ROTF packaging revealed for Superion

Posted by Seibertron Nov 21, 2008 at 3:19pm CST 58,817 views
Hasbro has released some new pictures of the upcoming TF Universe Superion repaint. The first picture below shows Superion in Revenge of the Fallen packaging, which has never been seen before. It is unknown at this time if this item will replace the 25th anniversary packaging that we've already seen for this item or if this is a running change.

Here are some additional images:

This is a photo of Superion in the TF Universe style packaging that we have seen recently on eBay:

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

The box is cool but the thing inside is still a pass.

Maybe they are trying out packaging on other combiner figures and it will be used for Devastator later on.

If they did scrap the idea to release this in the Universe 2.0 line, we probably wont be seeing this for 4-5 months or so... :sad:

A bit unrelated - has anyone else picked up a storm jet from universe 1.0? And if so, does it have a backwards shoulder flap? Mine does and it makes the bot mode loose and stupid looking. Hope they fixed it.

Okay, it looks cool, but...I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THE BOX WORK(man in background:*Cough*Nerd*Cough*)! The box is much more cooler than the toy. Oh well, simpleness is bliss.

I didn't get the Energon combiners and now I'm getting Constructicon Maximus but I decided I will pick these two box sets up. We saw them in the Universe packaging and now we see Superion in ROTF packaging. I'm going to try for the ROTF packaging. It really looks superb! That face... I am really hoping for The Fallen. It's pretty obvious there's the Cyberglyphics in the background/the back of the inside of the box. The packaging looks quite nice and I love what they've done with the logo - it looks fantastic and the Autobots aren't stealing the light of Transformers any more. :grin:

That's some great looking packaging! I've never said that before ever! If I see either of those in a store, I'll pick them up. But not likely over interweb.

Early movie promotion most likely...Mr Bay is looking to cash in before the movie even is released in cinema's...the bastard...

But then again it's to be expected...afterall it's Micheal Bay for godsakes... >_>

Not likely, no reason for Hasbro to actually share the profits out of a mold/molds that are completely theirs. Bay has nothing to do with those molds.

Bay would only get profits form the figures directly spawned from the money, if he even gets profits form the toy sales that is.

Anyway, Probably just a packaging test, though this puts the release of these guys further into next year.

The Positive point here is we get to see what the packaging design will look like for the movie.
And it does look pretty good.

I like that packaging more then the Universe packaging.

I like the look of the "glyphs" on the background of the packaging. Heavy emphasis on the movies plot right there. Also looks like there is a face on the top middle of the box too.
