RiD Megatron gets Ill.
Illinois, that is. He's just been spotted by Lord Deceptimus 2000 of the Allspark at Fantasy Comics in Fairview Heights. Time to start looking for him...
But, If you aren't checking toy stores daily right now, what kind of transfan are you?

Our first legit, documented sighting comes from Bonebot of the Allspark-- "Just a heads up for anyone living in or near Jackson, MI the Toy House on Mechanic Street has received quite a few of the spychanger 2-packs, at 5.99 each. "
The real story comes from Fullstrength Motleypuss, who drove 80 miles to get all three 2Packs and has taken pictures!

RiD Megatron hits eBay. Fans go crazy!
Mopedicon of Allspark/PHB first spotted this auction last night, and has also gotten a scan of the box's bottom. Click Here to see RID Magnus, Prime, and SkyByte.
Also find MORE RiD pictures at the seller's website, here. You'll note the back of the box has a tech-spec, but its very hard to read. Many citizens of the Allspark contributed to figuring out what it says, and here is my approximation:

MEGATRON
Motto: "The earth is mine."
The brilliant and evil leader of the Predacons, Megatron will destroy anything and anyone in order to get what he wants. And what he wants on Earth is the energy contained in the planet. But Megatron has no interest in sharing - he'll conquer the planet and take it all for himself. He has survived numerous battles and is an excellent fighter - making him a deadly enemy. His many victories have helped him gain the power of a six-mode change skill.

UPDATESupreme Primal is coming to Toys R Us (I can corraborate, as I've seen the listings in the TRU computer with my own eyes).
Also, Megabolt Megatron may be coming late, but Ben assures fans that he will be coming SOON.

Scramble City, Episode 2
It's not up just yet, but at 7 PM EST, Seibertron.com will have this available for download. They say -
"Scramble City 2 attempts to finish what the first Scramble City does through the use of recycled animation and stop motion "live" toys."
Sounds weak, but it sounds even more rare.
