Kmart is a discount department store chain based in the United States, with branches in several other countries. Over the years, they have carried a few exclusive Transformers toys, in addition to the regular mass retail releases.
There is also an Australian Kmart store chain that has officially no connection to the US Kmart company except the name (the American company once held a stake in the company but now merely licenses its name to the company). Kmart Australia has also carried some Transformers toys as exclusives as far as the Australian market was concerned.
List of Kmart exclusive toys (United States market)
- Legends Bumblebee
- Legends Jazz
- Legends Grimlock
- Legends Starscream
These four single-pack "Legends" toys were otherwise identical to the Classic Pretender toys, except they came without their Pretender shells.
- "Battle for the Matrix" giftset, contains:
Only Optimus Prime is a redeco exclusive to this giftset. All the other toys (including Sparkplug) are identical to their original releases. Despite officially being called the Powerlinx version, Jetfire actually sports his original release's colors. Also, despite the name, Sparkplug is his original mold, not the Corona Sparkplug retool from the Powerlinx Optimus Prime single release.
- "Autobots S.W.A.T. Team" two-pack, contains:
- Crystal Widow vs. Oil Slick two-pack
- Unleashed Bumblebee with bonus comic (Movie Prequel #1 with exclusive Klaus Scherwinski cover)
Unleashed Bumblebee was unchanged from his mass release version. The only "exclusive" part was the addition of the comic with the exclusive cover.
- Mini-Con Class 12-Pack, contains:
This set was also available at Woolworths in the UK.
- Mini-Con Class 10-Pack (2009), contains:
This set was also available at Meijer in the US, Tesco in the UK and Canadian Tire in Canada.
- "War for the Skies" Legends 4-pack, includes:
- "The Victory of The Fallen" five pack includes:
- "Autobot Daredevil Squad" contains:
- Bumblebee (Deluxe Class)
- Sam Witwicky and Backfire (Human Alliance Basic)
- "Flash Freeze Assault" contains:
- Sideswipe (Human Alliance)
- Sergeant Chaos and Icepick (Human Alliance Basic)
Notes
- Kmart was designated the "official headquarters" for Revenge of the Fallen merchandise in North America, going so far as to denote this on certain of their shopping bags. The end results of this partnership were nowhere near as impressive as the Robo-Vision promotion that Target ran during the launch of the first film, but this could perhaps be chalked up to the sagging economy at the time... or just the fact that it was Kmart.
- All K-Mart stores have been removed from Canada, making many Canadian fans sad.
