's one more new modern day toy for an obscure G1 Micromaster. Not many other Micromasters can brag about having more than one new modern day toy release. Lucky ol' Blast Master.

You could just pretend it's Payload's buddy Phaser.

Walgreens is like non existent here in Canada (at least for Alberta) and I'm sure it's one of those USA exclusive stores so most people will not be getting a Brainstorm.

Generally how exclusives work is that they'll all be available in some store in your country.

So it's exclusive to Walgreens in the US. Here in the UK it might be exclusive to, say, Smyths. And for Canada... uh... one of your stores I've never been Generally how exclusives work is that they'll all be available in some store in your country.So it's exclusive to Walgreens in the US.

Yeah I remember back when I was in Louisiana and I saw Beast Hunters deluxes and commanders at Walgreens. My parents didn't let me get any though.
