Hasbro Pulse and Walmart have posted official images and product information for the next wave of Retro G1 figures featuring G1 sculpts with decos inspired by the 1986 animated film.

The first is the Galaxy Shuttle first revealed yesterday. The other two figures however were pleasant surprises: Vintage G1 reissues of Hot Rod and Starscream.
