Costco

"If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."

Costco Wholesale Corporation is a membership-only retail warehouse club based in the United States, specializing in bulk sales and large items.

Over the years, Costco has carried a few exclusive Transformers toys, in addition to the regular mass retail releases. Their exclusives are usually of the "large multi-pack of unchanged toys" variety, but occasionally they have gotten truly unique items. Not so much anymore though.

Costco exclusive toys

Energon

Overload & Optimus

Costco's first exclusive, for the Energon series, was... a lot. Both in terms of sheer mass and deco tone.

Multi-packs Overload with Rollout & Optimus Prime with Corona Sparkplug

Cybertron

Very slightly different from other versions

The Cybertron Magnus/Optimus multi-pack is a weird one. The Ultra Magnus is a straight re-packaging of a Robots in Disguise Magnus redeco offered by Sam's Club a few years prior, while the accompanying Optimus Prime is a redeco of that Sam's Club set's Optimus, but with the yellow turned back to red, making it look a lot like the original toy, but it kept the Sam's paint colors, making it just a bit different.

The Optimus/Wing Saber set, meanwhile, is a straight repackaging of normal retail releases, just with a bonus DVD.

Multi-packs Optimus Prime / Wing Saber Ultra Magnus / Optimus Prime

Transformers (2007)

The live action movie toyline exclusives were pretty much just straight repackages. But sold much cheaper.

Leader + Legends multi-packs Optimus Prime (w/ Bumblebee & Autobot Jazz)

Ultimate bonus packs Bumblebee (w/ Titanium Series Bumblebee)

Universe (2008)

At this point going forward, the actual redecos are rare. Here we have Cybertron product repackaged for 2008 Universe line, but hey, they're cheap if you missed them the first time around.

Multi-packs Optimus Prime / Crumplezone

Revenge of the Fallen

Voyager multi-packs Surface to Air Showdown (Autobot Ratchet & Grindor)

Transformers (2010)

• Battle Ops Bumblebee with Legends Class Mudflap & Legends Class Premium Bumblebee

Dark of the Moon

• "Optimus Prime vs. Shockwave" two-pack (Voyager Class), contains:

• Optimus Prime
• Shockwave

This set was only available in Canadian Costco stores. While Optimus Prime was unchanged from his single release, Shockwave was redecoed.
