Transformers: Universal Studios
From MediaWiki
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.

Deluxe Class Evac was at one point announced to be released as part of the Movie Trilogy Series Deluxe Class assortment in Hasbro's Asian markets.[1] These plans ultimately never came to fruition, as none of the Movie Trilogy Deluxes were released.

Notes
- 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.[2]
- In 2017, Deluxe Class 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.
- A Studio Series figure based on Megatron's The Ride appearance was planned for an exclusive Universal Studios release, but was instead released to online retailers in the US due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
