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:

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.

Early movie promotion most likely...Mr Bay is looking to cash in before the movie even is released in cinema's...the bastard...Mirage22 wrote:Maybe they are trying out packaging on other combiner figures and it will be used for Devastator later on.
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 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.

Thanks for the credit, BTW. -_-

As for Superion being in there, this is just a packaging mock-up. They threw in a random figure to see what it would look like.

I think you mean bottom left. And no, it's a totally different figure. That's Energon Starscream and this is a different mold but is this colour because it's Air Raid.

And the first ROTF figure we've seen is a repaint of a figure thats 4 years old? Wow hasbro...wow.

It's fun to finally see some official source actually recognizing the fact that this movie is actually being made - but a box doesn't have quite the same punch as a poster or teaser trailer...
HINT HINT.

I feel the same way. Seems like an unnecessary use of the budget to make the wavy lines.
But the colors, hieroglyphics, and "face" look cool.

Right.... And that's why they went to the trouble of putting new headshot art on the box, adding in the correct text, throwing on a Target Exclusive sticker and doing a different vac mold for the figures inside....

Anyway, all the Target, WalMart, and TRU exclusives from the first movie were repaints from previous lines--I'm sure the 2nd movie will be no different.
