Looks pretty cool. Let's just hope that the fancy packaging costs don't get passed on to the buyers! Yeah, like that's not going to happen.

Far be it from me to be a skeptic... but hadn't we seen a standard Universe 2.0 box pictured before for the Superion re-release?
Or is it being re-released in both series?

Probably both -_-

Look in the background, you can see hieroglyphic-like writing.

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:

Wow, the RotF line hasn't started and we're seeing repaints already? That's fast!

Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:47 pm

That's a definate jump, don't even release new molds just trot out the repaints, again.

See the strange face at the top of the box?

Thats pretty badass. Cant wait to see what the other boxes will look like.

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

Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:33 pm

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

Fri Nov 21, 2008 5:47 pm

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.

woah that face @ the top looks like something i drew for a movie style unicron... can someone explain why it's in a rotf box i don't quite understand

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.

Agreed, i like the packaging also...better than the first movies toy packaging.

thats nice looking box but when are getting the target combinors in the universe series?

i really would like to see the fallen the film that would be better than megatron and unircon combined

either way im definatley picking this set up.. i missed out on superion last time round.. as the only place that had him was tesco and that was individually.. not in one box.. so yeah.. superion for the win..
