Article Summary

  • Hasbro unveils the Walmart-exclusive Transformers Retro G1 Decepticon Exhaust with vintage packaging and tech specs.
  • Inspired by the Diaclone-era Wheeljack-style design, Exhaust returns with his signature red-and-white race car look.
  • The 5.2-inch Transformers figure converts from robot to sports car in 18 steps and includes a shoulder launcher.
  • Transformers collectors can pre-order Retro G1 Decepticon Exhaust now for $27.97 ahead of its April 2027 release.

A new Walmart exclusive is bringing a classic-inspired Decepticon back into the spotlight with the Retro G1 Decepticon Exhaust figure. Similar to the Bugbite G1 release, Exhaust also originates from the era of pre-Transformers with a Diaclone toy design that resembled Wheeljack. However, he had a different head sculpt and a red-and-white racing livery inspired by Marlboro-sponsored race cars. Takara Tomy would later give the design the name Exhaust and would establish him as a Decepticon. 

Now, Exhaust is ready for action once more with a new collection of items that are based on the original Generation 1 era of Transformers. This Decepticon comes in at 5.2 inches tall and converts between his signature robot mode nd race car mode in just 18 steps. AS this is a G1 Retro Transformers release, Exhaust will feature vintage-inspired packaging and classic G1-style tech specs, giving a throwback to new and old school collectors. This Walmart exclusive Transformers release is already live for pre-order for $27.97, and it is expected to release in April 2027.
