i was in kb toys yesterday and i saw a cybertron scattorshot but it was in a universe box. universe came a couple years before cybertron so how could cybertron scattorshot be in a unverse box?
it had his cyber key and everything!

Repackaged overstock, intended for sale at discount stores and the like. Hasbro did it with Energon, and I'm guessing they did it again with Cybertron.

Seen at KB Toys, Family Dollar, Bealls, and many other discount stores all around. The only thing is this time they didn't change any coloration of the figures.
And Universe is like... An on-going side line. You've got the main line seen in regular retail stores everywhere, then you've got Universe, where you can find at any point in time in discount stores. In the Universe packaging, you'll have figures from all sorts of different lines.
At one point, Universe made it into regular retail with some really sought-after exclusive repaints. Among them, some of the most mentionable was: Nemesis Convoy, Razorclaw, Desert Camo Ruination, King Atlas, Depthcharge, and Ramjet.
Oh and I'm probably wrong in some areas here. I'm sure someone will correct me.

Universe was conceived of as a repaint-only main line, but it became a bucket for repackagings in recent years. And Arctic/Urban Ruination was still RiD, Universe Ruination was Desert Camo.
