Transformers: Universal Studios is the name under which Transformers toys are sold in Universal Studios theme park stores as merchandising for Transformers: The Ride – 3D, starting in 2012. As can be expected, Evac makes up a third of the line-up.

Evac was also sold as part of the Cyberverse Series 2 Legion Class assortment at general retail. The toy itself is identical to the Universal version, with the packaging using the standardized Series 2 packaging design based on the Prime franchise. While the version that was available in the United States lacked the "Prime" moniker, the multilingual European packaging retained it.

Miscellaneous

  • Evac plush toy
  • Evac 12 Inch Statue
  • Notes

    [edit]
    • To complicate matters further, all toys are simply branded Transformers: Universal Studios on their packaging… except for Deluxe Optimus Prime, who has a packaging variant that is branded Transformers: Universal Studios Hollywood.<ref name="hollywood">"Universal Studios Hollywood" Deluxe Optimus Prime and "Universal Studos" Bumblebee.</ref>
    • In 2017, Deluxe Class Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Evac were re-released in updated packaging along with new release Snarl. In 2022, Bumblebee was re-released again in new packaging (this time boxed instead of on a blister card), making him one of the last vestiges of English-only packaging instead of multilingual packaging, which has become the new worldwide standard for Hasbro as of post-2019.
    • Studio Series "As Seen In Parks" Megatron was originally announced as a Universal Studios exclusive, based on his appearance in Transformers: The Ride, but due to the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}COVID-19 pandemic|{{#if:||COVID-19 pandemic}}]], the figure ultimately ended up being made available through various online retailers in the United States instead. Likewise, Studio Series N.E.S.T. Bumblebee, who was available in the same manner, was later revealed to have been planned as a Universal Studios exclusive as well, but since he wasn't as far down the production pipleline, he was announced as an "online exclusive" from the get-go.
