Hey all, I wanted to add these racers to the list. Basically, if you buy an 8 pack of AA Energizer batteries, certain packages include either a generic Autobot or Decepticon racer. I picked them up at a local Kmart, but I don't think they're Kmart exclusive. I couldn't find an appropriate category to put them under to add them, so I'm wondering what the suggestion would be, or if a new category is warranted. Or am I completely missing them somewhere on the database?

Its possible that this is more of "Merchandise" than an actual toy, since it isn't sold as a toy and they don't have character names. It also doesn't look to say Dark of the Moon on the front of the package, is it on the back?

You can find the records here:

We'll assume that they are from Dark of the Moon as I doubt Energizer paired up with Transformers to hype Transformers: Prime. :)  Also, the stars in the background of the "Free Inside!" panel suggest DotM as that's on all of the DotM toy packaging.  Plus, the "by mail" offer mentioning DotM at the top of that pic makes me think they have at least something to do with DotM.

I would probably consider them merchandise, as well.

Not I...the closest Kmart, where these things seem to be showing up at, is 26 miles away.
