I recently received my Animated Voyager Megatron from BBTS (it was on clearance) and it had these stickers on the box that I've never seen before. I've ordered from BBTS lots of times before, but never had these on the items that I received. Just wondering if anyone else got boxes with these stickers on them as well.

Seems to me its just the southeast Asian + Australia packaging instead of the American one.

BBTS gets its stock from many places. Its not a stretch to think they got this from Asia more so since Voyager Megatron has long since vanished from most American stores.

I never knew there was an Australia packaging as oppose to an American one. Now that you mentioned it, I dug up an old box and found that the texts on the bottom are indeed different. :-?

Packaging is usually regionalized.

For instance Canada, Mexico and South America usually get the trilingual packaging. English, Spanish and French.

While American packaging only has English.

Which is why we usually don't get full bios in the back of our packages or full tech specs. Too much text to put there.

I imagine there's also European packaging with some differences.

Wonder why the Japan version of ROTF and movie TFs got stickers on them as well instead of Japanese packaging. :-?

I have a European Union Energon Ultra Magnus with six languages.

I think Dutch, but I can't be sure, and it's packed away somewhere :-(
