Picture of Bottom Of Movie Trilogy Wheeljack (Showing Evac part of Mainline) We know Evac was planned for the Movie Trilogy for release for retail at one point. This confirms what we saw from the slide show Hasbro Asia Presented.

You do realize Evac's received a US release, right? He's been available at Universal Studios in both Hollywood and Orlando for over a year now, and he can be purchased from their website, too.

While not a mainline release, he wasn't an Asia exclusive figure. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here?

I know he was released at Universal Studios. He was once planned for regular release under the Movie Trilogy line at Retail. He is on the bottom of my Unreleased Movie Trilogy Wheeljack.

Interesting, so if I got this straight, Evac would have been general retail in Asia, but an exclusive in the US? Makes sense.

Initially the Movie Trilogy Line was planned for US mass retail. Then no word from Hasbro until Hasbro Asia announced that they would release the line in Asia only.

They were then cancelled and Evac was released as a Universal Studios Exclusive. Some of the Movie Trilogy Cyberverse figures did make it to retail however under the Prime Cyberverse Line. Soundwave / Soundblaster repaint , Evac and Mirage.

The only Movie Trilogy figure to be officially released under the line was Optimus Prime Deluxe with Trailer.

I do however have the Wheeljack as a Finished Product further proving that the line was at least produced in smalls numbers or was meant to be released.


The Movie Trilogy Line would of been in the USA

Optimus Prime w/ Trailer

The line was planned for Spring 2012 and everything outside of Optimus Prime w/ trailer was cancelled and the Cyberverse moved to the Prime Line although lacking the Prime Title on the cards.

I posted comparison pics with Movie Trilogy Optimus Prime.

Here are the pics of the unreleased DOTM / Movie Trilogy figures I have along with Optimus Prime Movie Trilogy. A Movie Trilogy Bumblebee was found in Europe in small numbers on cardback finished product.

The released versions of Evac Cyberverse.

The Universal Studios , Transformers (2012) and Transformers Prime versions.

I also want to bring to everyone's attention I was the one who claimed Movie Trilogy figures were cancelled ahead of Toy Fair 2012. I claimed the same thing about the Beast Hunters Lines and Generations Legends being cancelled. Hasbro denied that the Movie Trilogy lines were not cancelled but would be released in Asia and Canada. This did not happen. Sound Familiar anyone???

Mentions of Asian and Canada planned release
